The monologue that I chose to do is act 3 scene 2...... (Shall I speak ill of him that is my husband/where is my father and my mother nurse)
ReplyDeleteJuliet is speaking to her nurse in this scene.Juliet is impatiently awaiting nightfall, when Romeo is supposed to sneak into her room. She's hasn't heard about the fray yet.When the Nurse enters, her behavior makes it clear that something has gone wrong.First, Juliet thinks Romeo has been killed.Then she realizes that her husband has just murdered her cousin.
Juliet's first reaction is to reject Romeo.She starts cursing Romeo, and the Nurse joins in.
Juliet turns on the Nurse and tells her she can't criticize Romeo."Will you speak well of him that killed your cousin?" the Nurse says."Shall I speak ill of him that is my husband?" Juliet asks in reply.Juliet realizes that if Romeo hadn't killed Tybalt, then Tybalt would have killed Romeo. Forced to choose between the cousin she has loved all her life and her new husband, she chooses Romeo.But then she remembers that the Nurse also said that Romeo has been banished from Verona. She could deal with the fact that her cousin was dead, but not the thought that she can't see Romeo anymore.Seeing her despair, the Nurse promises to find Romeo so that Juliet can at least say good-bye to him.
This is a monologue and not a soliloquy because juliet isn’t thinking any of this stuff. she is just having a personal conversation about someone she really cares aboutwith her nurse. And this isn’t an aside because another character hears it which is her nurse.
I can connect with this personally because I can see how she didn’t have any sympathy for her cousin’s death.i mean i would care about my cousin but it would be a little hard considering he also tried to kill my husband so. If my cousin wanted to kill my husband that I was in deeply truly in love with and my husband killed my cousin I wouldn’t care much of his death either.i would widh they could get along but thats not good enough. I also connected with it more because with Romeo getting banished would make it so much harder for them to see ecah other. and trust there is someone i went to school with but we go to different schools now and my parents dont approve of him so i understand very good.
The person that I chose to do my monologue on is Romeo because I feel that I relate to him, I don’t know if it is because of his age or because of the way he sees girls. The selection that I chose from Romeo is in act 1 scene 5.
ReplyDeleteRomeo is speaking to the servant in this part about a girl.
The lines that are a part of this selection make up a monologue.
I can relate to this text in a couple ways. One way I can relate to this text is because I have talked about the way a girl looks or how she is looking that day. I also can relate to this text because I have had to explain someone a girl’s beauty and why I liked her and why I thought she was attractive. I also can relate because I had to explain to someone why one girl looks better than the other. I relate also because I like girls and I like letting them know how beautiful they really are no matter what some says about them and that is how I think Romeo fills that is why we relate. I also think this text is very important because Romeo is expressing his feelings towards a girl. I think he thinks this text would be important to the story, too. This text also shows how much love he gives for a girl and I relate to this because I think you should let a girl know that you love or like her.
In the Soliloquy im doing Romeo is the speaker. And the soliloquy im doing is in Act 2 scene 1.
ReplyDeleteRomeo is speaking to Juliet, a young, beautiful girl of the Capulet family, a family that happens to have a bad history with Romeos family. The Montagues. He is addressing her from below the balcony of Juliets room outside of her house.
The lines are part of a soliloquy because Romeo is speaking to juliet during this piece and juliet knows she's being spoken to by Romeo.
Well, I kind of know where Romeo is coming from with the heart felt speech to juliet because I've felt like that towards a girl before and kind of do now. Romeo is speaking from his heart and i always speak what I am feeling too, plus if I were to make a speech like that towards a girl I'd probably use romantic similes and metaphors also to seem like I am a loving person.
In the monologue im using the Prince is talking to both the capulets and montagues about the civil brawl they just had. This take place in Act 1 Scene 1.
ReplyDeletePrince is speaking to both families and he is telling them that he i going to let them slide this once more but next time someone life is going to pay the price for disturbing the peace.
This a monologue because it is a speech that other characters can her.
I can personally connect with this because i have people in my family who live to argue and fight and need to be handled. The Prince said if they pull this stunt again, someone life will be jeopardized.
First Part: The oral presentation I decided to do is a monologue, Romeo is the character speaking, and it takes place Act 2- Scene 2, “but soft, what light through yonder window breaks?... that I might touch thy cheek!
ReplyDeleteSecond Part: In the act, Romeo is speaking to Juliet
Third Part: the line I chose isn’t a soliloquy because I’m not talking to myself. My line is also not an aside because I’m not talking to the audience. My line is a monologue because I was having a conversation with another character.
Finally: I can personally connect with this selection in a good way. The reason why is because I can understand the way Romeo feels when he says "But soft, what light through yonder window breaks/that I might touch that cheek!" To me it seems that he really likes Juliet. He likes him so much that he wants to touch her cheek. I know that when I like a girl a lot, I might want to touch her. To me, Romeo is very laid back and cool. He has his way with the women, but he knows what he likes. When he doesn't like you, he doesn't like you. He likes what he likes. He's just like me, that’s how I know I can connect with Romeo. If I were there with Romeo back then, we would be real cool because were so much alike.
The monologue I chose was Act 1 Scene 3 the Nurse...Even or odd, of all day in the year.../ my house and welcome at their pleasure stay.
ReplyDeleteIn this act and scene the nurse was talking too Lady Capulet, Juliet, and serving man… I think it is a soliloquy because I know for a fact that it’s not a monologue because a monologue is when something is being memorized by some body and one person is saying it. And an aside is when a character in a play is talking or asking the audience something and the other characters suppose to act like they didn’t hear it. But a soliloquy is an act of speaking one's thoughts aloud when by oneself or regardless of any hearers, by a character in a play. So I really don’t know.
The character I chose was the nurse because I think that I really have a personally connect with her. I say this because in the story her baby girl passed away and in my life my oldest sister passed away. So just for that reason I decided to chose this one. And like in the story at first to me it seems like that she was beating herself up because of the lost of her daughter. But then someone started talking to her and now she is say that her daughter is up there with god and she’s in a better place. And that’s how I was when I first found out about my sister’s death. I just felt that, that shouldn’t have been her but when my mommy talked to me I agreed with her and said I’m sad she’s not here but I know that she’s in a better place.
Who is it? To whom are they speaking with? What Scene,Which Act?
ReplyDeleteThe Person i have chosen to do my monologue on is the Nurse character. I am Doing Act 3 scene 5
Faith, here it is.
"Romeo is banish'd; and all the world to nothing,
That he dares ne'er come back to challenge you;
Or, if he do, it needs must be by stealth.
Then, since the case so stands as now it doth,
I think it best you married with the county.
O, he's a lovely gentleman!
Romeo's a dishclout to him: an eagle, madam,
Hath not so green, so quick, so fair an eye
As Paris hath. Beshrew my very heart,
I think you are happy in this second match,
For it excels your first: or if it did not,
Your first is dead; or 'twere as good he were,
As living here and you no use of him".
. In This Line the Nurse was Speaking towards Juliet.
Is it an Aside, Soliloquy or a Monologue ?
This line Is a monologue. It can not be an aside because the nurse is speaking directly to Juliet and not out to the audience having a sidebar conversation. And that is what a aside is "having a sidebar conversation with the audience",But this is not a soliloquy because the Nurse isn't speaking to herself. So that leaves this scene (line) to be not an Aside , or a Soliloquy but a monologue. In a monologue the speaker is speaking towards someone and not out to the audience or anything.
How Do i Connect Personally ?
Me as i am can personally connect to the scene because the Nurse was being cold hearted and giving no sympathy towards Romeo. I think that is great to show no sympathy because sometimes you just shouldn't care. I can also somehow to connect with this scene because she is an advice giver and is teaching/Telling Juliet to learn to move on. The Nurse is being a strong person for Juliet as she is going through a trouble in her life time. This Is how i could make a personal connection with this scene in my Monologue.
My monologue is a short speech by Romeo that takes place in act one scene four. He talks about the consequence of the night's revels. He says the consequence is the loss of someone dear to him. Romeo is speaking with Benvolio and Mercutio about what he supposes will happen in the future. To tell the truth, I can't precisely tell whether or not the other characters should be able to hear Romeo as he says this. There are no indicators. This could be a monologue or an aside. It would not be a soliloquy because Romeo is not by himself. I can relate to my monologue because sometimes I believe I predict my fate or destiny. Unlike Romeo, I do not come up with that prediction while I am awake. It usually comes to me in a dream. When the actual moment that I dreamt of happens, I recall seeing it or going through that moment before. It's not exactly like what happened with Romeo because what happens to me feels more like deja vu. It's quite strange. In conclusion, Romeo annouces exactly whst's going to take place through out the rest of the story. At the party, he meets Juliet and falls in love with her. Soon enough she becomes the person he loves that loses her life. This only ends up happening because he went to that party just like he foretold.
ReplyDeleteThe person i have chosen to do my monologue on is Friar Lawrence. The reason i have chosen friar Lawrence is because he shows sympathy to the star crossed lovers and even though it doesn't necessarily concern him goes out of his way to help them. He, to me, is a person of understanding to these two adolescents. I can relate to the friar because i have been put in situations before were i had to make a complicated decision and the roads of these decisions were just as clouded as Romeo and Juliet’s. This an aside because the friar isn't talking to anyone and no else can hear it until Romeo comes in which in that moment it becomes a monologue’s want to state however even though Romeo does enter while the friar is speaking he never noted Romeo’s presence so as Romeo was in the room the friar continued to speak as if Romeo hadn't entered the room. Friar Lawrence’s part occurred in act two scene Three at the very beginning. Friar Lawrence’s part begins with the line “ The grey-eyed morn smiles on the frowning night,”. Another reason I chose to do this particular monologue is because at the moment it seemed like the easiest grade I could get but in fact the friar’s part is quite hard to learn. In his defense however the different dialect they had is all quite difficult learn.
ReplyDeletethe monologue i chose is romeo act1 scene 5. O She doth teach torches how to burn bright...\For i never saw true beauty before this night. I chose this scene because i can really relate to it. It is the scene were romeo falls head over heels in love with Juliet. I can remember i a time when i fell head over heels in love with a girl. that is why i chose this scene. this scene is going to be really easy to remember because i have felt the same feelings romeo is feeling in this scene. In this scene it is the first time that romeo sees Juliet and he is astonished by her beauty. He automatically falls in love with her. the first time i can really say i fell in love was in the 6th grade,it was my first day and i walked in and saw her . When i did i couldn't believe my eyes. we ended up just going out for a 3 months. it reminded me of Romeo and Juliet because they were only together for a short time. Romeo and Juliet should relate to allot of fourteen and thirteen year old because that's how old Romeo and Juliet were. this is a great and interesting play.
ReplyDeleteThe monologue that i chose to do is Act 2 Scene 2. (O Romeo, Romeo, where art thou Romeo? / Take all myself.) In this scene Juliet is sitting by a swimming pool talking to herself. She saying how she is so in love with Romeo to the point of asking why is he a Montague. If Romeo stop’s being a Montague then she will also stop being a lady Capulet .These lines make up a soliloquy, because Juliet is expressing her feelings to herself and the audience without any other characters. I personally connect with this act because I have also really liked someone. For example, I met this boy and for 2 weeks I couldn’t get him off my mind for 2 weeks. I really know how Juliet feels about Romeo. I think love at first sight is a true quote.
ReplyDeleteWho is speaking? Juliet. What act, what scene? Act 2, Scene 2.
ReplyDeleteWho is she talking to? Juliet is talking to Romeo.
This part is a monologue because Juliet and Romeo are actually talking to each other.
I can relate to this part of the play/story because they are having an romantic scene. I know exactly How Juliet feels about her love Romeo. And what she would do for him.
Thou know'st the mask of night is on my face,
Else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek
For that which thou hast heard me speak to-night
Fain would I dwell on form, fain, fain deny
What I have spoke: but farewell compliment!
Dost thou love me? I know thou wilt say 'Ay,'
And I will take thy word: yet if thou swear'st,
Thou mayst prove false; at lovers' perjuries
Then say, Jove laughs. O gentle Romeo,
If thou dost love, pronounce it faithfully:
Or if thou think'st I am too quickly won,
I'll frown and be perverse an say thee nay,
So thou wilt woo; but else, not for the world.
In truth, fair Montague, I am too fond,
And therefore thou mayst think my 'havior light:
But trust me, gentleman, I'll prove more true
Than those that have more cunning to be strange.
I should have been more strange, I must confess,
But that thou overheard'st, ere I was ware,
My true love's passion: therefore pardon me,
And not impute this yielding to light love,
Which the dark night hath so discovered.
The line that I will be doing is by Friar: The grey-ey'd morn smiles on the frowning night,
ReplyDeleteCheck'ring the Eastern clouds with streaks of light; And flecked darkness like a drunkard reels From forth day's path and Titan's fiery wheels and Being tasted, slays all senses with the heart. Two such opposed kings encamp them still In man as well as herbs—grace and rude will; And where the worser is predominant, Full soon the canker death eats up that plant.
Friar Laurence is speaking in Act two Scene three.
Friar Laurence is talking to himself, but then Romeo enters then he starts talking to Romeo.
These lines are part of a soliloquy, because he is talking to himself. The definition of soliloquy is an utterance or discourse by a person who is talking to himself or herself or is disregardful of or oblivious to any hearers present or the act of talking while or as if alone.
I can connect with this, because you know how people have their moments and they start talking to themselves like some people in our class period. I know that every person has seen theirs selves talking to themselves. People may say,” Who are you talking to”? ,” You aren’t talking to me”. Or” Why are you talking to yourself, or something in that manner. All I am trying to say is that everyone has seen or have gone though the problem of talking to their self in one point in there
The person i chose to do my monologue on was prince. I picked prince because he has power. The sesction that i chose from prince in act 1 scene 1.
ReplyDeleteIn this scene prince is talking to the capulets and montagues because he is talking to other people its a monologue.prince is talking to the familys because they have destructive and disturb the citizens.
I chose him because him because he has power and runs the city. i dont have power or controle any thing.

I chose him because him because he has power and runs the city. i dont have power or controle any thing.
The monologue I chose was Benvolio act 1 scene (Madam, an hour before the worshipped sun
ReplyDeletePeered forth the golden window of the east,
A troubled mind drove me to walk abroad,
Where, underneath the grove of sycamore
That westward rooteth from this city side,
So early walking did I see your son.
Towards him I made, but he was 'ware of me
And stole into the covert of the wood.
I, measuring his affections by my own,
Which then most sought where most might not be found,
Being one too many by my weary self,
Pursued my humor not pursuing his,
And gladly shunned who gladly fled from me.)
Benvolio is Speaking to Lady Montague. Benvolio is worry about Romeo, because Romeo and Rosaline separated, and Romeo was crying, sad, alone, and depress.
This is a monologue because Benvolio is talking direct to another character
I can personally connect with this monologue because I am responsible and care for others. When I with my friends or siblings and something is troubling them like bullies, abuse, relationship problems, or school work I always try to help.
The soliloquy i choose is spoken by Juliet , act 2 scene 5 . (The clock struct nine when I did send the Nurse..../hast thou met with him? send thy man way.)
ReplyDeleteJuliet is speking to in gernal, or you can say to the audience.Juliet is waiting for the nurse to come back. The nurse went on her way to meet with Romeo
to tell him that him and juliet are getting married. she is overwelmed and impatient to kno whats happing at that very moment. then the nurse finnly
gets home with the news.
These lines are an soliloquy. they are an soliloquy because shes speaking to the audience. its not a monolugue or a aside because she's not having a conversation with someone or to the adiunce.
I personally connect with juliet in this scene beacuse some times i get impatient and anxious about things filimar to her situation. im wish i could do it myself but someone
else has to for me. and it feels like its takeing forver. but wen the time comes to hear what i been waiting for its all worth it.
The part in Romeo and Julliet that I will recite will be from the character Mercutio. It is when he speaks about the dream fairy, Queen Mab. It is in Act 1 Scene 4[she's the fairies' midwife and she comes.../This is she]
ReplyDeleteThis is considered to be a monologue because he is not on stage by himself, which would make this a soliloquy. It is not him talking to the audience, while there are people on stage, with him.
The reason I relate to my selection from Romeo and Julliet is because I make up stories sometimes to help people like my little brother to understand things for school or why something happens. For instance he scraped his leg and a couple of days later there was a scab where he bled. I explained it to him by creating the exact thing Mercutio...a myth. I also do this when I am being sarcastic. It helps make the situation dramatic. It is also something you do when you are bored and you ask random questions like, “Why is the sky blue?" Of course there is a science to explain it, but making a myth is way more fun. Another reason I chose it was because it was not only in bold print meaning 20 extra points, but underlined also giving me thirty extra possible points. This will help me increase my grade in your class. It will eventually lead to my ultimate goal, which is graduating from high school. Thank you for this spectacular opportunity to help out our grades.

Number 1: Who is speaking:Romeo to Friar
ReplyDeleteWhat act and what scene: Act 3 Scene 3
Number 2: State whom they are speaking to:Romeo is talking to Friar because he is pissed off at him for being banished from the town
Number 3: Indicate whether the lines are part of a monologue, a soliloque, or an aside:It is a aside
Number 4: I have a personal connection with this story because he is banished from the town kind of like when i am on punishment and i cant go no where and i have to stay in my room doing nothing i think that is how i have a personal connection with my monolouge 'Tis torture and not mercy. Heaven is here,
Where Juliet lives, and every cat and dog
And little mouse, every unworthy thing,
Live here in heaven and may look on her,
But Romeo may not. More validity,
More honorable state, more courtship lives
In carrion flies than Romeo. They may seize
On the white wonder of dear Juliet’s hand
And steal immortal blessing from her lips,
Who even in pure and vestal modesty,
Still blush, as thinking their own kisses sin.
But Romeo may not. He is banishèd.
Flies may do this, but I from this must fly.
They are free men, but I am banishèd.
And sayst thou yet that exile is not death?
Hadst thou no poison mixed, no sharp-ground knife,No sudden mean of death, though ne'er so mean,But “banishèd” to kill me?—“Banishèd”!
O Friar, the damnèd use that word in hell.
Howling attends it. How hast thou the heart,
Being a divine, a ghostly confessor,
A sin-absolver, and my friend professed,
To mangle me with that word “banishèd"
The monologue I was doing was located in Scene five.
ReplyDeleteMER is the character speaking in mine.
She is the fairies’ midwife, and she comes
In shape no bigger than an agate stone(60)
On the forefinger of an alderman,
Drawn with a team of little atomies
Athwart men's noses as they lie asleep;
Her wagon spokes made of long spinners’ legs,
The cover, of the wings of grasshoppers;(65)
Her traces, of the smallest spider's web;
Her collars, of the moonshine's wat'ry beams;
Her whip, of cricket's bone; the lash, of film;
Her wagoner, a small grey-coated gnat,
Not half so big as a round little worm(70)
Prick'd from the lazy finger of a maid;
Her chariot is an empty hazelnut,
Made by the joiner squirrel or old grub,
Time out o’ mind the fairies’ coachmakers.
And in this state she gallops night by night(75)
Through lovers’ brains, and then they dream of love;
O'er courtiers’ knees, that dream on court'sies straight;
O'er lawyers’ fingers, who straight dream on fees;
O'er ladies’ lips, who straight on kisses dream,
Which oft the angry Mab with blisters plagues,(80)
Because their breaths with sweetmeats tainted are.
Sometime she gallops o'er a courtier's nose,
And then dreams he of smelling out a suit;
And sometime comes she with a tithe-pig's tail
Tickling a parson's nose as a’ lies asleep,(85)
Then dreams he of another benefice.
Sometimes she driveth o'er a soldier's neck,
And then dreams he of cutting foreign throats,
Of breaches, ambuscadoes, Spanish blades,
Of healths five fathom deep; and then anon(90)
Drums in his ear, at which he starts and wakes,
And being thus frighted, swears a prayer or two
And sleeps again. This is that very Mab
How can I relate?
I can't really relate to the monologues you have POSTED By Romeo and Juliet. Just have some lines i'll use to pop off on a female
#Get money
In Act 1 Scene 5, Capulet is speaking in this scene. He is talking to the guest and maskers at the Capulet’s party and he has walked in with Juliet. I this section it is an aside because the Capulet is only talking to the audience when he says this. I have a personal connection to this scene that I have chosen in many ways. For example, the scene is funny because it Capulet is talking about ladies toes. Furthermore, he says that if they do not dance than it is because they have corns on there toes and they are not shy. When Capulet says this it makes me laugh. When Capulet is talking about how they should have a good time and enjoy there self at the Capulet party. Also, in this scene Capulet is at a party. He went there to have a good time and to see people and socialize. I relate to him because I like to have a good time and listen to music. Furthermore, this scene seems easy to read fluently in my perspective because it’s not so serious. Another way that this scene relates to me is that Romeo is a Montague at this party but only the reader knows that so far, and it seems interesting. Although, Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy, in this scene the reader is able to laugh. Finally, Capulet seems very fun and funny in this scene and it is not as serious. In conclusion, that is what monologue I choose and how I am able to relate to this monologue.
ReplyDeleteI have chosen a monologue which was act 1 scene 4. (I fear too early for my mind misgives/direct my sail! On, lusty gentlemen! The person who is talking in this scene is Romeo. Which who he is speaking to is Benvolio and Mercutio. Romeo, Mercutio, and Benvolio were on their way to a masquerade party. Romeo did not want to go at first. He thinks something is going to happen. He thinks that because at the party was their biggest rivals.
ReplyDeleteI can relate to this because there’s has always been a time where your friends wanted to go somewhere and you didn’t because your worst enemy was there. Like this time when me and my friends were about to go to this concert I really wanted to go, but I knew that the girl I didn’t like was going to be there .I thought since there was going to be so much people there that was I wasn’t going to see her, but I thought wrong. As soon as me and my friends walked through the doors the girl and her friends were standing right there. I tried to avoid them, but every time I turned my back they were right there. Like with Romeo who was at a party with a bunch of people, but he still ended up seeing the person he didn’t get along with. So that’s why I have chosen this monologue to perform to the class. Oh I almost forgot this is a monologue Romeo is talking to more than one person. And is not directed to the audience and not talking to themselves.
Instead of reading the lines from a character, I read the prologue for my monologue presentation. Since the prologue sets the story and/or works there isn’t a named character only the narrator. The prologue comes before all of the scenes and acts and is normally read by the narrator and directed to the audience, whether that is a viewer or reader. I believe that the prologue is a monologue. Even though technically the narrator isn’t a character in the works he or she is still speaking to the audience with a writing that is in the form of a speech. I chose to do the prologue instead of a characters line because I dislike acting. I don’t want to halfway do anything therefore I chose not to. Public speaking already isn’t my forte so I didn’t want to make it any worse by embarrassing myself reading lines that I just barely comprehend. I think that reading the prologue is straight forward and that’s the connection to me. I’m a straight forward person, therefore reading those lines were best for me.
