Act I
"And too soon marred are those so early made, Earth hath swallowed all my hopes but she, She is the hopeful lady of my earth, But woo her, Gentle Paris, get her heart."- Lord Capulet, I, ii Capulet is saying that girls who marry so early have problems with their relationships. He is hoping that his daughter will have a good life, and thelast thing he wants is for her to have problems with her marriage. He asks Count Paris to get to know her and get her to love him before they marry. I believe that this quote can easily be related to life today. Many young people nowadays, especially teenagers, will get into relationships that end not long after they start. The amount of divorces among young people today is pretty high, so this easily shows that this quote is applying to life today. [|LSABraden.doc]

Act III
"He is a kinsman to the Montague; Affection makes him false, he speaks not true."- Lady Capulet, III, i

Lady Capulet is angered by Benvolio's story, because she believes he "sugar coated" it to put it in favor of the Montagues. She would think that because he is part of the Montague family. In life today, a lot of people will lie to try to defend their family members or groups. They don't want to let their family have a bad name, or they just love and want to defend them. That can make it possible to assume that someone is only speaking for their side. [|Newspaper article Braden.doc]

Act IV
"All things that we ordained festival Turn from their office to black funeral."- Lord Capulet, IV, iv

Capulet is sad because he has learned that his daughter has died. Everything that they had gathered for the wedding celebration must serve a purpose for her funeral. In these days, a tragedy can also ruin everyone's mood if it is before a celebration. No one would be happy with the good occaision being ruined. Then everything that was obtained for the celebration can't be used or must be used differently. [|Parents vs. Teenagers Braden.doc]

Act V
"Thou art not conquered. Beauty's ensign yet Is crimson in thy lips and in thy cheeks, And death's pale flag is not advanced there." -Romeo, V, iii

Romeo has realized that Juliet is not pale, but actually has full color in her. He believes that she is too beautiful to be conquered by death that quickly. This is an example of dramatic irony. He thinks that she is dead, but we really know that she is getting color back because the potion is starting to wear off and she is going to be waking up soon. [|RewriteEnd Braden.doc]
