Mother/Daughter Talks

Today, we meet Juliet, her mother,
and her Nurse.

The Plan:

1. Book Love
2. Act I, Scene iii
3. Writing

Act I, Scene iii Questions for your English Journal:

1. What does the Nurse's monologue in lines 21-54 tell us about Juliet's childhood? How do you know?
2. The extended metaphor in lines 87-104 draws comparison between what two things? What are some of the specific aspects of those two objects being compared? Why does Lady Capulet make this comparison?
3. How do Juliet and her mother differ in their opinions on the marriage? How does she progress the plot of the play?

HOMEWORK:
