We first compared how the character of Capulet interestingly is similar to Romeo's . Both act in "haste" tragically and appear driven by emotion rather than reason. In this regard, we studied Friar Lawrence as a contrasting figure who represents philosophical rationality or stoicism rather than what he describes as Romeo's "brutish " haste. We then studied the very poetic dialogue between Romeo and Juliet as Romeo departs Verona due to his banishment. Aiden did very well in identifying the metaphors, the items compared , as well as the use of personification. Aiden further did very well in identifying the use of foreshadowing within this dialogue.
