(1) What sort of person is the character at the beginning of the play? What are they like at the end? What caused the changes? Can you point to a key turning point? Romeo, he was a lovesick teenage boy, in the beginning of the play. He was longing for a girl, Rosaline, who did not desire him. He is depressed, and does not want to go anywhere unless she should be there. During the last few moments of Romeo’s life, he was very different from what he was like in the beginning of Romeo and Juliet. Even though he is now completely heartbroken, and hurt, because he is so much in love with Juliet, not Rosaline, he is willing to take his own life since Juliet was “dead” as he though she was. The changes that occurred were mainly that Rosaline would not have him and therefore his friends would try to bring him to parties to meet new people. A key turning point in this play was the party at the Capulets. It is the location of which Romeo meets Juliet and they madly in love, love at first sight. (2) What was the moral low point, the moral high point for this character? The moral low point for Romeo was after the death of Mercrucio, his beloved friend. He gets emotional and angry with Tybalt, and runs to find him, stabbing him in the heart with a sword. A moral high point was right before this event occurred. Right after he is wedded he runs to Tybalt, and the Capulets to try to make peace with them. He does everything in his power to befriend Tybalt, attempting to make peace between the house of the Capulets and Montagues. (3) To what degree was the character responsible for this tragedy? The character is directly responsible for the tragedy because he was one of the two that committed suicide, but it was not entirely his fault. Friar Lawrence was not efficient enough to get the letters to Romeo, telling him about the plan. Romeo only did what he thought was right. (4) What should this character have done differently? Romeo should have talked to the priest, who knew the Juliet was really not dead. Romeo, if consulting the priest first, would have saved both his and Juliet’s life. (5) How would this character dress? What general style of clothing would suit? What colours would best represent the character and why? I believe Romeo should dress in noble clothes, with a simple style to it. Most of Romeo’s clothes should be fine quality, but sticking mainly to a plain design. A color I would relate to him would be blue and red, because the main to emotions he feels in the story is love and hate (red), sadness and a feeling of loss (blue). (6) Select one hand prop (e.g. sword, wine goblet, piece of jewellery) which you would have this character use often, or be associated with, in a production of the play. Explain why this object suits your character. I would associate Romeo which a beautifully carved wine glass. Elegant, with much pride, but also easily breakable; its stem in always thin, even though the weight of all the wine it bears is much. Romeo is also very elegant, and prideful, and can hold much love, but is all too easily broken. He can shatter just by taking his love away; leaving him to die is despair.
