= = == I do not fully believe there is such thing as fate. I believe that a person has boundaries to follow, but can move about within those lines. I would say that you can escape your "fated" future, that fate takes no hold. Fate could also be thought of like a tree, one big trunk and having many branches. I like to believe that fate is not a one branch tree, but rather that there is more than one path a person can take. I do not think life is like a labyrinth, where no matter which path you take, even with many dead ends, you always eventually end at the same place. The boundaries could be where you live and where you go to school, but you can move around in those lines by picking sports, choosing electives, picking friends, or being a good or bad student. If I am absolutely wrong, it would seem that fate has a cruel sense of humor. ==

= = = Friday, January 20, 2012: Wiki Post #2 = =**#3** = In the play, //Romeo and Juliet,// by William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet find that they love each other but they are from feuding families. Both Romeo and Juliet have similar reactions to learning the other's identity, but each with their own twist. Romeo says,"O dear account! My life is my foe's debt... Ay, so I fear; the more is my unrest ** (82) **." Juliet says,"My only love sprung from my only hate! Too early seen unknown, and known to late! Prodigious birth of love it is to me. That I must love a loathed enemy** (84) **." Both of them are saying that this is love at first sight and if they only knew each other's identity earlier they would have never tried. They both feel they are in the hands of the enemy and they are both depressed. Romeo is depressed because he just was getting over Rosaline and found someone else he loved when he learned he could not be with her. Juliet is depressed because her first and only love is her enemy and she is forbidden to be with Romeo. Although Romeo's and Juliet's reactions are very similar, they do have small differences. As seen in the quotes above, Romeo feels he is now at the mercy of his enemy and he is worried, whereas Juliet says a whole lament on how her only love came from her only hate and how it could never be but she wanted to be with him. Both Romeo and Juliet have very similar reactions after figuring out each other's identity. However, Romeo is worried and depressed and Juliet is dismayed. I think if I was in this situation I would be more like Juliet because I would go on about how horrible it is and not see much light in it.

** #4 **

In Shakespeare's //Romeo and Juliet//, Mercutio is a foil to Romeo. First, Mercutio and Romeo both want to do different things at the party. Romeo says,"You have dancing shoes with nimble soles; I have a soul of lead so stakes me to the ground I cannot move... I'll be a candle-holder and look on. The game was ne'er so fair, and I am done** (62, 64) **." Though Mercutio says, "You are a lover. Borrow Cupid's wings, and soar with them above a common bound"Romeo is saying he does not want to love and he does not want to dance; he just wants to watch** (62) **. Mercutio is all upbeat and excited and tells Romeo that he should go out there and dance and be merry like him. Second, both Mercutio and Romeo have different beliefs. Romeo says, "Is love a tender thing? It is too rough, too rude, too boist'rous, and it pricks like a thorn** (64) **." Mercutio says,"And, to sink in it, should you burden love; too great oppression for a tender thing** (64) **."Romeo says, "In bed asleep, while they do dream things true** (66) **." Mercutio says, "Dreamers often lie** (66) **." Romeo thinks love is harsh and unfair whereas Mercutio thinks love is sweet, tender and blissful. Also Romeo thinks dreams come true whereas Mercutio thinks dreams are lies, things and wants that we can not achieve in reality. Romeo and Mercutio want to do different things at the party and have different beliefs. Mercutio and Romeo have opposite personalities.

= = = Thursday, January 26th - Wiki Post #3 = 3. Do you approve of the Nurse's and Friar's actions in helping with the secret wedding? Explain why or why not and support your reasoning with citations from the text.

In the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, Nurse and Frair Lawrence help Romeo and Juliet with their secret marriage. I approve that they helped Romeo and Juliet with their marriage. I approve of Nurse helping Romeo and Juliet because she wants Juliet to be happy even though Nurse must labor. "Hie you to the church; I must go another way, To fetch a ladder, by which your love must climb a bird's nest soon when it is dark. I am the drudge and toil in your delight** (146) **." Nurse says that she is going to get a ladder so her love can climb to Juliet's room and that she is laboring so Juliet can be happy. Also, I approve of Friar Lawrence helping with Romeo's and Juliet's secret marriage because he wants to end a feud and make the families happy. "In one respect I'll thy assistant be; for this alliance may so happy prove to turn your households' rancour to pure love** (120) **." <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Friar Lawrence feels Romeo is being too fast to change love from Rosaline to Juliet and thinks he just loves for looks. This does not stop him from marrying Romeo and Juliet, but for a different reason; to end the feud between families. In Shakespeare's time, many families pick their daughter's husband; in my opinion, this is wrong and love should be the guide. Nurse also thinks that love should be the guide and I approve of her helping. I agree with Friar Lawrence helping Romeo and Juliet because ending feuds can save lives and make life less disruptive. I think if I was in their shoes I would have also helped Romeo and Juliet with their secret marriage.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 20px;">Another day.... our last chance to save two families. Is it even possible? Now that Tybalt is dead and Romeo is banished, both families will not accept the marriage at all. We need this marriage to bring peace to our fair city of Verona.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 20px;">Oh what is right and what is wrong? It seems that Romeo has lost the will to live now that he "thinks" he will never see his precious Juliet again. "Hast thou slain Tybalt? Wilt thou slay thyself, And slay thy lady that in thy life lives, By doing damned hate upon thyself?" (Shakespeare 192). Bah! He has little faith, he should be ashamed of himself and he calls himself a man. ======

**1**  In the play // Romeo and Juliet // by William Shakespeare, Friar Lawrence wants Juliet to carry<range type="comment" id="592644"> out a dangerous p  lan for Romeo and Juliet to get together. He wants Juliet to carry out the dangerous plan because it would save th <span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">e families from getting far more angry, Romeo and Juliet from getting kicked out of their families, and a lot of explaining to Paris, Juliet's fiance. If the Capulets' think that their only heir and child is dead, they would not have the heart to fight. Also, their bloodline would end and the feud would end for good. If Juliet told them about her secret love, the feud would be so violent that it would mos t likely start a war. Also, if Juliet did not go through with Friar Lawrence's plan, then Romeo and Juliet might have been kicked out of their houses, killed by each other's family from anger, starve to death or get more people involved in the feud. Earlier in the play, Capulet said, "If you don't marry, you can hang, beg, starve, and die in the streets" (214). By following the dangerous plan, Juliet ensures that no one would want to pursue them and there would be less anger among the families, including Paris and his family.

2 <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">In William Shakespeare's //<span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 24px;"> Romeo and Juliet, //<span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">the reactions of Nurse, Lady Capulet, Lord Capulet and Paris to Juliet's fake death are very different depending on how much time each spent with Juliet. Nurse's and Lady Capulet's reaction is much worse to Juliet's fake death than Lord Capulet's reaction. Nurse says, "O, well a day, that ever I was born!" (252). Lady Capulet says, "Revive, look up, or I will die with thee!<range type="comment" id="112852">" (252). Also, both of them say that they hate the woeful day. Both Nurse and Lady Capulet react similarly because they both spent the most time with Juliet. Nurse feels worse because she spent the most time and got the closest to Juliet. Lord Capulet says,"Dead art thou! Alack! My child is dead; And with my child my joys are buried" (256). Here Lord Capulet shows mostly all of his sympathy, he is mostly concerned about the end of his bloodline and seems very sad about it and says, "I will die And leave him all; Life, living -- all is Death's" (254). Paris is very sad because he loved Juliet and was going to marry her that day. Paris says, "Most detestable Death, by thee beguil'd...O love! O life! Not life, but love in death!" (256). Paris is sad and says he will love her in death, though, it seems he will move on, like Romeo and Rosaline. I think the reactions depended on how much time was spent with Juliet and the amount of love for Juliet. All of them loved Juliet, but Nurse had the deepest connection, followed by Lady Capulet, and lastly Lord Capulet. Paris spent the least time and had the smallest connection with her, but he loved her a lot and was greatly affected like Romeo towards Rosaline.

Nurse & Lord Capulet: <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">Nurse: Oh me! My life and liberty cast out upon the streets like the water in a chamber pot. My dear master Capulet has tired of me, he no longer needs my services. What is this I hear, called through the streets. More people dead! Hardly a surprise. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">Servant I:Lord Capulet brings a message to you, the feud is at an end and that is true.

My lady's dead" (Shakespeare 252).) <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">Servant II: Don't you see? Juliet was never dead to begin with. Now Romeo, Juliet are all dead every one of them. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">Nurse: (to Servant I) Servant, take me to Capulet. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">_-_-_ (Servant I knocks on door) Capulet: No need to bang so hard. I am coming! (says with air of depression and opens door) Oh, it is you, Nurse! If you just did your job, Juliet, Romeo, and Paris would still be alive! Nurse: But they would not be happy! If you had a brain in your head you would have listened to your daughter and she would have been with Romeo. Capulet: Well, you want to know what happened? (tells story) Nurse: Oh, Juliet and Romeo! Now no one will hire me, I'll sleep with the homeless and die on the streets. Capulet: Now I will have no friends but my wife and Montague. We will die and the people of Verona will divide our wealth and none will go to my Juliet. I give you a sack of coins. Take it and live a fine life, you knew what to do better than I did.

Gather your belongings and go.

I wish we had an Apothecary, though. Our other one was hanged. Friar Lawrence: (Overhears Villager) I could become the Apothecary. Well, I do like medicinal herbs and different plants. ("I must up-fill this osier cage of ours With baleful weeds and precious-juiced flowers...O, mickle is the powerful grace that lies In plants, herbs, stones in their true qualities.." (114).) I am going to rent the Apothecary establishment and become the new Apothecary. I will go negotiate with the landlord.(Goes to landlord and offers price)Landlord: That sounds like a fair price. You can use the tools and equipment. I would expect to get a fairer price then others when I am in need of your medicine. Good day. And that is how I became Mantua's Apothecary.
