Being the Discussion Director for this Act, I realized that the example questions for this role are slightly ridiculous.(no offence Mrs.Hayden)
While reading this Act I wasn't thinking into what would happen next, or who it reminded me of, what other people might think happen next, or even what the most important thing is. I was only focusing on what was happening, Juliet and Paris meeting and the Friar Laurence's cell, the Friar and Juliet's conversation, Juliet's desperation not to marry Paris, Capulet's excitement at the expense of Juliet's happiness. It seems as though the entire story is unraveling through out just this one act. However it did make me think of how some parents know so little of their children that they force them into things that make them horribly depressed, or they do not notice important things in their children's lives. Juliet's parents do not notice her displeasure towards marrying Paris so soon, or her despair and longing for Romeo. In modern day I have known many cases where Parents don't notice eating disorders or suicide attempts amongst their children. However other than those small similarities I dontrelate this play to modern day whilst reading it, I simply enjoy the beauty of the language and the story of another time.
