English Strategies and English Studies both worked on their summaries for scene three.
English I Honors students looked at the question of whether or not Romeo and Juliet are really in love, using a Socratic Seminar to do this.
Here is sixth period’s seminar:
And here’s a breakdown of their evidence:
| They are in love |
They are not in love |
- if she would not of loved him she would of told him that she was getting married.
- love at first sight apparently.
- risking love for their lives
- romeo is starting to lose his feelings for rosaline and getting feelings for juliet
|
- romeo got out of a crush, missguided puppy love probably does not know what he wants.
- puberty of juliet makes her confused.
- juliet has standards.
- romeo started being attracted to her and wants someone to like.
- juliet plays along.
- romeo still loves rosaline.

Here is seventh period’s seminar:
And here’s a breakdown of their evidence:
| They are in love |
They are not in love |
- 35-39 scene 2 act 2 juliet says she would stop being a capulet for romeo
- he says he will give his name up to be with juliet
- she is speaking her mind and talking to romeo and not just talking to no one
- the things they say to each other like when he calls her an angel
- he kissed her
- he climbed over the garden wall and could have been killed just to see juliet, he risked his life for her
- she says in act 2 scene 2
- she does not want to get married to paris, but when she sees romeo she feels like she loves him
- they are willing to give up their families to be with each other
- love at first sight
- juliet called him the god of her idolatry
- if they did not love each other then they would not be talking about marriage
|
- when they try to commit to something, juliet says no wait
- they just met, she could end up hating romeo
- love could be a joke, not authentic
- romeo says shall i hear more or should i not (keeps questioning)
- romeo liked rosaline not long before he like juliet
- she says this stuff because she wants what she can’t have
- she feels like she has to choose before someone makes her marry someone she does not want to
- they have not proved anything about loving each other
- he could have just picked one over the other for no reason he just saw her and liked her better
- he was just obsessed with rosaline and just moved on
- they have only known each other for a couple hours and they would not be talking about marriage so soon
