Post Three: The Nurse and Friar's Involvement in the Secret Wedding

    Romeo and Juiet were madly in love although their families had been in a feud for decades, so it was forbidden for them to love. Romeo and Juiet did not care what their family thought, so Juiet told Nurse to go talk to Romeo to make meeting arrangements. When Nurse returned she said "Then hurry to Frair Lawrence cell. Then your husband waits to make you wife." Romeo and Juliet were not the only ones involved in the secret wedding, Nurse was involved too. I think it was the right thing to do for Nurse to help Juliet with her wedding because Nurse had worked for Juliet ever since she was a baby and so it is almost as if Juliet is her boss. It would be wrong for Nurse to not carry out that order and it would be inappropriate for her to have a say, even though they were very close.

  When Romeo and Juliet arrived at the Friar's cell, he was quite shocked to see that Romeo was in love once again, only days after having been in love with Rosaline. I disapprove of the Friars involvement with the secret wedding because I think he was only marrying them because he thought that it would end their family feud, not because of their love for each other. "Come! Come with me and we'll make this ceremony short." said Friar Loawrence.

  1. Great response, Courtney. I think it is interesting that you don't approve of Friar's involvement because of his reason (ending feud instead of love). You're definitely a romantic! :-) Make sure you read my blog prompt carefully as I would have liked to see you connect/explain your images more. Also, include the vocabulary in the same post as the response. Good work, Courtney!
