In this eloquent, yet somewhat confusing play, I find myself most similar to the Prince or Mercutio. The Prince ends the fight in the beginning of the play; I feel like that is similar to me, for I do not like fighting and I usually try to keep the peace wherever I am. Mercutio is the one who sarcastically pokes fun at Romeo's exceedingly dramatic monologues. I think I am somewhat of a sarcastic person, especially towards those who seem to leave a trail of drama wherever they go; I don't see the point in it and I just think it's silly.
I really like every aspect of reading the play at home, and following it up with your knowledge of the play the next day, it really helps me to understand some scenes that are originally so confusing. At home I understand the bullk of everything happening, but then when we read it during class the next day I feel enlightened by seeing new double meanings or puns that Shakespeare so often uses; and so often that I don't catch while reading at my house. Initially, Shakespeare's writing was quite overwhelming to me, but as I've kept reading it has gotten surprisingly easier to understanding. I think I'm saying this of behalf of the class as well: Thank you for letting us read this in class, it helps so much.
