Romeo and Juliet, Act 1

Question: What are your thoughts on Act 1?  

Length: 200 words minimum

I want to hear what you think.  You may write about any aspect of the first act (or several aspects) that interested you.  If you have a hard time getting started, here are some suggestions (not requirements) of topics that you may want to think about:
  • Are the characters like you expected them to be?
  • Does Romeo really love Juliet?  Is true love at first sight possible?
  • What about Rosaline?
  • What did you think of the puns and the wordplay?
  • What about the language in general?
  • Do you have questions?  Insights?  Things you wish we could discuss more?
  • If you've read the play before, how are your experiences or interpretations different this time around?
