So far is the play, it seems like almost everyone’s personality is taken to the extreme. Romeo is very romantic, Tybalt is extremely aggressive, Benvolio is the ‘peacekeeper’, the nurse is dirty-minded, and Mercutio is very imaginative. As a whole, I think they all represent different parts of human nature. As for something I can personally connect with, I don’t think I can. The language and the characters are all new to me, and some of it is very confusing.
At home, I get the reading done, and try to understand what I can. The definition pages and the Shakespeare glossary really help, though. I have heard from a lot of people that you should read aloud when you’re reading Shakespeare, so I think I’ll try that.
