Romeo & Juliet: Act 2

So the second time they talk to each other he proposes? That just seems wrong. It seems like the only way that would happen nowadays is if the two people met on an online dating site or something of that nature.

When I started reading Scene 2 I was very surprised becaue that was the only part of the play I actually knew and I didn't think that it would come so soon! I was expecting it in Act 4 or 5, but I guess not! Their whole exchange there is so cute! I loved when Romeo said. "Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon," (pg. 38, line 4) and then I loved what they said in Scene 2 from line 54 to 65 about how Romeo would stop being a Montague for her, it was so sweet!

Friar Lawrence seems like a pretty cool guy, I hope he doesn't end up telling on Romeo and Juliet, because if he does I'll be very disappointed in him. But I love how he said "Holy Saint Francis!" in Scene 3, line 66.

Mercutio is quite a strange bird. But I love the way he says things! Most of my favorite lines from this act came from him. Like:

-"Why, that same pale hard-hearted wench,
that Rosaline, torments him so that he will sure run mad."(Act 2, scene IV, line 4-5)

-"the very pin of his heart cleft with the blind
bow-boys butt-shaft; and is he a man to encounter
Tybalt?" (Act 2, scene IV, line 15-17) <-- It made me laugh soo hard!

-"Nay, I am the very pink of courtesy." (Act 2, scene IV, line 56)

And then he said something about a Prince of Cats in line 19 and I found that very amusing!

I really like this play so far and I can't wait to continue reading!
