Two entries about the same class.
Thin
Read Act 3 Scene 5. Capulet yells at Juliet. It was intense. Discussed whether Juliet has a choice.
Strong
3.5 — Capulet’s speech. He calls her “green-sickness carrion” and “baggage” in four lines. What struck me: he never uses her name in the whole scene. Lady Capulet does, once, and then leaves.
In discussion I said Juliet has a choice because she could refuse. Priya pointed at line 194 — “hang, beg, starve, die in the streets” — and said that is not a choice, it is a list of outcomes. I think she is right, and it changes what I want to argue in the essay: the play keeps offering choices that are not choices.
Question: does Romeo ever get a scene like this one?
Three moves: a quoted detail, a thought that changed and who changed it, and a question left open.
