Romeo and Juliet

What is true love? What is infatuation? Is "love at first sight" possible? We'll be exploring these questions and more as we read through William Shakespeare's beloved play, Romeo and Juliet in English I. Here are some famous quotes from that play:

"Good night, good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow, That I shall say good night till it be morrow."

"Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou, Romeo? Deny thy father, and refuse thy name."

"My only love sprung from my only hate; too early unknown and known too late."

"But soft! What light through yonder window breaks? It is the east and Juliet is the sun."

"What's in a name? That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet."

"When he shall die, take him and cut him out in little stars and he will make the face of heaven so fine that all the world will be in love with night and pay no worship to the garish sun."

"O, swear not by the moon, the fickle moon, the inconstant moon, that monthly changes in her circle orb, Lest that thy love prove likewise variable."

"Is love a tender thing? It is too rough, too rude, too boisterous; and it pricks like thorn."

Extra Credit will be given to any English I student who writes out all of these quotes in red ink and finds each Act, Scene and Line number from the play. (For example: Act I, Scene 1, Lines 1-2). This must be turned in by Monday, January 19 at 12:30 p.m. to receive extra credit.
