A New Found Confidence

      The literary analysis that this piece will cover is how Juliet outgrew the nurse. The script will show how Juliet is changing into a new and more grown up person. The nurse in this sense is used as a constant, she never changes, she remains the same. So, by showing Juliet reactions, emotions, and dialogue towards the nurse, you can see the difference of Juliet's personality. By seeing this analysis, it changes the way you look at the play. Juliet has gained a new found confidence, which allows her to make her own decisions, which is shown in these scenes. By understating this concept, it puts Juliet into a new perspective. The theme of the play is about fate and destiny, by the end of the play, Juliet is in control of her own destiny and fate, which is shown in her new attitude. By looking at all of this, you understand the play in a different light. Juliet is not seen as a a little, innocent girl anymore, but a grown up.
     The scenes that will show this transformation is Act 2 scene 5 and Act 3 scene 2.
These two scenes show how sweet and innocent Juliet was and the after affects when her and Romeo are separated. In Act 2 Scene 5, Juliet is calm, young and innocent. She is very kind to the nurse and talks to her with respect. In Act 3 Scene 2, she gets angry and upset with the nurse and talks of a ruder tone then before. She is more mature, and has more authority over the nurse, because she doesn't see her as a caretaker, like she does before. To stage this scene, the nurse and Juliet will be in her bedroom. The first scene you will be able to tell they are treated equally. Juliet will hold the nurses hand and be sitting with the nurse. You will be able to see Juliet is timid, by her hand movements and actions towards the nurse. She will talk softly and look more at her hands, and the nurse will comfort her, In the next scene, Juliet will be standing up tall and the nurse will have a hunched back. Juliet will look down upon the nurse, ans the nurse will no longer be able to comfort Juliet. This will show how the Juliet has formed into a different person.
     Only two people will be needed for this scene, the nurse and Juliet. I, Charlie, will play Juliet, and Grace Greene will be the nurse. As a group Grace and I decided to work on all the parts together and collaborate. This allows us to both come up with ideas and share them. This creates and better scene and a better understanding to see both perspectives on everything. It will be equal.
