Video extract: Romeo and Juliet (Baz Luhrman)

The killing

 

The scene takes place in a street of Verona.

Romeo and Tybalt are present and they look extremely furious/angry/mad.

First, Tybalt and Romeo are chasing each other with cars.

At the end, Romeo shoots Tybalt.

This scene is violent and gloomy (macabre/inquiétante).

 

We feel scared, shocked and surprised too.

HOMEWORK: learn the lesson for Tuesday

 

Hello everyone,

During our last lessons, we worked on the play: key moments.

Then, we studied the prologue.

Finally, we started working on SMS language.

Here are the lessons:

                                PROLOGUE

Two households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes
A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life;
Whose misadventured piteous overthrows
Do with their death bury their parents' strife.
The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love,
And the continuance of their parents' rage,
Which, but their children's end, nought could remove,
Is now the two hours' traffic of our stage;
The which if you with patient ears attend,
What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.
