Quiz 1
1.
I do believe Romeo and Juliet fall in love at the first sight. However, the person they fall in love with is not necessary each other. Meaning Romeo is not necessary to fall in love with Juliet, it can be any person, at this stage. Same as Juliet. These two people are in their age of loving. They do not have a sense of the love or the responsibility behind it but are desiring attention and recognition from the people of their age. In the case of Romeo, he falls in love to someone and change his mind too quickly and too hard. He first falls in love with Rosaline and almost exhausted from the unrequited love. However, as soon as he meets Juliet, he thinks he “ne’er saw true beauty till this night.” He then tries to approach Juliet and his love is recognized. He then is happy and falls deeper in love with her. View back from the beginning, most of the decision Romeo made were opposed by his friend and his cousin. Neither does Rosaline. Maybe it is Juliet’s action that too encourages Romeo to create bonds between Romeo and Juliet. In term of Juliet, she needs recognition, too. In her family, she does not have a friend that in her age. She has no strong relationship with her mother, either. In the Act 1, she also does not speak directly with her cousin Tybalt. Neither speaks to Paris, who proposes. Romeo is the only one who is in Juliet’s age that approaches her and makes conversations with her. The reaction seems more like an excitement than loving the personality of Romeo. She might misunderstand the feeling and assume it as love. Therefore, there is a possibility that anyone can be Romeo and Juliet’s target to fall in love with.

The exaggerations in the film make the “love in first sight” possible for Romeo and Juliet. Broadly, except Romeo and Juliet, almost everyone in the show acts crazily. They are nuts doing drugs or ridiculous people holding guns willing to disturb the peace. It makes the Romeo and Juliet's decisions more rational. Maybe sounds crazy in the real world that fall in love at first sight, but sounds much better in a place that everyone is crazy.
On the other hand, some key terms play a part in contributing the possibility of the “love in first sight.” Before Romeo go to the Capulet’s party, he does drug and seeing all the crazy and chaotic things. He then goes to the bathroom and sees the fish tank. The fish tank is in a well blue color that calm Romeo down. Through the fish tank, Romeo sees Juliet. Through the tank they are not able to touch each other, this is where curiosity plays a part. The obstacle of the tank makes Romeo want to interact with Juliet. When he tries to reach out to Juliet, she was dancing with Paris. She is constantly looking at Romeo, showing that she is interested in Romeo as well. Romeo knows that but cannot touch or talk to Juliet yet. The feeling of wanting accumulates inside Romeo and make the burst more dramatic and more possible for “love in first sight.”
For Juliet, she has a crazy mother, a crazy nurse, a crazy future husband. Her expression in the film indicates that she wants none of it. In her words that she will make a choice, we can see that she has her thought. The exhaustion of the world leads Juliet to disobey. When she sees Romeo, the feeling of escaping make the “love in first sight” possible.
All the techniques that mentioned are powerful and effective. I will be more likely to believe the “love in first sight” in the movie rather than the theme in the book.

In my opinion of Juliet, to achieve the “love in first sight,” she must have great curiosity besides her traits of young and innocent. For the costumes, she should dress childishly in general, but slightly more mature during the party. The color of the costumes should be light and always has pink as part of or most of the clothing. The makeup of the character should also be light and pink, which is more like children in the age of 13 without too much exposure to the sunlight. For the acting, the character should add some small movements to indicate the youth of Juliet such as jiggling and eyes rolling. To emphasize the curiosity, Juliet needs to open her eyes widely physically and act hyper most of the time. Her voice should also be lighter and better with a rising tone to show her childish and curiosity. For the relationship she has with other characters, she should constantly trying to interact with others, to show a desire of finding a playmate. Thus it makes more sense that she desire to interact with a person in her age. Corroborates with the new concept of marriage, Juliet can fall in love with Romeo in the first sight.
