I’m in David Wang’s group for our reproduction program.  In our group, I will play Juliet in the scene. Because we are almost doing the whole story in our version, Juliet’s emotion changes as the storyline go. When Juliet is in love with Romeo, she is always excited and amused by her dear love. She wants to be with Romeo wherever he goes. When Juliet decided to call Lord Capulet to say that she wants to go back with Romeo, she was afraid of her father. She was also very brave at the moment because of the support she feels for her lover towards Romeo. After Lord Capulet tells Juliet that she cannot go back with Romeo until she gets a PhD, Juliet was so hopeless. Towards the end of the story, Juliet becomes very extreme so that she even shot on campus so that she can get banished and go back to the country to be with Romeo. These scenes are very important to the character of Juliet because these scenes show how much she loves Romeo and what are the things that led her to be rampage. These scenes are also very important to Juliet because these scenes contain all the main events that happen and carries the story of Romeo and Juliet.  However, we have to do these scenes in a short amount of time. We might not be able to fully play out all the details that we want the audience to see. Also, in this version, Romeo and Juliet fall in love fast and dramatically. To make the audience feel more accepting of that setting, I have to exaggerate my emotions and make the scenes goes more smoothly. I’m still thinking of lines and expressions that I can use to help the audience to fully understand our storyline, the conflicts, and the turning points.
