Sonnet Form in Dialogue

Read the lines below, which form a type of contest of wit between Romeo and Juliet in their first meeting. Then read the information on the background of the sonnet and follow the directions for analysis.

Romeo: If I profane with my unworthiest hand. This holy shrine, the gentle sin in this. My lips two blushing pilgrims ready stand To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.

Juliet: Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much.Which mannerly devotion shows in this:For saints have hands that pilgrims’ hands do touch. And palm to palm is holy palmers’ kiss.

Romeo: Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too? Juliet: Aye, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer. Romeo: O, then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do.

They pray: grant thou, lest faith turn to despair. Juliet: Saints do not move, though grant for prayers’ sake. Romeo: Then move not while my prayers’ effect I take.

The sonnet as a form developed in Italy in the thirteenth century. Because Shakespeare achieved greatest fame with the English sonnet, his name became attached (the Shakespearean sonnet). The Shakespearean form consists of four stanzas: three sets of four lines each (called quatrains) and a pair of rhyming lines (called a couplet) with a usual rhyme scheme of abab cdcd efef gg.Meter for both sonnet forms is usually iambic pentameter which consists of five metrical feet with each foot having an unstressed, stressed pattern.

Analysis1.) Mark the rhyme scheme with letters at the end of each line. 2.) Grammatically divide the poem into sections. 3.) Scan several lines of poetry to determine the meter. Mark the iambs. 4.) Underline all the words which relate to the metaphor of the “pilgrim approaching the shrine.”

Mask Assignment

7

In Scene 4 of Romeo and Juliet, we find out that Romeo and his friends are about to go to the Capulet party. As we know, they are Montagues and should not be attending this feast. Therefore, they put on masks so that they fit in with everyone else AND to disguise their identity.

For this assignment, you are to decorate a mask that represents one of the characters listed below. Make a mask that shows what you know about a character and his/her personality so far. Only 3 Juliet’s and 3 Romeo’s will be allowed. First come first served!Character Choice:- Benvolio - Lady Capulet- Tybalt - Romeo- Nurse - Mercutio- Juliet - Prince- Paris - Lord Capulet

Mask Requirements: The entire mask must be covered. There is

not to be any “white” areas left when you turn it in. Consider what each color may “mean.”

Your mask must contain artwork (aka drawings) or magazine cut outs that depict your character’s personality. Think symbolically!

Your mask must include 1 quote from the play (Act 1, Scenes 1-4) that symbolizes the character you have chosen and the mask you have made.

This will be counted as a daily grade. The grade will be based on how well you represent your character and the quality of your work (so make sure to follow the requirements).

Mask Rubric

The entire mask is covered. No blank spaces. ______/10 At least 3 symbolic items on mask to represent character ______/15 1 quote from I.1-4 that symbolizes the character ______/15 Quality and Neatness of work ______/10

Total _____/50

8

Please note: Some of the characters listed are going to be much harder to do than others. Before deciding who you are going to represent on your mask, you will need to make sure you know enough about that character to do an adequate job. Think outside of the box!

"Daylight"

Here I am waitingI'll have to leave soonWhy am I holding on?

We knew this day would comeWe knew it all along

How did it come so fast?

This is our last night but it's lateAnd I'm trying not to sleep

Cause I know, when I wake, I will have to slip awayAnd when the daylight comes I'll have to go

But tonight I'm gonna hold you so closeCause in the daylight we'll be on our own

But tonight I need to hold you so close

Oh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh-whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ohOh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh-whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Here I am staring at your perfectionIn my arms, so beautiful

The sky is getting bright, the stars are burning outSomebody slow it down

This is way too hard, cause I knowWhen the sun comes up, I will leave

This is my last glance that will soon be memory

And when the daylight comes I'll have to goBut tonight I'm gonna hold you so close

Cause in the daylight we'll be on our ownBut tonight I need to hold you so close

Oh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh-whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ohOh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh-whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

I never want it to stopBecause I don't wanna start all over

Start all overI was afraid of the dark

But now it's all that I wantAll that I want, all that I want

16

And when the daylight comes I'll have to goBut tonight I'm gonna hold you so close

Cause in the daylight we'll be on our ownBut tonight I need to hold you so close

And when the daylight comes I'll have to goBut tonight I'm gonna hold you so close

Cause in the daylight we'll be on our ownBut tonight I need to hold you so close
