    SEQUENCE : ROMEO AND JULIET, A SHAKESPEARIAN TRAGEDY

    EXTRACT FROM THE BALCONY SCENE


    Read this extract from the Balcony Scene. Re-write the scene by changing the words in bold letters
    so that they would correspond to another obstacle to the romance between two young lovers.
    The obstacle that may interfere with Romeo and Juliet's love is ..
    JULIET : Ay me !
    (ROMEO : She speaks.
    O speak again, bright angel, for thou art
    As glorious to this night, being o'er my head,
    As is a winged messenger of heaven
    Unto the white-upturned wondering eyes
    Of mortals that fall back to gaze on him
    When he bestrides the lazy-passing clouds
    And sails upon the bosom of the air.)
    JULIET : O Romeo, Romeo ! Wherefore art thou Romeo ?
    Deny thy father and refuse thy name :
    Or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,
    and I'll no longer be a Capulet.
    (ROMEO : Shall I hear more, or shall I speak at this ?)
    JULIET : 'Tis but thy name that is my enemy.
    Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.
    O, be some other name ! What's a Montague ?
    It is nor hand, nor foot, nor arm, nor face,
    Nor any other part belonging to a man.
    What's in a name ? That which we call a rose
    By any other name would smell as sweet.
    So Romeo would, were he not Romeo called,
    Retain that dear perfection which he owes,
    Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name ;
    And for thy name, which is no part of thee,
    Take all myself.
    ROMEO : I take thee at thy word.
    Call me but love, and I'll be new baptized ;
    Henceforth I never will be Romeo.
    JULIET : What man art thou that, thus bescreened in night,
    So stumblest on my counsel ?
    ROMEO : By a name
    I know not how to tell thee who I am.
    My name, dear saint, is hateful to myself
    Because it is an enemy to thee.
    Had I it written, I would tear the word.
