Quickwrite: Reflection on the Soliloquy
The soliloquy we are supposed to memorize and perform is from the balcony scene of Romeo and Juliet, a play written by William Shakespeare. So first I say what went wrong so that this blog post would end on a high note, or at least a happier note. So in the first week since Mr.Dahl first assigned the work, I was reading the wrong passage, the part where it started with "wherefore art thou Romeo?" I was told that's the right passage. I also thought it was that part I was suppose to memorize since I think it's the most important part and it also ends directly after the Romeo passage. However, I am sorry I wasn't paying full attention that I didn't acknowledge the part I was suppose to memorize as Juliet. So in the end, I wasn't really sure about the passage and I had to keep look down at the paper. Also, I was not so nervous before, however, the moment I got up stage, my heart starts beating fast. I'm pretty sure it's not the Romeo that made me so nervous, a Romeo is too cheesy for me to get my heart pumping so fast. I was just scared about it, I'm not a good actress on stage I guess. In the end, I was able to pull off a few lines loud and proud, but over all I think it's not great. but it's not bad. Though there were really those few lines that were so corny it still made me laugh on stage. "Dost thou love me??" > 3<
