This week we had to memorize a monologue from one of Shakespeare's drama. I chose a monologue from Romeo and Juliet. Juliet is talking to herself and doesn't know that Romeo is actually listening to her. She would have liked Romeo to belong to an other family than the Montague. She is wondering why this should happen to him, and is saying that a name really doesn't even mean anything. For that she uses comparison such as the rose, "which would smell just as sweet if we called it by any other name". She finally says that he could take all of her if he changes his name.
It was pretty easy to learn this monologue, because it is not very long and I chose it because there was not a lot of complicated words.
