It’s great to see you using your blog so enthusiastically, Eugene.
This scene description has a couple of areas for you to improve:
1) You have some of the events from the play and the film confused. While we’re watching the film and enjoying discussing the interpretations made by Baz Luhrmann,it’s very important that you keep clear about which actions are in the script and which are added in the film. An example of this is Romeo washing his face – there’s no reference to that in Shakespeare’s script. Remember you can access the script via the class site (the link is above) if you want to go back and check.
2) There are some spelling errors – particularly in the names of characters, like “Montague”. It would be a good target to get the character names correct as this will increase the reader’s confidence in your analysis.
Keep up the good work!
