Be careful to provide textual evidence where needed.Act I, scene 1 – So far … servants from the house of Montague and Capulet exchange insults and start a fight in the town square. The Prince shows up – clearly angry about the exchange – and tells them to stop. He passes a law saying that anyone caught fighting again will be sentenced to death. As people depart from the fight, Lord Montague and Benvolio, Romeo’s cousin, start talking.Lord Montague and Benvolio comment that Romeo has been acting strangely lately. Benvolio says his cousin seems to be avoiding him, and Lord Montague says the boy holes himself up in his dark room and mopes about.Romeo suddenly appears and Benvolio tries to find out what is wrong with his cousin. Turns out Romeo is in love with a girl who doesn’t love him back. Benvolio tells Romeo to forget about her by checking out other girls.Act I, scene 2 – The scene opens with Paris asking Lord Capulet for Juliet’s hand in marriage. Lord Capulet says she is far too young – not even fourteen yet – and that Paris should wait a couple years and try to win her over. We find out the Capulets are having a masquerade ball that night, and Lord Capulet sends his servant out with invites to pass out.Turns out the servant can’t read. He runs into Benvolio and Romeo and asks for help reading names. On the list is Capulet’s niece Rosaline – the girl Romeo is in love with!! Benvolio suggests they crash the party, so he can show Romeo girls that are more beautiful compared to Rosaline. Romeo wants to go to the party to see his beautiful Rosaline.Act I, scene 3 – Lady Capulet approaches Juliet about getting married. Juliet tells her mother that she isn’t interested in marriage. Her mom tells Juliet about her suitor (Paris – the guy from scene 2) and asks her to check him out at the feast later that night. Juliet agrees to take a look.Act I, scene 4 – Romeo and his friends are heading to the Capulet feast. Romeo’s friends give him a hard time over being so lovesick.
