Why are we fascinated bythe UNKNOWN?

Have you ever skimmed the strange headlines of a tabloidnewspaper when standing in line at the supermarket? Do youchannel-surf for television shows about strange phenomena? Ourfascination with weird or unexplained events makes us part of along tradition of writers and readers who enjoy speculating on theunknown or the unexplainable. The writers of the two poems youare about to read relied on that universal fascination when theyintroduced us to two strange, and perhaps imaginary, visitors.

With a partner, list 3 events from a movie, television show,or urban legend that you find fascinating or unbelievable.

plot,conflict, character, and setting that combine to create astory.• Because of the nature of poetry, these elements areoften condensed into images and compact descriptions.• For example, notice that this line contains information

The Raven In Western culture, the raven has a symbolic association with evil omens, mystery, and death. Poe initially considered using aparrot or an owl in the poem, but he chose the raven instead because of the bird’s culturalassociations. In addition, the raven seemed a more suitable choice for the dark and melancholymood of the poem.

Original Text

CHORUS Now old desire doth in his deathbed lie,And young affection gapes to be his heir.That fair for which love groaned for and would dieWith tender Juliet matched, is now not fair.Now Romeo is beloved and loves again,Alike bewitchèd by the charm of looks,But to his foe supposed he must complain,And she steal love’s sweet bait from fearful hooks.Being held a foe, he may not have accessTo breathe such vows as lovers use to swear.And she as much in love, her means much lessTo meet her new beloved anywhere.But passion lends them power, time means, to meet,Tempering extremities with extreme sweet.

Modern Text

CHORUS Now Romeo’s old feelings of desire are dying, and a new desire is eager to take their place. Romeo groaned for the beautiful Rosaline and said he would die for her, but compared with tender Juliet, Rosaline doesn’t seem beautiful now. Now someone loves Romeo, and he’s in love again—both of them falling for each others' good looks. But he has to make his speeches of love to a woman who’s supposed to be his enemy. And she’s been hooked by someone she should fear. Because he’s an enemy, Romeo has no chance to see Juliet and say the things a lover normally says. And Juliet’s just as much in love as he, but she has even less opportunity to meet her lover. But love gives them power, and time gives them the chance to meet, sweetening the extreme danger with intense pleasure.

And she steals love’s sweet bait from fearful hooks.’ Discuss the effectiveness of this metaphor. Juliet is compared to a fish and Romeo to the ‘sweet bait’ on a hook. Just as a fish risks being caught and killed, so is the relationship that she is forming with Romeo a dangerous one. She wants him desperately but there is a huge risk involved because of the deep hatred between the families, not to mention the fact that the Prince has warned both families that any further disturbance of the peace would result with those involved ‘lives [paying the] forfeit’.

1. What young affection does the prologue of Act 2 refer to? Romeo and Juliet's new love for each other.

2. Why must Romeo and Juliet must "steal" their love? They cannot reveal it to either family.

3. Why is Romeo no longer interested in Rosaline in Act 2? He is now in love with Juliet.

4. According to the Prologue of Act 2, what lends the couple power? Passion.

5. The prologue of Act 2 reveals that despite difficulty, __________________. The lovers will still have a chance to meet and be together.
