Translation of the fight scene: The Capulets are exhibiting the "bored noble behavior" that was mentioned when we discussed dueling. They wanted to start a fight because
they could
"Bite my thumb"- flipping someone off
• Discussion as to who is better: Montague's vs. Capulets- "I serve as good of a man as you" "yes better"
•Create a modern version of the fight scene that you just read. Not rewriting this scene in modern English, but creating your own modern
"dueling" scene.
Set the scene- What's the conflict that you're fighting over?
Did someone insult you? Cheat on you? Falsely accuse you of something?
-For Capulet's and Montague's it's their honor being in question.
•Create characters, dialogue, and through the dialogue explain the conflict.
