Romeo and Juliet (So Far)

         The whole class has the read the part when Mercutio talks about Queen Mab. Mercutio talks about Queen Mab in a very elaborated way. He also describes how small she is. The way he explains Queen Mab is very long. It's almost like a speech. His speech has all the details of Queen Mab so that you can draw her. He also describes her as the Queen of love.
         I can tell that Romeo is very sad because he knows that Rosaline doesn't love him, but he loves her very much. He is most likely heartbroken. He mostly expresses his sadness in words, like the part when he says, "O loving hate", and "O heavy lightness". He won't be like this until he meets Juliet, who will be is next love.
         Romeo and Juliet is good so far. Some parts I don't understand because of the Shakespearean language. I don't understand I'm. Why couldn't he just do the whole play in modern English so that it would have been more easier to understand everything than getting the Shakespearean dictionary.
