Notes On "Visit to a Small Planet"

A play is a world shown in front of audiences. It also has time and spaces, so an exclusive perspective may not understand through the whole play. To see the entire world, everyone should make this planet in a proper size in order to not lose any details. Time, climate, mood, space are several basic pieces of information about this planet, which is same as the real world. How do figures appear on this planet? How do figures dress on this planet? How do figures interact? By fighting? Reasoned discussion? Who has power on this planet? In what kinds of patterns do the figures on this planet arrange themselves?

Selecting the casts, all of us came up the similar characters from the story: Romeo, Juliet, Tybalt, Mercutio, Friar Lawrence, Nurse, Benvolio, Paris, Prince, Capulets. Two reasons follow that on the one hand, those characters have a big apportions of the story, on the other hand, those characters are having a relatively highlighted personalities. Both reasons cause people like to recall them after reading the story. However, some characters are disputed by most groups are Capulets. To be the parents of Juliet, we are always thinking about what are the representatives of their characteristics. At this point, different groups have the different opinions. Lady capulet in group 1 wears a necklace, in group 2 has a play dough, in group 3 wears a trenchcoat. I am interested about the idea of group 2 that she has a play dough. Play dough is a shapable clay, I think the meaning of play dough is revealing Lady Capulet becomes different people while facing with Juliet and Lord Capulet. When Jul...

Romeo is still banishing by the government, however, he learned Juliet had head and many people are ready in the tomb. Romeo wants to prove their love by using the poison that is bought from Apothecary and going to the tomb. His conversation with Apothecary is interesting, Romeo claims that he is using the gold to buy the poverty of Apothecary. This is really symbolizing that Romeo is the son of nobles. Obviously, Romeo is so ready for taking this drug to the tomb. " Come, cordial and not poison, go with me to Juliet's grave, for there must I use thee." actually reveals that Romeo feels scared about the future. Despite Friar Lawrence has sent the letter that explains everything to Romeo, the letter was not delivered by accident.

The character in R&J makes the biggest fault is Romeo. Firstly, Romeo hasn’t paid all attentions to Rosaline until he meets Juliet. Sneaking into the Mansion of Capulet is a big fault, moreover, he hooks up the Juliet even though he knows Juliet is the daughter of Capulet. Romeo’s decision is not responsible for his family because he is only following his feelings but not consider the result of it to be a Montague. “ Can I go forward when my heart is here? Turn back, dull earth, and find thy center out.” is the interval description of Romeo when he leaves the mansion, even if he has a hesitation, he still goes back to there. Obviously, between family and personal, Romeo chooses himself, he can’t refuse the attraction from the Juliet even though he knows this is wrong. Romeo withdraws and then go back to the mansion to meet with Juliet once again, it is not only trying to express to Juliet that I am not fooling you, but also saying goodbye to the responsibility to the both families....

Capulet has a discussion with Paris, their dialogue leads the direction of the behaviors of Paris. Since they learns Juliet has married with Romeo, the unexpected situation drives them organize the wedding of Paris and Juliet immediately. However, the wedding should have be hold in three days. This is a preparation for Romeo and Juliet to discuss the next step.

Scene 5 is about the Juliet's decision, she decides to meet Friar Lawrence. In usual, following the order of parents will be the safest plan. However, this is probably the first time that Juliet betrays her parents. Scene 5 is a foreshadowing to the end, how does Friar Lawrence teaches Juliet how to face the current situation is decidi...

In my perspective, Romeo was the person who really should be responsible for the death of Mercutio. Even though Mercutio started the fight with Tybalt, Romeo should not had offensive conversation with Tybalt. Tybalt came with anger about the love between Romeo and Juliet. Romeo wanted to clarify how did he and Juliet fell in love and reason why they fell in love. However, this angered Tybalt. Mercutio was being a person who stimulated the fire that nearly be put underneath the heart of Tybalt. “Good king of cats, nothing but one of your nine lives.” (Pg.108) had no sense, it was breaking the relatively peaceful atmosphere in the dialogue of Romeo and Tybalt. Romeo didn’t want to stop and intense relationship between mercutio and Tybalt, then he enhanced it. Eventually, Romeo propelled the fighting between them. As a friend, Romeo put his friend in the danger, he should be responsible for the death. If I were the director, I would make the stage as a normal street. Benvolio was laying...

As far as I concerned, Friar Lawrence is a peacemaker. One setting of him that he is a Godfather since he is the member in this town doesn't belong to any families, it is essential that any behaviors of him may change the direction of this story. However, there is a foreshadowing when the first time he appears, when Romeo comes to find him, he is inventing the poison from plants. Two terms, Godfather and poison make a contrast and a confliction between the characteristic of this character. In my perspective, Godfather is a peacemaker since he is attempting the use the peaceful way to end up the anger of both sides. On the one hand, Friar Lawrence wants to end the confliction between two families; On the other hand, Friar Lawrence doesn't want to use the poison to be the key to end it. "Now ere the sun advance his burning eye, The day to cheer and night's dank dew to dry, I must up-fill this osier cage of ours with baleful weeds and precious-juiced flowers." (pg....

Montagues and Capulets are the two important sides of this play. The stage would be a huge castle but is divided from the middle with a different style of the decoration. Capulet can be the one side that having traditional or conservative decoration, meanwhile, it can be the dark colors such as blue or brown, the reason of that is the lord, Capulet is a person who expects for peace. The costume of them can be tightened. In my perspective, that kind of style is suiting for him. The speaking style of Capulet members are arrogant, they never walk or act really exaggerated. The servants of Capulets will always be standing behind the leader. For the stage of Montague, I would like to assign them as a radical family. Montagues members like to do everything in an aggressive way. The color of their stage can be yellow or orange, the furniture of the house will not have too much, everything at there can be fully used by anyone. The costume of them can be fat or oversized. The speakin...
