TEOGROMITMM vs. The Capulets!

Please note: This is not a real fight. There will be no injuries, and we will not be going to a boxing ring, or anything of the sort. Understand? Thank you for your consideration.

AH! Its like surprise homework. Just went back over my homework sheet and found this blog post! Sorry for the lateness.

Okay, so the Capulets and the Hunsdorfers are pretty close in comparison in some ways. Juliet is practically a match for Tillie (obviously with just different interests in mind...). Juliet wants to see Romeo, while in Tillie's case she wants to learn more about the atom. Both their parents are against what each respective child wants to do. Capulet won't allow Juliet to see Romeo and Beatrice won't let Tillie go to school.
Ruth is a hard one to put up to. I guess she could be a Tybalt, because they both are the trouble making sort.
This also is a different one, but I'm matching Mr. Goodman to Frair Lawrence. Both are kind of the helpers behind the scenes you could say. The goal is to support either Juliet or Tillie.
For Contrasting, I could put the goals of the girls (love for Juliet, knowledge for Tillie), and I guess the kind of "cruelty" dished out. Both adults also treat/take care of/handle, their children differently. (And the love balance for their children definatly shows.)

  1. I like your point on the resemblance between Mr. Goodman and Friar Lawrence
