Before I get going on the final assignment itself, I have a few things to say about the book. I really enjoyed this play, and the mix of characters they put into it. Especially how they interacted with each other. There is more to say, but that is for another post.
After I finished reading the play, I had no idea how to compare this unruly family to the stricter family of the Capulets. In any way the families interacted, they were almost polar opposites. I had to re-read and look deeper to find any similarities, no matter how few there actually were.
One similarity is how the family of TEOGROMITMM had disallowed Tillie to enter the science fair, just as the Capulets had disallowed Juliet to see Romeo. They are also similar in how they both eventually relented. Also, most of the interaction in both families was mother-daughter. (Minor, I know.)
Lastly, the families both have rooted ideals in which the mothers were refusing to budge on. But in the end, the daughters broke through, and "good" prevailed.
Great observations, Justin!
