Prompt C
Act 1 Scene 5— Capulet says to Tybalt, "You are a saucy boy. Is't so indeed? This trick may chance to scathe you. I know what. You must contrary me... You are a princox, go. Be quiet, or for shame, I'll make you quiet." Although Shakespearean language is commonly seen as unique and different, the key words "saucy" and "princox" used in this quote struck my interest. This quote uses these words to express Capulet's annoyance towards Tybalt's immaturity, as the two words depict Tybalt's rudeness and disrespect. Saucy translates to insolent, and princox translates to an insolent boy, or in other words, a "saucy" boy. The choice of words really intrigued me, which led me to analyze and better understand the situation, which shows how Shakespeare's writing effectively depicts situations, and invokes interest in readers.
I think that's it's interesting how you picked this specific quote. Why? Do you think that this is an accurate representation of the scene as a whole? Does it portray Capulet's feelings towards Tybalt?
