Yes, Lemuel?
Ma’am, our discussion was about the story of the
Prodigal Son.
Alright, thank you Lemuel that is correct. We have
discussed the story or the parable, ‘The Prodigal Son’.
April, kindly give me your takeaways from the last
lesson.

loves and celebrates us.

Possible answers:
THE POWER OF LOVE
 At its core, Shakespeare’s famous tragedy is a story
about the all-consuming power of love. There are
several love themes in the play, but the strongest is
how powerful love can be.
POWER OF HATRED
 Nothing is more powerful than love in Romeo and
Juliet - except, at times the power of hate. The

source of this hatred is never revealed to the reader,
but it’s strong enough to attach each name to bitter
resentment.
FAMILY AND OBLIGATION
 Many of the tragic events in Romeo and Juliet come
from the character’s desire to serve their families.
When Romeo and Juliet meet, the knowledge that
they are in opposing families is enough to threaten
the future of their relationship.

Yes ma’am.

Ma’am she is the first love of Romeo.

Thank you. So, the first two characters are the parents
of our main character, Juliet. Tybalt is her cousin. The Ma’am she is the main character of the story and is the
nurse is the one who helps Juliet and of course,
Rosaline, the supposed apple of the eye of Romeo in
the beginning of the story. Let us now move on to the
next set of characters. Racqueline, kindly read. Ruling House of Verona

Thank you. The first two characters are the parents of

Romeo, who is one of the main characters of the story.
Included in the house is Benvolio who is his cousin and
best friend. Let us now move on to the last set of
characters. Kindly read, Mae Aiza.

Other Characters

Okay thank you. So, to better understand the story, I will (Students will watch and listen attentively.)
let you watch an eight-minute summary of the story
which highlights the most important points of the play. Answers may vary.
(The teacher will play a video)

Did you understand the flow of the story?

Let us now move on to the themes of the literary piece.

Aira, kindly read the first one.
Ma’am I think, the fact that even though both of their
families do not want them to be together they still fought
for their love literally until their last breath.

Response may vary.

Thank you, Aira. How did the drama portray or showed
the power of love, Angeline?

Very good. Another answer?

We first see the depths of the power of love when

Romeo laments being out of favor of Rosaline. His love
and his heartbreak at her disaffection. The only force
strong enough to break him off this spell is his new
found love for Juliet. The decisions they make is in
service of their love for each other. Making the literary
theme od love responsible for both the happiness and
the tragedy in the play.
Ma’am, I think it is observable with the fact that both the

involved in fights and not permit their son and daughter
to be together.

Response may vary.

Alright, thank you. So, in the drama Romeo and Juliet, in
what part can we notice or feel the power of hatred.
Gerlie.

Very good, another idea?

In the play, the pair spend their time pursuing their love
for each other and avoiding the hatred between their
families. But ultimately, that hatred, combined with
Romeo and Juliet’s love leads to their untimely deaths. Response may vary.
On the last part, both the families are forced to love
each other due to the wretchedness of their hatred. Juliet’s loyalty to her family tests her love for Romeo.
She was torn between her obligation as the daughter of

Can anybody give an example of how the theme Family
and Obligation is manifested in the story?

Give one example or situation, Richelle Ann.

Romeo and Juliet are among the youngest characters in

the play, and they act with the impulsivity of youth, which
leads to folly. They are not the only characters to do so,

loss of her cousin that she lashed out at Romeo. For a
moment she was grounded on her obligation to her
family, rather than with Romeo. But she came to her
senses and again chooses Romeo over her grief for
Tybalt.

Now, let us move to the next and last theme which is the Ma’am one of the manifestations of folly of the youth is
‘Folly of Youth’. Joanna, kindly read. the rush marriage of Romeo and Juliet, despite their
young age and the feud between their families. They tied
the knot without looking at it as something big or as an
obligation.

Folly means lack of good sense or normal ability to

govern and discipline oneself. How was the folly of the
youth manifested in the story, Leoner?

Ma’am characters are those who performs the dialogues

and the ones which the actors portray.

Very good. Another one is when Romeo is overtaken by

revenge for his friend and kills Tybalt. Others are Response may vary.
Romeo’s tears and misery over being banished, like
Juliet’s hysterics over the possibility of marrying Paris,
contrast sharply with the political minded adults in the
room. Their youthful emotions carry them through love,
marriage, and ultimately, their demise.

Since we are done with the discussion, do you have any

questions/clarifications?
 3. Abstraction
Again, based on the discussion, who is the author of the
drama “Romeo and Juliet”?
Ma’am the author of the story is William Shakespeare.
Who are the characters of the story? Give me one,
