Process Chart

Character	Grief quotes	Selfish quotes	Explanation/ideas
Juliet	No quote, however, she suffers as well for she wouldn’t have commited suicide if her parents would have actually listened to her.	Fake suicide is really selfish. Fake suicide only brings pain to others and is done to prove or gain something out of it which is usually for the individual's benefit. Juliet was selfish to not to think of the pain this would cause others. Instead, she only thought of her suffering.	Could do Savasana where I’m lying down to show two sides of her being dead Nurse while calling her sweetheart, love, darling just suddenly says lamb. This could be intentional for lamb in Christianity means represents Christ as both suffering and state of paradise. Juliet as well suffers but commits fake suicide to gain her state of paradise.
Nurse	“O  lamentable day,” “Most woeful day, that ever, ever, I did yet behold.”	“Oh Lord, Oh Lady” “Honest good fellows, ah, put up, put up, for, well you know, this is a pitiful case.”   The NURSE exits.	If my parents were to die I wouldn’t be able to move, speak, or eat but just mourn for days. However, Nurse went straight to doing her duties like setting up the funeral. In fact, she doesn’t come up after the first few lines for the next two scenes after. Could do balancing table pose because that looks like she is fulfilling her duties for the pose looks like it is asking for help. Legs can be stretched out because she’s kicking her grief and Juliet away.
Lady Capulet	“Accursed, unhappy, wretched, hateful day!”	“But one thing to rejoice and solace in, and cruel death had catch’d it from my sight.”	She is angry that her daughter is dead but she also is angry that her only joy was taken away from her. She says she doesn’t have a thing to rejoice in and so is upset. She shouldn’t be upset that her joy is gone but that her daughter is dead. Why does she not question Juliet’s cause of death? Do you not feel guilty that she died like this after fighting with you about not wanting to marry Paris? She could be in child’s pose for that looks like someone stole/took something out of their hands.
Lord Capulet	“Despised, distressed, hated, martyred, kill’d! Uncomfortable time, why camest thou now to murder, murder our solemnity?” “Death is my son in law, death is my heir; my daughter he hath wedded: I will die.”	“For shame, bring Juliet forth; her lord is come.”   “Death, that hath ta’en her hence to make me wail, ties up my tongue and will not let me speak.” “Alack, my child is dead,And with my child my joys are buried.”	Lord Capulet seems more concerned in pleasing his son in law then be happy for his daughter’s wedding or sad that he needs to let her go. He doesn’t wonder what sorrow and sadness made Juliet make such a decision but what the sorrow and sadness do to him. Just like lady Capulet, he seems to grieve the end of his joy, not his daughter which is very selfish. Maybe Warrior poses because he seems more mad and dominant about death than sad.
Paris	“O love! O life! Not life, but love in death.”	“Have I waited to see this morning for so long, only for it to look like this?”	He doesn’t mourn or comfort others but complains why he needs to face this in the morning of his wedding. I could do a partner pose that shows how he is greater than the other.
Friar	“The most you sought was her promotion, For ’twas your heaven she should be advanced. And weep ye now, seeing she is advanced. Oh, in this love, you love your child so ill. That you run mad, seeing that she is well.”		Friar claims they should be crying tears of joy not sadness for the best they could do for Juliet was give her a good marriage and their idea of heaven was to move up the social ladder. However, now that she is in heaven beyond expectations of what they had or could do for her they still weep. Friar says, “you love your child ill” for the reason they’re weeping even though she is well in heaven is that they aren’t mourning the loss of Juliet but their own pain they suffer because of Juliet’s death. Friar could be in Buddha pose for he is wise like Buddha and is able to identify these things but also calm them down.
Extra	“Wake up” and “Asleep” repeats a lot in the passage		Maybe it’s a hint for the characters need to wake up from their own selfish bubbles they’re asleep in.
