Because this scene of Act II displays the humor of the
Nurse who teases and almost tortures the eager and anxious Juliet, it may be evocative
of circumstances in the lives of the eighth-graders. For instance, they may have been
tortured by an older sibling, especially a brother, as they have awaited news of
something for which they have been waiting. Perhaps, then, a question can be posed that
asks for an analogy on the part of the students between a relative of theirs and the
Nurse. That is, a question can be posed that inquires if the students have ever had a
relative or friend who has withheld information from them just to tease them. Then, the
student can draw comparisons and contrasts between the Nurse and his/her relative's way
of prolonging the answers, saying things that are irrelevant, and then finally revealing
the answer that has been asked for much earlier. Finally, an examination of the reason
for asking a question in this manner may be discussed.
