1) how would the story of Romeo and Juliet differ from its original storyline if it was written today

2) what other tragic elements, besides the deaths of the protagonists, are present in the play?

[Hannah Love Jennison @JennisonLove]

@TaylorH79205875 1. Clay’s name is symbolic of a changing man. Clay can be molded into whatever you want, and clay is still being molded into the person he wants to be
2. Lula symbolizes white privilege and power

@Lindsey58046253 1. The way Lula speaks is a representation of white privilege. She wouldn’t be able to say the things she does without being white.
2. Baraka is trying to show the differences between what white and black people go through. It is a representation of the harm of white privilege.

@dean_mlaka 2. From the beginning, Desdemona doesn’t believe that she deserves that name. Having this name gives Desdemona something to overcome and prove who she really is.

@JTemborius 1. A mother’s relationship with her child is something that hugely effects the way that child turns out to be. By learning about Othello and Desdemona’s mothers, we get a peek into how they were brought up and why they are who they are

@AnnaRunnfeldt 2. “Men make the rules: women follow them” is just another way for women to be put down by men. In this time period, women were inferior to men and were forced to do whatever they wished.

@TaylorH79205875 1. Desdemona in Othello is just othello’s wife, but in Desdemona her character is expanded and we learn more about who she is and why she does what she does.

@allison_polnau The poetic style of this play sets it apart from others. To hear women recite their stories in a poetic form makes their stories stick with you.

@swett_pants114 The characters in this play are struggling and looking for answers. Sometimes when we speak aloud of write things down, it is easier to understand ourselves.

@Stay_Frostie 2. By using the voices of multiple women, Shange is able to represent all women. Women can find a way to relate to at least one of the women in the story.

@TaylorH79205875 2. All the ladies have different stories, but the lady in brown is special bc she specially represents black women and their struggles

@macalanda_ryan Seemingly so different. In reality, this could all be rectified with a bit of compromise.

@macalanda_ryan By writing a rap musical about our history, Miranda was able to combine something modern, rap and R&B, with something old, our history. In our current political climate, it seems as though it is also impossible for Democrats and Republicans to coexist because their views are

@AnaMira62006174 Mold all stories into one. By writing a musical about the founding of our country, Miranda was able to put a new and fun twist on learning about our history.

[Hannah Love Jennison @JennisonLove]

@AnaMira62006174 By casting POC in the roles of America’s founding fathers, Miranda is able to represent all people who were present during that time period. POC were very much a part of the founding of the US, but sometimes it seems as if their stories aren’t as “important.” Miranda was able to

@CharlieMollahan Burr’s fatal flaw, like Hamilton’s, is his pride. He has such set goals that he wants to achieve in his political life that he puts these goals above not only the good of the country, but the good of himself.

[Hannah Love Jennison @JennisonLove]

@CharlieMollahan I believe that in the show, Hamilton and Washington have similar ideals regarding the next America. They both wanted an independent nation where people could be free from Britain’s tyranny.

[Hannah Love Jennison @JennisonLove]

@colbyyoffutt The casting of the musical reflected Hamilton’s views on slavery. By casting people of different ethnicities to play our white founding fathers, Miranda was able to change the narrative of our history to portray a more accurate representation of the people who were present.
