    i know i know, i deserve to fail if i do but i don't want to fail so yea. Please help,
    the task is to
    1. identify your character and their role in the play
    2. make reference to the character's discourses
    3. Introduce your monologue: where does it occur in the play?
    What has happened to this point?
    4. Present your monologue in contemporary language
    5. Discuss what occurs in the play after your monologue
    6. Explain why your monologue is significant, ensuring that you include reference to character's discourses

    it's an oral presentation for around 5minutes
    I've chosen to be Benvolio from Act 3 Scene 1
    he says:
    Tybalt here slain, whom Romeo’s hand did slay.
    Romeo, that spoke him fair, bade him bethink
    How nice the quarrel was and urged withal
    Your high displeasure. All this uttered
    With gentle breath, calm look, knees humbly bowed,
    Could not take truce with the unruly spleen
    Of Tybalt deaf to peace, but that he tilts
    With piercing steel at bold Mercutio’s breast,
    Who, all as hot, turns deadly point to point,
    And, with a martial scorn, with one hand beats
    Cold death aside and with the other sends
    It back to Tybalt, whose dexterity,
    Retorts it. Romeo, he cries aloud,
    “Hold, friends! Friends, part!” and, swifter than his tongue,
    His agile arm beats down their fatal points,
    And ’twixt them rushes—underneath whose arm
    An envious thrust from Tybalt hit the life
    Of stout Mercutio, and then Tybalt fled.But by and by comes back to Romeo,
    Who had but newly entertained revenge,
    And to ’t they go like lightning, for ere I
    Could draw to part them was stout Tybalt slain.
    And, as he fell, did Romeo turn and fly.
    This is the truth, or let Benvolio die.

    Please help or i will be utterly screwed, all help would be muchly appreciated ;D

    Never knew Benvolio's scene was related to technical help. And you know, if you aren't even going to try, than yes. Yes, you do deserve to fail. Just try and give it your very best.
