I chose this picture because I think that Romeo and his friends are bullying Nurse. They would not treat any other woman like that. They treated Nurse very badly and hopefully they will never do that again.

I'd like to see you take your responses to the next level, Josh. You said you see them treat her badly, but how? Why? Why do you think they WOULDN'T treat other women that way. There are some inaccuracies, too, because Benvolio and Mercutio do not know that Romeo has been involved with Juliet, nor do they know that Nurse is a Capulet. Be careful with that! Also, do you think you could give your blog posts a creative title? I'll be looking for it on your next one!
