The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-In-the-Moon Marigolds Act 2


The Capulet family in Romeo and Juliet and Tillie's family are quite different, once rather modern and one very old fashioned, yet similar in some aspects.

Tillie reminds me a bit of Juliet. Both of them seem to have families that are troubled, emotionally or just have trouble following them, and both have mothers that don't seem to listen. Juliet's mother desperately wants Juliet to marry, but Juliet never said she wanted to. Tillie's mom, Beatrice, also doesn't seem to listen to Tillie. She's to focused on complaining how life is terrible and how much she wants a shop, and never once listens to what Tillie has to say.
   
The biggest thing they have in common is the fact that they are loyal and stick to their families no matter how crazy or unreasonable they are being. Tillie still loves her mom and sister although they argue all the time and do outrageous things, and Juliet still mourns the death of her cousin Tybalt even though she knew he wasn't always right.

These families both have their differences, like how the Capulet has a strong Father/King role and Tillie's mom doesn't, but overall both of them have similarities and differences that make them unique and memorable families.
