The Capulet's and friends

Lady Capulet:

     Lady Capulet resembles a raspberry muffin. She wants the best for her daughter but in some ways is ineffectual because she subconsciously is putting her daughter through the same pain she went through at her age with having to marry an older man. A raspberry muffin tastes good and may have healthy raspberries in it but on the other hand it can’t produce the amount of health that other things can. And if you’re not aware of how much your eating you will end up experiencing the consequences of becoming fat. Lady Capulet is young and fresh compared to her husband Capulet who is old and ugly, and raspberry muffins have a yummy fresh look to them. A raspberry muffin is sweet but has a somewhat bitter texture as does lady Capulet in the way that she is sweet but has a bitter tone in her personality.

Juliet:

     Juliet is like a vanilla cupcake with beautiful vanilla icing. She comes from a wealthy family, she is extremely pretty, and she is a romantic. A vanilla cupcake is very rich in flavor and fluffy. Juliet is light and fluffy as well because she is joyful especially when she falls in love, making her a romantic. A cupcake is a romantic because it is a dessert, and it's icing is very smooth and creamy. Often people relate love to being the best dessert in the world. For example in Act 2 Scene 2 Juliet expresses her love to Romeo, by saying,

“But to be frank, and give it thee again.

And yet I wish but for the thing I have.
My bounty is as boundless as the sea,
My love as deep. The more I give to thee,

The more I have, for both are infinite.”(line 131-135)

Juliet is very beautiful and it is this that catches Romeo's attention, when he walked into the party. When you go to buy a cupcake you are looking at how it looks and how it is presented. It is after you admire its beauty and bite into it until you realize how amazing and happy it makes you feel. Juliet is also very petite and in good shape. The cupcake is small and is decorated beautifully giving it a youthful majestic exterior.

Nurse
    

      Juliet’s nurse is very much like a lime meringue pie. She is a larger lady with a big personality as well. She is very affectionate, blunt but sweet, caring, and over the top bubbly. Which in many ways is quite similar to a lime meringue pie, it has a very large over the top amount of white fluffy textured meringue, which is very exotic and interesting but kind of bitter. Then under all of that there is this sour but sweet filling that once you get there makes you happy and full of joy, the transition between the two layers is very blunt but pleasant. Once you get through the nurses mushy affectionate and funny surface you reach her blunt and sensible reasoning. She is very vulgar and rude but she has a comedic approach to life. She has Juliet’s best interest at heart and is very caring, she does her best to help with Juliet’s problems and needs but some times she can get lost in the situation and advise Juliet to make the sensible decision and not the right one. For example when the Nurse tells Juliet that she should marry Paris, in Act 3 Scene 5 this is what she says

Faith, here it is.
“Romeo is banishèd, and all the world to nothing
That he dares ne'er come back to challenge you.
Or, if he do, it needs must be by stealth.
Then, since the case so stands as now it doth,
I think it best you married with the county.
Oh, he’s a lovely gentleman.
Romeo’s a dishclout to him. An eagle, madam,
Hath not so green, so quick, so fair an eye
As Paris hath. Beshrew my very heart,
I think you are happy in this second match,
For it excels your first. Or if it did not,
Your first is dead, or ’twere as good he were,
As living here and you no use of him.”

A lime meringue pie has many different textures and flavors and each bite you take seems to have a different feel to it. From looking at it you would think that it is all sweet and fluffy like a cloud but once you get through all the layers you start to realize that its not all great and it tastes different than you thought it would taste.

Tybalt:

     Tybalt is like a Twinkie. He isn't very good for you and not very many people like him. The only people that like Tybalt are the Capulets. Tybalt like a twinkie can look appetizing or he can look like a greasy deep fried so called nasty dessert, if you know what hes really made of. Tybalt is a mean character and he hates everything to do with health. For example when when Romeo comes to the Capulet party this is how Tybalt reacts, in Act 1 Scene 5 “ This, by his voice, should be a Montague. Fetch me my rapier, boy. What, dares the slave. Come hither, covered with an antic face, To fleer and scorn at our solemnity? Now, by the stock and honor of my kin, To strike him dead I hold it not a sin.”(line 54-59) Even one glance at Romeo, Tybalt wants to kill him. Tybalt has no mercy exactly like a Twinkie towards your body.

Paris:

     Paris is like a big lemon cupcake. He is not a bid character but he causes some of the actions that Romeo and Juliet do even if it is unintentional. Paris is old, wealthy, and a nice guy. The lemon cupcake represents him because although the lemon icing is tart and not that sweet, once you get over that fact you realize that there is a whole bottom part to the cupcake. That is caring and satisfying. Paris does not seem kind at first but at the end of the play you realize that he is in love with Juliet and he is not that bad of a guy.
