As she stared at the stage, izzy's mind returned to dress rehearsal,
where she had performed as if the school amphitheater was
already filled with a captivated audience. she had read out her
lines:
good father, i beseech you on my knees
hear me with patience but to speak a word.
what connection exists between izzy's feelings in the passage and
her first quotation from shakespeare's romeo and juliet?
just like juliet, izzy is in a doomed and fatal love
affair
just like juliet, izzy is overly protected by both her
parents
just like juliet, izzy is just about ready to debut into
society
just like juliet, izzy's goals are at odds with her
parents' plans
