Notes

This can be a turning point of the story.  When everything goes well, the death suddenly turns the story to misery.  It is so dramatic and shocking.  In Shakespear's writing, there are so many unbelievable scenes describing the death and sorrow, and the sorrow always caused by the person who has a bad temper, such as Mercutio, Tybalt, and Romeo in Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet in Hamlet.  It makes me think of the temper.  Is modesty really important?  I think the answer is yes.  Actually, I love to be friend with the people who have patience.  The people who have impatience does not mean they are nor good people, but when they live together, they always get into fights.  My parents are a good example, and I have abundant experiences about it.  I remember the worst argument they had is that they wanted to get a divorce after slamming the doors, broking bowls and chairs.  The sound of everything they made is loud, harsh, and it made me frightening.  Therefore, I decide to be a mild person and decide to marry a person who will never shout to me.
