Blog #8 due by midnight -- talk about what group you are in, what character you will play, what your character is thinking and feeling in the scene, what emotion you will try to portray, and why this scene is important to your character. (300 words)

I am in Aaron's group, his concept is based on an idea form a show called Westworld. I would be playing Juliet, an artificial intelligence game character. The scene that Aaron chose for us to perform was the two suicides between Romeo and Juliet, in order to do a good version of this scene I will really need to get into the mind of Juliet. In my opinion, Juliet is feeling relief that she can see Romeo and be free, but when he dies she is overwashed with anger, sadness, and mourning. It is important because Juliet is really alone at this point on the screen both mentally and physically. She feels like everyone has turned or left her, and Romeo was the only one that she had left. For this, I need to portray emotions of sadness and despair. Since I have lost the love of my life, and I am desperate to leave the world of the game I will want to make sure that I am completely distraught because Juliet is so traumatized seeing Romeo die that she needs to be with him no matter what. This scene is important to my character becue it shows the extremes that I will go to in order to be with my husband Romeo, also the extreme that I am willing to go to in order to get out of this game in the end. This scene is also important because it is not only the last big moment in the story, but it also is something that was unprecedented in Aaron's version, and the company who made the game has to deal with the ideas and consequences of this 'setback'. Finally, this scene is so important to Juliet, because it is her death scene, and it is when she really realizes everything and makes huge decisions by herself, which we don't really see her do without at least another person around or their aid in her decision making.
