school help: I’m doing an English assignment where I have to act out a scene of Romeo and Juliet. - Help.com

It must be Romeo and Juliet, due to the fact we are studying it for English.
We did Julius Caesar last year, it was kind of easier.
and btw im a guy and you can’t play the opposite gendre. One of the teacher’s rules.

I happened to chose the scene by Friar Laurence, the monologue that starts at the beginning of the scene. Act 2 Scene 3.

Act 2, Scene 3

SCENE III. Friar Laurence’s cell.

Enter FRIAR LAURENCE, with a basket

FRIAR LAURENCE

The grey-eyed morn smiles on the frowning night,
Chequering the eastern clouds with streaks of light,
And flecked darkness like a drunkard reels
From forth day’s path and Titan’s fiery wheels:
Now, ere the sun advance his burning eye,
The day to cheer and night’s dank dew to dry,
I must up-fill this osier cage of ours
With baleful weeds and precious-juiced flowers.
O, mickle is the powerful grace that lies
In herbs, plants, stones, and their true qualities:
For nought so vile that on the earth doth live
But to the earth some special good doth give,
Nor aught so good but strain’d from that fair use
Revolts from true birth, stumbling on abuse:
Virtue itself turns vice, being misapplied;
And vice sometimes by action dignified.
Within the infant rind of this small flower
Poison hath residence and medicine power:
For this, being smelt, with that part cheers each part;
Being tasted, slays all senses with the heart.
Two such opposed kings encamp them still
In man as well as herbs, grace and rude will;
And where the worser is predominant,
Full soon the canker death eats up that plant.

Exeunt FRIAR LAURENCE

I modified it and cut lines, but this isn’t a great monologue/scene I don’t think. I need some input.

but i have to act it out, i can’t randomly stare at the floor or something and do the monologue, wouldnt that be a bit weird?
