Reading Journal

I'm not really sure if we needed to do a reading journal this week, but I guess I'll do one just in case. I've been running out of books to read xP, but right now I am reading The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. I usually read these kind of books, but I decided to give it a try. :) I actually just started it a couple days ago and I'm not really that far into the book. The quote I chose for this week is (spoken by Benvolio):
"Madam, an hour before the worshiped sun
Peered forth the golden window of the east,
A troubled mind (drove) me to walk abroad,
Where underneath the grove of a sycamore
That westward rooteth from this city side,
So early walking did I see your son.
Towards him I made, but he was 'ware of me
And stole into the covert of the wood."
So, this was a pretty long quote, but I have only one question for it: Why was Romeo trying to hide from Benvolio? And my comment is: When I read this, at first I was like "What in the world are they saying?" I had to read it like 3 times and use the text guide to understand what he was saying. heheh... Well, at least now I know what they're talking about. Just need a while to get used to it :D Well, that's it. I think I want to read more.... :P ttyl!
