I hope you're all having a wonderful break. Don't forget to work on your project!
I promised you some essay prompts if you don't want to do a project. If you are doing a project, you do not have to do an essay! Essays should be at least 3 pages long, typed, and double-spaced. Use quotes and specific examples from the play to support your argument. Choose one of the prompts to answer below.
1. Romeo and Juliet are referred to as "star-crossed lovers". Discuss the concepts of fate and destiny and explain how they relate to the play.
2. According to the rules of marriage in Shakespeare's time, argue whether or not Romeo and Juliet were lawfully married. Then, evaluate how this discovery could have altered the ending of the play.
3. Juliet's suitor Paris is compared throughout the play to Romeo. Examine carefully the similarities and differences between the two young men who love Juliet.
Good luck! Enjoy your break!
