Romeo and Juliet Practice

In the film and book Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare used many pieces of evidence for fate in the play. He talks about them to give clues to the readers so they do not loose interest and to keep them asking questions constantly for a more tense play. William Shakespeare  played it smart and told us all that the two lovers will die so constantly through the play questions are asked of how they die, and these clues give ideas In what’s happening

My quote I am analysing today is when Mercutio died during a fight between him and Tybalt, when Romeo tried to stop the fight and Tybalt stabbed him under the arm. ” A plague a’both houses” is what he said will fighting for his life. I think that Mercutio was talking to both Tybalt and Romeo and I think it meant that he’s cursing both houses and hopes for them to die and this brawl will stop. Because of this the audience are confused and keep wondering why in the play they keep talking about death. This raises awareness that there are more deaths to come but people keep wondering who is the next victim in this dramatic film. It keeps the audience guessing and they know there’s more to come

    This shows a strong understanding of Shakespeare’s techniques – what is needed now is for you to explore the concept of fate and how it plays out in Shakespeare’s play
