stop all the fighting.

in the beginning, but later agrees because she plans to fake her death and escape to be with Romeo forever.

dead and is put in a tomb.

The Writer: William Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon in

1594. In Romeo and Juliet (1597) Shakespeare may have been trying to

show us the consequences of our actions. The consequence of the family

feud is the death of the Montague and Capulet children; the consequence

of their deaths is an end to the families’ feud.

Setting: Verona, Italy

The only neutral setting is the

church, where Friar Laurence is.

The church, and the religion, seeks

to protect its followers (Romeo

and Juliet). What is the

significance of this setting?

Romeo and Juliet’s Italian setting would still have signaled that it’s a play is about extreme passions. In Shakespeare’s day many people shared the popular belief that hot climates induced passionate behaviors.

In Verona, there are two distinct settings – masculine world of the streets, where the men wander around and fight

with each other. The second of these worlds is the secluded, feminine world of the Capulet house, where Juliet

remains confined. What is the significance of the two settings?

The climate of Verona is much hotter than that of England. Why is this

important to the story?
