Hi, class,
I have asked you to read
and take notes on Act I of Romeo and Juliet. Of course, as with all the
plays we will be reading this semester, please take notes and highlight
passages that you find significant. We will be discussing the play's
importance as Shakespeare's most enduring love story, and we will analyze the
setting, plot, action, and dialogue of Act I. I have included a video clip
of several versions of the opening of the play below--enjoy!
As you read and
take notes, here are a few questions to ponder:
- What is the significance of the prologue, which foreshadows the story we are about to see unfold?
- What are some of the themes that you see emerging in the first act?
- What role is Fate playing in the lives of the Montagues and the Capulets?
