Conflict Arises

Today's Goal: Read the climax of Romeo and Juliet, and ask ourselves: Are Romeo's actions due to fate or does he act out of free will?

The Plan:
  1. Read
  2. CLICK HERE for the Act II quiz.
  3. Act III, Scene I (we'll need some actors!)

Literary Climax: "that particular point in a narrative at which the conflict or tension hits the highest point. Climax is a structural part of a plot and is at times referred to as a crisis." (source)

Questions for your English Journal:
  1. What occurs in this scene that indicates to us that this is the climax?
  2. Romeo blames fate for the events of this scene. Where does he do this? Why?
  3. Is Romeo correct? Is fate to blame, or did he act out of free will?
Homework:
  • Read your independent reading book at home
  • Revise and resubmit your HOMS essay. There are directions on School Loop if you choose to do this.
