Fate's Final Play

Today's Goal: Finish this play and brainstorm the possible messages that Shakespeare wants us to walk away with.

The Plan:

1. Book Love: Read!
2. Finish Romeo and Juliet
3. CLICK HERE for a form for brainstorming
4. If time, we will watch the final scenes in the movie.

As we finish the play, here are some things to watch out for (you don't need to put it in your English Journal unless you really really want to. It might be helpful to YOU because these questions aren't going away due to the essay assignment we're going to talk about tomorrow):

1. When all is said and done, was fate the cause of everything?
2. How does family loyalty affect our actions?
3. Is it possible to fall in love that quickly? Are their actions for love justified?
4. How does hatred drive the character's actions? What are the consequences?
5. In what ways does gender affect the characters of this story?
