Romeo & Juliet Acts 1-2 Analysis #1

In Acts 1 and 2 of Romeo & Juliet, how does Shakespeare use elements of drama to reveal and/or develop character? Choose one character or two or more closely related characters (e.g., Romeo and Juliet, or the Nurse), and be sure to choose Literary Terms that are “Elements of Drama” to analyze. Use proper grammar and syntax, and include at least two quotes with proper page citation and signal phrases.

Write at least one paragraph. You may refer to your Key Terms Notes and the PDFs of the play, but do not go on the internet.

Each paragraph should follow this structure--

  A. Topic sentence: Argument 

• Introduce your evidence

          B. Evidence (quote or idea), with citation: "Quote" (page number).
"For example, Juliet says, "Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?" (100).

• Commentary (at least twice as long as the evidence) - Explain how and/or why the evidence proves your argument.  NO PLOT SUMMARY.

          C. Second evidence (as defined above)

• Commentary (as defined above)

          D. Concluding sentence – wrap up the paragraph and transition to the next body paragraph


4. During the remaining time, read your Independent Reading book, or study for next week's quiz.
