Week 10 Syllabus: March 10

THIS WEEK WE ARE STARTING ACT 5 and will also continue working on the Actor’s Notebook assignment. As you re-read act five, think about the role of fate and free-will within the play. Shakespeare includes a lot of imagery around fate, implying that Romeo and Juliet are fated to meet, fall in love, and ultimately die. What should the audience think and feel about their love? And what of the lesson for their parents? For us, the play-goer?
