Who said it?
“These violent delights have violent ends…”
Friar Lawrence
In Act 1, Romeo discusses the reasons for his sadness with this cousin of his.
Benvolio
“Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs…”
Metaphor
My heart feels as though it could burst from my chest. Just hours ago, I was a girl caught in the suffocating expectations of my family, bound to a future I never chose.
Juliet
What is the name of the theatre where many of Shakespeare's plays were performed during his lifetime?
The Globe Theatre
“I’ll look to like, if looking liking move.”
Juliet
Despite encouragement from his friends, Romeo does not want to attend this event but he does.
The Capulets' Party
“The gray-eyed morn smiles on the frowning night…”
Personification
I thought Juliet would have been better off with Paris than with Romeo, but I want her to be happy. Now that Romeo has killed Tybalt, I am afraid this whole secret marriage was a bad idea.
Nurse
In what year was William Shakespeare born?
1564
“A plague o’ both your houses!”
When Romeo sees Juliet on her balcony, he uses a metaphor, comparing her to this...
The Sun
“O brawling love, O loving hate…”
Oxymoron
The violence in Verona grows worse with each passing day, and I fear it will soon consume us all. The Montagues and Capulets cannot seem to live without clashing.
The Prince
In which city was William Shakespeare born?
Stratford-upon-avon, England
“What, drawn, and talk of peace! I hate the word, as I hate hell, all Montagues, and thee.”
Tybalt
Although Lady Capulet demands that Romeo pay with his life for the murder of Tybalt, what actually happens to him?
Banishment / Exile
The audience knows Juliet isn’t really dead when Romeo finds her in the tomb, but Romeo believes she is, leading to tragic consequences.
Dramatic Irony
I am now dead, and I blame my tragic death entirely on the ridiculous feud between the Montagues and the Capulets. I am not even a member of either family, and their fighting has cost me my life.
Mercutio
How many plays did Shakespeare write before Romeo and Juliet?
10
"O, how my head aches! What a head have I! It beats as if it would fall in twenty pieces."
Nurse
Romeo describes his love for Juliet after first meeting as "as boundless as......."
As boundless as the sea.
Romeo and Juliet are both characterized by their noble qualities, but their flaws (impulsiveness, secrecy) lead to their downfall and death.
Tragic Hero
My heart is not ready to be claimed by someone so impulsive, so consumed by the notion of love. His words were sweet at first, but I could not be trapped in a fleeting emotion.
Rosaline
What was the name of Shakespeares wife?
(hint - same name as a well known actress)
Anne Hathaway
