  3. Concepts Question #2: What is a soliloquy, and how is it distinguished from a monologue?

  4. Themes Question #3: Explain the role of mistakes in Romeo and Juliet (what does their presence teach us?), and provide examples of important mistakes in the play.

  5. Plot Question #4: Why does Mercutio’s (and Benvolio’s) mistaken belief regarding the object of Romeo’s affection in Act II, Scene I matter?

  6. Characters Question #5: How are Mercutio’s attitudes – towards life, towards the conflict between the Montagues and the Capulets, etc. – different from those of the other characters?

  7. Concepts Question #6: Which important moment between Capulet and Tybalt provides an example of foreshadowing, and what does that moment foreshadow?

  8. Themes Question #7: How does Friar Lawrence characterize Romeo’s love in II.iii – and why doesn’t he characterize it the same way in II.vi?

  9. Plot Question #8: In the outline we discussed last week, which plot point/arc represents a complication for Romeo and Juliet?

  10. Characters Question #9: How does Capulet change over the entire play, and why does he develop this way?

  11. Concepts Question #10: What is dramatic irony, and how is it important to Romeo and Juliet?

  12. Themes Question #11: Describe the relationship between good and evil in Romeo and Juliet.

  13. Themes Question #12: How is Romeo and Juliet in many ways a play about the struggle for control? (Don’t just think of the two main characters…)

  14. Plot Question #13: Why is Romeo banished for his crime? (It’s not just the crime itself – why that punishment in particular?)

  15. Characters Question #14: How is the Prince responsible for what happens over the course of the play?

  16. Concepts Question #15: What is blocking?

  17. Themes Question #16: Where do we see sacrifice and compromise – or a willingness to do so – in Romeo and Juliet? Where don’t we see them?

  18. Themes Question #17: Explain the importance of haste – the act of proceeding rapidly or hurrying – in the play. (Again, the main characters aren’t the only hasty ones…)

  19. Plot Question #18: Which character is the last to die – or at least the one whose death we learn about last?
