This is a 5-page Handout which represents a “model answer” to the question: “How does Shakespeare treat death in ‘Romeo and Juliet?’”
It is designed as a complete lesson and should last around 60-minutes in terms of delivery.
The answer is structured as follows:
- William Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet” intricately explores the theme of death, intertwining it with love, fate, conflict, and transformation.
- Foreshadowing and Premonitions: Shakespeare uses premonitions and dreams to foreshadow the impending deaths of Romeo and Juliet, heightening the sense of foreboding and dramatic irony.
- The Role of Fate and Destiny: Fate and destiny play significant roles, with the characters often attributing their misfortunes to fate, suggesting that their lives are governed by external forces beyond their control.
It is an invaluable resource for any students and teachers of the play.
