It's a while since I read Romeo and Juliet. If you would like to explain what happens in Act 2 Scene 2 then I might be able to help...

Yes, it is from "Macbeth"  I,7 lines 60ff. \nThe image is interesting. Lady Macbeth uses a simile from music, namely playing the lute. The strings of such an instruments are tightened by screwing the pegs to which they are fastened. This is to say that Macbeth must screw his courage like a lute-string until it is taut and has reached its 'sticking-place'.

1.  That she is foolish and way too naive to make decsions about her own marriage.\n2.  That, were she in her right mind, she would not fall in love with Othello ("what she feared to look on"), therefore she must be under some sort of magical spell.\n3.  That he loves her very much, although he shows it by being way too possessive.\n4.   That she has betrayed her father's love.\n5.  That she should probably do her own reading for English class.

She's definitely a dynamic character (d).  I just spent about 2 classes trying to get my students to see the difference between dynamic, static, round, and flat characters.  Trust me. :)

It dates back to when women were considered property.Once married, she became the property of her husband.Hence the name change.

She seems to have this obsession with all things English, and that's why her accent has changed.  It doesn't sound natural though, and really seems like she's thinking her every word before she says it so that it comes out as an English accent.

Here's one:\n\nhttp://www2.kenyon.edu/Projects/Margin/witch.htm\n\nI'm trying to base the research on the time of Macbeth re your question (he died c 1058) and, as you see from the beginning of the above, there is no clear definition of the witch as someone in league with the devil until 1500.  I assume that you are looking at how Shakespeare described the witches, from the 16th century point of view?\n\nTry also:\n\nhttp://homepages.tesco.net/~eandcthomp/macbeth.htm\n\nhttp://www.law.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/salem/witchhistory.html\n\nhttp://www.twingroves.district96.k12.il.us/Renaissance/Castles/Witches2.html\n\nhttp://www.engl.uvic.ca/Faculty/MBHomePage/ISShakespeare/Resources/Witches/Witches.html\n\nhttp://witches.monstrous.com/witch_hunt.htm\n\nThere is a lot of information to go through, but these sites seem to be fairly comprehensive.

Changing the language of Shakespeare changes the experience and defeats the play's impact.  Additionally, part of the reason for studying his plays is to gain skill at understanding and using language.\n\nOn the one hand, it is valid to want to deal with language that is easy to understand so as to follow a plot.  On the other hand, the way Shakespeare wrote is in itself a work of art, something to be appreciated for itself, aside from the plot.\n\nI remember that the movie version of Romeo and Juliet that starred Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes was hugely popular even though every word in it was just as Shakespeare wrote it.\n\nSo a large part of the problem here is that reading the plays in school, as opposed to hearing and seeing it performed, makes it hard to understand, not the language per se.

The most important thing to note regarding social class is how it affects Pip. At the beginning of the novel, he is poor (lower-middle class) but happy. As he is introduced to the rich Miss Havisham and the lovely Estella (upper class) he becomes unhappy. He longs for nothing more than a change of fortune. When it comes, Pip's character changes drastically. He is not as good of a person as he once was. In the end, however, he redeems himself by helping Magwitch. A theme reltaing to social class would be "Money can't buy happiness."

None. All professions have been changed in some form or another by IT. Even monks. And candle makers... publishers..mine workers....etc. etc. However, the Amish might be another story.

Ok, I will help - but I will not give you the answers, that's not help.  If the Shakespearean-era language is difficult to get through, I suggest checking out a noted version of the play (Penguin Publishing has some excellent, quite affordable paperback versions) to help you understand who's saying what.  You might also try to find a full production of the play or a video version. (Zeffirelli's is visually stunning, but leaves out a lot of the by-play.  The newer version with DiCaprio & what's-her-name is visually odd, but leaves in more of the dialogue.  Most libraries also will have the odd BBC or Canadian production in their media library, and these are usually complete dialogue without anything too extreme in the way of visuals.)\n\n1. Think about social conventions of the time - Juliet is a young, unmarried but highly marriageable woman.  Also, think about any parents' natural reaction if they were to find their daughter in the company of any young man - especially if that young man was a member of a family you hated.\n\n2 & 4 are very closely related.  Think about modern divorce rates in marriages that are made quickly - then think about a society where annulments were possible but difficult and divorce as such was not really an option.\n\n3. Reread the scene, and think about Juliet being a young woman besotted, while the nurse is somewhat of a doddering old lady who tends to ramble on and on and on (and some of her lines do amount to Elizabethan toilet humour, by the way).\n\n5.  Think about the purpose of a foil.  Mercutio & Nurse are both close to the main characters, and marginally involved/possibly condoning their behaviours.  Pick out a few key points in the act and you should have no trouble getting 8 to 10 sentences.  For example, do these characters encourage this lovelorn behaviour between the main characters? How? Why?\n\nPersonal sidenote/pet peeve about this play: Why does everyone perform the Queen Mab speech as though it's a huge dramatic foreshadowing?  It is, even the densest people grasp that after seeing the play once - but keep in mind Mercutio's playful, sarcastic character - why on earth would he of a sudden burst into this long prophetic rant?  I've gotten a few people to read it as a mocking, sarcastic sort of monologue, and have been far more pleased with it...
