Also, focus on the relationships of Romeo with his friends versus the side we see of him with Juliet. In the beginning of the play, he is as fun loving as they are, which adds even more to how smitten he his with her.

Juliet's long soliloquy before she drinks the potion focuses on her fears.  She at first calls the nurse, then changes her mind, realizing that she must act alone.  At first she fears that the potion won't work at all and lays a dagger beside her in case it doesn't.  She then fears that Friar Laurence may have lied, and really plans to kill her in order to avoid being punished for performing their marriage. \n\nAfter deciding that the Friar is honest and trustworthy, Juliet fears that she will wake up before Romeo arrives.  This prospect frightens her the most.  She fears strangling to death for lack of air, and then thinks about being in the vault with the bones of her ancestors, including Tybalt's recently dead body.  In horrible images, she imagines herself playing with the bones of her dead relatives and even smashing her own brains out with one of the bones.  As she imagines Tybalt's ghost seeking out Romeo, his murderer, she drinks the potion as a toast to Romeo.\n\nEven though Juliet's worst fear is that she will wake up too soon, it is ironic that this is the one thing that could have saved both their lives.\n\nJuliet is tragically alone in this scene, expressing her deepest fears in total isolation.  She shows her bravery as proof of her intense love for Romeo. In fact, it is her love for him which allows her to overcome her worst fears.

The Italian Rennaissance had such fare as Lasagne (without sauce), wine, risotto, fresh fish and lots of fresh fruits.

It depends on the topic of your essay. I'd start with an appropriate quotation from the play. Example:\n\n"Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?" Everyone has heard this famous quote from William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, but most people misunderstand the quote. While many people think Juliet is asking where Romeo is, she actually is asking why he must be Romeo (a Montague and, therefore, her family's enemy). This line draws attention to a central theme in the play--love is stronger than a tradition of hatred.

I'd say let the original plan that Juliet and the Priest had in the first place follow through,without Juliet actually dying. When she wakes up they kiss,and the the two families come looking for Romeo and realize Juliet is alive and it makes them appreciate the gifts they already had and they realize that theuir quarrleling was'nt right,and learned their lesson and have resolved their issues...then they all live happily ever after...perhaps a lesson to show love. I hope I made sense here!

1) Romeo and Juliet is set in Italy in the 17th century, WSS is set in new York City in the 20th century;\n2) The two lovers (Romeo & Juliet) both die; in WSS, Maria survives to accuse society (providing a neat sum-up for the audience);\n3) In WSS, there's a lot more singing and dancing;\n4) The function of Friar Lawrence from R&J is fulfilled in WSS by Doc, the drugstore owner, except that he doesn't marry the lovers, and he provides no theatrically-convenient "sleeping potion."\nThe mechanics of the stories (as well as the theme of the pointlessness of feuds) are essentially the same.

Notable is Iambic Pentameter- each line has 10 syllables, with emphasis on every other one.  Also, his dialogue is witty, full of double meaning and puns, and rapid fire:\nHere's the opening of Romeo and Juliet:\n  Sam.  Gregory, o’ my word, we’ll not carry coals. \n  Gre.  No. for then we should be colliers.   4\n  Sam.  I mean, an we be in choler, we’ll draw. \n  Gre.  Ay, while you live, draw your neck out o’ the collar. \n \nLots of wordplay.\n\nAlso, obviously, he wrote in Elizabethan english.

Being an English major, the courses I enjoy are those that focus on literature from the 1600 through early 1900's.  It takes you to the times socially and focuses on events and attitudes of the time the novel was written.  You also learn historical information at the same time.  So in your "A" group I would suggest, Art, Society, and Literature.  You are taken to various parts of the world in this course of study in English and it really opens your eyes to different people, cultures, religious and social beliefs.  AP English Literature would be the other course in your "A" list I personally would suggest.\n\nIn your "B" list I would suggest taking a course directed towards your future goals.  It appears English For the Business World or Advanced Writing are two courses that will prepare you for college.  \n\nThese are my suggestions and I wish you the best in whichever courses you choose to take.  Looks pretty interesting!

Tybalt's death turns the play to a tragedy.\n\nThings are going great for Romeo. He's just married Juliet, the love of his life. Everything is perfect until about an hour or so after his wedding to Juliet, when he kills Tybalt.\n\nPer the Prince's decree in Act I, Scene i, anyone caught engaging in a civil brawl will be put to death. Romeo should be killed. Instead, Prince Escalus exiles him. Here's where everything starts going wrong.\n\nJuliet gets sad and wants to kill herself. Her daddy wants her to marry Count Paris. Everything sucks. So she goes to see Friar Lawrence, who gives her the potion which will make her appear dead.\n\nUnfortunately, Romeo does not receive the Friar's message that Juliet is just faking her death. He thinks she has really died. He goes to her tomb and quaffs the poison. When Juliet wakes up, she finds Romeo dead. Despite Friar Lawrence's protest, she refuses to leave and stabs herself with the dagger.\n\nThe play is a tragedy because it has an unhappy ending and because the heroes (Romeo and Juliet) are brought down by their fatal flaws (their immaturity and impatience).

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...
