Explore the ways Shakespeare creates
sympathy for or dislike of Mercutio and
Tybalt (PLAN+TECHNIQUE)
- Get it right- `Romeo and Juliet`
+ "quotations"
- Do not use a quotation
that simply repeats what
you have just written.
- Audience=Play
- Embed quotations in to your sentence
- If you need to change the
tense of a word, or add a
pronoun, use [ ]
- If you don't want to include all
the words in the sentence use
`...` to show that you have left
some out
- Keep quotations short- 1-5 lines.
To introduce a longer quotation, use
a colon to introduce; indent onto a
new line
- Include the act and scene
number (at beggining or end
of quote/section)
- Do not start a sentence with a
quotation
- Make a point, give your evidence,
finish off with analytical
explanation+exploration
- You do not have to PEE all the time
- Make sure your paragraphs are explanation/analysis heavy
- Use plenty of quotes+evidence in your essay
- Take care with the formal, well-written language needed
for an essay. No contractions (eg isn't) + make the effort to
use the best phrasing you can
- Remember to write about the language
and individual words
- Analyse more language
(including individual
words)
- Main sections to use
for essay- act 3,
scene 1
- B uses pathetic
fallacy-weather reflects mod,
i.e. M's mood
- M is in a bad mood
(line 5)
- He says B is too quick to
fight and by the end of the
2nd drink he will have drawn
his sword
- Therefore dislike for M
straight away.
- Further more M picks on B (line 14+)
- Saying silly little quarels that B
has caused (cannot be true)
- M winds himself up.
Heats up
- Actually M explaining himself
- Thou/Thee/Thy-informal for friends
and family; addressing those of lower
status; to give insults
- When T enters he uses You
towards M as he is of a higher status
- M is winning the battle of
words- T not as intelligent as
him
- At line 66 (o calm, dishounrable, vile
submission!), M changes to complete
anger
- T has insulted R (boy=servant) with
implications of lower status and lack
of manliness
- So in this society, status
is important
- "manliness"-code of
male behaviour, male
honour
- R has thrown away his own honour;
not accepting a duel
- M cannot understand this
- Will fight for
honour of a
friend, of a man
- We may not see much sympathy
nowadays, but a mans honour was
taken very seriously
- T-will not fight R unless he "turn[s] and
draw[s]", following the dueling code of
honour
- T likes to follow the rules, to be perfect
- Honour is important to T: his
own honour as a man
