Explore the ways Shakespeare creates sympathy for or dislike of Mercutio and Tybalt (PLAN+TECHNIQUE)
  1. Get it right- `Romeo and Juliet` + "quotations"
    1. Do not use a quotation that simply repeats what you have just written.
      1. Audience=Play
        1. Embed quotations in to your sentence
          1. If you need to change the tense of a word, or add a pronoun, use [ ]
            1. If you don't want to include all the words in the sentence use `...` to show that you have left some out
              1. Keep quotations short- 1-5 lines. To introduce a longer quotation, use a colon to introduce; indent onto a new line
                1. Include the act and scene number (at beggining or end of quote/section)
                2. Do not start a sentence with a quotation
                  1. Make a point, give your evidence, finish off with analytical explanation+exploration
                    1. You do not have to PEE all the time
                      1. Make sure your paragraphs are explanation/analysis heavy
                        1. Use plenty of quotes+evidence in your essay
                          1. 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
                            1. Remember to write about the language and individual words
                              1. Analyse more language (including individual words)
                                1. Main sections to use for essay- act 3, scene 1
                                  1. B uses pathetic fallacy-weather reflects mod, i.e. M's mood
                                    1. M is in a bad mood (line 5)
                                      1. He says B is too quick to fight and by the end of the 2nd drink he will have drawn his sword
                                        1. Therefore dislike for M straight away.
                                          1. Further more M picks on B (line 14+)
                                            1. Saying silly little quarels that B has caused (cannot be true)
                                              1. M winds himself up. Heats up
                                                1. Actually M explaining himself
                                          2. Thou/Thee/Thy-informal for friends and family; addressing those of lower status; to give insults
                                            1. When T enters he uses You towards M as he is of a higher status
                                              1. M is winning the battle of words- T not as intelligent as him
                                              2. At line 66 (o calm, dishounrable, vile submission!), M changes to complete anger
                                                1. T has insulted R (boy=servant) with implications of lower status and lack of manliness
                                                  1. So in this society, status is important
                                                    1. "manliness"-code of male behaviour, male honour
                                                  2. R has thrown away his own honour; not accepting a duel
                                                    1. M cannot understand this
                                                      1. Will fight for honour of a friend, of a man
                                                        1. We may not see much sympathy nowadays, but a mans honour was taken very seriously
                                                    2. T-will not fight R unless he "turn[s] and draw[s]", following the dueling code of honour
                                                      1. T likes to follow the rules, to be perfect
                                                        1. Honour is important to T: his own honour as a man
