Romeo and Juliet

THE LOVE AND DEATH PLAY

QUOTE:

THEME:

Love and attachment can result in death.

Romeo kills himself when he hears that Juliet is “dead”, then Juliet kills herself when she sees Romeo dead (Zeffirelli).

SYMBOL:

A symbol used to show this would be a dagger. A dagger could be used to save you from a threat or could kill you just like how a soulmate it.

WORD CHOICE:

One way that Shakespeare shows this in his writing is through his word choice. He uses words like "happy dagger" and the repetition of love and hate.
