Romeo and Juliet Act V

So today we get to the end of the play.

Act V is filled with the tragedy of which the play bears the name...

2 words I want you to note are "denouement" and "catharsis". How do they apply at the end of this play?

"Romeo and Juliet" is one of Shakespeare's earlier plays. This can be seen by the ending.

What evidence is there to suggest this may be the case?

We are going to read the play aloud and divide the roles up in class.

Do you notice anything about the scene structure?

Apart from the last scene of the play how long is the last act?

On Friday you will be watching the film. 

The film will need to start at 7.55 in order to see it all by 9.50-10.00. So please TRY TO COME ON TIME.

To round off today write a short newspaper/ tv news item about the events at the end of the play..

Start off with the title/headline:

Verona in shock and grief
