92Essay Question 1
Throughout Acts IIV, plans are made only to
unravel at the last minute. Romeo plans to marry
Juliet, but then he kills Tybalt and is banished
from Verona on his wedding day. Next, Friar
Lawrence devises a plan to deal with Romeos
banishment only to discover that Capulet has set
a wedding date for Juliet that is only three days
away. As we see in Act V, Friar Lawrences plan
to finally unite Romeo and Juliet goes awry. In
an essay, explain why you believe the plan fails.
Home Sample Answer
93Sample answer Essay 1
Students essays should conclude that timing is
the critical factor in the failed plans of Romeo,
Juliet, and Friar Lawrence. Students may cite the
circumstances leading up to the wedding date and
of the messages delivered too late or not at all
Back to essay 1 Home Next Essay Question
94Essay Question 2
By the beginning of Act V, there has been enough
misfortune to make the play a tragedy. However,
the remainder of Act V brings even more disaster.
Romeo kills Paris and then poisons himself.
Juliet kills herself when she learns of Romeos
death. Finally, Montague reveals that his wife
has died as well. In an essay, explain why
Shakespeare includes the deaths of Paris and Lady
Montague in Act V. How does Shakespeare pull the
audience away from the grief and back to feeling
hopeful about human nature? Support your opinions
with examples from the play.
Home Sample Answer
95Sample answer Essay 2
Students should review the definition of tragedy
they have been provided. The central character
meets disaster or great misfortune, and the
misfortune may seem worse than what the
characteror anyone else in the playdeserves.
Thus, the deaths of Paris and Lady Montague
complete the tragedy. Shakespeare pulls the
audience away from the grief with the
reconciliation of the feuding families.

96Essay Question 3
Consider this statement Tragedy should imitate
real-life actions that excite pity and fear. In
an essay, explain how the statement fits Romeo
and Juliet. Examine the events or developments
that brought forth feelings of pity, fear, or
anxiety as you read the play. Discuss whether
pity and fear are necessary to make a tragic
situation effective for an audience. Support
your opinions with examples from the play.
Home Sample Answer
97Sample answer Essay 3
Students essays should express that pity and
fear are what make us sympathize and identify
with the characters, so that we feel their losses
and victories. Events that evoke pity the
mischance of falling in love with an enemy, of
having a marriage arranged for you, of being
banished from your home (through fault or not) on
the day of your wedding the failure of a message
to arrive in a timely manner. Events that evoke
fear the initial brawl in which the heros life
is first in danger, Romeos safe concealment
after being banished, Juliets taking the potion
without knowing its effects.
