What is a prologue?
Treatment
of women
List as many words as
you can that describe
love in Romeo and Juliet.
Act 1 Scene 5
What is a sonnet?
A sonnet is a perfect, idealized poetic form often used to write about love.
Encapsulating the moment of origin of Romeo and Juliet’s love within a sonnet therefore creates a perfect match between literary content and formal style.
Where Romeo and Juliet first meet at the
Capulet party.
The shared sonnet between Romeo and Juliet creates a formal link between their love and their destiny.
With a single sonnet, Shakespeare finds a means of expressing perfect love and linking it to a tragic fate.
ROMEO
If I profane with my unworthiest hand
This holy shrine, the gentle fine is this:
My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand
To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.
JULIET
Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much,
Which mannerly devotion shows in this;
For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch,
And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss.
ROMEO
Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too?
JULIET
Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer.
ROMEO
O then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do:
They pray, grant thou, lest faith turn to despair.
JULIET
Saints do not move, though grant for prayers' sake.
ROMEO
Then move not while my prayer's effect I take.
Thus from my lips, by thine, my sin is purg'd.
Kissing her
JULIET
Then have my lips the sin that they have took.
ROMEO
Sin from my lips? O trespass sweetly urg'd!
Give me my sin again.
Kissing her again
JULIET
You kiss by th' book.
ROMEO
Write down a list of words that you
would use to decribe Romeo.
Who does Romeo have a relationship
with in the play?
What sort of impression do we get of Romeo from these relationships?
JULIET
When writing an essay to answer a quesion it is always important to give reasons for what you say.
Examples from the text give evidence to back up whatever point you are making.
For example:
Romeo says he is unworthy of Juliet, 'If I profane with my unworthiest hand'. He does this to make Juliet think that he does not think much of himself and encourages her to feel sorry for him.
How does Shakespeare present Romeo and Juliet's relationship in Act 1?
How does Romeo and Juliet's realtionship
develop during Act 1?
Use your copies of Romeo and Juliet and your knowledge so far to complete a DETAILED mind map as a plan for your answer.
A perfect and often forbidden form of love celebrated in the
literature of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance in which a knight or
courtier devotes himself to a lady who is usually married
and who pretends not to care to preserve her reputation.
Courtly love stereotypes
The typical lover:
• He would be a young male, who loved a lady, probably of higher rank than himself,
from a distance
• He would lie awake at nights, pining in despair
• He would write verses about the pain of his unrequited love for his ‘mistress’
The typical lady:
• She, meanwhile, from the security of her home, would have an attitude of total disdain. She would ignore him.

Key quotations
Calpurnia always won, mainly because Atticus always took her side. (Page
12)
In Calpurnia’s teaching, there was no sentimentality. (Page 25)
‘Yo’ folks might be better’n the Cunninghams but it don’t count for nothin’
the way you’re disgracing ‘em.’ (Page 30
Calpurnia stared, then grabbed us by the shoulders and ran us home.
(Page 99)
‘I don’t want anybody sayin’ I don’t look after my children.’ (Page 123)
That Calpurnia led a modest double life never dawned on me.’ Page 131)
‘She tried to bring up according to her lights and Cal’s lights are pretty
good and another thing- the children love her.’ (Page 142)
Remember:
Prove what you say by reference to the text.
Keep the quotations short.
Look at the way the author uses the language- word choices etc.
Don’t tell the story.
Think about the way Calpurnia reacts to other people and what other people
think of her.
Remember that Scout tells the story and we see Calpurnia through her eyes.
Be relevant and organised.

Use you Act 1 Scene 5 anotations to answer this question.
How does Romeo try to convince Juliet to kiss him? Does he succeed?
Two households both alike in dignity
(In fair Verona, where we lay our scene)
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes
A pair of star-cross’d lovers take their life
Whose misadventur’d piteous overthrows
Doth with their death bury their parents’ strife.
The fearful passage of their death-mark’d love
And the continuance of their parents’ rage,
Which, but their children’s end, nought could remove,
Is now the two hours’ traffic of our stage:
The which, if you with patient ears attend,
What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.
