Author Topic: "Romeo and Juliet" Assignment Help  (Read 1337 times)

So in my English class we're doing a mock trial for Romeo and Juliet. It's basically a bunch of groups of 3 people (attorney, defendant, speech writer) in which each attorney has to prove their defendant guilty about being the cause of Romeo and Juliet's death.

In my group, our defendant is Mercutio (y'know, the guy who's violent and reckless, fought Tybalt and died) and the attorney's job is to ask a bunch of questions to the defendant to prove 'em guilty. I need your help with coming up with some questions to ask Mercutio involving R + J's connections. I only need 4.

Things to consider:
  • Whearabouts
  • Relationship with R+J
  • Moral Responsibility
  • Moral Character
  • Mistakes made by the defendant

sorry, we don't do your homework here.

Don't worry! 9th grade is almost over!

I never read that play in high school. The only work of Shakespeare I ever read was Macbeth in 11th grade I think? Anyways, good luck with the project.

Shakespeare sucks and shouldn't be taught anywhere

why would you say this

why would you say this

because his stories suck, seriously people. i get that it's a 'classic' but get with the time, this isn't the shakespeare age anymore.

funny i have to write a whole big essay on what caused their death

i could literally take a stuff on a piece of paper and hide it away for thousands of years and it'll be taught in schools around the world as the greatest piece of literature of all time

I think they're works of art. I think it's very interesting to read early English too.

Not sure if its true, but your profile says you're twelve. You'd bee too young to understand Shakespeare's works if you were that young.

Funny, my english teacher made us read a few parts of it just last week to touch base on it before sophomore year.

Try making questions about why romeo was at the party and where he was during the time of the balcony scene.

Huh, all I have to do so far is just read the play and answer a couple of questions that could be answered in a shot sentence.

loving hell, thank god we never had to do this.

Are people really saying Shakespeare sucks? Are you trolling?

Have you never read Macbeth?

I'm not actually 12. I've read several of Shakespeare's plays and have seen some of them performed.
