Friday Reflective Writing:
There are certain traits common to Shakespearean comedies or tragedies (see links above). Romeo and Juliet starts out like a comedy, and through the action of the play becomes a tragedy.
1. Explain in what ways the play is like a comedy. Address each of the elements from the article (language, love, plot twists, identity). Then,
2. Explain why you think Shakespeare wrote it as a comedy-turned-tragedy. How do the elements of a comedy enhance the tragedy?
