English 9 Class Notes

Objectives: Freshmen identified and explained plot, character, setting, and figurative language in a drama.

Freshmen, we picked up the third act of the play today, just after Romeo and Juliet are married (having known each other less than 24 hours) when the trouble between the Capulets and Montagues comes to its final boiling point in the streets of Verona. Tybalt and Mercutio goad each other to swords, but the latter is killed by the former when Romeo intervenes to stop fight. Then Romeo avenges his friend by taking up arms against Tybalt and killing him and this results in his banishment from Verona by Escalus.

We’re not even halfway through the play, boys and girls, but we’ll continue next class. Until then, more clips; the first picks up just as Romeo has entered and stalled the dispute between Mercutio and Tybalt. We’ll watch the teleplay version when we see each other again.

I’ll see you next time.
