About this resource
A private relationship develops inside a city divided by family hostility. Shakespeare places quick decisions, public violence and failed communication alongside moments of tenderness. Follow who knows what at each stage: the audience often understands dangers that the characters cannot see. Study the contrast between intimate language and public demands to develop an argument about how the tragedy is made, rather than treating its ending as inevitable from the beginning.
