OVERARCHING QUESTIONS
• What are the themes of Lord of the Flies? • How do the literary elements contribute to the development of these themes?
ROMEO AND JULIET One’s destiny cannot be avoided. Love conquers all. Romeo and Juliet are punished not because of the flaws in their personalities but because fate is against them. Love is almost a disease that makes a person physically ill and that makes you behave in a foolish way. Intense emotions can blind a person to the reality of the situation. Foolish quarrels should be ended quickly, for they are never productive and can lead to tragedy. Fate or destiny is sometimes used as an excuse to avoid the responsibility of one’s own choices.
One’s destiny cannot be avoided. (not a theme- vague)
Love conquers all. (not a theme- cliché) Romeo and Juliet are punished not because of the flaws in their personalities but because fate is against them. (not a theme- mentions characters)
Love is almost a disease that makes a person physically ill and that makes you behave in a foolish way. (almost a theme- avoid “you”)
Intense emotions can blind a person to the reality of the situation. (theme! But why does it blind a person? Keep going!)
Foolish quarrels should be ended quickly, for they are never productive and can lead to tragedy. (almost a theme- avoid “should” and “never” – themes are not lessons or morals)
Fate or destiny is sometimes used as an excuse to avoid the responsibility of one’s own choices. (theme!!)
SMALL GROUP
• Read themes aloud to group • Create/Revise a theme as
needed • Put one theme from group
on board • 10 minutes
FORMULAIC PARAGRAPH • HANDOUT
• In Romeo and Juliet, author William Shakespeare suggests that fate or destiny is sometimes used as an excuse to avoid the responsibility of one’s own choices.
• For example, as they fight, Romeo yells at Tybalt, “Oh am I fortune’s fool!”
EVIDENCE TO ANALYSIS • For example, as they fight, Romeo yells at
Tybalt, “Oh I am fortune’s fool!” • Quality piece of evidence, relates to theme mentioned in topic
sentence • Context given for the quote • Partial quote • Incorporated into the sentence well
• Romeo’s outburst highlights the way in which he feels that that fate has been especially and unnecessarily cruel to him. He has had no control over his own destiny and is simply a “fool” manipulated by the hands of fate. • Analysis relates the quotation back to the theme • More than one sentence • Uses analysis words • Goes in depth
SAME SENTENCE Telling Romeo to forget about Rosaline, Benvolio argues that “one fire burns out another’s burning; / One pain is less’ned by another’s anguish,” which suggests that Benvolio knows Romeo is playing a game. If falling in love is easy, Benvolio seems to be saying, then so is falling out of love.

WHAT WE DON’T WANT:
In the beginning of the play Romeo seems in love with Juliet, and by the end of the play he is even more infatuated with her. Tybalt dislikes Romeo before he meets him, and when they face each other in Act III, he is ready to attack and kill.
GOOD EXAMPLE Juliet, in William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, is initially apprehensive, sheltered, and naive, yet as her love for Romeo grows, her character changes to become much more determined and strong. William Shakespeare’s Romeo feels in control of his life and choices in Romeo and Juliet, but by the end of the play he resigns himself to be controlled by fate.
