Verona hasn’t got beach
Go to the cart
Carry swords

Haven’t got a tv
The mother of Juliet is strict
Haven’t got a pool
The father of Juliet isn’t will sink

2.2. CHOOSE ONE OF THESE TOPICS AND ANALYZE ITS ROLE WITHIN THE PLAY:
IMAGERY: there are lots of metaphors and images in the film: WATER (swimming pool, beach, aquarium...) and FIRE (petrol station, fights...), DAY and NIGHT, the MOON. What do they mean?
-The metaphor of the water makes us understand that Romeo and Juliet who are always and be found in the water, his kisses, his caresses ...
-The metaphor of fire is related to violence, fights ... And we do understand that whenever you go bad deeds are close to fire as petrol station...
-In Romeo and Juliet are always at night, be found in the morning and not return to see again until the evening, however the day never saw or were combined.

ROMEO AND JULIET
PROJECT WORK 1
1. Who were the Shakespeare’s and the Arden’s, and what was each family's place in local society?
William Shakespeare was born to John Shakespeare and mother Mary Arden some time in late April 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon.
Shakespeare's youth is that he presumably attended the Stratford Grammar School,
His dad made some money in the glove business, eventually opened a general store and over the years bought some property.
2. When do historians think that Shakespeare arrived in London? What is the reason he may have had to leave Stratford?
He arrived in London in 1585, after his marriage.
The legend say that he had to leave Stratford because he was caught stealing a deer.
4. Who was the ruler when Shakespeare first came to London? Who were her parents? Was she a good queen? Why?
The ruler was Elizabeth I.
Her parents were Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn.
She was a good queen because she was called Glorianna and Good Queen Bess, and also for her effective use of Parliament and the Privy Council, and by the development of legal institutions in the English counties. By her popularity, during her period of reign there was peace, and it was very long.
6. Who was Cristopher Marlowe? Which kind of relationship did he have with Shakespeare? How did he die? What might have been suspicious circumstances surrounding his death?
Marlowe, Christopher, 1564–93, English dramatist and poet, b. Canterbury. The greatest English dramatist before Shakespeare, Marlowe, a shoemaker's son, was educated at Cambridge and he went to London in 1587.Marlowe was stabbed in a barroom brawl by a drinking companion.the murder may have resulted from a definite plot, due, as some scholars believe, to Marlowe's activities as a government agent.The relationship is because Marlowe and Sheakspeare was a few very famous writers in this time.
7. How many sonnets did Shakespeare write? Who is believed to be the "Dark Lady" of the sonnets? Who else, other than Shakespeare, is believed to have written his plays?
Shakespeare write 154 sonnets.
The Dark Lady is believed to be Mary Fitton, a lady in waiting to Queen Elizabeth; Lucy Morgan, a brothel owner and former maid to Queen Elizabeth; and Emilia Lanier, the mistress of Lord Hunsdon, patron of the arts. Some also consider William Davenant's mother to be the Dark Lady, but only because Davenant claimed to be Shakespeare's illegitimate son.
Francis Bacon was who has written his plays.
8. Who were the Puritans? What were some of their beliefs? What did they think of the theatre and the actors in Shakespeare's time?
The Puritans were radical Protestants and they doing away with the pomp and ceremony of the Roman Catholic Church.
They believed that worship should be simple and regular. They also believed that most forms of luxury and pleasure were inherently sinful and should be avoided at all costs.
They think that the theatre served as a graphic illustration of the moral decline of the country.
