Final exam essay
Please complete one of the following essays in a 4-6 paragraph, grammatically correct, typed essay format. This is due to me no later than Saturday, June 8th at 11:59PM.
1. Friar Laurence famously says, "These violent delights have violent ends and in their triumph die, like fire and powder, which as they kiss, consume."
I have always contended that Romeo and Juliet is not about love, but passion. Using the quote above and information from the text, discuss the play as a cautionary tale about passion.
2. Many people blame Romeo and Juliet for being stupid, melodramatic children who cause their own deaths. However Romeo and Juliet most famously focuses on fate or "the stars." Do you see Romeo and Juliet 's tragic end as a product of fate or human error? Explain, remembering to cite specific examples from the text of the play.
