Read Romeo and juliet by William Shakespeare and answer the questions below:
1, Criticism of the play has been directed at the “star crossed lovers,” theme owing the tragedy to fate. Dramatic conventions dictate that tragedy should occur because the hero has a “Character flaw.” Address that criticism. Does Romeo have a character flaw? What is it? Is it responsible for the tragedy, or is the tragedy “star-crossed?”
2. The play is older than Anderson. Why is this still relevant?
3. Is there a chorus in this? How are the classical chorus functions treated?
