Planning an essay on the role of fate in Shakespeare's 'Romeo and Juliet'

Writing an essay on the role of fate in Shakespeare's 'Romeo and Juliet'

In 'Macbeth: Lady Macbeth as a Machiavellian Villain', pupils focus on the role that Lady Macbeth plays in the downfall of her husband. In 'Macbeth: A Tragic Hero', pupils become more critical of Macbeth's own decisions, evaluating whether he could be considered a tragic hero.

In 'Othello', pupils explore the role that Desdemona played in her husband's downfall. In 'Macbeth: Lady Macbeth as a Machiavellian Villain', pupils analyse the impact of Lady Macbeth's manipulation.

In this unit, pupils read and analyse 'Romeo and Juliet' by focusing on the role of fate. They start by understanding the play's tragedy and the concept of fate, before exploring key characters and themes in detail. They finally prepare and write an essay about the role of fate in the play.
