9 Life in Shakespeare married Anne Hathaway when she was 26, but that was unusual. Most people married at age 11 or 12.

10 Life in 1594 Anne Hathaway s house was a 3-bedroom house with a small parlor, kitchen, and no bathroom. Mother and Father shared a bedroom. Anne had a queen-sized bed, but did not sleep alone. She also had 2 other sisters and 6 servant girls. They didn t sleep like we do lengthwise, but all laid on the bed crosswise.

11 Play Book Unit Map 2 Romeo and Juliet is about OVERWHELMING ROMANTIC LOVE through the CHOICES made by two people through FATE / DESTINY (were they meant to be together?) in spite of AN ANCIENT BLOOD FEUD in spite of LOSS, SACRIFICE (loyalties, life) in spite of TRADITION (the need to retaliate, family pride, obeying elders)
