Romeo and Juliet: Introduction and Literary Terms

Plot Background: The Italian town Verona is beautiful, yet nothing can hide the ugliness of the feud between its two most prominent families. The Montagues and the Capulets hate each other. They are in a blood feud.

The Plot Thickens Prince Escalus has warned the families to avoid each other. Romeo Montague joins friends who are determined to sneak into a party at the Capulet home, where he meets Juliet Capulet.

The Plot Twists Romeo and Juliet can t take their eyes off each other. They have a romantic exchange on her balcony. Is there such a thing as love at first sight?

Shakespearean Sonnet Basics: Iambic Pentameter and the English Sonnet 5 unstressed syllables each followed by a stressed syllable (baboom / baboom / baboom / baboom / baboom) Shakespeare s sonnets are written predominantly in a meter called iambic pentameter, a rhyme scheme in which each sonnet line consists of ten syllables. The syllables are divided into five pairs called iambs or iambic feet. An iamb is a metrical unit made up of one unstressed syllable followed by one stressed syllable. An example of an iamb would be good BYE.

Here are some examples from the sonnets: When I / do COUNT / the CLOCK / that TELLS / the TIME (Sonnet 12) When IN / dis GRACE / with FOR / tune AND / men s EYES I ALL / a LONE / be WEEP / my OUT/ cast STATE (Sonnet 29) Shall I / com PARE/ thee TO / a SUM / mer s DAY? Thou ART / more LOVE / ly AND / more TEM / per ATE (Sonnet 18)

Blank Verse Unrhymed lines of iambic pentameter (5 unstressed syllables each followed by a stressed syllable.)

Couplet Two rhymed lines in a row There are fourteen lines in a Shakespearean sonnet. The first twelve lines are divided into three quatrains with four lines each. In the three quatrains the poet establishes a theme or problem and then resolves it in the final two lines, called the couplet. The rhyme scheme of the quatrains is abab cdcd efef. The couplet has the rhyme scheme gg. This sonnet structure is commonly called the English sonnet or the Shakespearean sonnet

SONNET 18 Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer's lease hath all too short a date: Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, And often is his gold complexion dimm'd; And every fair from fair sometime declines, By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd; But thy eternal summer shall not fade Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest; Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade, When in eternal lines to time thou growest: So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, So long lives this and this gives life to thee. A B A B C D C D E F E F G G

Comic Relief A humorous scene, incident or speech that relieves the tension of earlier events.

Static or Dynamic? Static characters stay the same. (Ex: static cling) Dynamic characters change. (Ex: dynamite)
