Lesser-known Facts • Teen father: married pregnant 26 year-old Anne Hathaway when he was 18 • Deadbeat dad: Left wife and children for London at age 22 • Father of twins (Judith and Hamnet), and Susanna

London • Crowded • Open sewers • Bubonic Plague • Bathing considered dangerous • Queen Elizabeth I (Renaissance Era)

Clothes • One set used all year long, rarely washed • Underclothing slept in, infrequently changed • Clothes handed down from rich to poor

The Globe Theatre • Across the Thames River • Open ceiling • No artificial lighting • Three levels

Actors • Only men and boys • Young boys whose voices had not changed played the women’s roles • No kissing/hugging on stage • Women on stage would have been considered worse than prostitution

Spectators • Upper class—pay extra for cushions • Liked the POETRY • Middle class—sit on benches • Liked the PLOT • Lower class (called “groundlings” or “penny stinkards”) had to stand • Like the dirty JOKES • Lots of audience involvement

Romeo and Juliet • Written around 1595 • Tragedy • Set in Verona, Italy • Theme: Going to Extremes • Act I—Words vs. Actions • Act II—Love vs. Lust • Act III—Love vs. Hate • Act IV—Old vs. Young • Act V—Fate vs. Freewill

Things to think about… • What would you do if your parents did not approve of someone you were dating? • How important is the opinion of your family in decisions that you make? • Does violence solve problems?

Learning Targets • I can cite strong and thorough textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text. (RL.9-10.1) • I can analyze the development of a theme over the course of the text, including how it emerges and is shaped by specific details. (RL.9-10.2) • I can analyze how complex characters advance the plot and develop the theme. (RL.9-10.3)

Thinking Strategies • Inferring—using facts plus schema to make an educated guess (or “reading between the lines”) • Synthesizing—integrating your background knowledge with new information to form a new perspective, conclusion, or product
