Juliet is 13 years old at the time of the play, and Romeo is assumed to be about 16. What EFFECT does the age of the main characters have on modern audiences?
In your response, refer to both:
• characterisation (the way that characters are presented to readers), and
• assumptions about Venetian social values (things that Venetians accept as ‘right’, ‘proper’ and ‘normal’, but may be very different to modern VABs).
Write at least one page in your English notebook - no typed responses (The exam requires handwriting so you should practice this way).
