Romeo and Juliet: Final Essay

For your final essay, you will choose to answer one of the three questions
provided in the packet. You can use any of the discussions, materials,
videos, and prompts we have used so far in class for your sources, cited in
MLA format. You must use strong evidence from these sources and
continue to connect it to the thesis.

1. Who or what is to blame for Romeo and Juliet’s deaths?
2. Do Romeo and Juliet truly love each other?
3. Are name and identity inseparable from meaning?
