'Romeo and Juliet' Revision Act 1

When we first meet Romeo, his behaviour indicates that he is melancholic:

• He has avoided speaking to Benvolio

• He cries and sighs deeply

• He spends a lot of time locked in his darkened room

• All of the above

"Feather of lead, bright smoke, cold fire, sick health, still-waking sleep, that is not what it is! This love feel I, that feel no love in this."

This quote shows examples of:

• Pun

• Simile

• Oxymoron

• Onomatopoeia

Shakespeare uses oxymoron and paradox in the play to reveal:

• the conflict inherent in Romeo and Juliet's love

• that the play was set in Verona in the 16th century

• that Romeo and Juliet are from different classes of society

• when characters are being dishonest

How do Romeo and his friends hear about the Capulet ball?

• Montague encourages them to ruin it

• They overhear Sampson and Gregory discussing it

• An illiterate Capulet servingman asks them to read the guest list

• Rosaline invites them

When Lady Capulet asks Juliet, 'how stands your disposition to be married?' how does Juliet respond?

• She plans to find a better husband at the party

• She will consider it

• She wants to wait until she is 17

• She is upset

Mercutio says that Queen Mab has been with Romeo. Who is she?

• An assistant to the devil

• The fairies' midwife who causes people to dream of love

• A rejected member of the royal family

• Someone who was involved in the original 'ancient feud'

Who recognises Romeo at the ball and how?

• Lady Capulet sees his face behind his mask

• The servingman recognises him from the market earlier

• Lord Capulet sees him arguing with Tybalt

• Tybalt recognises Romeo's voice

Why does Capulet allow Romeo to stay at the ball?

• Romeo is no threat to anyone

• Romeo is dancing with Juliet

• Romeo has a reputation for being virtuous

• Capulet is more worried about Tybalt and Lady Capulet

How does Romeo discover that Juliet is the daughter of his family's enemy?

• Benvolio pulls him aside and identifies Juliet

• Tybalt threatens him to a duel

• Paris intervenes and warns Romeo

• Nurse tells him that Juliet's mother is the lady of the house

When Juliet says, 'If he be married, my grave is like to be my wedding bed,' this is an example of:

• personification

• pun

• foreshadowing

• pathetic fallacy
