What is love?

So far in Shakespeare's play, Romeo and Juliet, we have been exposed to various representations of love. Write an extended response that explores these representations.

In your response you must demonstrate your ability to do the following things:

1. Use direct evidence
2. Reference your evidence (Act 3, Scene 1, 45-67)
3. Refer to the various positioning techniques in your discussion. E.g. Foreshadowing, language choices, use of Shakespearean sonnet, imagery, metaphor, simile, symbolism, motifs,etc.
4. Synthesise your evidence - the discussion of positioning techniques should help you here.
5. Can you suggest what is valued by certain characters with regards to love?

Make sure you proof-read and edit carefully.
