Fatal Poison


Description

Students read Act 5.3, lines 88­–120, in which Romeo drinks a fatal poison in Juliet’s tomb, and analyze how central ideas are developed and refined in this excerpt. Students also view a clip of Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo + Juliet in which Romeo purchases a vial of poison from the Apothecary and Friar Laurence learns that Romeo never received his letter about the plan to fake Juliet’s death.
