Romeo and Juliet Word Search
This Romeo and Juliet word search holds forty words from Shakespeare's play of the feuding families of Verona: Montague and Capulet, Mercutio, Tybalt, the Nurse, Friar Laurence, the apothecary and the balcony.
Shakespeare wrote the play around 1595 and took the plot from a long English poem by Arthur Brooke, printed in 1562. He sped it up: the action fits into about four days. He also made Juliet younger, thirteen and two weeks short of her fourteenth birthday. The prologue is a sonnet, and so are the first fourteen lines the lovers speak to each other at the Capulet feast.
When Juliet asks wherefore art thou Romeo, she means why, not where: why must he be a Montague. The word balcony never appears in the play; the stage direction puts her at a window. The plan fails on a small thing. Friar John, carrying the letter that explains the sleeping potion, is shut inside a house by officials who fear the plague, and Romeo hears only that Juliet is dead.
