Six exam-style extract questions for students to answer on Shakespeare's celebrated play Romeo and Juliet.

Designed for students following the AQA GCSE English Literature specification, the practice questions include character analysis questions on Romeo, Juliet and Mercutio, as well as the key themes of violence and fate in the play. 

A framework is also included to help students plan an answer for a Shakespeare question. An excellent revision resource! 

 

An example practice question from the resource:

Starting with this extract from Act 2, Scene 2, explain how far you think that Shakespeare presents Juliet as a mature young woman.

Write about:

  • how Shakespeare presents Juliet in this scene
  • how Shakespeare presents Juliet in the rest of the play.
