Lesson outcome
I can explore how Shakespeare represents ideas of individualism and the status quo in ‘Romeo and Juliet’.
Show transcript
Romeo and Juliet's secret marriage creates a conflict between individual desire and traditional authority.
We also arguably see the rule of law and religion being challenged by individual desire.
Potentially, the feud serves to preserve the status quo that is threatened by individualism.
Shakespeare's depiction of individualism may represent Elizabethan anxiety about the social cost of individualism.
