Lesson details
Lesson outcome
I can explore the societal expectations around adolescent behaviour and parental control in ‘Romeo and Juliet’.
Show transcript
Arguably, Shakespeare suggests that adolescence was associated with impulsiveness in Elizabethan England.
Therefore, we might suggest that the tragedy of ‘Romeo and Juliet’ was in part due to societal expectations of youth.
Shakespeare presents parental relationships as distant and separate from their children.
Potentially, we might see Shakespeare as questioning ideas of parental control and children's obedience.
