Read the following extract from the start of Act 3 Scene 2 of Romeo and Juliet and then answer thequestion that follows.At this point in the play Juliet reacts to the news of Tybalt’s death.JULIETShall I speak ill of him that is my husband?Ah, poor my lord, what tongue shall smooth thynameWhen I, thy three-hours wife, have mangled it?But wherefore, villain, didst thou kill my cousin?That villain cousin would have killed my husband.Back, foolish tears, back to your native spring;Your tributary drops belong to woe,Which you, mistaking, offer up to joy.My husband lives, that Tybalt would have slain,And Tybalt’s dead, that would have slain myhusband.All this is comfort. Wherefore weep I then?Some word there was, worser than Tybalt’s death,That murdered me. I would forget it fain,But, O, it presses to my memoryLike damnèd guilty deeds to sinners’ minds:“Tybalt is dead and Romeo banishèd.”That “banishèd,” that one word “banishèd,”Hath slain ten thousand Tybalts. Tybalt’s deathWas woe enough if it had ended there;Or, if sour woe delights in fellowshipAnd needly will be ranked with other griefs,Why followed not, when she said “Tybalt’s dead,”“Thy father” or “thy mother,” nay, or both,Which modern lamentation might have moved?But with a rearward following Tybalt’s death,“Romeo is banishèd.” To speak that wordIs father, mother, Tybalt, Romeo, Juliet,All slain, all dead. “Romeo is banishèd.”There is no end, no limit, measure, bound,In that word’s death. No words can that woe sound.Where is my father and my mother, nurse?Starting with this extract, explore how Shakespeare presents death in Romeo and Juliet.Write about:• how Shakespeare presents the significance of death in this extract.• how Shakespeare presents the significance of death in the play as a whole
