Learn how to write about more than one interpretation for the top grades.
Take opposing views about the role of the Friar in bringing peace to Verona, but upsetting the social order.
About Romeo and Juliet's love representing the passion of the individual, or the error of challenging social conventions.
Relate their marriage to the potential tragedy of Shakespeare's marriage to Ann Hathaway.
Or alternatively, understand the play as a celebration of his own marriage in contrast to social conventions of Verona and Shakespeare's audience.
Find alternative perspectives on the Nurse, so that she is both hero and villain.
See how a contemporary audience might well have seen Capulet as a model father.
