Hi there, I'm Mr Buckingham and it's so good to see you here for today's lesson.

Today we're going to continue our work on Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet by delving into some of the key scenes in the play where Romeo and Juliet meet and fall in love.

We're also going to be watching some clips from an animated version of the play as well as reading some of Shakespeare's original script and I think you're going to be amazed by how much of the language you can still understand 400 years later.

If you're ready, let's make a start.

Today's lesson is called Exploring Juliet's Emotions After meeting Romeo, and it comes from a unit called Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet Diary and Narrative Writing.

By the end of today's lesson, you will have used the authentic play script to work out how Juliet feels about Romeo after meeting him.

As I said, we're going to be watching in this lesson some clips from an animated version of the play, and they're taken from the film Shakespeare, the Animated Tales, Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare Animated Films and Christmas Films. Here are our keywords for today's lesson.

A scene is a sequence of continuous action in a play, film, opera, or book.

A play script is the written version of a play, and early modern English is the stage of English language used from approximately the late 15th century to the late 17th century.

Here's our lesson outline for today.

We're going to start off by exploring the scene at the ball, and then we'll be exploring the balcony scene in Romeo and Juliet.

So we know that Romeo and Juliet is a play written by William Shakespeare and it's considered to be one of the greatest tragedy plays ever written.

But why is the play considered a tragedy? Pause the video and remind your partner of the ending and why that makes it a tragedy.

Have a go.

Well done, really good job.

So we know the ending is very tragic because both the main characters die.

So we know that Romeo kills himself with poison because he believes Juliet to be dead.

But in fact, she's just sleeping because of that potion she took.

And then when Juliet wakes up from her potion-induced sleep, she finds that Romeo is dead next to her.

And so she kills herself with a dagger.

It's a very tragic ending.

And in this lesson, we're going to focus on not those scenes, but the scenes that start it all off.

The scenes from the play where Romeo and Juliet meet and they fall in love.

Now, if you're reading the play script that Shakespeare wrote, that would be Act 1, Scene 5 and Act 2, Scene 1.

We're just going to be reading some short extracts from those scenes and I'm going to show you the words on the screen.

So you don't need to have the play script with you.

So what problems did Romeo and Juliet face in their relationship? What barriers did they face to get together? And then what problems did they face when they were together? Pause the video and have a think.

Well done, good job.

So first of all, they were from those feuding families, weren't they? Romeo was a Montague and Juliet was a Capulet, and so their families hated each other passionately.

They've got this long-running feud, which was even violent at times.

And because of this, they had to do everything secretly.

That's a big problem, isn't it? Including getting married in secret.

And then Romeo was, of course, exiled for killing Tybalt, so they've been separated again.

Then we have the situation where Juliet's parents wanted her to marry Paris, even though she's already married to Romeo.

And obviously she didn't want to do this because she's in love with Romeo, who she's just married.

And then because of this, she agreed to Friar Lawrence's plan to use that potion to avoid the wedding.

And then that plan obviously went very badly wrong.

Really well done for your thoughts there.

So why do you think Romeo and Juliet were so keen to be together, even though they faced all of these problems? Pause the video and have a careful think.

Well done, good thinking.

So first of all, Lucas says they were in love.

They felt an instant connection to each other at the ball and it was love at first sight.

And in the end, they were willing to do anything to be together.

So Lucas is saying, well, they were willing to put up with all these problems because they were so in love.

Well, here's what Sam says.

Sometimes when someone says we can't do something, that makes it more appealing.

I think part of the reason that their love was so strong, was that it was forbidden.

They were enjoying rebelling against their families.

We did mention in the previous lesson, that one of the key themes in Romeo and Juliet is the idea that young people might want to rebel against their parents and their families.

So Sam's saying that rebellion is what made their romance so exciting.

They wanted to go against their families and the fact that their love was forbidden is part of what made it so exciting for them and made them so passionate about it.

So today we're going to focus on those scenes where Romeo and Juliet meet and where their romance begins, the thing that sparks all these events that lead, unfortunately, towards their death.

So we know that before this happens, the following events have already occurred.

First of all, there's this brawl between the families, which has been broken up by the prince.

He says any more brawling will lead to death.

And we know that Romeo has been pining for a woman called Rosaline.

He's in love with her, but she doesn't seem to be that interested in him.

And then by chance Romeo and his cousin Benvolio and his friend Mercutio learn about a ball that's going to be happening at the Capulet mansion.

So that's their enemy's mansion.

These are all people on the Montague side and they decide they're going to go.

Now it's a masked ball so they're able to go disguised.

Now we're going to watch the scene where Romeo and Juliet meet at the ball.

(festive music) <v Narrator>Here are Romeo and Benvolio, and Mercutio,</v> a relative of the prince and Romeo's dearest friend.

<v ->Romeo, we must have you dance.

</v> <v ->Not I, believe me.

</v> You have dancing shoes with nimble soles.

I have a soul of lead.

<v ->(laughing) You're a lover.

</v> Borrow Cupid's wings.

<v ->Peace, peace, Mercutio, peace.

</v> <v Narrator>That's Rosaline.

</v> And that's Juliet, Capulet's daughter.

<v ->Oh, she doth teach the torches to burn bright.

</v> Did my heart love till now? Forswear its sight, for I ne'er saw true beauty till this night.

<v ->This, by his voice, should be a Montague.

</v> Fetch me my rapier, boy.

<v ->Why, how now, kinsman?</v> Wherefore storm you so? <v ->Uncle, this is a Montague,</v> our foe.

<v ->Let him alone.

</v> <v ->If I profane with my unworthiest hand this holy shrine,</v> the gentle sin is this.

My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand to smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.

<v ->Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hands too much,</v> which manly devotion shows in this.

For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch, and palm to palm is holy palmer's kiss.

<v ->Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too?</v> Oh, trespass sweetly urged, give me my sin again.

<v ->You kiss by the book.

</v> <v Narrator>Here is Juliet's nurse.

</v> <v ->Madam, your mother craves a word with you.

</v> <v ->What is her mother?</v> <v ->The lady of the house.

</v> <v ->Is she a Capulet?</v> Oh dear, a count.

My life is my foe's debt.

<v ->What's he that now is going out of door?</v> <v ->His name is Romeo and a Montague.

</v> <v ->My only love sprung from my only hate.

</v> <v ->Okay, so based on what we've just watched,</v> can you put these events in the order they occur from 1 to 4? Pause the video and have a go.

Well done, good job.

So hopefully you started off with Romeo and his friends arrive in their masks, hiding their identity at the ball.

Then we have Romeo seeing Juliet across the ballroom and he goes over to her.

Then Romeo and Juliet talk and they end up kissing.

And then finally, Romeo finds out from the nurse that Juliet's a Capulet and Juliet finds out from the nurse that Romeo is a Montague.

So they've both discovered that they are from enemy families.

And that's where we got to in that scene.

Now, that animation uses the original language from Shakespeare's script.

Not all of it.

They've selected certain bits to include, but all of that language is from the original script.

And you'll have noticed that lots of the language used is quite difficult to understand for us 400 years later.

That's because Shakespeare's script is written in early modern English, which is the style of English which was used at the time, which, of course, we no longer use in our day-to-day conversation anymore.

Now, although we can still recognise many of the words, there are some words that we no longer use and some different ways of speaking.

And that makes some of the words harder to understand.

So, for instance, we'll hear the pronouns thou, thee and thine being used in Shakespeare's play scripts, because those were pronouns which were in use at that time, which we no longer use today.

Remember, they also had a different culture at the time.

And just like we make references when we speak to things happening in the culture around us, people at this time period would have made references to their culture, which might be difficult for us to understand.

But the best way to understand Shakespeare's early modern English is to watch his plays and see what the actors are doing as they speak.

And many people find that they struggle to understand when they read the play script, when they go and see it in action, they understand so much more because they're seeing the actors show their emotions, show their actions through what they're doing on the stage.

Now, even though some of the language can be tricky for us to understand, we can still find out lots from Shakespeare's play scripts by reading them today.

And play scripts include, of course, dialogue, things people say, as well as stage directions, things people are being asked to do on the stage, and character descriptions.

It might tell us something about who and what a character looks like.

So we're going to look now at part of the play script from when Romeo and Juliet first talk.

Now we're not going to worry too much about the words here, but notice how on the left hand side, we've got the names of the characters, Romeo, Juliet, Romeo, Juliet, and then on the right hand side, what they're saying.

So this is what a play script would look like.

And you'll also see in purple there, I've got in brackets, the stage directions.

Now, the dialogue in this section is very tricky.

This is the moment when they kiss.

And Romeo is actually making lots of religious references.

He's talking as if Juliet's a saint and he's a pilgrim.

He's come to see the saint.

We won't worry about that bit too much.

But notice the stage directions.

It says, he kisses her, and, he kisses her.

So the stage directions are telling us that this is a romantic scene where they kiss twice.

And then Juliet responds by saying, you kiss by the book.

So we've got a situation here where the stage directions are helping us to understand something that's going on, even if the language here might be quite tricky for us.

Now, I'm going to show you a scene now which we can definitely understand by reading it really carefully.

Here's a scene from after that kiss where Juliet's asking her nurse about several men she sees leaving the ball.

So you might remember Juliet's called away to speak to her mother and then Romeo departs from the ball.

So Juliet says, what's he that follows here that would not dance? The nurse says, I know not.

Juliet says, go ask his name.

The stage direction says, the nurse goes.

Then it says, nurse returning.

His name is Romeo and a Montague, the only son of your great enemy.

And Juliet says, my only love sprung from my only hate.

We can work out what this means, even though it's written in early modern English.

So what do you think is happening in this passage? And what does Juliet mean at the end when she says, my only love sprung from my only hate? See if you can work out what the early modern English means in this passage.

Pause the video and have a think and a chat with your partner.

Well done, great job.

Based on what you've said, see if you can match up the early modern English on the left to the modern translation I've used in modern English on the right.

And that will help us to understand more about what's being said here.

Pause the video and see if you can match them up.

Well done, great job.

So I know not means, well done, I don't know.

What's he that follows here, is, who's that following along? So we wouldn't say, what's he? We'd say, who's he? The next one says, his name is Romeo and a Montague.

Well, that's easy.

His name is Romeo and he is a Montague.

And the last one, my only love sprung from my only hate.

Well, that kind of means the person I love, my only love, is a part of the family I hate, comes from, is sprung from the family I hate, my only hate.

So we can see, we can actually work out what these words mean by thinking hard about what might be being said.

And isn't it amazing how similar lots of language still is after 400 years so that we can understand it if we think really hard.

So we've now decoded the language, we've worked out what it means.

So what do we learn about Juliet's feelings, her emotions based on this scene? Pause the video and have a think.

Well done, good job.

We learn a lot, don't we? First of all, we learn that she didn't know that Romeo's a Montague when she kissed him because she had to ask her nurse to find out who it was.

We also learn that she's eager to know more about him because she sent the nurse to find out his name.

She could have just let him leave the ball without finding out who he was ever.

But she sends her nurse off to find out who this person she kissed was.

And then finally, we find out that she's concerned.

She's worried, isn't she? That he is a Montague.

She's supposed to hate him.

That final line, my only love sprung from my only hate, shows us straight away she's got conflicting emotions and she's worried about the fact that this person she's fallen in love with is in fact a Montague.

So here's the whole of what Juliet says to the nurse when she learns that Romeo's a Montague.

Let's see if we can decode some more early modern English.

So we've already seen the first line.

It says, my only love sprung from my only hate.

Then she continues, too early seen unknown and known too late.

Prodigious birth of love it is to me that I must love a loathed enemy.

And you might have noticed the rhyme there.

Notice that that e has an accent over it.

That makes us say loathed instead of loathed, which again is something they did in early modern English, which we don't do anymore today.

So let's find out the meaning.

Let's zoom in now on that second line.

Too early seen unknown and known too late.

So what does this mean? Well, let's look at this bit.

Seen unknown.

She's seen him, but he was unknown.

So she's saying I saw him, but he was unknown to me.

I didn't know that he was a Montague.

And then it says, known too late.

So why is it too late? Well, she's saying now that I know he's a Montague, it's already too late because I've already fallen in love with him.

So when she saw him, he was unknown.

But now that she knows he's a Montague, it's already too late to stop because she's already fallen in love.

Now let's focus on the third and the fourth lines.

We've got, prodigious birth of love it is to me that I must love a loathed enemy.

Now we need to know, to work out the meaning here, some of the meanings of these words which we don't use anymore.

So prodigious has a different meaning now to what it did here.

In those days, prodigious meant abnormal or unlucky.

So let's substitute that word in.

Unlucky birth of love it is to me.

Then, birth of love, might be your first time falling in love.

Then we've got loathe.

Well, you might know that loathe means you hate something.

So loathed means loathed.

So let's think now really carefully.

Prodigious birth of love must mean unlucky start to love.

So she's saying, what an unlucky start to my first love.

And then, that I must love a loathed enemy.

She's saying, the person I love is one of our hated enemies.

So she's saying, What a terrible, unlucky start to my first love, that the person I love is a loathed enemy, is someone from this family I hate, is a hated enemy.

So we've been able to work out the meaning of these lines by thinking really hard about the meaning of the words.

So which of the following are ideas that Juliet expresses in that dialogue she had where she spoke to the nurse? Pause the video and have a think.

Well done, good job.

So does she say Romeo is her first love? Yes, she does.

Birth of love, she referred to, didn't she? Does she say it's an unlucky start to their relationship? Yes, she said, prodigious birth of love, which in those days meant unlucky or abnormal.

C says she loathes Romeo because he's her enemy.

Well, no, she says he comes from a loathed enemy.

She says that her only love is sprung from her only hate, but she's not saying she hates Romeo.

And then D says it's too late to turn back now, I'm already in love.

So she says, doesn't she, too early seen unknown and known too late.

So now that she knows he's a Montague, it's already too late.

She's already in love.

So, yes, she definitely says that as well.

Really well done if you spotted those.

So let's do our first task for this lesson.

I want you to imagine you're Juliet at the end of this scene that we've just discussed.

Using the dialogue that we've talked about as your inspiration, I want you to say what you're feeling in this moment.

But instead of speaking in early modern English, as Juliet did, I want you to use normal modern English words that you would use yourself.

So I want you to give your version of what you might say as Juliet at this moment using modern English words, but based on what we've read in this section.

Pause the video and have a go at taking on the role of Juliet and speaking as she would here, showing all of those emotions that we've discussed.

Have a go.

Well done, really good job.

So here's an example of what you might have said in role as Juliet.

I can't believe that the only person I love comes from the one family in Verona that my whole family hates.

I had no idea who he was and now it's too late, I've fallen for him and there's no way I can go back now.

What a terrible start to my first time falling in love.

What are the chances that it would be with my family's sworn enemy? So I've tried to take the original early modern English, and I've rewritten it in a way that is much more like what we would say today, while keeping the meaning the same.

So she's expressing the same kind of ideas, but I've used modern English instead of early modern English.

Really well done for your ideas there as well.

So you've explored the scene at the ball.

Now let's turn to the balcony scene.

So we know that at the end of the ball, Juliet is going to be feeling some mixed emotions, isn't she? She's going to be feeling quite conflicted.

On the one hand, she already feels as though she's in love with Romeo.

But she is frustrated because he's a Montague, her family's enemy.

So she's got to decide whether she wants to pursue a romance with him or not.

So what might be the consequences for Juliet if she gets involved with a Montague? Pause the video and have a chat to the person next to you or a think on your own.

Well done, good ideas.

Now, we can't be sure, but maybe you thought of something like this.

First of all, her family could be very angry with her.

I think that's quite likely, isn't it? And they might even make her leave the family home.

And if they did that, then that would make her penniless.

She's reliant on her family, isn't she? She comes from a wealthy family and therefore she doesn't work.

So if she's forced to leave the family home, she's going to be in a very difficult situation.

So there's lots of pressure on one side against her being with Romeo.

But we know that she really feels strongly that she's already in love with him.

So again, she's in a difficult, conflicted situation.

So now let's talk about what actually happens after the ball.

We know that later on that night, Juliet's on her balcony and she's expressing her feelings about Romeo again, but she's talking aloud to herself.

So this is what we call the famous balcony scene in Romeo and Juliet.

So let's watch that scene and see what happens next.

So what have we seen happen in that famous scene? Well, first of all, Juliet begins by speaking to herself on the balcony.

And Romeo overhears what she's saying because he's crept over the orchard walls and he's now in their orchard listening to what she's saying.

And they talk, with Juliet worrying that her family will see Romeo.

And they agree that they're going to marry tomorrow.

And finally, Juliet has to go back inside because the nurse is waiting and Romeo goes away.

So remember, Juliet speaking about her feelings about Romeo, that's what he hears.

And then he talks to her and they confess their love for each other.

This is a really important moment in the play.

So which of the following might Juliet feel when she sees Romeo below her balcony standing in the orchard? Pause the video and have a think.

Well done, good job.

We could discuss the answer to this, but I think probably A, B and C are all relevant.

She's fearing for Romeo's safety.

She's fearing for her own safety.

And she's also feeling excitement.

So Juliet knows that Romeo would be in great danger if he was caught.

But she also doesn't want to be caught by the nurse herself, which could lead to her parents finding out.

And that could be dangerous for her too.

But she's clearly pleased to see him.

So I think she's definitely feeling some excitement as well.

We see no evidence, do we, that she's annoyed to see him there.

She's worried, but not annoyed.

Really well done for your thoughts there.

So to find out more about Juliet's emotions, we can of course look again at the play script.

So here's the famous first part that we're going to look at.

Juliet says, O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo? You might have heard that line before.

Now sometimes people get the meaning of this line wrong.

So let's see if we can work it out together.

So wherefore, that word we see there, is an early modern English way of saying the word why.

And then, art thou, is an early modern English way of saying, are you.

So let's substitute those words in.

O Romeo, Romeo, why are you Romeo? Why would Juliet ask, why are you Romeo? Pause the video and see what you think with the person next to you.

Well done, good thinking.

So she's showing her frustration that of everyone in the world, it had to be Romeo Montague that she fell in love with.

Why did it have to be him, an enemy, instead of any other person? So when she says, wherefore art thou Romeo, she's saying, why are you Romeo? Why did it have to be Romeo Montague that I fell in love with and not someone else? Really well done if you managed to work that out.

That means that you've interpreted a Shakespeare play better than many people in the world have done.

Good job.

So after that famous line, the play script continues like this.

Juliet says, deny thy father and refuse thy name or if thou will not, be but sworn my love, and I'll no longer be a Capulet.

OK, let's break down some of the words we need to know to understand this section.

First of all, thy means your.

So she's saying deny your father and refuse your name.

Then if you look at the second line, thou wilt not, means you will not.

So or if you will not, be but sworn my love.

If you're sworn as someone's love, you're saying that you love them.

And here, but means only.

Be only in love with me.

So let's see if we can substitute those words in and see what we've got.

Deny your father and refuse your name or if you will not, be only in love with me and I'll no longer be a Capulet.

What's Juliet asking Romeo to do? And what is she saying she would do? Pause the video and have a chat to the person next to you.

Well done for sharing your first thoughts there.

If you're not 100% confident yet, don't worry.

Let's do one more task before we talk about it.

Can you see if you can match the early modern English on the left to the modern translation on the right? Pause the video and have a go.

Well done, good thinking.

So let's look at the first one.

We said this would read, deny your father and refuse your name.

So what does that mean? Well, it really means go against your father and give up your name.

So give up being a Montague.

That's what Juliet's asking Romeo to do.

Then it says, or if thou wilt not.

We know that meant, or if you will not.

So that's that one.

And then, be but sworn my love, we said but meant only there.

So only be sworn in love with me.

So we could say that means, just say you love me.

And then D says, and I'll no longer be a Capulet.

So that means and I'll give up being a Capulet.

So were you correcting your idea about the meaning? Well let's put them in order, see what it sounds like.

Go against your father and give up your name or if you won't, just say you love me and I'll give up being a Capulet.

So what's Juliet saying here? Well she's begging Romeo, who doesn't know she can hear her, remember that, to give up his Montague name.

Or if he's not willing to do that, then she'll happily give up being a Capulet if he says he loves her.

So we've worked out the meaning by looking really closely and going line by line, and we can see what she's asking him to do, although she doesn't know he can hear her at this point.

Now here's another section of the play script from the balcony scene.

Juliet's now speaking directly to Romeo.

He can hear her now.

And she says, the orchard walls are high and hard to climb, and the place death, considering who thou art, if any of my kinsmen find thee here.

And that word kinsmen means family members.

So what emotion is Juliet showing here? And why does she feel that way? Pause the video and see if you can work it out.

Well done, good job.

She's scared, isn't she, that Romeo's going to be hurt by her family if they find him here.

She says, the place is death, considering who he is, considering who thou art.

In other words, because he's a Montague, he'll be killed if he's seen there.

Now, Romeo then begins to swear his love to Juliet.

And she then says the following words.

Well, do not swear.

Although I joy in thee, I have no joy of this contract tonight.

It is too rash, too unadvised, too sudden, too like the lightning, which doth cease to be, ere one can say it lightens.

Now, you might have noticed some parts there which made sense to you, but we need to break it down a bit more to fully understand it, don't we? So first of all, this word contract, it says, I have no joy of this contract tonight.

So here contract means making a commitment to each other.

So although I joy in thee, so take joy in thee, I have no joy of this commitment we're making tonight.

And then it says rash and unadvised, which both mean without too much thought.

It is too rash, too unadvised, too sudden.

And then we've got the word doth.

Too light the lightning which doth cease to be.

Doth means does and cease means stop and then it says ere, which means before.

Before one can say it lightens.

So too like the lightning which stops before one can say it lightens.

So which is the best summary of Juliet's words here? A says, I like you and we should make a commitment tonight.

Your love is like lightning, bright and powerful.

And B says, I like you, but we're moving too fast.

Our love is like lightning, it's gone before you can say it's lit anything.

Which one do you think is the best summary of what Juliet says? A or B? Pause the video and decide.

Well done, you're right.

It's B.

She's saying here, we're moving a bit too fast.

I take no joy in a commitment we make tonight because it's too rash, too unadvised, too sudden.

Everything's happening so suddenly.

And it's like lightning because it stops just as you can say it lights everything up.

So lightning is very fast, isn't it? It lights up everything and then it's gone.

So she's saying our love is too quick.

We're taking things too fast.

We need to slow down a little bit.

However, despite that Juliet then changes her mind and she tells Romeo that she would be happy to marry him tomorrow and she leaves him with a very famous pair of lines.

She says, Good night, good night.

Parting is such sweet sorrow that I shall say good night till it be morrow.

So parting means leaving.

Parting is such sweet sorrow, means leaving is such sweet sorrow.

And then morrow just means tomorrow.

So I'll say goodnight till it be tomorrow.

So why is parting sweet sorrow? Think carefully about those two words.

Pause the video and have a chat with the person next to you.

Why is Romeo leaving sweet sorrow? Well done, good ideas.

So we can link it to the idea of something being kind of good and bad at the same time, can't we? It's got good parts to it and bad parts to it.

There's sadness, but it's mixed in with happiness.

The sadness is about him leaving and the happiness is about the love that they're sharing together.

So we could also think of it this way.

We could say it's good or sweet to have someone who you love enough that it makes you full of sadness or sorrow when they leave.

So part of what creates the sorrow is the sweetness, is the fact that you love them.

So the fact that they're leaving causes you sorrow, but you have the love that's creating the sweetness as well.

So can you think of another situation in which you might feel sweet sorrow like Juliet or that mixture of good and bad emotions or happiness and sadness at the same time? Pause the video and have a think of a situation you can think of which matches that sweet sorrow.

Well done, good ideas.

Here's Alex's idea.

He says, maybe leaving primary school.

You're excited about going on to new experiences, but you feel sad about leaving behind all the people and things that make your primary school special.

So it's sweet sorrow because you've got the excitement, the sweetness and the sorrow of leaving behind your friends and maybe your teachers as well.

Here's what Izzy says.

Yes, or maybe when you make a friend on holiday.

So you're glad that you have them with you for a short time, but you know that you won't be able to see them when you leave.

So you've got the sweetness, the friendship and the sorrow, which is leaving behind that friend when you are no longer on holiday.

So these two examples show us the idea of sweet sorrow as well.

A mixture of happiness and sadness in the same situation.

And that's what Juliet is feeling.

She's happy she's had this moment with Romeo and she's sad that he's now leaving.

But she knows, of course, that they're planning to marry tomorrow.

So Juliet's experienced a range of emotions over the course of this one night, hasn't she? And I want you to imagine now that she goes to sleep thinking about what's happened.

What dreams might she have about the future? As she lies in bed asleep, she's dreaming about the future.

What might she be dreaming of? Maybe she might have some nightmares.

What nightmares might she have about the risks that are involved in what she's doing? I'm going to draw an image of a sleeping Juliet with some dream bubbles out coming from her head, illustrating all the worries and the hopes she might have.

So what are these dreams about her future with Romeo maybe? And what are the nightmares she might have about bad things happening as a result of their romance? So put yourself in Juliet's place, draw that picture of her and see if you can imagine her dreams as she lies in bed after the balcony scene on this night.

Pause the video and have a go at drawing your picture.

Well done, great job.

Now I'm not going to show you a picture, but I'm going to give you some ideas which you might have covered in your images.

Maybe you showed her dreaming about her wedding to Romeo tomorrow.

Maybe you showed her dreaming about the happy life they might have together, being wildly in love with each other.

Maybe you might have shown a nightmare about her family finding out about Romeo and even throwing her out of the house.

Or maybe she might dream about her family hurting or killing Romeo, and you could have drawn that too.

And maybe she might dream about having some uncertainty within her.

Maybe the lightning bolt idea will come back to her in a dream.

So the idea that this is going too fast, that it's like a lightning bolt, their love together might come up in her dream too.

So maybe she'd have a dream of a storm where there's a sudden flash of lightning, which then goes to dark.

Really well done for your imaginative ideas there.

You really captured well the emotions Juliet might be feeling as she prepares to be married the next day.

Good job.

Let's summarise our learning in this lesson.

We've said that although Shakespeare's play scripts are written in early modern English, which can be challenging to read, we can work out the meaning by reading closely once we've been given some background information.

We know that the feud between the Montagues and the Capulets is the core of the plot in Romeo and Juliet.

And we know that Romeo and Juliet fall in love at the ball, and they agree to marry the next day, despite knowing that their families will disapprove.

And we can say that Juliet will experience a range of emotions during this night, including fear, uncertainty, and also excitement.

Really well done for your work in this lesson.

I'd love to see you again in the next one.

Goodbye.
