19. Romeo and Juliet Context List anything that you think you already know about the time period that “Romeo and Juliet” is set in.

20. The Setting It is generally believed that the play is based on a real Italian love story from the 3 rd Century. The ‘real families’ are the Capeletti and the Montecci families. Shakespeare wrote his version in 1594 which was based on Arthur Brooke’s poem of 1562. This period was ‘The Elizabethan Era’ which was also known as ‘The Renaissance’. A time of significant change in the fields of religion, politics, science, language and the arts.

22. The Court The King and Queen Princes, Princesses Dukes and Duchesses Knights and Ladies In the tradition of Elizabethan Society, men were higher than women!

23. Love Love and Relationships were not “conducted” in the way that we expect today! For those in the Court, Love was something that was subject to rules and traditions. Marriages were arranged by parents. Children were chaperoned at all times. Children did not always have the freedom to choose who they would spend their life with and have children with. Plus, marriage happened at a much younger age – as young as 12 (for girls) was totally acceptable!

24. Religion Romeo & Juliet was set in a ‘catholic’ society with a strong belief in damnation for mortal sin. It was a very religious period. Suicide and bigamy were both considered to be mortal sins. Shakespeare was writing following ‘The Reformation’. This was when England became a protestant nation, having broken away from from papal control by Henry VIII. Going against your family was seen as betraying God!

25. Family Many Shakespeare plays show conflict between parents and children. The father was the undisputed head of the household. Women had no rights or authority in law. They could not own property or money, but could influence their husbands. Children were regarded as ‘property’ – and could be given in marriage to a suitable partner. Often a political or financial transaction, to secure and retain wealth. It was not unusual to be married very young. In high society, children were often raised by a ‘wet nurse’ and did not have a strong bond with parents. Question for Later: How do we see this evidence of this in the play?

26. Academic Writing – Two to Three Paragraphs How is the Elizabethan and Jacobean society in which Shakespeare was writing in reflected in the play Romeo and Juliet?
