Character Profiles

During our study of Romeo and Juliet, you will need to work on developing your understanding of the various characters.

To start doing this, you should consider putting together character profiles for the central characters.

Consider the following elements in your profiles:

1. Basic overview of the character: age, family connections, relationships, etc
2. The character's role in the play
3. The themes that the character helps to display
4. Pertinent quotes that are relevant to the character - think about not only what the character says but also about what other characters say about them. Make sure that with your quotes you also reference.
