Part One: Literary Analysis
Please reference the last lines of William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet for the following questions.
William Shakespeare ends Romeo and Juliet’s story with this observation:
316 A glooming peace this morning with it brings.
317 The sun for sorrow will not show his head.
318 Go hence to have more talk of these sad things.
319 Some shall be pardoned and some punished.
320 For never was a story of more woe
321 Than this of Juliet and her Romeo.
** Gloom = a state of depression
