Question

Mr. Shae’s class is having a discussion about the writings of Shakespeare. One student says, "One theme found in Romeo and Juliet is that love can cause violence. Although the play is a famous love story, it is actually very violent.”

Which would be an appropriate follow-up question to ask this student?

“Who is the most romantic character in Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet?”
“What are some specific examples of love causing violence in Romeo and Juliet?”
“Who were the most violent characters in this classic Shakespeare play?”
“What are some symbols used by Shakespeare to depict love and violence?”

Answer 1

“What are some specific examples of love causing violence in Romeo and Juliet?”

This question asks the student to support their claim with evidence from the play, which is the most appropriate follow-up.
