If this is for homework you really should do the work yourself.  Everyone thinks Shakespeare is confusing because of the complicated language, but there really are some fun stuff in his plays, and some of it isn't that different then todays movies.  Shakespere used a lot of sex, violence, and paranormal.  The trick is don't read it.  It was never meant to be read directly. It wasn't even written down originally, just memorized by actors. Go rent Romeo and Julitte, and see it performed. If they are good actors they will convey it in a way that's easier to understand. Another good resource is: http://absoluteshakespeare.com\n\nAny, Act II starts out with the famous "balcony scene" where Juliet wishes Romeo wasn't Montague.  He overhears it and says he loves her so much he'll swear off the name. They complain for a while about dealing with the problem of being from feuding families, then fter some shameless flirting Romeo proposes.  Juliet says she'll think about it and send her nurse to answer tomorrow.  Romeo goes and tells Friar Laurence what he's done and the Friar accuses Romeo of just trying to get into Juliet's pants, expecially since yesterday he was telling the Friar he was in love with Rosalind.  Be he agrees to wed them because he thinks it will solve the feud between the families.  In the mean time Rome's friends give him a hard time, Juliet's Nurse agrees to help, and ends with them secretly getting married.\n\nFor an even funnier version rent The Complete Works of Wllm Shkspr (abbridged) by the Reduced Shakespere company.  Also rend the recent Romeo and Juliet movie by Baz Luhrmann (the guy that did Moulin Rouge)

The whole play is about how humans are at the mercy of fate!  This is why the harder Oedipus tries to deny his fate, the more he is drawn into it.

Shakespeare was a playwrite, not a stage designer, so use any scene that is appropriate.

the "stars" are a symbol of fate. the play starts w/ 2 "star-crossed" lovers. no matter how they try and plan to deny their fate- and fall in love/ live happily ever after- they are doomed.

If you understand that the word "rhetoric" means to use language effectively and persuasively, you will understand that both Brutus and Antony were trying to persuade the crowd.  In Brutus's case, he was trying to make the crowd understand that the death of Caesar was necessary for the general good of Rome (he would abuse his power).  Antony, on the other hand, was trying to make the crowd understand that Caesar was a great leader and the actions of the conspirators was unjustified.  Further, Antony's other objective was to have the crowd turn on Brutus.

Prologue\n\nArguably Shakespeare's most famous play begins with a Prologue which establishes that this play will be a tragedy and that the children of two feuding families, Romeo of the Montague family and Juliet of the Capulet family, will both love and die in the course of this play...\n\nAct I.\n\nSampson and Gregory, servants to the Capulets and Abraham and Balthasar, servants to the Montague family start a street fight, which is joined by Benvolio (Montague) and Tybalt (Capulet). Escalus, the Prince of Verona who angrily learns of this fight, declares a death penalty for further feuding between the two families. Romeo we learn is lovesick; Rosaline, the object of his affections will not requite (return) his love. His friend Benvolio tells Romeo to look at other girls...\n\nMeanwhile Capulet is keen for Paris to marry his daughter Juliet and plans a party to be held later that night. Romeo and friends decide to turn up uninvited, Romeo hoping to see Rosaline, whom he still pines for...\n\nLady Capulet discusses the idea of marriage to Paris with Juliet. Juliet keeps her options open. The Nurse wishes Juliet every possible happiness...\n\nMeanwhile Mercutio attempts to cheer a lovesick Romeo up, telling him to be rough with love if need be.\n\nAt the Capulet's party, Romeo who is disguised by a masque (mask), falls in love with Juliet on sight. Capulet stops Tybalt from attacking Romeo at his party, telling him there will be other opportunities. Both Romeo and Juliet learn that they are each enemies of the other's family... A Prologue sung by a choir dramatizes the conflict both Romeo and Juliet feel between their love for one another and their loyalty to their respective families.\n\nAct II.\n\nIgnoring the danger, Romeo scales the Capulet's wall to be near Juliet, the woman he cannot forget... Unnoticed in Juliet's orchard, Romeo learns of Juliet's love for him. After declaring their feelings for each other, the two decide to marry. Juliet will send Romeo a messenger in the morning to make plans for their wedding...\n\nThe very next day, we meet Romeo's friend, Friar Laurence. He wonders how Romeo can forget Rosaline so quickly but agrees to marry the two since he hopes this marriage it will end the long running Montague / Capulet feud...\n\nRomeo catches up with his friends Mercutio and Benvolio. Juliet's messenger, the Nurse, arrives and the wedding is set for later that day. The Nurse brings Romeo "cords" or ropes which will allow Romeo to climb into Juliet's bedchamber as her husband later that night... Act II ends with Romeo and Juliet's marriage.\n\nAct III.\n\nBenvolio and Mercutio (both Montagues) meet Tybalt (Capulet). Tybalt attempts to provoke Romeo into fighting. Mercutio fights Tybalt and is killed. Romeo then kills Tybalt. Escalus, the Prince of Verona banishes Romeo from Verona threatening death should he ever return. Juliet learns of Romeo killing Tybalt and despite being torn between her loyalty for her family and Romeo, mourns her husband Romeo's banishment.\n\nRomeo learns of the banishment order, realizing he will not be able to see Juliet again. Friar Laurence suggests Romeo go to Juliet's bed chamber to comfort his wife... Capulet, who does not know of Romeo and Juliet's marriage, decides that the marriage of Juliet to Paris must now proceed, bidding his wife to make Juliet aware of Paris' love for her. The day of the marriage has been decided; it will be Thursday.\n\nWe learn that Romeo has spent the night with his Juliet. Juliet who is now already secretly married to Romeo, learns that she is to marry Paris. She tries to fight her father's wishes, failing to dissuade him. Juliet decides to commit suicide if all else fails...\n\nAct IV.\n\nParis reveals that the wedding will occur on Thursday. Juliet is cold to Paris. Friar Laurence tells Juliet to take a potion simulating death, allowing Romeo to take her away, unopposed to Mantu
