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?
Answer
A
“Who is the most romantic character in Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet? ”
B
“What are some specific examples of love causing violence in Romeo and Juliet ?”
C
“What are some symbols used by Shakespeare to depict love and violence?”
D
“Who were the most violent characters in this classic Shakespeare play?”
Explanation
The student makes a claim that love can cause violence in Romeo and Juliet. A useful follow-up asks for evidence that supports that specific claim, so “What are some specific examples of love causing violence in Romeo and Juliet?” is the best choice. The other questions focus on romance, violent characters, or symbols rather than asking for examples of the stated theme.
