Death is one of the most common themes in Romeo and Juliet. Shakespeare portrays death in a very unusual manner, with a total of six people dying of unnatural causes in the span of just a few days. He depicts it in a very patterned way, conveying the messege that life will ultimately end. Public deaths, such as those of Mercutio and Tybalt, along with private deaths, such as those of Romeo, Juliet, and Lady Montague are shown, and, interestingly enough, their manner of death reflects their personality. He also suggests that death is a form of punishment for sin.
Any suggestions, comments, etc.? I'm going in to edit it with my teacher tomorrow (it's due Monday), but I'd really like to have it as best as I can before I go in
