Romeo and Juliet: Plot Overview In the streets of Verona another brawl breaks out between the servants of the feuding noble families of Capulet and Montague. Benvolio, a Montague, tries to stop the fighting, but is himself embroiled when the rash Capulet, Tybalt, arrives on the scene. After citizens outraged by the constant violence beat back the warring factions, Prince Escalus, the ruler of Verona, attempts to prevent any further conflicts between the families by decreeing death for any individual who disturbs the peace in the future. Romeo, the son of Montague, runs into his cousin Benvolio, who had earlier seen Romeo moping in a grove of sycamores. After some prodding by Benvolio, Romeo confides that he is in love with Rosaline, a woman who does not return his affections. Meanwhile, Paris, a kinsman of the Prince, seeks Juliet’s hand in marriage. Romeo and Benvolio, still discussing Rosaline, encounter the Capulet servant bearing the list of invitations. The feast begins.

The film is about a German businessman who saves the lives of hundreds of Jewish refugees during the Second World War, by employing them in his factories. Q: Is it in colour or black and white? Almost the entire film is in black and white. Q: Does anyone remember any of the colour moments? The most famous one is when Schindler sees a little Jewish girl in a red coat. Although it was unintentional, the character is coincidentally similar to Roma Ligocka who was known in the Kraków Ghetto for her red coat. We will come back to the Girl in the Red Coat in a moment.

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? (Sonnet 18) read poems by this poet William Shakespeare was born on April 23, 1564, in Stratford-on-Avon. The son of John Shakespeare and Mary Arden, he was probably educated at the King Edward VI Grammar School in Stratford, where he learned Latin and a little Greek and read the Roman dramatists. At eighteen, he married Anne Hathaway, a woman seven or eight years his senior. Together they raised two daughters: Susanna, who was born in 1583, and Judith (whose twin brother died in boyhood), born in 1585. Little is known about Shakespeare’s activities between 1585 and 1592. In 1594, Shakespeare joined the Lord Chamberlain’s company of actors, the most popular of the companies acting at Court. While Shakespeare was regarded as the foremost dramatist of his time, evidence indicates that both he and his contemporaries looked to poetry, not playwriting, for enduring fame. In his poems and plays, Shakespeare invented thousands of words, often combining or contorting Latin, French, and native roots. Poetry
