Including 'Two households, both alike in dignity', 'O brawling love! O loving hate!', 'My only love sprung from my only hate!', 'wherefore art thou Romeo?', 'These violent delights have violent ends', 'A plague o' both your houses!', 'O, I am fortune's fool!', 'Hang thee, young baggage! disobedient wretch!', 'Then I defy you, stars!', 'Thus with a kiss I die' and 'For never was a story of more woe'.
Eduqas's Shakespeare questions don't mark context: the extract question (15 marks) and the whole-play essay (20 marks, plus 5 for spelling, punctuation, vocabulary and sentence structures) both mark response and analysis of language, form and structure (AO1 and AO2). Use context only in a phrase that supports an interpretation, and say which question each worked paragraph practises.
