Poet Hollie McNish is joined by beatbox poet Testament to explore the different sorts of conflict portrayed in the play and discuss how the violence sucks everybody in. They’ll help you to prepare for your GCSE English literature exam where you’ll need to understand and write about key themes in the play. Romeo is a Capulet, Juliet a Montague, but they just want to be together. Their families hate each other and like every other citizen of their city of Verona the lovers are reluctant players in the conflict around them. Fights break out over nothing, insults are flung, people’s lives are taken and we never learn why. Everybody is a victim and everybody suffers. Find out how to choose that all important quote for your exam. Suitable for: AQA, Edexcel, Eduqas, OCR. More GCSE revision on Romeo & Juliet - https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/subjects/zckw2hv
