We first studied Juliet as an icon or representative of Western romantic love by noting the degree of sacrifice she makes in the name of love. I then addressed the definition of archetype and explained how the story of Romeo and Juliet has served as a model for many other stories and plays such as West Side Story . Next, we worked on locating and writing about Shakespeare's use of imagery in describing Juliet's feigned death and Shakespeare's use of dramatic irony in Act IV. I assisted Aiden in writing about imagery and explained how metaphor ,simile, and personification create imagery.
