1. In Act 3, Scene 1 Tybalt is killed by Romeo as the two battle in the streets of Verona. In a letter to Juliet, assume the role of Romeo, who has the unhappy challenge of having to explain to his new wife how it came to pass that he killed her cousin just hours after marrying her. In addition to explaining what happened, as Romeo, your job in writing this letter is to make sure you are persuading Juliet of something. Think hard before you write: what would Romeo try to persuade Juliet of at this point in the play, and how would he make his argument convincing to her? What appeals to logic and her emotions would he use?
