Tragic Flaw

In Shakespeare's tragedies, critics agree that the main character demonstrates a tragic flaw; a flaw that brings him to his doom. Generally, the main character is royalty who would be successful if not for one character trait (i.e. too ambitious, too timid, too forgiving, etc). Romeo and Juliet is unique in that the play has two main characters. Choose either Romeo or Juliet and identify and explain his or her tragic flaw; the one character trait that brings the tragic end to both lives. Support your ideas by referring to specific plot points in the play.

Deception

For this week, I want you to consider deception. Have you ever deceived someone the way Juliet does? She tells those around her what they want to hear, but continues to lie to them by withholding the truth. Write about a time when you either deceived or were deceived by someone. Explain the circumstances that led to the deceptive behavior and the consequences of the deception.
When responding to one of your classmate's posts, comment on whether you think the deception he or she encountered was necessary or not. Explain your reasoning.
