eep the context. The only scene you can change the plot in

is if you rewrite Act 5 Scene 3 to have a happy ending.

Otherwise, the purpose of rewriting is to use modern

language to replace the Shakespearean language. This

Shakespeare, Spark Notes, etc. Plagiarism results in a

ZERO for the ENTIRE PROJECT!

“

I Will Wait” – Mumford & Sons: This would play as Romeo is leaving

Juliet’s room in Act 3 Scene 5. The lyrics are about waiting forever for

the one the singer loves. Juliet and Romeo are promising each other to

wait for the time they can be together.
