Answer: After Tybalt kills Mercutio, the mood of Romeo and Juliet changes.

Sentence Fluency Revise the following sentence to combine ideas and

make your writing more interesting. In the beginning of Act III, the mood of Romeo and

Juliet is playful. After Tybalt kills Mercutio the mood changes from playful to serious.

Citing Shakespeare In quoting shorter passages in linear form, you still need to

indicate line breaks when Shakespeare is writing in verse: Othello recalls, "Upon this hint I spake: / She lov'd me for the dangers I had pass'd, / And I lov'd her that she did pity them" (I.iii.166-168).

When quoting four or more lines from Shakespeare, normally you should use block quotation:

Richard III tells his troops,

Remember whom you are to cope withal: A sort of vagabonds, rascals, and runaways, A scum of Britains and base lackey peasants, Whom their o'ercloyed country vomits forth To desperate adventures and assur'd destruction. (V.iii.315-319)

Use the Act/scene/lines Notice punctuation.

In conclusion……. Weakness in concluding statements……

That is why Romeo is a static character.

For these reasons the theme is power of love.

This is why the mood changes. You do not have that many words---why waste them? Possible revisions:

Romeo’s failure to think before he acts in all situations, positive or negative, makes Romeo a static character.

The power of love drives the plot of Romeo and Juliet to its inevitable end, the deaths of Romeo and Juliet.

With the deaths of Mercutio and Tybalt the mood of the play turns to one of anguish that ultimately leads to the tragic end of Romeo and Juliet.
