- Title
GOOD TURNS IN ROMEO AND JULIET: GRACE, FORGIVENESS, AND ENDINGS.
- Authors
Patrick, Patricia
- Abstract
The article focuses on the motif of turning in writer William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" examining how the themes of exchange and peripeteia undermine the fatalism suggested by the prologue. Topics include the exploration of turning as an alternative to tragedy through themes of conversion and forgiveness, the connection between the meanings of turn in the play, and examination of a shared language of exchange in context of social, economic, and religious concerns in early modern England.
