4. Character Maps!
Because Verona is full of so many rich, complex characters, it can be a little hard to keep track of them all. For the next two days, we're going to create character maps that illustrate the complex relationships between the characters in the play so far.
For this assignment, your job will be to create a map that includes all 20 of the characters we've met so far in the play (listed on your paper).
In addition to the character's names, you will need to include at least 20 arrows with labels indicating the relationships between the characters. (For example, you might draw an arrow between Prince and Mercutio with "kinsmen/family" underneath, or one between Romeo and Juliet that says "star-crossed lovers/secret husband and wife.”)

5. Character Maps!
In addition, every character needs some sort of visual element to represent them. For example, Romeo might be a heart, Capulet might be an angry face or a party hat, etc
For five central characters of your choosing, provide one significant quote from the original text that tells us something important about their personality or character. Include the quote underneath the character’s name along with the Act, Scene, and Line Number.
Underneath each quote, provide a brief analysis (2- 3 sentences): Why did you choose the quote? What does it show us about who your character is?
