"The Balcony Scene":

Juliet's balcony is never actually mentioned in the play, although it is obvious that Romeo is quite enamored of it. For some lively discussion, ask your teacher how big Juliet's balcony really was.

For extra credit, write a paper, discussing the possible relevance of the architecture to the plays of the Elibethan Theatre. Discuss important building structures. Include references, if possible, to the size and scope of her "bay window." Analyze the significance of Juliet's "curves" and her "buttresses."
