Mrs Schofield’s GCSE Annotated

said Portia to Antonio in which
of Shakespeare's Comedies? Who killed his wife,

Whose blade was drawn which led to Tybalt's death?

above the weeping, laughing earth; how we
make prayers of it. Nothing will come of nothing:
speak again. Said by which King? You may begin.
