Comparing Danglar In Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet

In Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, impetuosity between Romeo and Juliet will ultimately be the cause of their deaths. The passion between the two caused them to rush into foolish adolescent events. Romeo's and Juliet's burning love is to blame for their fast yet fatal marriage. Shortly after the unpublished wedding it all goes down hill, Romeo kills Juliet's faithful cousin, Tybalt, in a brutal sword fight. With Romeo's action his punishment is exile from Verona, and to leave his unseen faithful wife.

Madame Defarge is first introduced as a stern woman with a rather ominous habit of knitting, with no indication of her bloodthirsty habits. However, it is later noted that Madame Defarge is actually knitting the names of the victims of the Revolution, and we find out that she wants to eliminate the aristocracy because the Marquis and his brother raped her sister and stabbed and killed her brother-in-law. She eloquently describes her destroyed childhood to the Vengeance and her husband at the tavern.“Defarge, that sister of the mortally wounded boy upon the ground was my sister, that husband was my sister’s husband, that unborn child was their child, that father was my father, those dead are my dead, and that summons to answer for those things descends to me (346)”.

Just like in the story of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, there are actual true events very simaler to some of the parts in the story. In 2005, 2 families by the name of Soliz and Ortiz had a violent breakout including guns, injuring 6 people. You will find that the story of Romeo are relateable to the article, “Six Wounded in Fla. ‘Romeo and Juliet’ Firefight”.

Madame Defarge, a very bold but cruel revolutionary, is very sadistic towards nobles, especially the Evrémondes, because of how the family had treated her family in the past. The woman who had been stolen away by the younger twin was Madame Defarge’s sister, so the Evrémondes tore her family apart. She had been waiting to get her revenge on the family her whole life, and once the revolution starts, she seizes her chance. The very kind and generous son of the older brother, Charles Darnay, travels back to France from England to try and save his employee, and she immediately takes the opportunity to put him into jail. After multiple trials he is found guilty and condemned to death via La Guillotine. Although Charles Darnay has never actually wronged her, “it was nothing to her, that an innocent man has to die for the sins of his forefathers; she saw not him, but them” (281). Madame Defarge is not satisfied by Darnay’s death, however, and wants to kill his wife, Lucie Manette, and their daughter. It was this inhumanity that leads to her death. Madame Defarge goes to the Manette’s home to try and find Lucie in the act of a Guillotine-worthy crime, mourning a Guillotine victim. Instead of finding Lucie, however, she finds her housemaid, Miss Pross. Miss Pross and Madame Defarge begin to fight because Madame Defarge wants to find Lucie, and eventually she draws a gun, but “Miss

She witnesses firsthand all of the hardships the French commoners are enduring and it fuels her rage and anger toward the nobility. Madame Defarge channels all of this anger into exacting her revenge, but we cannot help pitying her for her wretched childhood. We comprehend the reasons behind the madness, but that does not justify her actions.

Romeo, his name used as a metaphor for young love, his story written by Shakespeare is one of his most famous. Romeo is a lover not a fighter. His story is hundreds of years old but relatable to nearly everyone. Romeo has been used to show the danger of jumping into things too quickly and that love has no bounds. His actions, his words, and the actions and words of those closest to him show his true personality.

Honourable judges, respected teachers, and my fellow students. A very good morning to you all. Today I will be speaking on the topic, "O, I am fonrtune's fool!"

    Madame Defarge has alliances with Monsieur Defarge and all of the Jacques, or revolutionaries, that her husband aligns himself with. Monsieur Defarge and the

Shakespeare’s ‘Romeo and Juliet’ is a story that will live on forever in the world of literature. This story illustrates how two people can have an instant connection but not really love and because of the dramatic way it’s portrayed it may send a false message to many youth today. I feel that the way Shakespeare portrayed love in this story is overdramatized and does not reflect how it would or should happen in real life. In my personal opinion, love is something that you have to work on. In the story, Romeo and Juliet constantly say how much they love each other and can’t live without each other, however, I feel that you should know someone for a while before professing your love and undivided attention. I also believe that Romeo and Juliet are much too young to be having these feeling and actively pursuing them, I feel the feelings between Romeo and Juliet have is more like lust than love.

Please Know that I make haste with the remedies going on in the walls of Verona. Today and tomorrow may look burdensome and dreary, being then the fool of time and fortune as the stars have made thee. Yet still, as I have promised, your fair Juliet shall come to thee once more. For Paris stands not in the way of thy love, nor the lord or lady Capulet kin. Make knowing of yourself the pact array, for your fairest one’s path to you is through chimera and gray. She hath taken a vial, upon my prescription, that will stream through her core. The concoction will cause illusioned death, of the coldest persuasion. To the truth of truths, she lives, yes, but no warm lips or swell cheeks shall attest upon this fact. Her discovery, in such

When Romeo expresses to Juliet that he dislikes his own name, it is expressed in the form of a metaphor. This is due to Romeo comparing his name to a piece of paper. In other words, he is expressing to Juliet that he would without hesitation, tear the paper with his name on it. He is trying to show Juliet that he would disown his family name to make her happy, just as easy as if he were to tear a piece of paper. What Romeo says shows how much they deeply care for each other because he would get rid of his name with the same ease as tearing a piece of paper, in return for her heart.

I think Juliet, in the book romeo and Juliet are. overreacting a little too much. Juliet was willing to fake her own death and of go through with the plan . Why didn't she consider just to run away. faking your death is doing a lot more than when she can just run away with romeo and end with the same answer. She thinks death will save her from from singing and remarrying while married. When she does do this she made everything worse when she could just go to the town that romeo is now living. By doing this she could push her mother and father over the edge and push them to their own suicide. I think that her marrying romeo so fast and sudden is mad but with this she is being forced to marry again knowing how this story ends she kills herself

In a following chapter, “Darkness”, the sinister Madame Defarge declares her desire for revenge on Charles Darnay and his family, since it is revealed that the peasants were her brother and sister. These and other secrets throughout A Tale of Two Cities are frequently accompanied by the symbol of

With each letter in Les Liaisons dangereuses, Choderlos de Laclos advances a great many games of chess being played simultaneously. In each, the pieces—women of the eighteenth-century Parisian aristocracy—are tossed about mercilessly but with great precision on the part of the author. One is a pawn: a convent girl pulled out of a world of simplicity and offered as an entree to a public impossible to sate; another is a queen: a calculating monument to debauchery with fissures from a struggle with true love. By examining their similarities and differences, Laclos explores women’s constitutions in a world that promises ruin for even the most formidable among them. Presenting the reader glimpses of femininity from a young innocent’s daunting debut to a faithful woman’s conflicted quest for heavenly virtue to another’s ruthless pursuit of vengeance and earthly pleasures, he insinuates the harrowing journey undertaken by every girl as she is forced to make a name for herself as a woman amongst the tumult of a community that machinates at every turn her downfall at the hands of the opposite sex. In his careful presentation of the novel’s female characters, Laclos condemns this unrelenting subjugation of women by making clear that every woman’s fate in such a society is a definitive and resounding checkmate.

Throughout the story of Roxana, the union of marriage is continuously coming into play. Roxana continues to avoid the act of marriage and the wifely role, which she habitually equates to servitude, slavery and imprisonment. She declares, ‘a woman [gives] herself entirely away from herself, in marriage” (2427). Roxana truly believes that a woman loses her identity in marriage. Regardless of her class in society, she is more equal to the servants than to her own husband.
