With Romeo's action his punishment is exile from Verona, and to leave his unseen faithful wife.

In the early stages of Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare conveys love in many different ways. Love is shown as being imperfect, such as bawdy love, unrequited love and fatherly and maternal love, this contrasts greatly to Romeo and Juliet’s pure, perfect and requited love, and makes it seem all the more true before it is shown to be deadly.

Teacher and classmates, A few weeks ago, I questioned Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet wondering why, why is this literature still prominent in today's society? The foreign tongue it is written in, the seemingly basic and boring plot and the lack of action all combined being regarded as one of man’s greatest achievements didn't quite equate. However through my studies of the question, How effectively does Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet shape our notion of love, I realised. Throughout the text lies defining moments of romantic, fickle and fraternal love and the complexity of the text allows for both interpretation while maintaining relatability. However our perception of love, the strong feeling of affection, has differed immensely since 1595. Romeo and Juliet, a story over four centuries old is the foundation of love and romance throughout history.

Though some may simply know romantic love as an intense bond between individuals devoted to one another, its effects in reality are not always as beautiful as the concept. Particularly when it is frowned upon by society and the people involved also swim against the current, the consequences of this type of love can be damaging to others outside the romance. In William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, the actions of the young lovers in their desire to be together not only steer the course of their lives, but also those of their friends, families, and other citizens in the city. The unfortunate series of events following Romeo and Juliet’s choice to reach beyond traditional gender roles, a standard courtship, and their established social networks reveal the importance of complying with these norms. By highlighting the chaos in Verona on the path to Romeo and Juliet’s eventual demise, Shakespeare suggests that intense romantic love that threatens relationships and expectations in the established social order leads to tragedy.

Lust and Love, two of the most confusing words in human history. In Romeo and Juliet William Shakespeare tells a story of two “star-crossed lovers” who tragically took their lives trying to avoid not being together. A sad woeful story. But they were never in love. They were in Lust almost the exact opposite of being in love.

What is love? Is it an object? Is it a feeling? Is it even attainable? Love is everything, it is an object, it is an emotion, and it cannot be bought, stolen, given. Love can only be found. Love is discovered in the most unthinkable places during the most unimaginable times. It can never be predicted who you fall in love with or when you do but all you do know is that you are in love and you would give anything for that person, and for your love to always stay resilient through all other obstacles and distractions. In Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, Montague’s and Capulet’s are know and expected to hate each other until the miracle of love presented its self. Romeo is a Montague and Juliet is a Capulet. They both fell in love when

In William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare opens with two servants of the Capulets explaining their hatred towards the house of Montague, their mortal enemies. A fight between the two houses soon breaks out and the prince must remind them once more that he will not permit more fighting between the two. The story proceeds to pan over to Romeo the lovesick heir of the Montagues. To cheer him up, his friends joke with him and then a golden opportunity arrives. A servant of the Capulet house requires someone to help him read out the list of people he needed to fetch for a grand party at the Capulet household. The servant did not realize it was a Montague whom he allowed to go to the party. Meanwhile, Paris and Lord Capulet are discussing his marriage to Juliet.

Compare and contrast Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice” and “Romeo and Juliet” by William Shakespeare. portray Romance During the Elizabethan era women were submissive to men and they were raised not to consider otherwise.

I think you should let Romeo and Juliet be together for the following reasons. One, if Romeo and Juliet can love each other despite being from two families that hate each other then who is to say the two families can't get along just enough to let them be together. Two, if Romeo and Juliet were still here and did get married they could have brought there two families closer on a mutual agreement for the couple. Three, Romeo and Juliet are dead, they both killed themselves over each other because you didn't let them be together.
