Comparing Romeo And Juliet

As Juliet awaits for Romeo to arrive, the Nurse rushes into her room and tells her the awful news about her cousin’s death. “This is that banished haughty Montague. That murder'd my love’s cousin-- with which grief...Condemned villain, I do apprehend thee. Obey, and go with me; for thou must die (5.3.49-57)”. With these harsh works, Juliet expresses her sadness for the death of Tybalt, but in reality she is heartbroken by Romeo’s banishment from the town of Verona.

Romeo and Juliet both committed suicide with the news that their loved one was dead. Act 3 scene 1 has continuous decisions made with the heart instead of the mind. Tybalt decided to dare Romeo for a duel with so much anger built up in his heart against the Montagues. Mercutio is filled with so much hatred towards the Capulets in his heart that he decides to take Romeo’s place when Romeo declines Tybalt’s duel. Romeo goes to say, “Tybalt, the reason that I have to love thee doth much excuse the appertaining rage to such a greeting. Villain am I none. Therefore farewell. I see thou knowst me not.”(3.1.65-68). Romeo loves Tybalt due to the fact that he is now family and his heart turns down the duel. When mercutio is slain by the hands of Tybalt, Romeo is engulfed with rage. “ Now, Tybalt, take the “villain” back again that late thou gavest me, for mercutio’s soul is but a little way above our heads, staying for thine to keep him company. Either thou or I, or both, must go with him.”(3.1.132-136).With Romeo’s heart drowned in sadness and anger over mercutio, romeo doesn’t use his brain and he kills Tybalt. Overall all of the decisions made with the heart is what lead the the untimely death of the two star crossed lovers, 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 Shortly after the unpublished wedding it all goes down hill, Romeo kills Juliet's faithful cousin, Tybalt, in a brutal sword fight.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.

In the tragedy 'Romeo and Juliet', Shakespeare presents the inner struggles of Romeo and Juliet, the two protagonists as one of the main themes. This is clearly shown at the end of Act 3 Scene 2 when Juliet receives the news that Romeo has been banished and Tybalt has been killed. Juliet is distraught at the conflict of her loyalties. Should she express love for her family or should she express love for Romeo? By using many different language features, such as oxymorons, paradox, antithesis and dramatic irony, Shakespeare effectively displays Juliet's conflicting emotions. Later in the play, Shakespeare uses the betrayal by adults to again show the inner struggles of Romeo and Juliet.

William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet focus on the two young lovers, Romeo and Juliet, who fall in love and die within a span of three days. Romeo and Juliet illustrate how the love brings them together to over power the control of their relationship. The moment that Romeo and Juliet declare their love for one another, they try to keep their love a secret since they are the children of the feuding families, the Montagues and the Capulets. Initially their families would be outraged against their relationship that Romeo and Juliet propose to hide the truth of their love. Once Romeo and Juliet reveal to the Nurse and Friar Lawrence their plans to marry, their relationship is nothing but a risk of problems. Romeo is unafraid to show his love that he teases Tybalt teasing him about falling in love with Juliet, although not explicitly. However, the deaths of Mercutio and Tybalt, occur when Romeo and Juliet take actions to protect themselves, but they are not however, protected. Juliet protects her relationship by committing a false death only for Romeo to believe it as true. As a result, the act to protect Romeo and Juliet’s relationship a secret are examples of the failed actions both Romeo and Juliet try to prevent; however, it is not ‘fate’ that control their lives and deaths.

With Halloween being right around the corner, children are preparing for ABC’s “Thirteen Nights of Halloween,” parents are picking up pumpkins to celebrate the Celtic holiday, and the urge for a good horror story is emerging. The monster, such as vampires or zombies, is taking the spotlight and it’s hard to ignore. From Dante’s Inferno to Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, being frightened has not only been one of people’s favorite pastimes, but a way for us to explain the paranormal and unrevealed. In recent times however, there seems to be a shift from demonic creatures of the night to over sexualized human-like creatures who hide amongst us in the day. In this essay, I will show the gradual humanizing of the vampire and how it has morphed from a demonic creature damned by God into a creature with a big heart that is not much different from us.

In the romantic historical tale of Romeo and Juliet , many rash and impulsive decisions were made by many in this story and it was all a result from misunderstandings and hate. With every decision they made they knew nothing of the real consequences they’ll have to face but in a way some knew of the consequences and chose to ignore it. Misunderstandings and miscommunications were bound to happen, but hate as the result was very alarming and sadly there was no way to put a halt on what consequences were to come. Even in the beginning , into the introduction it was stated in the prologue of Act one , that even before the start of Romeo and Juliet’s love that “ From ancient grudge break new mutiny” . The ending to the romance tale, the deaths of Romeo and Juliet was the outcome of the hatred between the two noble families.

Shakespeare uses the Capulet’s friends and family to convey that sudden, young love is a possible cause of unfavorable outcomes. After Tybalt slays Mercutio, he returns to Romeo, where he is so enraged about his friends death that he kills Tybalt himself. Being part of the Capulet family, everyone is mourning over their beloved cousins death. Lady Capulet is especially upset, as she whines, “‘O, the blood is spilled / Of my dear kinsman! Prince, as thou art true, / For blood of ours, shed blood of Montague’” (Shakespeare 3.1.115-117). She says that the “blood is spilled”, and that because of that, the “Montagues” need to “shed blood” too. Tybalt got slain because he initially found Romeo at a Capulet party, due to Juliet being an attendant there also. This infuriated Tybalt, leading to him to challenge Romeo to a duel, the very duel that cost Tybalt his life. Tybalt was a loved cousin of the Capulet family, therefore causing them much sorrow. This sorrow and negativity is caused by Romeo and Juliet's relationship, as Tybalt wouldn't of been dead, and his family wouldn't of been in grief if it weren't for Romeo and Juliet being “star crossed” lovers. Later on, after the tragic death of Tybalt and Mercutio, Lord capulet sets up Juliet to marry Paris. But, to his surprise, Juliet declines his offer due to her love for Romeo. Lord Capulet becomes incensed and screams, “‘And you be not, hang, beg, starve, die in the streets, / For by my soul, I'll never acknowledge thee, / Nor what is mine shall never do thee good”’ (Shakespeare 3.5.204-206). He says that he wishes for her to “die in the streets” and that he will “never acknowledge” her. Lord Capulet's words greatly affect Juliet, but even more himself. He is distraught he has to be so cruel to her, but meanwhile his veins are flooded with fury as she refused to take part in being married to Paris, therefore she is cursed to “die in the streets”. If Romeo were to never steal her love, Juliet may of been married to Paris, and everyone could have continued their lives as accustomed. Nonetheless, the two young

Did you know that Romeo and Juliet is actually a dark story? Romeo and Juliet is the story about the intense love of two people of different families; the Capulets and the Montagues. Inside these two families is a grudge over many generations with several hardships. On the Capulet side you have Juliet and on the Montague side, you have Romeo. The Nurse and Friar Laurence are the two people that know and help Romeo and Juliet’s love for each other and here are some examples of how they help the lovers grow closer to each other.

The death of the title couple in Shakespeare’s play The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet is their own faults. Romeo, for instance, is evidently a brash and naive child who has “so soon forsaken” (2:3:73) his affections toward Rosaline, becoming shallowly enamored with Juliet’s “true beauty” (1:5:58) without any knowledge of her identity. The Friar rightfully criticizes the teenager’s affections toward Juliet as “not truly in [his] heart, but in [his] eyes”(2:3:72). His lack of self control creates issues for both of the families and for his own life. He decides to go against the logic of restraining his sudden affliction for his “foe”(1:5:132) and creates demise for the both of them by initiating a relationship that they could not foreseeably sustain.

The honoured and remarkable play of Romeo and Juliet and its updated version as a movie that is modernized have some similarities and differences between both. Firstly, the most obvious similarity is the language used in both, as the movie uses the script from the play word by word. Secondly, a difference that is changed in the screenplay due to the difference between the weaponry of both time frames, the swords used in Romeo and Juliet's play are replaced by guns in the screenplay. Thirdly, despite the ignorance of some scenes , the plot remains the same, including Friar Lawrence's plan for Juliet to escape the marriage from Count Paris. Lastly, the Prince of Verona from the play is replaced by a Chief of Police, as due to the difference in

First, in the “balcony scene” Romeo and Juliet share a moment where they decide to get married. Juliet, at a young age, should not be making such quick decisions by herself. She is not aware of what love is yet, though she might think she is. They didn’t care much about what there parents thought, and it was decided in less

Statistics show that 94% of teenagers believe in true love. Romeo and Juliet were in love. They fell in love fast and rushed things but nobody can say that they weren't in love. They loved each other enough to kill themselves over living without one another. This play is about true love because they both fell in love at first sight, got married, and couldn't live without each other.

The story “Romeo and Juliet” is an old classic about two lovers from families that have hated each other for a long time. A movie was made about it in 1968, and there are some significant differences between the two. These changed elements are, most of the time, either things left out of the movie, or things added in the movie. This has advantages and disadvantages, because although the movie does not have as much unimportant detail, taking out scenes can cause a story with an inconsistent flow of events, or possibly scenes that do not make sense. There are many scenes added in the movie which did not appear in the book.

At this point in the play, Juliet’s mindset is that she is still a child and needs to obey her mother. Once Juliet meets Romeo, however, she leaves her decision of being celibate behind and decides she wants to spend the rest of her life with him. During their first night of knowing each other, Juliet pushes Romeo to propose. She says, “If that thy bent of love be honorable,/ Thy purpose marriage, send me word tomorrow/ …and I’ll follow thee my lord throughout the world,” (II.2.143-148). At this stage in the play Juliet is becoming more bold and straightforward, a contrast from her previously shy and modest personality.
