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. Romeo is constantly in and out of love until he sees Rosaline. ( 1. 1.200)" She'll not to be hit with Cupid's arrow. She hath Dian's wit," he goes through life loving and being loved by numerous people. Then he meets her and he starts obsessing over Rosaline who will never love him like he loves her ( 1.1.214) "She is too fair, too wise, wisely to fair". He is selfish in many respects because he only loves Rosaline for her looks and he doesn't really love her personality. …show more content…
(1.3. 26-28)"She speaks O, speak again , bright angel! For thou art as glorious to this night, being o'er". He takes a big risk by going to the capulets orchard in order to see Juliet. This shows that Romeo can be bold and daring is he wants too(1.2.55) " My name, dear saint, is hateful to myself" . This will eventually lead to his demise by not think about what could result from his
The courage Juliet shows throughout Romeo and Juliet is one of the many attributes that make her a strong character. In the final scene of the play, Juliet wakes to find Romeo dead. To relieve herself from this grief and possibly avoid remarriage, Juliet kills herself. “This is thy sheath; [stabs herself.] There rust, and let me die.” (Act 5, Scene 3, Line 170). Her choice of death by dagger in this scene is brave and far more courageous than poison, which killed Romeo. A second moment where Juliet displays courage is when she defies her family’s wishes for her
“Fore shame bring Juliet forth; her lord is come” (4.5.22) This quote shows how Juliet was sailing to fake her death to avoid marrying Paris and marrying Romeo instead. Romeo’s tragic flaw of being impulsive can also be seen when he kills Tybalt. “ I am fortune’s fool” (3.1.136) where he acts on his emotions rather than reason. His carelessness led him to make rash decisions, such as killing
As stated before, Romeo is romantic, in a whirlpool of emotions, and leads with his heart. Romeo enters into the story talking to his cousin Benvolio about his unrequited love with Rosaline (1.1.163-247) and goes to Lord Capulet’s party (1.4.1-120.) Later, he flirts with Juliet (1.5.104-122), marries her (2.6.), and even dies with her (5.3.120.). Romeo is also in a constant state of emotion; in Act 1, Romeo is heartbroken about his unreturned infatuation with Rosaline, in love with Juliet (1.5.51-60.)), goes to Friar Lawrence’s cell and marries her with happiness (2.6.1-37.), sorrowful and angry about Mercutio’s death (3.1.114-120), vengeful for Tybalt (3.1.127-134), and then finally, mournful and loving towards Juliet before he drinks the poison to die (5.3.74-120). It is because of these emotions that lead to him taking irrational decisions, such as marrying Juliet, the daughter of his enemy or dying with her. If he did not have these attributes, he would not have made the decisions that lead up to his and Juliet’s death. He would not have gone to Lord Capulet’s party and meet Juliet to fall in love with her, and Mercutio might have not died from Tybalt’s stab. Also, Romeo and Juliet would not have died and the family feud would continue.
Romeo is deliberately shown to move from one love to another with surprising ease. At the start of the play, Romeo is almost completely unresponsive due to his desolation over Rosaline. Despite that, just a day later, Romeo is in high spirits. When asked whether he is in love with Rosaline still, he responds “No; I have forgot that name, and that name’s woe” (II.iii.47). Romeo fails to see the irony in how he declares he is in love with Rosaline one day, but states he is in love with Juliet the next. This irony is not lost on Friar Lawrence, who chides Romeo that his “love lies truly not in [his] heart, but in his eyes” (II.iii.71-2). Mercutio too, belittles Romeo’s claims to true love, telling him the story of Queen Mab, a fairy who sprinkles dreams “through lovers’ brains, and then they dream of love” (I.iv.76). Mercutio tells Romeo that he falls in love easily because he wants to fall in love, not because he actually has a connection to his boo. Had Romeo been more conscientious, he would have realized that while he did care about Juliet, she is not worth taking his life over, and he would have moved on in later days. He could have even enjoyed a happy ending with Juliet as soon as she woke up. Romeo inflates his feelings for Juliet so much that he values them over his own life, and in doing so, relinquishes any chance of having a normal life after Juliet’s
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!"
Romeo’s love to Rosaline is very sad and depressing, and it is showing us that Romeo is not himself, and that is how Shakespeare shows how Romeo’s concept of love is not what many people think love is like. However, it does not stay this way for long.
I’m starting at where Romeo killed Tybalt, and switching it. A friend of Romeo is angry and kills Tybalt. The Prince is disgusted in how this senseless feud and fighting has become. Then it switches to Juliet, sitting in her room after hearing the news. She cries at first, but cannot cry anymore for Tybalt. Her mother comes in and they talk. Juliet tells her mother that she will willingly marry Paris, but only if they let her wait for a week and mourn for her cousin. Her mother, happy, runs to tell her husband the news. He’s just as happy that she’s being “reasonable”. Juliet, however, has different plans. She plans to run away. She just doesn’t know how though. Three days pass, and juliet still mourns for her cousin, but her mind is on Romeo. A girl
Romeo and Juliet is a love story between and Capulet and a Montague. They fell in love and wanted to spend the rest of their life together. In the paragraphs below Romeo would do anything for Juliet but when she thinks she has the perfect plan to help them spend the rest of their life together doesn’t work things get crazy. After their plan backfires Romeo and Juliet both end of dead while there plan was to spend a happy life with each other. Juliet even offered to run away and leave the Capulet family to be with romeo because he got banished. Just think about if Romeo and Juliet would have lived and the plan that Juliet and the friar had planned actually worked. Do you
I think you are more beautiful than the sun.when I first saw you I thought you were a agull. I saw you at the dance and you looked back.
There was once a time where falling in love was a myth. You had to be assigned a partner to whom you shall spend your life with. Two young individuals changed this rule; Romeo and Juliet. These two fell in love after Romeo and his friends decided to crash a Capulet party. Juliet was a Capulet and Romeo was a Montague.
The leading example of the lesson taught is when Romeo and Juliet have their first night together. Their meeting arises immediate disregards to their families hatred for one another and results in plans for a secret marriage. It begins when Romeo goes to the Capulet ball with his friends and meets Juliet. Their exchanges are interrupted when Juliet must go to her Mother. Later, the nurse tells Juliet that Romeo is a Montague. Juliet overlooks this the extent of this issue and says, “My only love sprung from my only hate! / Too early seen unknown; / and known too late! / Prodigious birth of love it is to me / that I must love a loathed enemy” (Shakespeare 1.5.151,155). Juliet and Romeo both know that what they are doing is wrong, but Juliet
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.
Star-crossed lovers bound to a horrible fate. The Montague family and the Capulet family have an ongoing feud and when their children

This story is about an angel who fell in love with another angel. The story begins when an angel named Andy was doing what other angels do and throughout his day he saw another angel, but to him it was his soul mate. The angles have many rules they have to follow, but there is one rule above all that they must always follow “Never fall in love with another angel” and it wasn’t that God was against the idea of two angles being together.
