Comparison Between Shakespeare And Pinter

The figurative language that the friar uses reminds and describes to the consequences of desperation to Romeo. For example, he starts by comparing Romeo to things that are soft-hearted by stating, “Thy tears

Romeo and Juliet is a play about two star-crossed lovers who have passionate and unconditional love for one another. Due to a family feud, the two lovers cannot be together, resulting in a great tragedy. Throughout the play, William Shakespeare uses figurative language to bring more depth and meaning to his dialogues. Due to the descriptive writing, readers are able to better understand and connect with the characters and the story. In Romeo’s famous love speech for Juliet, 2.2, Shakespeare uses many literary devices to show the audience that Romeo’s love for Juliet is true and everlasting. By using a metaphor, Shakespeare compares Juliet’s beauty to the sun to show the light Juliet brings

Subsequently, Shakespeare’s use of puns enhances the sense of humorous and ironic connotations in Romeo and Juliet, gradually advancing to the forefront of the reader’s attention as the play evolves. “You [Romeo] are a lover; borrow Cupid's wings, and soar with them above a common bound” (18-19). This pun emitted from Mercutio and completed by Romeo defines the dual conflicting qualities of passionate love. Mercutio describes the soaring feeling associated with the infatuation of love, subtly rejected by Romeo as he uses the word “sore” referring to the piercing pain incorporated with love, symbolized by the shaft of Cupid's arrow. “Not I, believe me: you have dancing shoes with nimble soles: I have a soul of lead so stakes me to the ground I cannot move.” (27-28). Romeo again effectively uses a play on words, this particular instance indicating his initial feelings of melancholy towards love. Nimble soles represent one's happiness represented by the ability to dance, while Romeo's soul in comparison to lead directly compares to the soles of his shoes, too heavy for dancing. “Ay, the heads of the maids, or their maidenheads; take it in what sense thou

Dramatic irony is seen throughout the whole play many times, but one time stands out when the main character Romeo slays Tybalt, kinsmen to the Capulets (Juliet’s Family), out of sheer anger. Consequently, Romeo was banished. Said in the play by Paris, he stated, “Immoderately she weeps for Tybalt’s death, And therefore have I little talk of love”(Rom.IV.i.6/7). Paris thinks that Juliet weeps for Tybalt being slain, but instead is weeping for Romeo who was banished from Verona. Following the banishment incident, Juliet remained in a coma like death that she put herself into not marry Paris, but everyone thought of Juliet being dead, even Romeo. By her tomb, Romeo spoke, “Beauty’s ensign yet is crimson in thy lips and in thy cheeks”(Rom.V.iii.94/95). The coma was to end and she was to wake any minute that Romeo went to Juliet, nevertheless Romeo didn’t know of the potion that put her in the coma. Full of grief, Romeo proceeded to kill himself even though he noticed that Juliet looked well alive. Previously, when Romeo was banished and Juliet in the coma, many examples of repetition of epithets happened during those scenes.

Romeo explains how love is a constant battle within him when he exclaims “brawling love” and “loving hate”. He lets out his sadness when he says “heavy lightness” which means sad happiness, and “serious vanity”, which means serious foolishness. All of this language is very complex and not clear, which is also a sign that Romeo is not truly in love. Romeo uses dark diction in his comparisons when he says “brawling”, “hate”, and “heavy”, which shows the darkness of courtly love and how it can eat someone up emotionally. Next, courtly love is shown through figurative language when Romeo uses an extended metaphor to describe his feelings for Juliet. Romeo states this complex metaphor in the quote, “It is the east, and Juliet is the sun./ Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,/ Who is already sick and pale with

William Shakespeare is memorable not for the stories he writes but for how he writes them. In Act II Scene ii of Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare’s use of diction emphasizes the young lovers’ passion for each other. Romeo arrives in Juliet’s garden just hours after first meeting her and begins to think aloud. Before Juliet discovers that Romeo is beneath her window, he compares her to “a winged messenger of heaven,” whose beauty is immortal (Shakespeare Act II Scene ii Line 28). Shakespeare’s word choice not only alludes to Christianity, the central religion in Italy during the time period, but expresses Romeo’s love for Juliet as undying, just like the angel he says she is.

Generally speaking the mind can react differently to the same prompt due to the structure which it was formed from. Physcologists say there are ways to trick the mind into seeing or feeling a certain way. Consequently, how people percieve an act changes depending how it was performed. Whereas Shakesperes plays brought about an emotional appeal to the readers. Granted , in society today it has become more complex yet easier to make an act retrieve an emotional response from watchers or readers. Futhurmore, Willamson and Stewart both perform the same scene from Act 2 Scene 1 of William Shakespeare's play Macbeth

One of love’s most prominent characteristics is its ability to engulf the human mind in floods of pure emotion. In the short term, love is often associated with phrases such as hearts “skipping a beat” or “butterflies” in one’s stomach. As an act of intuition and instinct, love can have immediate physiological and psychological effects. As a result, love’s psychosomatic manifestations often lead their bewitched to direct as many efforts as possible toward winning another’s heart. With regard to this motif of physical and emotional infatuation, Shakespeare argues, being in love causes us to become inconsistent and to allow ourselves to be buffeted by the wild waves of our ever-changing desires. In the play,

Love is many things, and is also used as a reference to sight and vision such as blindness. It is much more than aesthetics and wields the power of sight, and can also cause chaos and destruction. Similarly, Shakespeare utilizes two types of blindness by love; the first being physical due to a love potion a fairy king, Oberon orders upon the humans in Shakespeare’s, A Midsummers Night’s Dream. The second, being metaphorical due to Antony’s immense amount of love towards Cleopatra, in which hinders his political motivation in Shakespeare’s, Antony and Cleopatra.

Love is such an abstract and intangible thing, yet it is something that everyone longs for. In Shakespeare’s play A Midsummer Night’s Dream, the difficulty of love is explored through the obstacles that characters have to face while pursuing their loved ones. Those characters that are in love in the play were conflicted with troubles; however, the obstacles of love do not seem to stop them from being infatuated with each other. The concept of true love is examined throughout this play. By creating obstacles using authority and a higher power, Shakespeare examines the power of love. Through Hermia and Lysander’s loving words, it is reasonable to conclude that love conquers all if you believe in it.

Does love ever hit as hard as a rock? Does it feel like you're happier you just enlightened? Well not always. William Shakespeare is an all time legend for the genre of comedy.. He created the much ado about nothing play which is still relevant today. The play “much ado about nothing” portrays strong themes such as love, self deception and appearances vs reality. We all desire to be loved ? although many of our relationships these days don't always go as planned, in many relationships lies are thrown around and the relationship becomes deceptive and trust is broken. Throughout the play written by Shakespeare love is introduced between the young and royal Claudio and Hero. Love doesn't really work out at the beginning of the play for the young couple as there are many barriers in the way but later on are knocked down and happiness is unleashed throughout their love for each

Wonder, for a moment, what Shakespeare means when he uses the word “love”, if it really does exist in any of the relationships in this play, particularly between Petruccio and Katherine. Is love not a certainty?

Love is quite an indescribable word. Love is an essential part of human life though, Shakespeare seems to mock the general idea of romantic love with his play, Twelfth Night. Although some may perceive love to be joyful, others think that it is an unpleasant spirit that interferes with their emotions and causes them to suffer. William Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night demonstrates how love influences the strongest minds to make irrational decisions and to act in uncharacteristic ways. Love is unique and in the play, every character is affected by love and they all have different reactions, helping develop the plot and recognizing the theme through their actions and decisions. This can be demonstrated through Duke Orsino’s indomitable and uncontrollable

Figurative language in the balcony scene of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet provides justification for the deep love within the couple and demonstrates foreshadowing of Romeo and Juliet’s tragic flaw. The figurative language used in the balcony scene of Romeo and Juliet provides justification for the deep love they have for other. Romeo demonstrates his deep love when he is explaining to Juliet how he will forget himself for her. He conveys to Juliet that, “It is my soul that calls upon my name” (Shakespeare 2.2.175). Using this piece of personification, Romeo explains to Juliet how much he loves her as he claims that he no longer considers himself as Romeo and is ready to give up his name for his beloved Juliet. Juliet demonstrates the same affection for Romeo.

He accepts her essentially, because of her mediocracy. At times, he is outraged by her additional lovers, but he still is wrapped around her finger. He blames himself for staying with her even though the relationship is toxic and copes with her infidelity. Shakespeare turns the traditional feeling of a love sonnet to that of hatred, resentment, and lust. It seems more in line with the reality and harshness of falling in love, as opposed to the traditional googly-eyed admiration of a lover. Since Shakespeare avoids this fictional theme, he gives readers a good reason to believe his Sonnets may actually be true.
