Every Shakespeare tragedy follows the same conventions. Some of the conventions are tragic hero with a tragic flaw, anti-hero, tragic fall, fate, and supernatural. A convention is something in Shakespeare that has a certain effect.

True love is selfless. It is prepared to sacrifice. This is the dominant theme in Shakespeare 's The Tragedy of Romeo & Juliet, a play is about two rival noble families from Verona, the Capulets and Montagues. Indeed, the two families have such an ongoing hatred for each other that they are constantly feuding violently without end. Having had enough, Prince Escalus, the Prince of Verona, one day decrees the penalty of death to be upon the person who disrupts the peace again. It is against this vicious backdrop that Shakespeare by contrast, accentuates love in Romeo and Juliet. Three different types of love are depicted: the infatuation of Romeo, the son and heir of Montague, with a woman named Rosaline; the arranged love between Juliet, the daughter of Capulet, and Paris, a kinsman of Prince Escalus, whom Juliet’s parents have chosen to be her suitor; and ultimately, the true love between Romeo and Juliet, whose families are each other’s worst and greatest enemies.

William Shakespeare’s play, The Tragedy of Othello: The Moor of Venice presents a man who is undone by his own insecurities, as well as strong female characters who lead to the downfall of the men. The character of Othello allows others to control how he feels and this leads to a tragedy that could have been prevented. The source of this tragedy comes from within himself. His character is completely wrapped up in his wife Desdemona’s character and interestingly enough, as soon as her character starts to decline from the words of Iago, so does Othello’s. Unable to stand on his own, Othello is more concerned with outwardly appearances than Desdemona. He puts more pressure on her, than he does himself in regards to his character and how he

“And what should we discuss? Which lady in here my husband is bedding?” Ann chirped.

When Hawkins stepped outside, Thomas took Allie’s hand and began walking toward the stairs. “I want to look at the bedrooms,” he grinned. “A comfortable bed is what matters most to me.”

After he saw her nodding in agreement, it compelled him to discuss about how well he made his way into the social fabric of the Ryanites. “Okay, so maybe it did shape my perceptions regarding people live in the society on the surface, but no matter what, there’s nothing that will dissuade me from knowing that the Dweller world is–and has always been for a long time–in a state of Anarchy and chaos. Because of my foster father, all that is going to change, and I know it.”

“Nathaniel kicked a foot against the floor. “Will you both just shut up and let me give my command? I’m in charge here. Right. Imp: I wish you to show me the building known as Heddleham Hall. Somewhere near London. Owned by a woman named Amanda Cathcart. So! Be gone about your errand!””(Stroud,

John Steinbeck once said, “What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness.” Without the use of opposites, The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet would just be another love story. By incorporating many different dualities into his writing, Shakespeare differentiates his readers the true emotions and identity of every single one of his characters.

Shakespeare creates The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet by incorporating dualities between two opposites. This method enriches his story by adding specific character to the language and writing, allowing the audience

Luckily, Barry was a track star and zoomed past everyone. While he was running, he heard a familiar sound coming from around the corner. It sounded just like the portal from the school library. He looked around each corner and realized that the portal was on top of a building. Oh, not any building. It’s the Queen’s castle! He still heard the cops chasing after him so, he had to make up his mind quickly. He turned around and saw a huge ladder that was at least 300 feet tall. He grabbed it and ran toward the castle.

He was climbing as fast as he could, only to realize that he would fall to the ground and die. Then, he heard a breaking sound.

Aristotle thoroughly describes his understanding of the tragedy in the Poetics and bases this conception on certain requirements. According to Aristotle the three most important variables that define a tragedy are plot, characters, and theme. Using Oedipus Rex as a sort of ideal, this philosopher demonstrates how a tragedy functions in order to evoke catharsis while exploring themes and human flaws, or mistakes. In Oedipus Rex, the main figure, Oedipus the King is a subject of fate, unable to escape himself and his desire to uncover the truth. In essence, this drama demonstrates the fall of a prominent figure brought down by his inescapable fortune and self-destruction. I definitely believe it is difficult to find a modern day tragedy that
