Parallels Between The Syrian Civil War And Romeo And Juliet

From the forcing of Juliet to marry Paris, to coming up with a plan for Juliet to be knocked out for quite some time, and sadly, the death of both Romeo and Juliet. Other issues occur in the world that's similar to what happened in the story of Romeo and Juliet. There is a phrase that is ¨death brings out the best and the worst in families.¨ This is true for the story of Romeo and Juliet because they both died, which is the only reason why the two families ended their feud. Who knows if the feud would have been broken if Romeo and Juliet didn't end up dying like they did. That shows that the two families had to go through a very sad event in order for them to realize that their feud is what actually caused it. They were too blindsighted to see that they were the ones who caused the tragic event. ¨First let me be clear about one thing—you are not alone. Not even close! So many people can relate to family fighting after a death. What’s the number one source of conflict? Belongings and money. As hard as it is for many of us to admit, countless families who never imagine there would be conflict over material things are suddenly overwhelmed by disagreement and power struggles.¨(What's your grief). This shows that this happens to families. They have to overcome a tragic event in order to realize something. Now if the Montagues and the Capulets hadn't had their feud,

As we study American history we see that the saying, 'History repeats itself' reveals much truth. As we look closer at the American Revolution and the American Civil War, we can find many similarities between the two. Another saying that is made known is that 'We learn from our mistakes,'; but even the greatest men and women of our history did not follow. The main causes for both wars were the fight for liberty. If we are to analyze this issue in both wars, we see that the conclusion of one war leads to the beginning of another. As Semisonic sings, 'Every new beginning comes from some other beginnings end.';

Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare, tells the tale of two young lovers whose lives end in great tragedy. What makes their story so tragic is that despite their love for one another, their families are mortal enemies. Conflict is a central ingredient in Romeo and Juliet's sad fate. Although their love for each other is strong, it cannot overcome the deluge of conflict that surrounds them. Ultimately they are defeated by the conflicts of person vs person, person vs self, and person vs society.

Romeo and Juliet is a story based on conflict. The conflict in the story is Capulet against Montague. From ancient times, the two families have held grudges against each other. As the book states. “Two households, alike in dignity...from ancient grudge break to new mutiny. Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean (1.Prologue.1-4).” The grudge between the two families has led to fighting and even death.

William Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet is a traumatic love story between young adults Romeo and Juliet. Romeo and Juliet come from different families who have been feuding for years, the Capulets and the Montagues. Abandoning the indifferences between their families they go against it all, fall in love, and marry in secret. Little do they know their love story will result in a tragic ending, death. William Shakespeare writes this play set in Verona, Italy and to him this place is thought of as a timeless fantasy land. Even though Shakespeare sets the play in Verona the characters do not act the way people from there acted and their beliefs and customs were not the same. The way the families act and treat others in based more on

Did you ever wonder what was the main reason for the deaths in Romeo & Juliet. This play is about Romeo & Juliet by William Shakespeare. The story started off with two families fuding. Romeo, one of the main characters, in love with another woman. He was later rejected by her, and then turned into a state of depression. His friend, Mercutio, decided that he should go to a party to get over the rejection. When Romeo arrived he looked for Rosaline, instead he found Juliet. Him and Juliet fell in love the same night, later they decided to get married. The next day they married, and Romeo went home to get ready to celebrate. On his way home Mercutio and Tybalt got into a fight causing Mercutio to die. Romeo killed Tybalt, then got banished. Juliet

The impulsive act that started it all was Romeo’s love for Juliet. When Romeo first meets Juliet he is unaware that she is a Capulet but even when he found out he didn't change his mind about marrying someone from the rival family. In Act 3 Scene 1 there is a brawl in the streets mainly between Romeo’s cousin, Mercutio and Tybalt, Juliet’s family member. Benvolio. Tybalt had meant to provoke Romeo into sword fighting, but Romeo refrains because he is in love with Tybalt’s cousin. This is an effect of Romeo falling in love with Juliet. Romeo’s right hand man, tries to prevent the fight from happening but is unsuccessful. While in the midst of the battle Romeo tries to intervene but instead Mercutio is stabbed and killed by Tybalt. Now that Tybalt has murdered his best friend, Romeo goes after him to gain vengeance for Mercutio’s death and kills Tybalt. “This shall determine that./ [They fight. Tybalt falls].../ O, I am fortune's fool.” (Shakespeare 3.1.128-132). Romeo is then banished for murdering Tybalt even though he would have been punished by the government for killing Mercutio anyways. Lady Montague's death was inferred to have happened because of her son’s banishment. Paris was another tragic death in Romeo and Juliet that Romeo caused. While mourning over his beloved Juliet, Romeo is interrupted by Paris who was kneeling in the corner in the Capulet’s tomb. “Wilt thou provoke me? Have at thee, boy!/

Edmund Burke once said “Those who don't know history are destined to repeat it.” Unfortunately, it seems that many people who have impacted the world have had a bad history teacher, as history continues to repeat itself to this day. One of the most prime examples of this is seen in the Middle East; where the Palestinian people are fighting against the Israelis over territory in which they both believe belongs to them. It has been a dispute which has resulted in loss of homes, loss of life and loss of money. However, this is nothing new. Eugene O’Neill’s statement, “There is no present and no future, only the past happening over and over again, now” applies strongly to the situation of the past 70 years in the

It has been said that history is bound to repeat itself, some might say it is because the human mind thinks alike in more ways than one. This is proven in many ways including the properties and function processes of a variety of communities. Take a look at today’s society, people are ranked on social class based upon their source of income and how they are presented. They are continuously told the rule book for life by those who hold high authority and we feed off of money. We are willing to throw away our principles we vowed to stand by to earn another dime to our salary. 4,000 years ago these same problems arose in some of the earliest civilizations known to man. In Mesopotamia civilians had to deal

To begin with to the statement made earlier about the claim that the Montague's and Capulet's were responsible for the death of their children. If both families didn’t have an ancient grudge bot4h of the children wouldn’t have died. The both families had an ongoing grudge that didn’t allow them to be married to one family to the other. In document A, “Two Households”, it states in the third line “From ancient grudge break to new mutiny.” Proving that both families had or have a grudge and that made the turn into a war. Making both households have a fight. Finally, if anyone had any contact with the opposing family they will be killed probably making Romeo and Juliet very scared to be together.

There is no doubt that history repeats itself and even though it isn’t direct if we look a little deeper we can see the similarities. No matter how hard we hide history will discreetly fined a way to

Romeo and Juliet were in deep love and if they would have just told there families they would still have a chance to live. The main theme of Romeo and Juliet is "when passion overrules reason, tragedy often follows", this is displayed in every act and every scene. Some events are a little easier to relate to the theme and some are very complicated but they all relate nonetheless. The passion is usually a emotion like love or fear. The reason is sometimes a possible consequence or a why something shouldn't be done. the tragedy is the result of over looking the reason. I think Shakespeare was trying to teach us not to let are emotions get the best of

In William Shakespeare’s tragic play Romeo and Juliet, a tale of two star-crossed lovers fall victim to their family’s rivalry. Romeo’s love for Juliet clouded his common sense, and made him act too swiftly on his decisions which caused tragedy. Romeo’s impulsive behavior which he learned from his family in the rivalry, negatively affects three characters in the play. Romeo’s emotionally decided decisions caused the death of Mercutio, Tybalt, Juliet, and himself.

Now and days every person must take at least two years of history in order to pass high school. Many people, including myself, ask the question,“Why must we take history?” Well the answer many of us get is, “ So that history does not repeat itself.” The real question of the matter is, Does history repeat itself? History has repeated itself over and over again. An example of this would be the genocide that occurred in the Ottoman empire in 1915, nearly 88 years later another genocide has occurred in Darfur in 2003. These two events are both similar and different in ways, but none-the-less are proof that history does in deed repeat itself.
