Quotes In Romeo And Juliet

In Shakespeare’s play, Romeo and Juliet, he once wrote, “Within the infant rind of this weak flower Poison hath residence and medicine power: For this, being smelt, with that part cheers each part; Being tasted, stays all senses with the heart. Two such opposed kings encamp them still In man as well as herbs-grace and rude will; And where the worser is predominant, Full soon the canker death eats up that plant,”(2.3.23-31). This was written from the Friar Lawrence’s point of view for Romeo and Juliet, and the meaning behind this quote can be applied in the book, Lord of the Flies by William Golding.

“Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into the friend,” Martin Luther King Jr. Martin Luther King Jr or also known as MLK was a civil right leader. He fought for what he believed in. He believed that all whites and blacks should be equal. In this quote, he explains that love is the only way to make your biggest enemy you friend. In Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, Romeo is a Montague and Juliet is a Capulet. Their families have been rivals for ages. Romeo had walked into that party that night seeing Juliet and thinking she is the most beautiful women he has ever seen. The quote is related to this story because it brings out the aspect of hatred among the families and how Romeo and Juliet transformed themselves from an enemy

Romeo is portrayed as an emotional and reckless character. His friend Mercutio and Fr. Lawrence comment on Romeo’s fickle attitude when he immediately falls in love with Juliet completely forgetting about Rosaline, his first love. Romeo quotes,” Did my heart love until now? Foreswear it sight, for I never saw true beauty until this night”. His love for Rosaline was superficial. Juliet transforms Romeo’s immature and erotic infatuation to true and constant love. After meeting Juliet he matures very quickly. Maybe Romeo’s love for Juliet is so intense because unlike Rosaline, Juliet reciprocates his

In the poem, Juliet expresses three main traits: caution, passion, and loyalty. Juliet is extremely cautious when it comes to Romeus as she worries that his intentions are misguided. She demonstrates this when she proclaims, “But if by wanton love and by unlawful suit You think in ripest years to pluck my maidenhood's dainty fruit, You are beguiled.” (Lines 86-88). However, once Romeus assures her of his love for her, her loyalty can be clearly seen. Juliet vows that she will remain loyal by stating, “Both me and mine I will all whole to you betake, And following you whereso you go, my father's house forsake.” (Lines 84-85). Essentially, she would abandon her family to be with him. Finally, her passion ties in with her desires. The author notes that “of both that she rejoicéd more” and she says, “For you, mine own, once dead, what joy should I have here?” These quotes not only demonstrate her passion for Romeus, but it also proves that above all else, she desires to be

Rosa Parks overcame adversity in society to become an activist in the civil rights movement. In the famous play Romeo & Juliet, by Shakespeare, two teenagers from rival houses, Capulet and Montague, meet at a masquerade, fall in love, get married, and meet a tragic end. The theme of Romeo & Juliet is free will is fundamentally more in control of determining our destiny than fate is.

In this world hate means many different things. For some people hate may mean the emotion they feel against their country for all the deaths and disparities that the war torn country has caused them. For others the word could mean that the teen is going through a phase and may “hate” their parents for not getting them the a in style piece of clothing or a resplendent new phone. But in the 1300’s there was a whole different rationale of the word “hate”.

The parents sadly watch their children being carried into the family tomb. The play, by William Shakespeare, displays the relationships of Romeo and Juliet. This drama takes place in Verona, Italy, where the Capulets and Montagues are feuding. Poor relationships, deceit, and poor advice leads to tragedy. The teenagers relationships with their families are soon tested.

Tybalt, a committed Capulet, always showing superior towards Montagues, is the perfect example of personification of hate in Romeo and Juliet. Tybalt plays an important character in Romeo and Juliet because of his aggressive and arrogant personality which causes major conflicts and catastrophes.

As Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “The old law of ‘an eye for an eye’ leaves everybody blind.” By this, King is implying that revenge does not solve any issues, but instead affects multiple people who are involved in a conflict. Revenge is defined as the act of harming someone for any aggression towards another. “The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet,” written by William Shakespeare, gives an excellent example that the thirst for vengeance can ruin everyone who is connected. Some examples of the play are Romeo and Tybalt, whose actions caused them to meet an unfaithful end. Their actions, which were guided by hatred, not only affected them, but both of their families. Romeo and Tybalt’s actions show that revenge itself can lead to great losses,

“The devil takes a hand in what is done in haste”. Haste is a major theme shown throughout William Shakespeare's play, Romeo and Juliet. Many of the characters were impetuous in their actions and as a result, the consequences were tragic. The play itself unfolds throughout 4 short days. Lord Capulet was too eager in his desire for Juliet’s marriage to Paris, which ultimately led to her betrayal. Romeo’s rash decision to fall in love with Juliet soon became fatal. Juliet’s impulsive decision to avoid marriage ended her own life.

During some of part one, and two, we slowly learn about Romeo and his dilemma. He has fallen in love with beautiful Rosaline and all of his heart is crying out to her. He vows to never see a beauty as fair as her, and complains about the rudeness and pain of love. He allows himself to go to the party with Mercutio and his friends, but remarks he won't have a good time. "I'll go along, no such sight to be shown, But to rejoice in a splendor of mine own."  That is until he sees Juliet. Instantly he forgets all of his lamenting for Rosaline love, and proclaims Juliet is the most beautiful thing he has ever seen. "O! she doth teach the torches to burn bright. It seems she hangs on the cheek of night, like a rich jewel in an Ethiop's ear; Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear! So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows, As yonder lady o'er her fellows shows. The measure done, I'll watch her place of stand, And, touching hers, make blessed my rude hand. Did my heart love till now? forswear it, sight! For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night."

Theme PEA Throughout William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet the author continuously follows the theme that lovers make rash decisions for people they love. One example of this theme is when Romeo says, “Forswear it sight, for I ne’er saw true beauty till this night.” (1.5.59-60) Although Juliet has never spoken to Romeo he conveys that Juliet is true beauty to him. Another would be Juliet with Paris, Even if the love is a truly as strong as it is portrayed, marriage is a lifelong commitment.

1. Respect the opinions of others This might sound pretty basic. It’s seems so easy, but once you actually try it you’ll find out that its very hard. There are so many different people that have different backgrounds and different views about life that you’ve never had, and you need to respect that, even if they don’t respect yours.

Juliet misunderstands Romeo’s true intentions, and he makes no effort to correct her. He wants physical contact, but she thinks he was talking about marriage. When Romeo realizes that she will not do anything with until marriage, he immediately suggests they go to the chapel. Juliet expresses her concern of them rushing into things, but Romeo convinces her to marry him. While there is much manipulation by Romeo in this scene to get what he desires, Juliet could refuse him and go back inside from her balcony, but she does not.

"Ma, it's not how many pieces you lose," I said. "Sometimes you need to lose pieces to get ahead."
