The Shakespearian play 'Romeo and Juliet' is based upon two main themes which are Love and Conflict. Shakespeare shows these two contrasting themes through the plot, language and the characters who interact with one another. The leading characters throughout the play are Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet who are known as star-crossed lovers because the opposing families have had an ancient feud against each other. In using these two themes Shakespeare creates the bitter turmoil and loving romance that is known as 'Romeo and Juliet.'
Star-crossed lovers defined as lovers whose relationship was doomed from the beginning and was said to end in tragedy, by that of William Shakespeare. Shakespeare describes Romeo and Juliet as “star-crossed lovers” because their fate and destiny was said to be set in the stars from the day they met, till the day they died. Although not set in the stars commendable, set in the stars to be doomed for their fate. Romeo and Juliet were apart of two different families feuding with each, obviously their fate wasn’t going to work out, although a friar in the play was trying to conclude the feuding between the families.
When analysing Romeo and Juliet it becomes apparent that while the two main characters’ lives were said to be predetermined by fate, it is Romeo's deep love for Juliet that acts as the catalyst that sets his fate into motion. Romeo was bound to love juliet but it was Romeo’s deep love for juliet that gets Romeo in to trouble. Additionally, Romeo gets to caught up in the one and only love of his life and when all the sudden it was gone he decided to kill himself. Although Romeo stated, “with love's light wings did I o’erperch these walls”( 2.2.73-75). This would prove that know matter what happens romeo will always go after Juliet/love Juliet. Ultimately, it is Romeo who is to romantic therefor creating the fate for himself and Juliet.
To be honest, this video was pretty depressing, even though I don’t really agree with its message fully. The creator of the video defines love in a very harsh way, as some sort of distraction we imagine to be a connection. Near the beginning of the video, the creator says to the viewer, “You are irredeemably alone”. I think what the creator is saying with this is that everyone is looking out for themselves, and you as an individual, are completely on your own. That hints towards what this creator thinks love is, but she truly gives her definition of love when she says “The idea of love distracts us from an existential loneliness”. The creator has already said that everyone is on their own, and she is adding on to that by saying, because of that, humans have come up with the idea of love, to take our minds off the
In the book, “Romeo and Juliet”, features two families that hate each other. Both families are on the brink of being killed if they would be in one more massive fight which would result in an end to peace of the streets of Verona. The setting of the story is in the city of Verona and parts of Mantua but most of it is in Verona. The two families have teenagers, Romeo, who is from the family of The Montagues and Juliet, who is from The Capulets. These two teenager have fallen in love with each other but because they’re from different families their relationship would be a disappointment to both families. The book focuses on these two characters and how they grow individually and through their relationship. This relationship impacts the families bringing tragedy and unity.
In Act 1, Scene 1, through lines 150 to 251, Shakespeare explores the theme of love by introducing Romeo, a character with a cliché personality, in the dialogue between Romeo and Benvolio. An example of this is the use of military language by Romeo, when talking about Rosaline, which manages to convey a sense of insecurity and danger about love, and in turn, creates a sort of ridiculous perception of the characters' love for the audience. Romeo says, "siege of loving terms,/ Nor bide th' encounter of assailing eyes," (1.1.204-205) this shows that Romeo uses cliché language - violent and degrading to another person to refer to them as wild, which was commonly used in marriages during Shakespeare's times - to refer to his loved one, just like
Romeo and Juliet are set in Verona, Italy, where there is an ongoing feud between the Montague and Capulet families. The citizens of Verona is outraged because the violence between the two families. The feud has gotten so serious that prince Escalus has declared that anyone who tries to mess with the peace and make a new conflict between the families, will be sentence to death.
In Act 2 of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, Juliet matures. In Act 1, she seems passive. For example, in scene 3 of Act 1, when asked about marriage, she replies, “I’ll look to like, if looking liking move: But no more deep will I endart mine eye.” Later though, in Act 2 scene 2, Juliet has changed her mind and becomes a determined lover.
I greatly appreciate a letter which tells me of thy plan. It would have been disastrous if thoust letter had never arrived. Lives may have been lost if this missive had gone astray. I shall meet you in Mantua so we may avoid the mishap of sealing the county Paris’ love for thoust own. How art thou? My love wonders 'round this empty spacing longing for my wonderful Juliet. I pray that Benvolio is well. It is to be expected that after fair Mercutio's death we shall both be distraught, for he was our dearest friend since childhood. I hope my love can forgive me for ending Tybalt's life, I did it purely out of vengeance for my dearest Mercutio. I still love thee with all my heart.
For most people, when they hear “true love”, they might think two people. Two people that sees one another in a romantic way and created a relationship with deep meaning while having to take care and look after one another. In order to achieve this, it takes time, knowing each other carefully and thoroughly. In the play Romeo and Juliet, does this apply to the two young lovers? No, I don’t believe so, Romeo and Juliet's relationship is not true love.
In the beautiful city of Verona these two families’ lived in peace and harmony, the quiet city was a wonderful place to live, no fights, no wars, and no family feud. There once lived two great and powerful families; The Montagues and the Capulets. The Montagues families were comprised of Lord and Lady Montague, their son Romeo, and their nephew Benvolio. The Capulet family was comprised of Lord and Lady Capulet, their daughter Juliet, and their nephew Tybolt. In addition you also have Prince Escalus, Mercutio the cousin of the prince, and friar Laurence.
The two households are still against each other, so the opening fight still occurs. The original heartbreak of poor Romeo still is seen in the play, as is the connection of finding Juliet at the party Rosaline was invited to. Although this scene has been described differently the two kids still meet and share a kiss. They later meet near Juliet’s balcony, and it is there that they confess their love. The nurse learns of their love and becomes an important character in assisting the two. She even helps to arrange their marriage, which is made official by Friar Lawrence. Shortly after the death of Mercutio Tybalt dies too, and with it, the banishment of Romeo. During this banishment Juliet is nearly forced into marriage and consults the Friar for a plan. However, Romeo never receives the information for, and when he returns he thinks Juliet to truly be dead. It is then he takes his life, and Juliet awakes. Never wanting to be without him, she takes her

I has't provided thee with one solution; however, tis thy own responsibility and choice to taketh t. I am not forcing thee to taketh t, but tis available for thee.Though, this potion wilt maketh thee falleth asleep, tis unclear whether thee wilt awake from t. I am unsure about the symptoms that thee wilt taketh from t. it hath nev'r been hath used ere by anyone else, so whether thee wilt wake up is still to beest seen.

In William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, Juliet’s character is young, peaceful, and good natured. Juliet was good natured because she pushed the fact that Romeo was a Montague and still wanted to be in a relationship with him. As she says, “Deny thy father and refuse thy name, or, if thou wilt not be but sworn my love, and I’ll no longer be a Capulet” (2.2.35), which tells us that she didn’t care they were rivals, but if he didn’t want to be with a Capulet, then she’ll stop being one. She also tells Romeo, “Thy purpose marriage, send me word tomorrow” (2.2.150), which proves to us that she is still young because she does not think that rushing their relationship could turn out badly. Up on the balcony, she says, “Tis but thy name that is
