Both couple hide their love from the world and their families. In the beginning of their song, One Direction express their feelings of young couple as “People say we shouldn't be together” and “We're too young to know about forever” which is telling that young couple don’t know everything.

With Halloween being right around the corner, children are preparing for ABC’s “Thirteen Nights of Halloween,” parents are picking up pumpkins to celebrate the Celtic holiday, and the urge for a good horror story is emerging. The monster, such as vampires or zombies, is taking the spotlight and it’s hard to ignore. From Dante’s Inferno to Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, being frightened has not only been one of people’s favorite pastimes, but a way for us to explain the paranormal and unrevealed. In recent times however, there seems to be a shift from demonic creatures of the night to over sexualized human-like creatures who hide amongst us in the day. In this essay, I will show the gradual humanizing of the vampire and how it has morphed from a demonic creature damned by God into a creature with a big heart that is not much different from us.

Secondly, Romeos and Juliets downfall is a result of their own poor decisions, or character flaws because they caused fights. Many fights could have been avoided if they did the things that they were supposed to do. Because Tybalt killed Mercutio, Romeo was looking for him so that they can fight. Romeo says, “This shall determine that”(Shakespeare 59, line 133). Their fight will determine who dies.

Although both Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet and Heri Picou’s version of Act 2, Scene 2 have underlying motifs of fate, Juliet’s dominance is more prominent in Heri Picou’s version. In Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, Romeo uses compares Juliet to angels or holiness often such as when he says, “She speaks. O, speak again bright angel, for thou art as glorious to this night, being o’er my head as is a wingèd messenger of heaven unto the white-upturned wondering eyes of mortals that fall back to gaze on him when he bestrides the lazy puffing clouds and sails upon the bosom of the air” (2.2.28-35). By putting in many words which relate to gods or religion it makes their love seem controlled by a godly force which humans cannot control, such as the well known fate.

1) Before meeting Romeo, how does Juliet view the prospect of marriage? -Before meeting Romeo, Juliet viewed marriage as something that will exterminate the amount of power she has over herself. In Elizabethan times, once a woman married all their belongings would be her husband’s, the “Elizabethan Culture: Love and Marriage Four Centuries Ago” worksheet speaks much of this topic. They state that she would have no say in how he managed himself, his money, his property, her, his job, and the person he is in general. Juliet knew she would be counted as something that simply belonged to her husband and she was an accessory (almost).

The narrative poem “Pyramus and Thisbe” by Publius Ovidius Naso is a fascinating piece of work that had a great impact on the illustrious poet William Shakespeare. Recounting a riveting tragic love story, the poem intrigued Shakespeare; thus, it influenced him significantly as he composed his own story of love, the famous play, Romeo and Juliet. The poem “Pyramus and Thisbe” and the play Romeo and Juliet are different in many regards, but also have numerous similarities. One notable difference between these authors’ works exists in how each author employs the literary device of apostrophe. In “Pyramus and Thisbe,” Ovid exercises an apostrophe as he shows the lovers, Pyramus and Thisbe, speaking to the “jealous wall” that is between them, which represents their families obstruction in their love.

“Romeo and Juliet” is said to be the biggest love tragedy story of all time. While I do agree with that, I believe that one of the best love tragedies is the one in the hit TV show “The Vampire Diaries”. They are both really similar, but at the same time different; the stories show two worlds that have different types of characters, genre, and plots. First off there are many different characters between “The Vampire Diaries” and”Romeo and Juliet.” In “The Vampire Diaries,” there are vampires, werewolves, doppelgängers, hybrids, witches, heretics, and the originals.

Love is one of the main themes of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Romeo and Juliet are the star-crossed lovers on opposing sides of a feud, while Friar Laurence is essentially the mediator between the two. As Juliet says, “my only love sprung from my only hate.” (1.5 152) Each character has their own understanding of love and of what it truly means. Each character has their own personality and way of thinking that is a reflection of what their understanding of love is.

On the Esquire Network show “Friday Night Tykes”, parents of nine year old boys push their children to the limit for them to succeed in extremely intense football leagues. The majority of the parents on the show strive to have their child play college football because they believe it will positively impact their child’s future. However, the physical and emotional toll this extremely competitive lifestyle is having on these kids has people questioning whether or not it is right for these parents to continue to push their children just because they think playing college football will be the best thing for their child in the future. In Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare utilizes the relationships of Juliet and her

Romeo’s speech in the ‘balcony scene’ explores the overwhelming nature of love. It uses language techniques, such as metaphor, connotation and repetition, to show that Romeo’s speech explores the nature of love.

The idea of love can be seen through the following evidence that support this idea. A quote from the speech that shows this is, ‘Juliet is the sun’.

For our group project, we decided to develop the “fight scene” in Romeo and Juliet to a western setting. Many characteristics of the old wild west mirrors similar behaviors and traditions that took place in the time of Romeo and Juliet. Both time periods believed in defending their pride and dignity and would go to such lengths as kill to maintain it. Adapting Romeo and Juliet to a western version gave us an opportunity to easily change some parts of it to create a new setting whilst keeping the plot unchanged.

ilies who discover their love for each other ending sadly in a double suicide of the two holding each other in their arms. But they give a new found hope for peace between their families. There has been many remakes of this love story but some of the most popular are the 2014 Broadway performance, the ‘96 version with a modern twist, and the 1968 traditional version while they all share similarities they also share many differences.
