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.

Deadly love Have you ever found wanting to kill yourself after a relationship with a special someone? Some people chose different events than me and they have good reasons for it but of course I think that the event I chose has a huge role in the story even though the decision take only a few seconds for Romeo to go through with it. I will admit there are other scenes that made sense to me at first but after I thought about it for a little bit I changed my opinion.

Romeo and Juliet is a play written by William Shakespeare that follows the lives of two star-crossed lovers who are destined to die because of the rivalry between their two families. In the play Romeo and Juliet fall madly in love but because of catastrophic events that occur, they both are willing to die rather than be separated from each other.

While a child’s view and a parents view may have similarities and differences the three main qualities both have in mind for their perfect mate is their physical appearance, personality, and expectations.

“Oh Romeo Romeo wherefore art thou Romeo...?” These famous words are from the romantic classic, Romeo and Juliet, which has been the hard hitting piece that many novels, romantic comedies, dramas, and many more genres of art have adapted from.

A quote by an unknown author states, “Young love is two hearts with only one thing in mind.” This quote perfectly portrays the story of Romeo and Juliet because some people doubt that their love is real. Personally, I believe that age shouldn’t define your affection for a person. Despite being young, Romeo and Juliet fell for each other. Romeo revolved around Juliet like she was the sun, hence the quote, “It is the east, and Juliet is the sun” (2.2.4). These teenagers opened their hearts to something new and thrilling out of pure passion. Even though it was quick, it was real. In Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, Romeo and Juliet show that they have a passionate love through the many ways they express their true feelings to one another.

It did have that intense feel where any moment you were waiting for the final stab but not as emotional like the 1996 version. In the 1996 version it was highly intense with Tybalt running off in a car and Romeo chasing right after him. It had way more emotions when Romeo seeked the revenge of his dead best friend. You could almost feel it through the screen with each gunshot he shot.

Shakespeare's main characters are never ‘dull’; they’re always intricate, with motives that present complexity, which proves to sometimes be problematic. The characterization of the Duke is similar to that of Lucio’s because these two characters both have many facets to them. And these similarities enable us to see how even though these characters might be similar in ways, their actions and the way they go about dealing with the things they’re faced with are different. Since the Duke holds greater power he is able to go to extreme lengths, in order to get what he wants, unlike Lucio, who is merely just a character who happens to live in Vienna.
