Laying there on the smooth, stone floor in a dark cellar are the two dearest lovers of this very honorable city. Their dark-red, congenial blood dripping from his mouth and her stomach created a stream, a stream flowing through the tiny fissures in the old stone making a path all the way to the eminent coffin where she had once lain. This incident well describes the piece of William Shakespeare’s most prominent tragedy where the two, star-crossed lovers take their lives for each other: Romeo and Juliet. In this case, Romeo and Juliet’s brains are the most to blame for their deaths because of the development of their brains, the effects of their love, and the thought-process of these lovers. Romeo and Juliet’s brains are to condemn for their …show more content…
They’re parodied, sometimes even demonized in the media for their type of typical teenage behavior. They take risks, they’re sometimes moody, they’re very self-conscious.” (Doc A). The intellect of teens is evidently the reason for Romeo and Juliet taking all the risks. As they both were still teens, they more willingly took risks to spend as much time with each other as possible, which resulted in their deaths. However, they were both self-conscious as Blakemore said as they knew when to separate and leave or when to kiss or not kiss. Furthermore, they both may have committed suicide as a result of going into depression because initially, Romeo thought Juliet was dead and ended up drinking the poison. Later on, Juliet had woken up and realized Romeo had killed himself which brought her into a state of depression and ended up stabbing herself. Furthermore, Blakemore mentions that students are more likely to take risks when compared to mature adults: “We know that adolescents have a tendency to take risks. They do. …show more content…
For instance, Benedict Carey says that love causes people to tune out everyone except their lover: “New love can look for all the world like mental illness, a blend of mania, dementia and obsession that cuts people off from friends and family and prompts out-of-character behavior- compulsive phone calling, serenades, yelling from rooftops- that could almost be mistaken for psychosis.” (Doc B). The severe effects of love had caused Romeo and Juliet to obsess over each other, to an extent at which they cared for no one else except each other. Since Romeo and Juliet did not have phones, they had the compulsive urge to meet each other in person. At the same time, both of them seemed as if they forgot about their parents and their closest friends (Romeo and Benvolio). If their brains didn’t tune out their families and friends, they could have been given advice which may have resulted in their survival. Moreover, Helen Fisher claims that love is an addiction whether it is going well or going miserably: “I’ve also come to believe that romantic love is an addiction: a perfectly wonderful addiction when it is going well, and perfectly horrible addiction when it’s going poorly.” (Doc C). As stated by Fisher, love is addicting and keeps people clung on to it, no matter what the circumstances may be. In this case, Romeo and Juliet were not able to let go of each other
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.
Have you ever blamed faith for things, without looking at the human actions? In this DBQ we will discuss about some of the human's actions ,in the “Romeo and Juliet” story by Shakespeare, that led to the poor death of Romeo and Juliet. Romeo and Juliet’s death was caused by human actions because of four people: Rosaline, the Friar Lawrence, the Caplet and the Montague. Romeo and Juliet’s death was caused by Rosaline. If Rosaline would have fell in love with Romeo and not have been so stubborn then Romeo wouldn't have been sad at the beginning (Act 1, scene 1-5).
There he was, lying in agony in the dark and weary night, next to his beloved's tomb in the ominous cemetery. Seeing the vile creature, Death, take away her soul from his hands. Death insisted to come with him with his hands filled with the white bones of the dead, he came along without hesitation. The well-known tragedy, Romeo, and Juliet by William Shakespeare was a transcendent illustration of the effects of the underdeveloped adolescent brain. The two star-crossed lovers had their destiny planned in front of them. The tragic and mournful deaths of Romeo and Juliet resulted from their impromptu love taking over their everyday lives. Romeo laid on the murky ground of the cemetery, weeping in front of the tomb of Juliet and he would soon kill
Like in our world today we like to assign blame to someone's faults, that’s what is happening here. Who is to blame for the six deaths in Romeo and Juliet. The families, the Capulets and the Montagues because of their feud. Romeo and Juliet because of their stubborness, impatience and stupidity and then the Nurse. For not telling somebody before the problem got worse.
In “The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet” there are people to blame for Romeo and Juliet’s untimely deaths. Anyone would have chosen these three characters to blame: They are Lady Capulet, Friar Lawrence, and both Romeo and Juliet. Lady Capulet is Juliet’s mother that did not stay with her from birth. Friar Lawrence is a priest, botanist, and has a fatherly look to Romeo. Romeo and Juliet are star-crossed lovers that make a huge mess during the play.
Blaming is a common thing done among human errors. As soon as something begins to go wrong, we want to start pointing fingers at someone other than ourselves. In the case of Romeo and Juliet, many things go terribly wrong and many people could be up to blame. I narrowed all the choices down to the top three people, that in my opinion, caused all of the problems. I blame Juliet, Friar Lawrence, and Romeo.
Who’s to Blame? In the story of Romeo and Juliet a pair of Star-crossed lovers meet and married only to find out that things will not turn out so well in the end. As all people do when something bad happens, the blame someone. There are a few people to blame for this tragedy.
Considering the narrative voices of males and their enthusiastic responses to female characters reveal how males express and perceive their romantic feelings. Sir Paul Mccartney wrote a song titles “Michelle”. In this song, the narrator expresses his love for a female named Michelle and his inability to tell her that he loves her. Lines 44-53 are an excerpt from the play The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. In this excerpt, Romeo expresses his love for the protagonist of the play, Juliet. Upon consideration of these sources, it becomes clear that males first express their romantic feelings for females by focusing on their beauty. Throughout the song, the narrator repeats, “Sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble” (Doc.
There are three characters in the story of Romeo and Juliet that take some and most of the blame on the death of the two Romeo and Juliet. Two of the characters take some of the blame while the third character takes all of the blame. The two characters that take some of the blame are Lady Capulet And Lord Capulet. Lady Capulet is married to Lord Capulet and have a daughter named Juliet. The third person that takes most of the blame for their death is not a person at all. It is fate. These three characters are the reason why Romeo and Juliet take their lives. ("DBQ: Romeo and Juliet: Who's to Blame". Doc.B,A,D)
Who is to blame for the tragedy of “Romeo and Juliet?” That question is answered by three people: Lord Capulet, Lady Capulet, and Lord Montague. Here is why: All three of these people killed Romeo and Juliet in a different way.
To begin with, teenagers, like Romeo and Juliet, don’t yet have a fully mature brain to make wise and reasonable decisions. In particular, the region of Romeo and Juliet’s brain that assists in making knowledgeable decisions, the prefrontal cortex, also recognized as the frontal lobes, are not completely connected until the mid 20’s. Dr. Adriana Galaván, a Director and Principal Investigator of the Developmental Neuroscience Laboratory, with an expertise in adolescent brain development, commented in her Ted Talk that “the prefrontal cortex is the part of your brain that helps you think of the consequences or potential consequences of your actions before you do them, it helps you regulate your behavior and your emotions”. Throughout the book, Romeo and Juliet have
Relationship is described as an emotional or other connection between people. The book Of Mice and Men and “Romeo and Juliet” both have similar relationships. These relationships are built around different circumstances and situations. George and Lennie only have each other which creates a better relationship. Romeo and Juliet had large families to support and love them. They grew up surrounded by strong families. When they met violence between the families forced them to choose family or each other. How does one have a strong enough bond after two days to turn away from a family whose has been supporting them throughout their lives? A solid relationship is not created in two days, but built through good and bad life experiences. Even though Romeo and Juliet have a relationship of love and forgiveness, George and Lennie still have the stronger
Teens have a huge issue controlling their emotions. Sarah-Jayne Blakemore’s thesis on adolescent development sheds light on some of the nonsensical decision making Shakespeare's romeo and juliet as characters certainly face the mood swings, impulses, and self consciousness. “Workings of the Adolescent Brain” uses MRI based research showing what's wrong with teens and their brain development. In Romeo and Juliet, this shows a lot of issues with teens. There were 6 deaths because of Romeo and Juliet’s stupid crisis they caused. Mercutio, Tybalt, Paris, Lady Montague, Romeo and Juliet died.
Helen Fisher on The Brain in Love states that “love is an addiction”, that it is “an obsession” and “a need”. Fisher studied the brain and learned that love is biological; it is both neurological and chemical. The part of their brain that is active when you are taking tremendous risks, is also active when someone is in love. Love made Romeo and Juliet a little crazy, almost insane, and definitely suicidal. Stanton Peele says in his article “Taking Words Seriously- Romeo and Juliet are troubled kids” that “whenever either lover is thwarted, throughout the play, he or she immediately contemplates suicide. These are two depressed people unable to cope with stress and obstacles in life!”. Peele understands that Romeo and Juliet are young and hurting; they are definitely unable to make the right choices. Romeo and Juliet cannot be blamed for their deaths, but their families’ feud
Literature in the Middle Age is very good yet, difficult to interpret and can tell true meanings and lessons. Romeo and Juliet is one of those great pieces of literature that was written in the 1590’s by William Shakespeare. In Romeo and Juliet Shakespeare shows true love and a short-term admiration between Romeo and Juliet, Romeo and Rosaline, and Paris and Juliet. Therefore, this play shows true compassionate love versus a short-term affection.
