. Fate is defeated; destiny is duped! Romeo and Juliet have somehow survived. Write a short narrative or descriptive essay exploring their lives 5 years hence. Have you wondered what Romeo and Juliet’s lives would have been like if they had survived? Maybe 5 years later it would have been like this: In order to remain happily married, Romeo and Juliet ran away from their homes and went to go build themselves a nice little home in the middle of nowhere so that no one would find them and try to separate them. With supplies that Friar provided for them to build a home, they found a quiet, but vast area of land that was fertile enough to be completely filled with flowers and other plants. They built their own home, that included 3 rooms: one for them, a separate room for the purposes of a quiet space to think and rest, and also a room for a future child. Here is what a day in their life would look like now: On a beautiful sunny morning, Romeo wakes up and looks to his left, he sees his beautiful wife Juliet, still asleep. He sits up and looks out the window in his nice, isolated home that is aways from both of their families, because they did not approve of them being married. Outside of the window, he sees miles and miles of green, fertile land, and wonders, “This is the best decision I have ever made, and I can’t believe my life is this great...it’s perfect.” He then walks to the kitchen and prepares a classic breakfast of bacon and eggs with some juice and fruit on the
In the play “Romeo & Juliet” shakespeare portrayed all aspects of love throughout different characters. Each character carries its own meaning of love which is what makes this play unique. Romeo,Nurse, and Tybalt all represent divergent love.The word Love can come in all sorts of ways which is why it is such a diverse word. Love is a powerful term that can be portrayed as deep affection, devotion, and even heartbreak.
When young, it is often easy to disremember that there is an extensive life ahead to make mistakes and decisions. Romeo and Juliet certainly disregard this truth, rendering them sightless by the significance of love. Unaware that there is more to the world than what they experienced, they immediately clung to each other and had no intentions of separating themselves. Despite efforts, people alternate in and out of our lives, whether or not we want them to. However, these two lovers are too innocent to understand this heartbreaking fact and had not yet understood that life goes on.
In conclusion, Romeo and Juliet had a terrible fate from the beginning. Their lies and secrets ended up killing them. Their parents also had a part in their fate by not letting them be together. Romeo and Juliet were compassionate lovers, but they were doomed from the start. Because they kept their love a secret, it only leads to one thing, a heartbreaking
Emotion is a wild card in life. It almost always influences people to make bad decisions in their life, and causes harm to not only the host, but to many other people around them. In the play Romeo and Juliet, the characters Romeo, Juliet, and Tybalt are all very emotional characters which conclusively lead to all of their deaths, as well as to the deaths of many other people around them. Because of these characters newly drawn emotion, they made decisions that would have been previously considered ludicrous and idiotic. Throughout the exceptional play of Romeo and Juliet, it is ultimately proven that emotion is the enemy when it comes to decision making.
Approximately four hundred years ago, in 1597, the famous playwright, English poet and actor, William Shakespeare, wrote the well-known play, Romeo and Juliet. This dramatic, romantic story is set in the town of Verona, and is about ‘a pair of star-crossed lovers,’ who express their undying love for each other. In the end, their undying love for each other ends tragically, but it does have one good outcome – it puts an end to the family’s ancient feud. Furthermore, Romeo and Juliet’s tragic ending is not to be blamed upon completely themselves, as Friar Laurence, Tybalt and Lord Capulet were all somewhat involved in the deaths of Romeo and Juliet.
In “The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet” the younger generation, Romeo, Juliet, and Paris, and the older generation, Nurse, Capulets, and Friar, both had similarities and differences which had caused the end. They had a similar opinion on things going on and different opinions ones others. In the tragedy, the main characters died which was influenced by the older generations because they have similar and different opinions which all led the younger ones to death.
Even before we delve into the metaphorical and poetic world of William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, the fate of our titled characters has already been told as we find out about ‘A pair of star-cross'd lovers’ who ‘take their life’. However the story, as we begin to read, is far from explained and unfolded, in fact, Romeo and Juliet have not even met.
Juliet is not unlike the typical young women constantly struggling to find happiness and acceptance from those who are closest to her. Young Juliet must confront the harsh reality that exists between her and those who profess to be her friends and family, which is they failed to support her, love her, and lift her up with she needed it most. In the timeless book, “Romeo & Juliet” William Shakespeare writes a moving story about the betrayal, disappointment, love, and eventual death of Romeo and Juliet. No reader can truly appreciate and understand the level of Juliet’s struggles without first understanding the roles the Lord Capulet, Friar Lawrence and Romeo, their betrayal and their role in her faithful decision.
Fate is defined as, ‘the development of events outside a person’s control, regarded as predetermined by a supernatural power’. In the time in which ‘Romeo and Juliet’ was written, many people were strong believers of fate and it was a common belief in society. William Shakespeare was a famous poet who is recognised for his powerful writing and contribution to the English language. One of William Shakespeare’s highly recognised plays is ‘Romeo and Juliet’ written in the late 1500’s. It is a play about two star-crossed lovers alongside fate who by their death end the feud between the Montagues and the Capulets. In ‘Romeo and Juliet’, Friar Laurence is not to blame for the tragic events which occurs in the play due to the fact that other
“A man's greatest pleasure is to defeat his enemies, to drive them before him, to take from them that which they possessed, to see those whom they cherished in tears, to ride their horses, and to hold their wives and daughters in his arms.”, said Genghis Khan, ruler of the Mongol Empire. Shakespeare expands on this idea in his famous novel Romeo and Juliet. Romeo and Juliet tells a tale of two “star crossed lovers” born of rival families whose feud is continued by men battling in the streets, the two lovers try to get married and start a life together which is halted by the violence of men when Mercutio, Romeo’s friend was slain by Tybalt and Tybalt was slain by Romeo. Romeo’s brutality caused for him to be banished from Verona, a plan was
‘The characters in Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet undergo significant changes throughout the course of the play.’
In the play, Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare outlines that idea that in life, desire is crucial to motivation, however, its an individual's commitment and determination to an unrelenting strive towards their goal; a solemn devotion to excel, that will thereby enable one to achieve the success they seek. The idea of determination and its power to excel is represented through the main protagonist of the play, Romeo, as his constant struggle and perseverance in order to remain with Juliet, allows him to achieve what he desired and craved deeply throughout the play: to remain alongside her for eternity.
“From forth the fatal loins of these two foes a pair of star-crossed lovers take their life” (Prologue.5-6). In Romeo and Juliet, a play by William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet, children from families of similar social standing, fall in love with each other despite an ancient feud between their households. Due to unfortunate circumstances, the love between Romeo and Juliet ends in a tragedy. Youthful inexperience, fate, and adult interference were all factors in the two lovers’ untimely demise. Youthful inexperience was one of the most influential factors in the ends of Romeo and Juliet’s lives.
The tragic outcome of the play ‘Romeo and Juliet’, by William Shakespeare, is not only the responsibility of the minor characters, but that of many factors collectively working together to result in the deaths of the title characters. The self-absorbed minor characters, the fate that destined Romeo and Juliet to fall in love and die and the lovers’ poor decisions made throughout the play contribute to this devastating ending that cannot be blamed on a single character alone.
Juliet is the daughter of Lord and Lady Capulet. When the play begins, we learn from the nurse that Juliet is soon turning fourteen (“Even or odd, of all the days in the year come Lammas-Eve at night shall she be fourteen”). In Juliet's first meeting with her mother and the nurse, she seems to be an obedient and responsible child. She comes immediately when they call her and answers always respectfully to her mother: "Madam, I am here, / What is your will?" (“Act 1, Scene 3). She is also clever as when her mother asks her what she thinks about marriage, she gives an ambiguous answer by saying what her mother wanted to hear really: “it is an honour I dream not of” (“Act 1, Scene 3). We learn that she is
