Sacrifice In Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet

To live a glorious life you need a couple things, love, family, and definentily friends. You can possibly live life without those three things; but sometimes certain people tend to sacrifice their family and friends because of that one ¨true love¨. An excellent companion can help you in life's difficulties, but in the end all we truly need is family and those dear people you enjoy spending time with. True love isn’t worth sacrificing the essential people we need in our everyday lives!

The play Romeo and Juliet has been considered to be the most touching love story of all time, but when you look closer and past all the initial “fantasies”, you see the truth. Romeo and Juliet believed that they were in love because of the mere idea of it, however based on their actions and the short amount of time that the stages of their “love” progressed in, it soon became clear that what they were actually feeling was infatuation.

“For never was there a story of more woe than this of Juliet and her Romeo.” - William Shakespeare. This line was said at the very end of the play to show how bold and extraordinary the story was. In this essay it will be discussed how the characters changed throughout the story and how love affected all of them in different ways. In Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet it is illustrated that characters who feel the human need to commit will do outrageous things for the ones they love because of the humans fear of the future because they fear failure, people need something to drive us, and something to keep them going considering they wouldn't have a meaningful life if did not have something purposeful to do with it.

Oftentimes, the presence of love in a person’s life impacts their entire being, and whether it is a positive impact or a negative impact, it will still alter the course of their entire life. This impact can be seen in Act I of William Shakespeare’s play, The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, and also in Marian Hill’s song, “Down”. The presence of love is not the only thing that these two works have in common, however, as they show similar ideas of how love toys with the human mind. To be specific, these two works share the thematic idea that love requires unprecedented sacrifice.

True love can be a tricky thing, you only have one true love in your life. Your love could cause much pain in your families life, consequently if this is your one shot you should not take it. True love is not worth the sacrifice of your family and friends, and there is outstanding evidence for support. Why cause a whole family and close friends pain, when you could “Just say no!” and only break one person's heart instead of the masses?

Is true love really worth losing friends and family, just to be with someone? For most people they wouldn’t go unless they weren’t very close to their family members. What most people don’t understand is that just as the going gets tough with their “true love” they turn to their family for help even though their family were the ones saying not to go. This happened in a well known love story. In Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, He wrote about two lovers that fell in love instantly and that clouded their judgment on what they were actually doing. They sacrificed not only their lives but also their own family for what they believed was “true love”. “True Love” is not worth the sacrifice of those you hold dear even if your families are fighting.

Would you die for something or someone you loved? Bernadette Devlin once exclaimed, “To gain that which is worth having, it may be necessary to lose everything else.” Bernadette Devlin's words means that if you want something desperately enough, you may have to sacrifice important aspects in your life to achieve that goal. I agree with this quotation being that the world isn't perfect and life isn't fair which holds true to life and in literature. In the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare it supports the idea that some things worth having cannot be gained without sacrifice.

Romeo and Juliet have real true love for each other. “Romeo and Juliet” is a play by Shakespeare.

On the 113th day of the year, William Shakespeare, a great author, died on the same day as his birth. To read or not to read, that is the question.

Whether it is a tragedy or a comedy, Shakespeare has always accomplished to make his readers think out of the box. Throughout all his writings’, William Shakespeare has never failed to prove a point.

True love is not worth the sacrifice of your family and friends. Friends and family are something that you will have forever while somebody you love might not stay for long. Yes, someone you love will always be an important part of your life, but nothing comes before family. There are many opinions and points for both sides of the argument, but in truth, family comes first whether you like it or not. Even if you despise that family member they will always be a part of you and they are the same blood, so you must always put them first.
