Similarities Between Romeo And Juliet And The Hunger Games

Lust is the same as false love, and so this quote can be used as a demonstration of both. Romeo again states his feelings for not Juliet but rather Juliet’s

Romeo explains how love is a constant battle within him when he exclaims “brawling love” and “loving hate”. He lets out his sadness when he says “heavy lightness” which means sad happiness, and “serious vanity”, which means serious foolishness. All of this language is very complex and not clear, which is also a sign that Romeo is not truly in love. Romeo uses dark diction in his comparisons when he says “brawling”, “hate”, and “heavy”, which shows the darkness of courtly love and how it can eat someone up emotionally. Next, courtly love is shown through figurative language when Romeo uses an extended metaphor to describe his feelings for Juliet. Romeo states this complex metaphor in the quote, “It is the east, and Juliet is the sun./ Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,/ Who is already sick and pale with

As time goes on, Juliet and Romeo fall deeply in love for each other despite their names, and wish for every second to be together. However, their love becomes intercepted when Juliet is told that she shall marry a man she does not like. While Juliet is trying to find a way to be with Romeo and get out of her arranged marriage, Romeo is faced with a duel with his soon to be cousin and his best friend. In a blind rage

Like Romeo, Juliet has an immediate positive reaction when she first sees Romeo, stating “My only love, sprung from my only hate! [...] Prodigious birth of love it is to me / That I must

Romeo was saying that love can be dangerous but that he would do anything to call Juliet his. This shows how the two shouldn’t have been married because it can end poorly. Their love was new and strong and they got so caught up in their first real love that it became all they thought of. Both of the characters knew about the dangers of keeping something a secret, yet they did it anyway. This lead to conflict because nobody knew. The marriage was done in secret for a reason, and that secret would lead to lives of three people.

This quote represents Juliet's defiance towards her parents and her loyalty towards Romeo. She sacrificed her relationship with her parents in order to enhance her relationship with Romeo. In Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Gawain’s loyalty proves him

While this quote is vital to the story in the sense that it demonstrates all the boundaries both Romeo and Juliet had to break to be with one another, it also shows how far they will actually truly go. As Romeo begins to break this promise to Juliet to “Deny thy father and refuse thy name” (Shakespeare II, ii, 34), it is further enhanced as a necessary part of the story as it demonstrates just how far Romeo and Juliet will really go for one another. Finally, this quote plays an important role in understanding the play because of the insight it provides in understanding how the characters all seem to turn their backs on Romeo and Juliet. As all the people Juliet and Romeo had ever trusted begin to abandon them and lose their trust in them, both Romeo and Juliet begin to understand the magnitude within their actions of giving up their love of their families for the love of someone they have quite simply just

Tybalt, the cousin of Juliet is one of the Capulet’s that despises the Montague’s and he will do anything in his power to kill them all, and once he confronted Romeo, he met his fate and died by Romeo’s sword. The Prince arrived to the scene and said “Romeo slew him, he slew Mercutio” (III.i.181), him referring to Tybalt, and once realized, he banished Romeo out of the city. Once Juliet discovered the truth about Tybalt’s death and Romeo’s banishment she said in grief “Romeo is banished- to speak that word is father, mother, Tybalt, Romeo, Juliet, all slain, all dead- Romeo is banished” (III.ii.122-124).
