Romeus and Juliet are not allowed to see each other. In lines 1 and 2, Romeus is revealed to only visit Juliet at night. Then in lines 37 and 38, Juliet states that her kinsmen are his "deadly foes." This means that Romeus could die at their hands because "deadly" means to be able to cause someone's death, and "foe" means enemy. Because Juliet loves Romeus, she waits for him, being sure that he would pass by. While waiting for him in line 9, she "is almost dead for grief" due to the fact that he passes by her bower "a week or two in vain" (line 6). Because the word vain means producing no result, this line tells me that Romeus does not show. In lines 37 and 38, I can tell that Juliet loves Romeus because she worries about Romeus's safety.
After the party, Romeo goes to Juliet’s balcony. “He jests at scars that never felt a wound... That I might touch that cheek”(2.1.1-26). Romeo becomes so obsessed with Juliet that he trespasses onto her family’s property, with the risk of being killed, to see her because he thinks he is in love with her. If Romeo had waited to see her again and had taken things a bit slower then they may have been alive at the end of the play.
The story Pyramus and Thisbe had many similarities and differences to the story The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. To start, Pyramus and Thisbe, written by Ovid, was about how the two lovers could not be together because of a literal wall created by their feuding families. Shakespeare’s play, The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, showed two children that wanted to be together, even though their parents refused to let them because of their feud. As you can see, the two stories have many similarities, but also a few differences. The characters of the two stories are love struck and will do anything to be with the other.
Unfortunately, the message was not sent, so when Romeo arrives he thinks she is dead. He loves her so much that he would die so they can be with each other. When Juliet awakens, Romeo is dead,with a poison he has taken. Juliet realizes that he has not left any poison for her. Juliet stabs herself because she loves Romeo. The death of Juliet is represented by Friar Laurence's passage, when he says that the parents love forced her to illness(death). The overprotection of the Capulets, allowed the feud to get in the way of their daughters love. This feud caused Juliet to fall in love with a “wrong” person, a Montague. When her true love is banished from Verona, she feels that she cannot openly tell her parents about her love for Romeo, so she fakes her death. With the Capulets overprotection, Juliet does not feel safe telling her
The plot of each film has major differences that affect the overall significance of the scenes. Zeffirelli’s movie shows Romeo mourning over Juliet’s body in the Capulet’s Vault. During his final speech to Juliet, Romeo sees Tybalt’s dead body lying next to her, and begins to apologize for killing him. After Romeo’s death, Zeffirelli also includes Friar Laurence entering the vault to come across Romeo’s body. As Juliet wakes up, Friar Laurence tries to lead her away before she discovers her husband had committed suicide to be with her. The inclusion of these characters shifts the attention away from the tragic love story of Romeo and Juliet, taking away from the romance and heart break that this scene should convey to the viewer. On the other

“True love stories never have endings” (Richard Bach).

The play will most likely be recreated a million more. True love stories don’t ever die, unlike Romeo and Juliet themselves. However, this “tragic” ending isn’t entirely their fault. In The Most Excellent and Lamentable Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, several other characters influenced Romeo and Juliet’s deaths, including Mercutio and Friar John, Friar Lawrence, and Lord Capulet.

The famous and critically acclaimed Shakespearean tragedy, Romeo and Juliet, follows the vicious feud between two powerful families of fair Verona. These arch rivals (the Montagues and the Capulets) have children who fall madly in love. In the song“You Can’t Always Get What You Want” by the Rolling Stones, a similar theme to Romeo and Juliet is presented: life does not always go the way people plan, but one can always get what one needs out of life, and it will turn out just fine.
Prior to their love affair, Romeo and Juliet were complete opposites. Juliet, categorized as an Eros lover, had a “normal”, happy childhood (with at least one secure parental figure), and knew love existed but wasn’t desperately searching for it. Meanwhile, a Mania lover, such as Romeo, is pessimistic, over dramatic, and yearns for light, but makes no effort to reach it. When souls such as Romeo and Juliet’s cross, it causes an extreme attraction concluding in a collision, ending both of the lover’s lives as they are remembered as tragic heroes.
