In William Shakespeare’s play “Romeo and Juliet”, Shakespeare presents characters in difficult situations in Romeo and Juliet through various language techniques and structure. Romeo and Juliet were star-crossed lovers. Both Romeo and Juliet were from feuding families that would not approve of their marriage. In the play they are presented with many difficult circumstances. The play was set in the Elizabethan era; there was a significant change in religion, family and politics. Attitudes and key scenes highlight the theme of love in difficult circumstances and prepare the audience for Romeo and Juliet’s suicides at the end of the play. In this essay I will be exploring the ways Shakespeare presents characters in difficult situations.

Fate works in mysterious ways, everyone makes choices out of their own free will which affects their

There are many different types of trees, each one just a little different to the next. Some are ugly, some are tall, some do not contain any leaves at all. The human personality also holds many branches that live, each dissimilar from the next, each with a separate function that it gives. When all of the leaves are viewed from afar, the combined image is spectacular, but when observed from up close, the flaws are gaping, and even gross. The human personality works the same, for at first glance people are flawless, but when examined deeper and more personally, it can be seen how these flaws define who a person really happens to be for the worst. One sickly imperfection can slowly kill a whole tree, just like one hideous trait can ruin a

In the play Romeo and Juliet, written by William Shakespeare, we learn of the many hardships and highs Romeo and Juliet go through over the course of the story. The play Romeo and Juliet is based off two star-crossed lovers who are separated from each other due to a feud between their two families. Their love is so strong that at the end of the story Romeo and Juliet both end up committing suicide because they can’t live without each other. Whether it is problems with love, or them complimenting each other on how they feel about the other person, Shakespeare uses many literary devices to make the reader dig deeper into the context to find the meaning behind the sentence. Some of the literary devices are; similes, metaphors, and personification.

Who is to Blame? “The fault, dear Brutus, is not in the stars/ But in ourselves, that we are underlinings” (Cassius Act 1, Sc 2, 140-141). The play, Romeo and Juliet, by playwright William Shakespeare implies that the death of Romeo and Juliet is caused by fate; however fate is not the killer.

Throughout the world there is people who spend their whole life trying to fix another person's problems. And eventually they end up getting themselves into trouble. This is what happens to a character in the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. In the play many characters try to fix another problem. But throughout their fixing they make many flaws that ends up creating a huge mistake that ends the lives of two young lovers. And throughout all those characters, Friar Lawrence is the one most at fault for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet.

“Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light” ( Albus Dumbledore, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban). This exemplifies the true beauty that even in the most distressing times of anyone's life, there is always light somewhere to restore. Many struggle with things that rests upon them throughout their life and never seem to have a way to cope with whatever the challenge may be. Nevertheless, many should put forth effort to hunt for those concealing glimmers of hope that illuminates anyone's heart. Similarly, within Shakespeare’s “The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet” two family rivals, the Capulets and Montagues, clearly resemble this quote. However in this case Juliet and Romeo’s relationship

“What do you want to be when you grow up?” is the question we hear so many times as children. Yet, growing up does not necessarily mean becoming an adult. Rather, growing up is the change within one’s self that is illustrated by a heightened awareness, the ability to think reasonably, and the proficiency to conduct themselves in an appropriate manner. In adolescence, we turn to the adults in our lives to aid us in understanding our choices as we become increasingly responsible for our own actions. During this time in our lives, adults with worldly experience direct us down the path of good judgment in order that we may learn how to make good decisions. They near essential to us, even though not everyone has this advantage. William Shakespeare’s famous and celebrated tragedy, Romeo and Juliet, depicts several instances in which the title characters, though still naïve, behave more responsibly and maturely than the misguided adult figures in their lives–those of the Houses of Capulet and Montague, especially Juliet’s parents, and the culpable Friar Laurence.

Everyone needs a loving family; one that is made up of people you cherish and get through everything with. Whether it be your ups or downs, they are there. In Romeo and Juliet, Juliet did not have a family. To fill in the missing pieces, Juliet uses people like the Nurse to be a mother figure because she is neglected by her parents. Along the way, she has displayed signs of suicide that could have been prevented if her parents Capulet and Lady Capulet paid extra attention to her. Although other characters in Romeo and Juliet are part of the down fall of Romeo and Juliet, Capulet and Lady Capulet are most to blame because they neglected Juliet and don’t understand her.

William Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet can be interpreted in many ways. But the theme I chose for this project is the theme “Think carefully without haste before you make significant decisions”. In the play, Romeo and Juliet make many rash mistakes that could’ve easily prevented their demise. But there are a few major scenes in the play that highlight their foolish mistakes.

In The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet evidence shows Romeo is responsible for the death of himself and Juliet.

Love can be a beautiful thing, until lies and deception take place. The play, “The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet” written by William Shakespeare, is taken place in Verona, Italy. The Montagues and Capulets are two separate families with children of their own. Despite their strenuous and grueling relationship, their two children, Romeo and Juliet, lock eyes for the first time and fall in love. The two together set their bond in stone, coming to the realization that even love itself has limits. Juliet decides to fake her own death in hopes of being able to run away with her lover.

Anguish is conceived in love and death. William Shakespeare creates turmoil through his language in Romeo and Juliet. His tragedy shows how hate and love coincide with one another. Throughout the play, Romeo and Juliet’s passion for each other keeps them together, but eventually kills them both. Shakespeare creates the conflict through his language. His use of similes, metaphors, and verbal irony set the mood for his play. The way these components flow together create the atmosphere that made this misfortune legendary.

A tragedy in literature is a tragic hero who falls due to a tragic flaw. Romeo’s immature personality has a huge effect on the end of the play. Romeo never thought before he acted, causing things to go wrong. For instance, before he killed Tybalt, he was angry in the moment not thinking about what would happen. When Romeo met Juliet he was in love with another girl. From here, his judgements eventually lead to his death. His tragic flaw is his unripe personality. Romeo enters this risky relationship as a young and carefree man, who doesn’t realize what could happen during this. The play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare fits perfectly with the definition of a tragedy, beginning with two hopeless teens and ending in their death by their own violation.
