Hi. I’m Robert Brockhaus and I’m writing an essay about a Shakespeare’s classic drama called “Romeo & Juliet”. The themes are The Forcefulness of love which tells you about love that does happen no matter what happens in the plot and The Inevitability of Fate which tells you about fate that happens no matter what happens in the plot. Prologue Two households, both alike in dignity (in fair Verona, where we lay our scene), from ancient grudge break to new mutiny, where civil blood makes civil hands unclean, from forth fatal loins to these two foes a pair of star crossed lovers take their life, whose misadventured piteous overthrows doth with their death-marked love and continuance of their parents’ rage, which, but their children’s end, naught could remove, is now the two hours’ traffic of our stage—the which, if you with patient ears attend, what here shall miss, out toil shall strive to mend. Act I Montague and Capulet had their third brawl in the peaceful streets in fair Verona which the peace was disturbed by these two families. The prince of this fair town has caught some members of Montague and Capulet and strictly said, “If you fight one more time, you shall be caught …show more content…
Then Tybalt, Petruchio, and other Capulets arrive at the beach. Tybalt calls Mercutio gay and sooner or later, Romeo arrives and is told the scenario between Them and Tybalt. Tybalt kills Mercutio, Romeo tries to convince Tybalt to have peace, but Romeo kills Tybalt because he killed Mercutio, his best friend. Juliet hears that Romeo killed her cousin, Tybalt. Juliet gives The Nurse a ring to give to Romeo. Prince, other authorities, Benvolio, and Lady Capulet arrive at the scene of Tybalt's death. Benvolio tells prince the whole scenario. Then, Prince yells, "Romeo is banished!" Friar Lawrence and Nurse sends Romeo away from the fair town of Verona to a trailer
Mercutio is there instead and Tybalt and him get into an argument and begin to sword fight. Romeo then tries to separate the two, but gets in the way and Tybalt kills Mercutio. After Mercutio is killed, Romeo immediately goes after Tybalt even though minutes ago, he was telling Tybalt, that he loves him more than he knows. (3.1.59). Romeo acts without thinking and kills Tybalt, which results in numerous outcomes that lead to his death. After the prince learns what happened to Tybalt he states, “ And for that offense, immediately we do exile him hence.” (3.1.184-185). For slaying Tybalt, Romeo gets exiled and has to leave, making his relationship with Juliet harder to keep than it was before and causing himself and Juliet agony. It causes Juliet to become depressed, making her father believe that only marriage will make her happy again. When Romeo is crying on the ground after he finds out he is exiled, Friar states to him, “ Wilt thou slay thyself? And slay thy lady that in thy life lives.” (3.3.116-117). The Friar is saying to Romeo that if he kills himself, Juliet will kill herself too, which later they prove to be true. If Romeo had not killed Tybalt, then he would have been closer to Juliet and would not have been so gloomy. Juliet and he could have had a secret relationship until they were ready to tell their families that they loved each other. Slaying Tybalt causes their marriage to become more of a
The audience sees this in Act I, Scene I when Gregory and Sampson pick a fight with the Montague servants, Abram and Balthasar, which eventually turns into a nasty brawl with Benvolio, Tybalt, and the citizens of Verona. The absolute insanity of the feud is shown when both old men join the fray and Capulet asks for his sword. Lady Capulet says, “A crutch, a crutch! Why call you for a sword?” This means that even though Lord Capulet is old, his everlasting hatred for the Montagues is still burning
Today in Verona, Italy, a childish fight took a deadly turn. On that Monday evening, Romeo Montague, Tybalt Capulet, Mercutio Escalus, and Benvolio Montague were involved in a fight to the death caused by two powerful, feuding families. The violence erupted due to an argument that started between the teens which quickly escalated into brutal brawling that no one expected.
“Two households, both alike in dignity/In fair Verona, where we lay our scene/ From ancient grudge break to new mutiny/Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean. /From forth the/fatal loins of these two foes/ A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life /Whose
In the beautiful streets of Verona, after Tybalt had killed Mercutio, Tybalt appears again, but furious. Romeo wants to kill Tybalt to avenge Mercutio’s death. Again in the streets, another fight happens, but is between Romeo and Tybalt. While fighting vigorously, Romeo stabs Tybalt and Tybalt falls. Benvolio shouts, “Romeo, run! Tybalt is dead and if you get caught by the prince, he will kill you! Run away!” As Tybalt dies, Romeo shouted, “Oh, how unlucky I am!” A few minutes later, the prince entered with Juliet and her parents and Romeo’s parents. When Benvolio explained to the prince what had happened, the prince decided to exile Romeo from Verona instead of killing him.
What is love? Is it an object? Is it a feeling? Is it even attainable? Love is everything, it is an object, it is an emotion, and it cannot be bought, stolen, given. Love can only be found. Love is discovered in the most unthinkable places during the most unimaginable times. It can never be predicted who you fall in love with or when you do but all you do know is that you are in love and you would give anything for that person, and for your love to always stay resilient through all other obstacles and distractions. In Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, Montague’s and Capulet’s are know and expected to hate each other until the miracle of love presented its self. Romeo is a Montague and Juliet is a Capulet. They both fell in love when
The beginning of the story introduces a feud between the Capulet and Montague
Yesterday evening, only one day after Mercutio and Tybalt were seen dancing on the same floor of the Capulets, Mercutio was supposedly slain by the sword of Tybalt Capulet. The brawl took place in the town square of Verona. Witnesses claim that Tybalt began the fight, questioning Romeo’s nobility and name (Sepulcri). Romeo then declined the challenge, which caused Tybalt to show more dishonor. That is when Mercutio voluntarily took Romeo’s place in the duel, not allowing for his friend to be insulted. After good while of battling, Mercutio had lost, costing his life.
Yesterday in Verona, Another fight broke out between the Capulet’s and mountagues leading to the death of Tybult (Capulet’s), Mercutio (Montague’s), and the banishment of Romeo (Montague’s). The 2 households have been feuding for a long period of time but they exploded and all the anger in these 2 families have caused the deaths in both Capulet’s and Montage’s family.
What do these sources say about how males first express their romantic feeling? “Michelle is a love ballad performed by The Beatles. “Michelle” is a love ballad about a man who’s love can not be expressed because of a language barrier, but the man continues to be optimistic and affectionate towards his love. Act 1, Scene 5, Lines 44-53 are written by William Shakespeare in the genre of a play excerpt. The act portrays the moment that Romeo lays his eyes on Juliet, and his thoughts on her beauty. Both sources have men that portray their love towards a woman clearly to the readers. The man in the love ballad “Michelle” clearly displays his love towards a women through his repetition of lyrics. In the song the man continues to sing, “ I love
Love is patient, kind, and is willing to wait. In 1 Corinthians 13, it talks about what love was truly created to be. In verse 4, it states that ¨love is patient” (English Standard Version 1 Corinthians 13:4). We were made to show love with patience and wait for God's timing. Romeo and Juliet do not portray patient love. ¨ Then move not, while my prayer's effect I take./ *Kisses her* Thus From my lips, by thine, my sin is purged¨ (1.5.104-105). This quote proves they are both impatient because they kissed each other without knowing each other's names. Patient love does not develop overnight but we must remember to keep our eyes on
He wants to attack, but Capulet doesn’t want blood to shed in house. Soon afterwards, Romeo has a conversation with Juliet and they end up kissing each other. But they soon find out that their families are rivals. When Mercutio and Benvolio leave the estate, Romeo jumps over the orchard wall into the garden. He sees his beloved inside and hears her say his name. He shouts out to her and they profess their love for one another. They both decide to marry each other. Romeo then goes to Friar Lawrence (his good friend and confessor) to ask him to help him arrange a marriage in secret. Friar Lawrence concurs and sees the possibility of ending the feud between the Capulets and Montagues. The following day, Romeo and Juliet get married and has plans for their wedding night. Next, Benvolio and Mercutio encounter Tybalt, who is still angered about Romeo attending the party, decides to challenge him to a duel. When Romeo appears, he refuses to fight, but Mercutio takes on the challenge. Romeo tries to end the fight by coming in between the combatants, but Tybalt stabs Mercutio underneath Romeo’s arm and kills him. In a rage, Romeo attacks Tybalt and murders him. Once the prince hears about the incident, he exiles him from Verona forever and if he returns, Romeo will be put to death. Friar Lawrence devises a plan for Romeo to spend time with Juliet on their wedding night before he has to leave Verona to go to Mantua. While Juliet waits for her new husband
In the drama The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare Romeo, a Montague, and Juliet, a Capulet, are star-crossed lovers. The Capulet and Montague families are similar but envious of each other. Lord Capulet wants his daughter, Juliet, to marry another Capulet named Paris, but Juliet meets Romeo at a masquerade. Romeo falls out of love with a girl named Rosaline and falls in love with Juliet. As their love goes on they meet new obstacles and conflicts leading to their beautiful tragedy. The conflicts of curiosity and not sure of what to do drove Romeo and Juliet to their tragedy.
“Above all hold unfailing your love for one another, since love covers a multitude of sins.”(1 Peter 4:8). Authors speak often of love, from this quote in the book of 1 Peter in the Holy Bible, to Juliet’s words to Romeo in Act II, Scene II, “My bounty is as boundless as the sea, my love as deep; the more I give to thee, the more I have, for both are infinite.”(Shakespeare p.40). Juliet’s words have probably inspired many young men and women with material to use while courting over the many years since it was written. Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare transcends time by addressing not just the issue of love but also peer pressure and isolation, themes that modern-day teenagers face.
Two households, both alike in dignity, in fair Verona, where we lay our scene, from ancient grudge break to new mutiny, where civil blood makes civil hands unclean. From forth the fatal loins of these two foes, a pair of star-crossed lovers take their life; whose misadventure piteous overthrows. Do with their death bury their parents' strife. The fearful passage of their death-marked love, And the continuance of their parents' rage, Which, but their children's end, nought could remove, Is now the two hours' traffic of our stage; The which if you with patient ears attend, What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.
