The Importance Of Love In The Story Of Romeo And Juliet

"LOVE IS A Certain Inborn Suffering derived from the sight of and excessive Meditation upon the beauty of the opposite sex, which causes each one to wish above all things the embraces of the other, and by common desires carry out all of love's precepts in the other's Embrace" is definition of medieval love. But Really, How much does Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet comes to terms of traditional " love"? Think about Romeo in the very beginning of the play, when he talks about Rosaline. He describes, rather about her looks as he says: " O, she is rich in beauty, only poor". Romeo talks of his unattainable love to the beautiful Rosaline. He sees Rosaline as strong, for she would never be hit by cupid's arrow. This is an example of courtly

Love is something everyone feels, and is different for everyone. It can make people do things that they could never see themselves doing. It impacts everyone in their day to day lives. In Shakespeare’s play, Romeo and Juliet, love is shown in a variety of ways and can make people do crazy things. Love can be friendly, forced, or romantic.

There is no doubt that Shakespeare’s works make people groan and want to avoid Literature class. However, Romeo and Juliet being read in the 9th grade curriculum is helpful to students. There are various benefits, such as increased skill in understanding text based on context clues, to reading the play in class. After all the responsibility of having to read Romeo and Juliet is gone, the students are more knowledge on the man that inspired many love stories. They have knowledge of what English used to look like in the 1600s. There are still some people that will disagree.

Some may say Capulet wouldn’t have been the only one to protest Romeo and Juliet’s marriage, but he had the final say in Juliet’s life. Lord Capulet, “Send for the county.; Go tell him of this. I’ll have this knot knit up tomorrow morning.”(IV. ii. 21-22) If Lord Capulet never moved up the wedding, there would have been more time for the news to travel to Romeo. Many people argue that he was doing it for right reasons, that his decision was for the better of the family and he did it unintentionally, but it was still his fault for forcing this marriage so suddenly on Juliet. It is Lord Capulets fault because he is too protective over Juliet. Some people may say Juliet could have just stood up to her father and tell him straight forward how she wanted to marry Romeo and not Paris, however, he was just so overbearing and possessive, she was too nervous to come forward and say it. Lord Capulet. “Hang thee, young baggage! Disobedient wretch! I tell thee to a church Thursday or never after look at me in the face.” (III. v. 180-183) By Lord Capulet being so strict with Juliet, moving up the wedding, and being too protective, Juliet was forced to make up an incredibly dangerous plan, leading to the young couple committing suicide.

Capulet was also to blame for the reason that, he forced Juliet to get married. If Capulet would have let Juliet make her own decisions she could possibly still be alive. “Hang thee, young baggage! Disobedient wretch! I tell thee what: get thee to church o’ Thursday, or never after look me in the face:” (DBQ: Project, 2013) Capulet is telling Juliet if she does not get married to Paris she will be kicked out of the home, back then women had no rights, therefore Juliet had to obey her father’s

Romeo's death was caused by his own actions because he knowingly marries Juliet despites their families are fighting. The chorus describes the families as “both alike in dignity” and that “from ancient grudge breaks into new mutiny” (20). The families are alike in social and economic status but yet they have been fighting constantly for years. Even currently, they are fighting over nothing. Romeo is very aware of this fact and even fights with Capulets himself, so he is aware of the potential problems of marrying a Capulet. However, he marries her instantly because he does not think through his actions and is too hasty. They are forced to keep their relationship a secret, causing problems and miscommunication that later causing a chain-reaction of events leading to his death.

Teacher and classmates, A few weeks ago, I questioned Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet wondering why, why is this literature still prominent in today's society? The foreign tongue it is written in, the seemingly basic and boring plot and the lack of action all combined being regarded as one of man’s greatest achievements didn't quite equate. However through my studies of the question, How effectively does Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet shape our notion of love, I realised. Throughout the text lies defining moments of romantic, fickle and fraternal love and the complexity of the text allows for both interpretation while maintaining relatability. However our perception of love, the strong feeling of affection, has differed immensely since 1595. Romeo and Juliet, a story over four centuries old is the foundation of love and romance throughout history.

Emotions guide almost every aspect of our everyday lives. As humans we have started wars or maybe just say something we don’t mean to a family member. These can be emotionally driven responses to possibly minewt problems but instead turn into major conflicts because of the way they are handled. This has been called a thousand different things, impulsiveness, irresponsibility, or fsknsjbrobsnkglhvjk. In William Shakespeare’s infamous play Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare shows us the extent of the consequences that arise when we allow our emotions to control our actions. Romeo was emotionally driven with many of the decisions he made in the play, as a result the tragic ending we all know. Emotions cloud our judgement and lead us to make poor choices.

Romeo and Juliet was written by William Shakespeare as a play for the theatre. William Shakespeare took his idea from an Italian folk story and is heavily influenced by sonnets which where developed by Francesco Petrarch an Italian poet. Shakespeare took most of his inspiration for Petrarch for demonstrating love with in the poem.

Lord and Lady Capulet are the parents of young Juliet. The Capulets have always hated the Montagues, and the generations of Capulets to come are all supposed to hate the Montagues. This is the reason Juliet felt her relationship with Romeo had to be concealed. Lord and Lady Capulet also influence the tragedy greatly by forcing Juliet to marry Paris that Thursday when she is still grieving over Romeo being banished to Mantua. Lord Capulet declares that he will disown Juliet if she does not wed Paris. This action is the reason that Juliet seeks help from Friar Lawrence. If the Capulets were not so forceful with Juliet, she probably would not have been desperate enough to perform Friar Lawrence’s plan. Had she not preformed Friar Lawrence’s plan, none of the final deaths would have transpired. Reflecting on these reasons, it is clear how the Capulet family could have been responsible for the ending

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

At the beginning, Romeo and Juliet are in love, but this love lets them to die, and today they are a symbol that represents the love. Lawrence said, "I married them, and their stol'n marriage-day" (Shakespeare). When the person is in love, he/she will not think about anything except the person that they love and how to be with him/her. Also, the person will be impetuous because they will take decisions without recognizing the consequences. Therefore, Romeo and Juliet suddenly decide to marry secretly without thinking of their family, friends, society, and even themselves. And they love each other fast so they don't know each other very well. Also, Lawrence said, " Or in my cell there would she kill herself."(Shakespeare). Love can lead to suicide. When the person feels he/she will lose their love, he/she will think that they will lose everything, so why they should live. In other hand, they may use the suicide to make other scare about them so they will help or agree with them. And
