The Tragedy Of Romeo And Juliet By William Shakespeare

Once in our lifetimes we all go through a tragedy, but who is responsible? In Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, several characters are responsible for the deaths in the play. The characters; the Capulets, Friar Laurence, and Tybalt are the ones most responsible.

Hatred, resentment, and love are all a form of disaster. When the are mixed together it creates the greatest natural disaster of all time. Romeo is a romantic and heavy hearted. He is exiled because he killed Tybalt. Eventually he decides to go see Juliet, even though he could be killed. Juliet is love struck and a little naive. She wants to marry Romeo, even though he is a Montague and their families hate each other. At the end of Act III, eventually she decides to marry him or end her life because she can not live without him. In the great love story, Romeo and Juliet, the two lovers were doomed from the beginning. The hatred that their parents have for eachother, end up killing both of their children.

True love is selfless. It is prepared to sacrifice. This is the dominant theme in Shakespeare 's The Tragedy of Romeo & Juliet, a play is about two rival noble families from Verona, the Capulets and Montagues. Indeed, the two families have such an ongoing hatred for each other that they are constantly feuding violently without end. Having had enough, Prince Escalus, the Prince of Verona, one day decrees the penalty of death to be upon the person who disrupts the peace again. It is against this vicious backdrop that Shakespeare by contrast, accentuates love in Romeo and Juliet. Three different types of love are depicted: the infatuation of Romeo, the son and heir of Montague, with a woman named Rosaline; the arranged love between Juliet, the daughter of Capulet, and Paris, a kinsman of Prince Escalus, whom Juliet’s parents have chosen to be her suitor; and ultimately, the true love between Romeo and Juliet, whose families are each other’s worst and greatest enemies.

Teens in the stage of growing up needs the trust and support from their family and friends to be able to survive in this world. Most teens are like puppets who become the person that their parents want them to be, but as they mature into adults, they have their own desires and ways of thinking, which enable them to break free from the puppet control and become who they really are. In the play Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare, the playwright used the Nurse, Lord Capulet, and Friar Lawrence to show how taming the wills of the teens and forcing their wishes upon them could turn the play Romeo and Juliet into a tragic love story.

“Throw your mistempered weapons to the ground, And hear the sentence of your moved Prince.” Does anybody know where this demanding quote came from ? An drama/action play called “Romeo & Juliet” by William shakespeare. The character who said this quote was the leader and ruler of Verona, Prince Escalus. Princes demand led to order because he has authority over his people and keeps the peace of his city.This play was about two families Montagues And Capulets who have a history and hatred against each other. But two star-crossed lovers Romeo and Juliet, both from two different families fall in love and wanted to be together. But what stands in the way of their love is their family feud. In this play there are a lot of Vendettas, Secrets, Hatred, Death/Murder, And Power. Is Order needed to civilize people from chaos? Yes because, without order and someone to lead and bring order there would be chaos and violence.

In Friar Laurence’s soliloquy duality is present in almost the whole passage. It helps show the development of the foreshadowing of both Romeo and Juliet’s fate of their death. Mostly the duality shown is light vs. dark and good vs. evil duality, but other smaller hints of other duality themes are shown as well. Through these additions to the test, Shakespeare is able to better portray the development of themes in the following scenes. This passage contains a large amount of symbolism and imagery as well, constantly referring to the herbs and plants as Friar is looking in the field. But while there are two different duality examples, they are connected by how they both represent the overall good and bad present in the novel. This duality connects to the particular theme of the inevitability of fate. While fate is not always a bad thing, Friar Laurence sets it up as seemingly bad and almost evil, “And where the worser is predominant,” (II.iii.29) He remarks earlier in that passage as well that nothing cannot be put to both good and bad uses, so he overall is saying that the fate at the moment is seemingly evil, but that Romeo and Juliet can turn the situation around to make it look better than it does. Going back the line about how the bad usually takes control, in the way that the two lovers are handling the situation, they only see it as bad and not the good that it has the ability to be.

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that,” said Martin Luther King, Jr. Romeo and Juliet is a classic piece of literature written by a famous poet and writer, William Shakespeare. This piece is known to be a love tragedy. It takes place in Verona, Italy, and is about two families embroiled in conflict: the Montagues and the Capulets. Throughout the play, Romeo and Juliet fall in love and get married in secret. Neither family is aware that Romeo and Juliet are in love. Within this expressive writing, many people experience death: Tybalt, Mercutio, Romeo’s mother, and Paris. The play concludes with Romeo and Juliet both dying in the name of love. Throughout the poem, many characters

In all situations, blame points its finger at many people. In most cases however, only one person possesses true responsibility. In Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, teenagers Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet, the son and daughter of long-time rival families fall desperately in love with each other at first sight. By fate, Romeo gets exiled from his hometown Verona, and Juliet’s father forces her to marry someone other than her husband Romeo just after their secret marriage. Once Romeo moves to Mantua, a miscommunication causes both lovers to take their lives, ending the tragic story as well as the family feud. The blame for the deaths of star-crossed lovers Romeo and Juliet, cannot be traced back to one person; however, the blame for the tragedy traces back to three major figures.

“Tempering extremities with extreme sweet.”(pro.14) The Act II prologue of Romeo and Juliet uses quite a few extreme words, which, being a romantic tragedy written by William Shakespeare, has many hidden meanings, many of which are demonstrated through foreshadowing. Shakespeare, a playwright from the Elizabethan era who wrote many famous plays, was well know for his play on words, which often prefigures a later event in the play. In William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, the Act Two prologue foreshadows the extreme themes of death and blindness, love versus lust, and passion versus power, all of which will become visible in Act II.

Names play an important role in Romeo and Juliet, as names are what define the sides of the feuding families within the play. Not only does Shakespeare name his characters well, but he also uses different methods of naming throughout the play that references back to specific characters. Within Romeo and Juliet, however, Shakespeare’s methods of naming take on a form that indicates language as key and the two lovers are driven back towards the culture of their fictional world of Verona. Shakespeare uses names and naming in the world within the play to demonstrate its importance as the two lovers attempt to defy the linguistic conventions of “Verona” culture in terms of identity. This defiance of culture indicates that the play is a tragedy

The play, “Romeo and Juliet” by William Shakespeare is a classic Elizabethan-styled tragedy, with two star-crossed lovers doomed by their families’ long standing feud. In the play, Shakespeare constantly outlines the theme of hate and its destructiveness, conveying a strong moral tale to the audience and characters. Juliet’s hate and resentment towards her parents became the spark that later on caused the destructive death of Romeo, Juliet and Paris. Furthermore, the hate-filled feud between the Montagues and Capulets lead to the tragic death of Tybalt and Mercutio, causing a great deal of destructiveness. Finally, the damage that both houses suffered at the end of the play puts forward the strong moral of “hate only destroys” to the audience.

When one thinks of the word “love,” the idea of romance often comes to mind.

William Shakespeare’s famous play Romeo and Juliet is filled with serious decisions. The two title “star-crossed lovers,” Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet, not only decide to get married mere days after their first meeting, but also choose to carry out a ridiculous plan to avoid an unwanted marriage and eventually kill themselves (prologue). Although such subject matter is not often found in young adult novels, the impulsivity of this behavior is a mark of Romeo and Juliet’s teenage inexperience. Their immaturity ultimately results in drastic consequences— namely, their own deaths; however, their naiveté was not a hazard for the entirety of the play. The way it affects their decisions and relationships with others changes over time, different at the start of the book before they meet than at the end, when they both finally make the monumental decision to commit suicide. Before they first encounter each other, Romeo and Juliet’s immaturity is harmless, but after their first meeting and as their relationship develops, it begins to prove dangerous.

After reading Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, it is evident that many types of love are incorporated throughout the play. Shakespeare makes it clear that the type of love for a friend is different from the type of love shown for a significant other or a relative. The actions and attitudes of a person towards another can be based on the type of relationship between the two. The author uses friendship, familial love, and romantic love to express the feelings of the characters, and provide an understanding of the true meaning of what love is.

There are many Shakespearean plays, and there are many characters in each play but in Romeo and Juliet, Juliet is far more memorable than any other character. Juliet is the lover of Romeo and she will do anything for love, and she will care for others no matter what. While the other characters are memorable, Juliet is the most alluring because of the way Shakespeare uses her in the play. Shakespeare uses each character in the play a certain way, but the way she used Juliet was the most interesting. Shakespeare creates a strong character by using strong character traits for her. In Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare demonstrates love by using Juliet's Strong character traits to strengthen the plot. This makes Juliet a memorable character because
