Young lovers defy their families’ long-established vendetta and jeopardize all they have to continue their relationship. The violent commotion between the two lovers, Romeo and Juliet, finally bring peace to their feuding families, with their own death. Like with many suicide cases, there are challenges and decisions being made that lead up to this decision. Often times, we question who contributed to the suicide. Regardless, others argue that Romeo and Juliet should be held accountable for their ultimate decision. Then again, there is no definite reason to assign fault to Romeo and Juliet. Not only are their brains not fully developed, but pressures from outside forces caused such stress within the relationship.

In Romeo and Juliet, love is depicted in several ways. Both Luhrman and Shakespeare represent love in different ways in different contexts to both the Elizabethan era and the contemporary audience. Both the original and later manifestations of the text are valued because they both communicate to the audience on the values of love and society by employing a variety of devices.

I have resided in Verona for the better part of forty years and never have I seen such a mishandled case as this. Firstly, the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet is the tragedy of Verona. Their story comes only as a result of a deep seated hatred that in the past you have not condoned. Yet your strict attitude cost a man his life. Now three bodies have been laid to rest as a result of Romeo 's banishment. You should have allowed Romeo to remain in Verona following Mercutio and Tybalt 's deaths. The punishment may fit the crime, but not the circumstances. Romeo 's banishment was unjust.

In William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, the appellation characters are teenagers who abatement in adulation at aboriginal sight. Undeterred by the abhorrence that exists amid their families, they foolishly ally which sets off an alternation of abrupt accomplishments that advance to their deaths. Both Romeo and Juliet seek the admonition of the adults in their lives, but are met with carelessness according to their own. Shakespeare’s affair that abrupt accomplishments can generally accept adverse after-effects is illustrated through Friar Lawrence’s analysis of Romeo and Juliet’s accord and Lord Capulet’s hasty accommodation of Juliet’s alliance to Paris. Shakespeare’s affair that abrupt accomplishments can generally accept adverse

Originating from Latin America, the name Tybalt signifies “he who sees.” However, in the play, Tybalt fails to see how his actions lead to conflicts and ultimately the downfall of certain characters. Being part of the Capulet family, which is one of the most powerful families in Verona, Tybalt has a close relationship with Juliet and also loathes all the Montagues, for the Montagues are the rivals of the Capulets. Tybalt, throughout the story, tries to fight the Montagues, which sometimes result to unfortunate events. At the end of the story, Romeo decides to commit suicide when he is made to believe that Juliet is dead, but Juliet awakens from her made up

Love and hate have been long-standing rivals since the dawn of time. People will often say ‘love conquers all.’ However, in Shakespeare’s fictitious play, Romeo and Juliet, that is, unfortunately, far from the actual case. In Verona, Italy, the Capulets and the Montagues have a deep-seated hatred, however, the prologue tells the reader that from these two families full of bitter hate, a pair of lovers will come. But it is also already foretold that they were not destined to survive. Hate can be an all-consuming force, and that is not only true, but very evident throughout the play. The rancorous family feud develops much of the action and manifests more feuds as the plot continues on, these being the quarrel between the two families’ servants, Mercutio against Tybalt, and Romeo against Tybalt.

In my opinion, the mentors (Friar Lawrence and the Nurse) are most to blame for the deaths of the young star-crossed lovers, Romeo and Juliet. I think this because of the trust shared between the mentors and lovers, the mentors assumed they could stop the ongoing feud by lying to the parents, and the mentors supported Romeo and Juliet’s decision to wed in secrecy.

One of Shakespeare’s most eminent plays, Romeo and Juliet is a tale revolving around a pair of star-crossed lovers whose premature relationship must go undiscovered because of their feuding families. However, in the arduous process of protecting its secrecy, several essential figures including Romeo, Friar Lawrence and the theme of fate play decisive roles that hold responsibility in the turnout of events that lead to a tragic conclusion. Romeo, the lover himself is rebellious and desperate for love. His impulsive personality towards love and marriage establishes danger not only upon himself but as well as his partner Juliet. Friar Lawrence is well-regarded, but his rashness, ignorance, and ill-advised thinking place both lovers in

Regarding the status updates in which he incorporates talk about adversity and about what it means to be a man, he, once again, puts himself in positions of power. Evident through his self-portrayal as a conqueror and his use of the word “man,” in image 4, he claims power on the basis of the close association between power and masculinity. Depicting himself as powerful, self-governing, and pushing past his limits, Romeo conveys the idea that, he is determined to overcome the unfavorable circumstances to which he refers to by using the word, “insanity.” Along the same lines, the use of the word, “insanity” helps him maintain an element of privacy. Accordingly, when asked what he considers to be appropriate or inappropriate publishing content, he responded that, as a man, one must keep certain matters private. That is not to say that, sharing feelings is unacceptable. On the contrary, he encourages that. What he thinks is inappropriate, is for men to share the specifics of the situation at hand, for that seems effeminate. Clearly, Romeo uses linguistic features such as, ‘manly talk’ or ‘adversity talk’ to index stances of strength and self-control. These stances hint at an even bigger picture of gender performance. Through his gender performance, Romeo controls both what he does and does not disclose and his responses to unfavorable situations. His in control masculine stances further support Ainsworth-Vaughn’s postulate, previously discussed. By claiming power, Romeo

While most may think that this play is just one of those love stories read for entertainment, it holds a many connotations that can relate to modern society. As Romeo and Juliet 's love develops, so does their deadly secret retracting them from one another more and more. As these two children learn the true meaning of love, they are blinded by the world around them. Their identity takes a strong stand in their ability to love one another: “My only love sprung from my only hate! Too early seen unknown, and known too late! Prodigious birth of love it is to me” (Shakespeare 15). They both come from dichotomous families; the Montagues and Capulets, the deadly feud between

The play Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare, is known for its romantic tragedy between two star-crossed lovers and whose families are each other 's enemies. The outcome of their own family’s enemy brings the death of the lovers. With all of the deaths, who is truly to blame for Romeo and Juliet 's deaths? Friar Lawrence is most to blame for many obvious, yet overlooked reasons. If we look at some unusual situations, there are some more people we can point at. They are the Montagues and the Capulets, Mercutio, Nurse and Romeo-Juliet themselves.
