There are many different reoccurring themes presented throughout the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. It is highly important for readers to acknowledge how the theme of revolting against authority reflects greatly on the characters and the calamities that occur. The plot focuses on the struggles against social, political and personal influences, which either explicitly or implicitly oppose the existence of their underlying conditions. Throughout the play, characters perform rebellious behaviours which illustrate their oblivion towards the predictable consequences of their actions. Shakespeare illustrates the theme of revolt against society through the feud concerning the Montague and Capulet families.

“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”. Good morning Class, today I will be exploring the human relationship of love in modern interpretations of ‘Romeo and Juliet’ written by William Shakespeare. Shakespearean time was between the middle Ages and the Industrial Revolution and it was branded by religious changes. William Shakespeare is widely known as the greatest dramatist of all time. Born April 1564, Shakespeare’s play ‘Romeo and Juliet’ is no doubt one of his most famous pieces. ‘Romeo and Juliet’ was first published in 1597 and its tragic story of banned love still captures the creativity of its audience today. ‘Romeo and Juliet’, although not confined to, is an illustration of three aspects of human relationships; family, love and conflict. These features are still relevant in our modern lives because they are so relatable and the majority of individuals experience them. While Shakespeare dealt with these characteristics of human relationships modern transformations of Romeo and Juliet have recontextualized the play into the Twenty First Century. In 1995 the Australian director Baz Luhrmann transformed love in ‘Romeo and Juliet’ to a modern version while keeping the dialogue the same. Shakespeare’s ‘Romeo and Juliet’ has inspired many interpretations of the play as it contains the human relationships of love, conflict and family that can be understood by different audience.

Fate,played an important in Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. According to Webster Dictionary Fate is the development of events beyond a person’s control regarded by a supernatural power.At the start of the play, the prolauge acts as a story teller telling the story of not Remeo and Juliet, but thier fate: “A pair of star-cross’d lover take thier life” ( prologue,6). This means that Fate has already decided their destiny and they were meant to die.Tybalt Killing Mercutio, Juliet being forced to marry Paris and Friar John not able to deliver the letter all led to the fate destroying the happy living for Romeo and Juliet.

“Out upon her! Thou torturest me, Tubal. It was my turquoise. I had it of Leah when I was a bachelor. I would not have given it for a wilderness of monkeys” (Shakespeare 114).

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.

Act 1, Scene 5 of Romeo and Juliet involves five drastically different characters, all with varying goals and personality traits: Tybalt, Lord Capulet, Romeo, Juliet, and the Nurse. Tybalt’s defining traits are his hot-headedness and hatred of peace. His temper and protectiveness lead to a desire to protect the Capulets from any Montague intrusion. His arrogance also plays a large role; by challenging someone to a fight, he can display his skills in combat. To outsiders, Lord Capulet may seem vastly different from Tybalt, seeming jovial, but within his family, he is similarly short-tempered. While he wants his guests to enjoy themselves in order to be a polite host, he also wants to avoid breaking the law against public fighting. Therefore, when Tybalt readies himself to fight Romeo, Capulet steps in and admonishes him in order to avoid tarnishing his reputation. Romeo, on the other hand, is quick to love and quick-- almost hasty- in acting. He longs for something (such as the party) to take his mind off Rosaline, but his belief in fate does not entirely allow him to do so, as he had previously believed horrible events would take place if he went to the party. This belief causes him to exit abruptly, despite having just met Juliet. Juliet herself is lonely and simultaneously standoffish and naive. She wishes to find someone she truly loves, and finds this in Romeo. Although her defensive nature makes her reject him at first, her naivety eventually leads her

Shakespeare probably lived in one of the worst times to be alive. Considering that majority of what was happening was not good, he used it to his advantage. Numerous diseases and sicknesses, natural remedies and herbs and most importantly witchcraft. He somehow incorporated all these things into Romeo and Juliet. Assuming his creativity got the best of him, he used all these things in his play and they also played huge parts in his story. All things considered these three important factors in Romeo and Juliet have more history than people thought.

The extended feud of the families separated the two from experiencing a joyful marriage, which had turned into grievances. The feud between the Montagues and the Capulets caused major bitterness in Romeo and Juliet’s relationship. Their disputes, described as “from ancient grudge break to new mutiny” (page 20, line 3), had continued for so many years that no one even knew how it began. Their families’ names meant everything to them. “His name is Romeo, and a Montague; The only son of your great enemy.”

“A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life…” Fate can be a tricky thing. It’s something inevitable, unchangeable and something that everyone is forced to live through, as it is the ultimate map of life. We have no power to go against its plan. However, there are those rare times in the timeline of our world where people have been able to defy the power of fate and bend the rules. From the beginning, Romeo and Juliet’s fate was etched into stone, destined to come after them, like an invisible arrow that never misses its target. From the beginning, these lovers were destined to cut their own lines of life. Somehow along the way, a separate path was created, breaking off of the natural line of fate, changing the lives of Romeo and Juliet forever. Fate intended to kill them; they avoided its dagger. They were able to see the morning light of the fifth day. They were able to run away from their feuding families and begin a new life of their own. Not only were they able to live with their love in peace, but along the way, they were able to discover a new joy in life: children. But, there comes a time when one can avoid Fate’s grasp for so long. In the end, Fate has the ultimate power, and in the end, life must abide by its design. This is the story of their lives 5 years after, how they found a new home, had kin of their own, and how they eventually ended up back in the palm of Fate’s hand.

William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet continues to be one of the most compelling tragedies ever written inspiring many adaptations, most notably Baz Luhrmann’s 1996 adaptation Romeo + Juliet. Unlike most genres, tragedy is constricting, and a work must adhere to certain guidelines to be considered a true tragedy. Such is the case with Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo + Juliet, which, while it is fundamental with the text, ends up as a stylized attempt at tragedy thwarted by editorial choices. According to Aristotle’s Poetics, a tragedy is the fall of a great person due to a tragic flaw and the mistakes that come of it, which in turn encourages catharsis, or emotional purging in the audience. It is of epic scope and the downfall of the hero is

The tone of this book is very passionate, romantic, emotional, however, also very violent and intense. It’s because of all the love and
