Mercutio, in Act 2, Scene 1, jokes about his best friend in a way that shows they are close to one another: “Romeo! Humors! Madman! Passion! Lover! Appear thou in the likeness of a sigh; speak but one rhyme and I am satisfied!” (7-9). The influence of Mercutio’s character is clearly shown throughout the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, simply because Mercutio is Romeo’s inspiration for most of his decisions. Their friendship strengthens the choices made by the main characters. To put it simply, Mercutio plays a more vital role than Tybalt since he has a strong bond with Romeo. Mercutio is an overall more important character than Tybalt because his actions drive Romeo to make poor, impulsive decisions, he foreshadows the deaths

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.

In this piece of work I will be examining the reaction to loss of life in Romeo and Juliet, as well as 3 other poems. This piece will be analysing Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare.

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

“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

I believe that Romeo 's and Juliet 's suicidal impulse doesn’t just come from the "love" aspect of the play, but mainly from the "young" aspect. Both Romeo and Juliet are enormously impetuous throughout the drama. Romeo is already been pining away for another girl named Rosaline at the beginning of the play, but immediately forgets her the instant he sees Juliet. (The friar even chides him fast his affections change.) Also, at the beginning of the play, Juliet tells her mother that she 's has no intention of marriage, but of course that changes when she meets Romeo. On top of their natural impulsivity, which the play is littered with before their suicides, both lovers haven’t the experience of a broken heart nor time it takes to heal.

Two families at war, a love so forbidding it’s deadly, referring of course to the classic William Shakespeare play of “Romeo and Juliet”, set in Verona, Italy. The play examines two families, the Montauges and the Capulets caught in an ongoing battle of hate, however two of the children manage to find love. All is not fair in love and war, and this play examines some examples of how love and hate correlate to each other in this captivating tale of “Romeo and Juliet”.

Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet catalogs the happenings of two rivalry families and the civil brawls that revolve around their feud. Using a love story as context, Shakespeare is able to portray the consequences of ancient grudge. Through comic books, the underlying story of the two lovers can take the main stage without altering the intended message of the dangers of civil brawls and misunderstood hate. The change in focus is possible while still maintaining merit is due to the editing of original text, character portrayal and development, and rough panel design representing the harsh environment.

William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet is centered around the tragic story of two “star-cross’d lovers”. A tragedy is a dramatic story that chronicles the downfall or death of a tragic hero. Tragedies usually depict the causes of a tragic hero’s downfall, which are most commonly a tragic choice or a tragic flaw. There is often some sort of greater power at play in tragedies, like fate. A key aspect of tragedies is both fate and free will leading to the downfall of a tragic hero. In William Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, Romeo and Juliet’s immaturity, the feud between the houses Capulet and Montague, and fate cause the deaths of the two young lovers.
