William Shakespeare 's Romeo And Juliet

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.

As Shakespeare composes this tragic love story “Violent delights have violent ends / And in their triumph die, like fire and power, / Which as they kiss consume” (2.6.9). In the play Romeo and Juliet an enchanted love leads to violent ends and consumes two people’s lives until their powerful death. When Romeo first lays eyes on the gorgeous Juliet it is love at first sight. Though their love is authentic and empowering, it is also entirely banned. William Shakespeare writes this masterpiece with much delight but also great sorrow. Romeo and Juliet is the most abiding love story of all time. Shakespeare uses many literary devices in his works. Throughout this story the character Juliet changes remarkably. Shakespeare provides evidence for

Emotions are an important part of life. Without emotions, there would be no feelings, like sadness, happiness, anger, and the world would be dull. Sometimes emotions lead people to do things that defeat reason and go against what is ‘right’ in their society. So when do emotions defeat reason? Three books that illustrate strong emotions are, “Romeo and Juliet” a script by William Shakespeare, “Pride and Prejudice” a novel by Jane Austen, and “I am Malala” a memoir by Malala Yousafzai and Christina Lamb. These books help illustrate emotions are stronger than reason because in all books the main characters have to overcome a problem or obstacle where their emotions defeat reason. In “Romeo and Juliet”, Romeo and Juliet aren’t allowed to be

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

“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.

One emotion that is evident throughout the texts is that consequence. In the play Romeo has previously abstained from becoming embroiled in the violence that tybalt is trying to get him Engadget in but mercuito Romeo best friend steps in to protect his friend and take his place and fight tybalt from the house of capulet. From all the bravery and loyalty the mercuito showed for Romeo he was slain when Romeo tried to stop the fight between him and tybalt, and mercuito ends up dying. In mercuito last word he stated "A plague on both your houses" Is a blanc verse the reason for that is their is no rhythm which makes it iambic pentameter. Mercurio uses a metaphor after cursing the two households, Montague 's and the Capulet 's, and shows the reader that he blames both of the households in part for causing his death. Shakespeare allowed this quote to have no rhyme because it 's a foreshadowing quote which is a turning point in the story which highlight to the audience that the two house capulet and montage will suffer from what had happened in that scene because of the death of tybalt from the opposite house the capulets. The others don 't know about the love story between Romeo and Juliet and their intentions to ignore their tradition and their family 's name for the sake of getting married and perusing their love together. But the Word "Plague" it 's meaning is epically repaired to Romeo because he had killed a capulet it 's as almost as soon as he had killed tybalt from the

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.

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.

He Drank the Poison; She Drew the Dagger; Romeo, Juliet and Others Accountable for Their End

William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet is permeated with intense, quick, and tragic passion that erupts between two lovers. Readers may be finding themselves screaming to many of the characters in the play to “slow down!” Although Romeo and Juliet had an intense and abrupt romance, there were warning signs that they did not listen to. In act 2 scene 6 Friar Lawrence is set to wed Romeo and Juliet. By overlooking scene 6 it is apparent to see how short it is, which represents a quick and hasty marriage, but more implicitly represents the lovers hasty decision making. Friar Lawrence’s quick words right before the two join in marriage show a huge warning sign of what is to come. He foreshadows the bitter and dark future for the two lovers and for many other characters in the play.

Romeo and Juliet, is a story of forbidden love, drama, and identity. 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 fourteen line I chose to annotate and perform is a monologue made by Romeo. This happens right after Romeo gets to Juliet’s grave, then meets Paris, fights Paris, and kills Paris.[a]Right before Paris dies, he says “Oh, I am slain! If thou be merciful, Open the tomb. Lay me with Juliet” (Shakespeare 5.3.72-73). Paris is brave and proud enough to tell Romeo, the person that kills him, to put him in the grave next to Juliet, who he was going to marry. Romeo’s true love for Juliet caused all of this in the first place. In the play, The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare persuades the audience to see what can arise when love is at its pinnacle, that the true power of love can change the life of a person in an instant.[b] Romeo has mixed feelings standing next to Juliet at her grave, and he expresses them in weird ways. Romeo becomes confused after he gets a better look at the person who he had killed, he then only finds that it was Paris. In that hurry, Romeo is again confused, he thought that Balthasar had told him Paris was going to marry Juliet, then he says “Said he not so? Or did I dream it so?” (Shakespeare 5.3.79). Romeo is not sure of what he remembers. This whole event has been a lot on Romeo, and it is caused a slight mental breakdown. I wonder if Shakespeare is showing what love and tragedy can cause to a person, or what happens when you decide to die next to the person you loved and married.

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.
