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.

In William Shakespeare’s tragic play Romeo and Juliet, a tale of two star-crossed lovers fall victim to their family’s rivalry. Romeo’s love for Juliet clouded his common sense, and made him act too swiftly on his decisions which caused tragedy. Romeo’s impulsive behavior which he learned from his family in the rivalry, negatively affects three characters in the play. Romeo’s emotionally decided decisions caused the death of Mercutio, Tybalt, Juliet, and himself.

“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.

“If love be rough with you, be rough with love” (1.4 27). Words of Mercutio, a supporting character. Romeo & Juliet by William Shakespeare, an award winning play, depicts the story of a pair of star crossed lovers. Death one of the main themes, announced during the prologue, occurs many times throughout this play. Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet, children of two different houses, fall into a deep love for each other that eventually plummets them to their demise. Shakespeare treats death as a punishment for those who did another wrong, and makes it almost humorous because of the amount of irony that led up to that moment.

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.

Love. Many associate the word with kindly feelings towards others and generally positive thoughts. It is a word that we use to describe our emotions of affection, devotion, fondness, and friendship. William Shakespeare 's Romeo and Juliet centers around the epic, yet tragic, love of two adolescents. With Shakespeare’s use of figurative language and literary devices, he creates a central theme that love, no matter how strong or sweet, is poison. The term poison, although not commonly associated with love, is connected to the emotion by the use of symbolism throughout the play. By doing so, the reader reciprocates with a of sense of warning and a feeling of desperation to try and make love work. “Stay With Me” by vocal

The play starts off as a man by the name of Don Pedro and his fellow officers are returning to Messina from war. Leonato is informed that Don Pedro wishes to come to his home for a month. Before the war, Hero, Leonato 's only daughter, had been attracted to Claudio. Leonato holds a masked ball to celebrate the end of the War, and also to celebrate Claudio and Hero’s engagement. Don John, the dukes brother, plots to mess up this relationship. Alot of deceit and lies take place during the play. We are all taught to “Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none” (William Shakespeare). As humans we should love and care for all our neighbors. Trusting people is a very difficult task that nobody can do easily. If you truly love someone and you know

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.

“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 is completely compressed in Shakespeare 's preface: "Two family units, both alike in respect, in reasonable Verona where we lay our scene. From old resentment break to new uprising where common blood make common hands unclean. From forward the deadly loins of these two adversaries, a couple of star crossed darlings who take their life" (Universal, 1996). This film is a wonderful finish of the chief 's amazing capacity to make an effective presentation, to choose a practical, however dreamlike setting, to pick sensible on-screen characters, and to authorize specific emotional impacts.

“Imagine all the people living life in peace. You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one. I hope someday you’ll join us, and the world can live as one”. These are the lyrics to the song “Imagine”. This song was played after the tragic attacks on Paris on November 11, 2015. There is another story, though. A story that people say is the most tragic and is like none other. That story is the story of Romeo and Juliet, written by Shakespeare. The strange thing is that even though Romeo and Juliet is a love story and the Paris attacks are terrorist attacks, they are both tragedies. We can compare these tragedies and see their similarities and differences by looking at the total number of casualties, reactions experienced, and at the

Shakespeare is a figure shrouded in mystery. In this paper, the title of “Shakespeare” will refer to the author of the works currently credited to William Shakespeare of Stratford-upon-Avon. Shakespeare is undoubtedly one of the most famous writers of all time. He created masterpieces like Hamlet, Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet, and several more. For a long period of time, William Shakespeare from Stratford-upon-Avon was considered the author of all the works credited to Shakespeare. For over a century people have questioned whether or not William Shakespeare actually authored the works credited to him. In this ever popular debate, one candidate stands out as the most likely alternate author of Shakespeare’s numerous comedies, tragedies, sonnets, and historical plays. Edward de Vere, the 17th Earl of Oxford, is considered by many to be the true writer of Shakespeare; however, for reasons known only to him, decided not to take credit for the plays, and used the name William Shakespeare to mask his true identity. Because there is convincing evidence for both candidates and a lack of information for the time period Shakespeare lived in, it cannot be stated with absolute certainty that either of these two individuals is the true Shakespeare; however, of the two, the candidate most likely to be Shakespeare is Edward de Vere, the 17th Earl of Oxford.
