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.

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.

Love is like a flame, it provides you with warmth, but too much of it can also burn you. Such is the plot of the play, Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. It is a tragedy about two lovers, Romeo and Juliet, who unfortunately, belong to families who bear an ancient grudge against each other. In the play, Romeo and Juliet fall in love and quickly decide to marry each other. At the end, Romeo and Juliet’s decisions cause their untimely death, but in reality, there were other people who also contributed to the lover’s death. Friar Laurence, the Nurse and Lord Capulet are responsible for the tragic deaths of Romeo and Juliet.

Romeo and Juliet is a tragic love story which results in both of the lovers’ deaths. Romeo and Juliet come from feuding families who have a strong hatred. When they fall in love, they obviously don’t want their families to know. The story tells of how they try to maintain their love until both lovers kill themselves out of grief. Many characters have an influence in their deaths and in theory, every single character could blamed to some degree. But Friar Laurence, a man of the church and a good friend of Romeo, is most responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. Despite other characters actions, Friar Laurences failure to notify Romeo of his plan, marrying them secretly, and his advice to both Romeo and Juliet played the biggest role in their deaths.

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

Of all the love stories ever written in literature, none is as famous as William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. The well-known and well-acclaimed tragedy about a pair of star-crossed lovers separated by their feuding families has become the ultimate standard in romantic literature. Every aspect of the story has been praised throughout centuries, and it is regarded as one of the greatest literary masterpieces of all time. One of the most central plot points of the play is the waging feud between the Capulet and Montague families, a massive grudge that has lasted for generations and engulfs many aspects of each family’s lifestyle. There are numerous long-lasting effects of the feud that cannot be undone, such as the deaths of numerous

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 's 'Romeo and Juliet ' variously links to the poetry; 'The Flea ', by John Donne, 'Valentine ', by Carol Ann Duffy, and 'Sonnet 116 ', by Shakespeare. The first association is through theme, as Sonnet 116 demonstrates the importance of eternal love and through situation, such as how 'Valentine ' ends with violent imagery, so does the play. Another way in which the drama links to the poetry is by character, Romeo and the protagonist of 'The Flea ' convey characteristics of a courtly lover in the beginning. The character in 'Valentine ' and Juliet both aspire to be honest and are pragmatic in their commitment. Lastly, the drama can be connected to the poetry through language/imagery/tone. A similar tone of bitterness is

Explore the ways in which romantic love is presented through the character of Romeo in comparison to the attitudes of speakers in a selection of Renaissance and Metaphysical poetry by Donne, Marvell and Shakespeare.

Love can be defined in many ways to many different people. It can be affected by their past experience, a romance novel they’ve read, or a love between two individuals they look up to. To most people it’s something they strive to experience, no matter the obstacles, heartbreak, or baggage that comes with it. Not too long ago I read an article about whether love is a choice or more than a feeling and it really made me wonder; wonder how can we tell if it is true love and when we’re ready for it. It lead me to ask the question, did Romeo and Juliet really love each other? Or was it just a simple feeling of lust?

In the plays, Romeo and Juliet and 1 Henry VI, by William Shakespeare, the concept of humoral theory helps to explain many of the behaviors the characters display in the plays. Humoral theory works to explain workings within the human body. According to the Welcome Library of London, “Humors existed as liquids within the body and were identified as blood, phlegm, black bile and yellow bile. These were in turn associated with the fundamental elements of air, water, earth and fire.” The elements are then associated with different temperaments, which is what the reader is concerned with when reading the plays. Air is associated with a jovial or sanguine temperament, water with a phlegmatic temperament, earth with a melancholic temperament, and fire with a choleric temperament. In Romeo and Juliet, there is a tension between the humors and in 1 Henry IV, the reader questions if one can truly possess a balance of humors. Ultimately in both plays, humoral theory works to balance out the main character by exaggerating the temperaments of the secondary characters.

“As You Like It”, is a Shakespearean comedy that is believed to have been written around the 1600’s. This play holds onto many strong motifs throughout the entire play. One of the most obvious motifs would have to be the concept of exile. Many of the characters in the play have been intimidated away from their homes, while others left voluntarily to live in the forest of Arden. This separation from their homes in the court aids in helping Shakespeare’s major themes come alive. The major themes evident in Act 4 Scene 3 is the malleability of humans through experience, the effects of love, and a comparison of city life to country life.

It was a fine night for a party but Juliet was quite unaffected by the merry mood. It seemed that her father had thrown the party just to find her a proper suitor.
