William Shakespeare 's 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.

Verona, Italy—from all about comes the clamor of swords as Tybalt of the House Capulet and Mercutio on behalf of the House Montague duel viciously in the streets. As citizens cheer, thirsty for blood, the cries of Romeo Montague increase in volume; for the sake of his new wife, and the penalty recently imposed, he does not want this fight to take place. He is ignored. Desperate, Romeo flings himself between the two men, and a gasp is heard—Tybalt and his companions flee in fear as a bleeding Mercutio sinks to the ground. Another friend, Benvolio Montague, takes him to a safe house after Mercutio shouts his famous final words: “A plague a’ both your houses! / They have made worms’ meat of me: I have it / And soundly too. Your houses!” (3.2.105–08).

Pravinee Hurbungs said, “Don’t fear the enemy that attacks you, but the fake friend that hugs you.” In Shakespeare 's, Romeo and Juliet, Romeo is the enemy that Juliet doesn’t fear, but love, and Friar Lawrence is the fake friend that Juliet should fear. Others could say any other Romeo and Juliet character is to blame for their deaths, but I believe that Friar Lawrence is the one to blame. The friar is the one who married them, gave Juliet the idea to kill herself, and left her by herself when she awoke from her “death.” For those reasons, I believe Friar Lawrence is the most responsible one for both of their deaths.

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

Living in a human society is great, but never perfect. Not everyone gets along together and we do not all necessarily like each other. Humans can sometimes have fights and be hateful to one and another. In the play, Romeo and Juliet, written by William Shakespeare, hate is one of the main themes. The play is about two families, the Capulets and the Montagues, which have been in a feud for quite a long time. They would not hesitate to demonstrate their hatred to one another. Most readers would assume that the blame for the death of the young couple falls on them. However, other people are to blame. In this play, Romeo and Juliet, a teenage couple, die at the end of the play. The tragic death of Romeo and Juliet is the direct result of the feud between the two families, Benvolio (Romeo’s cousin) and Friar Laurence. The feud caused Romeo and Juliet to get married without their parent’s permission; Benvolio caused Romeo to meet and fall in love with Juliet at the Capulet’s ball. Friar Laurence got Romeo and Juliet married and he convinced Juliet to drink a potion to orchestrate her death, but it leads to disastrous consequences.

William Shakespeare’s ‘Romeo and Juliet’ is the acclaimed love story about two ‘star –crossed lovers’ from feuding, households, whose unfortunate deaths ultimately reconciles them. In those times the Shakespearean society would be male dominant and would therefore treat women as inferior beings. Shakespeare used Juliet, the eponymous heroine in his play as a figure to show how a young woman would be treated by different characters at various points of the play.

Juliet Capulet’s courtship also takes place in form of a collaborative composition, but her age indicates a shift in Shakespeare’s work toward young women overall owning more assertive voices. In contrast to Silvia and Valentine, Romeo and Juliet’s initial flirtation in Romeo and Juliet approaches the same idealised love with the transformations that indicate Shakespeare’s growth as an artist toward more complex and active characters. Juliet, like Silvia, is a young woman who has no experience in love beside her interaction with the young man she meets at the beginning of her play. However, her experience differs from Silvia in that she is very young. At thirteen years old (Romeo and Juliet 1.2.9), Juliet is too young even by early modern

2016 is a long way away from the ancient 1595; from the way humans travel to the way they have their homes set up, things have drastically changed. No more do we count on a wooden boat to take a month to bring a shipment from one place to another, but now have airplanes that take a day. People do occasionally go back to the originals, even though it is not necessary. That is how Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare is; people read the old tale even though we do not need to. The reason we go so far back to read these works of art is because William Shakespeare had a huge influence on writing, making it almost necessary for people to read his literary style and how it has evolved into the literature of today. His story Romeo and

Vapidity and dullness thrives in the latest big-screen adaptation of Shakespeare 's timeless tragedy since Baz Luhrman 's quirky yet passionate ‘Romeo + Juliet’(1996) and Franco Zeffirelli 's true-to-fashion classic, ‘Romeo and Juliet’ (1968). Adapted by Julian Fellowes, creator, producer and writer of the multiple award-winning British television series, Downton Abbey (2010-2015), has taken Shakespeare’s mesmerising words to the chopping block, utilising the same emotional beats, lifelessly directed by Carlo Carlei, (the Italian director’s first big budget film) who ricochets the film from a timeless tragedy into a ‘Twilight’ want-to-be. Shot in the actual Verona and at other Italian monuments, the film looks charming, feels merited, and is easy to understand. However ‘Romeo & Juliet’ is a disappointing adaptation that pursues the play’s original outline but is too timid to raise its two fate-bound lovers to the passionate intensity of Shakespeare’s original.

Shakespeare is regarded as a playwright for all times because he deals with themes that are universal to humans across times. Themes such as ‘love as a cause of violence’ and ‘fate’ are encountered today and this is evident in Bernstein and Sondheim’s Westside Story and Romeo and Juliet despite the 600years difference.

With each new rendition of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, a new generation is given that opportunity to connect with one of the greatest tragedies of all time. Although each adaptation had its own unique play on the play, they also provide the occasional twist that make the centuries old story never seem old. From the opening fight scene to the infamous balcony scene even to the final death scene, every adaption provides a different versions of the scenes while still managing to produce the same reaction that Shakespeare had intended. As we analysis the death scene of the 1996 Romeo + Juliet film and the more recent 2013 Romeo & Juliet movie, I am sure it will become clear how Shakespeare’s intent survived in these two completely different, modern adaptations of his work.

Shakespeare lived during the time the violent clashes throughout Europe between Protestant and Catholic leaders and their followers, it was also a time of relative political stability that followed and preceded eras of extensive upheaval. Elizabeth became queen six years before Shakespeare 's birth and London became a cultural and commercial center where learning and literature thrived during her 455-year reign.

Go up to just about any literary scholar and ask them the simple question of, who is the greatest writer known to the planet. Many will respond with a likely sarcastic response, but tell you of the man known as William Shakespeare. He’s most popular for his drama play called Romeo and Juliet, but holds credentials in the literary department for much more than that. He’s written dozens of plays, many dramas such as MacBeth and Hamlet, with some noteworthy comedies for the time period like Much Ado about Nothing and A Midsummer 's Night Dream. While some of his plays have straightforward storylines and the title is extremely revealing about the characters and meaning of the play, other titles are more vague and hidden to the unexamining eye. One title that is noticed for having this effect of being vague to its reader is the dark comedy called Measure by Measure. There are many reasons and theories speculated upon the selection process for Shakespeare’s theatrical titles, but there is no definitive method for each of them. Shakespeare named his dark comedy play Measure for Measure for the small details in social, emotional, and ironic encounters that lead to the play’s ultimate climax.

Power can be defined in many ways. Most simply, it is the ability to get what you want.
