William Shakespeare 's Romeo And Juliet

SAMPSON A dog of that house shall move me to stand. I will take the wall of any man or maid of Montague’s.

William Shakespeare is the world’s pre-eminent dramatist whose plays range from tragedies to tragic comedies, etc. His general style of writing is often comparable to several of his contemporaries, like Romeo and Juliet is based on Arthur Brooke’s narrative poem, “The tragical history of Romeo and Juliet”. But Shakespeare’s works express a different range of human experience where his characters command the sympathy of audiences and also are complex as well as human in nature. Shakespeare makes the protagonist’s character development central to the plot.

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.

Romeo and Juliet is a story with a set of interesting and diverse characters. Many of these characters, if given a modern psychology test could possibly have the symptoms of mental/ personality disorders. The characters following will be matched with different mental disorders that they could possibly have (that make sense) and then compared using symptoms to what they’re like in the book using evidence and research to determine if they actually have said disorder. Tybalt, the angry cousin,may have severe anger issues. Romeo has very different and fast changing personalities throughout the play. Juliet is continuously stressed and breaks down many times. Mercutio is a perverted person who rarely filters what he says.

When people start learning about William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, it can be confusing and pointless due to the fact that two young people fall in love and die for each other. Romeo & Juliet should not be taught in the 9th grade next year or in any year because, the entire story has unrealistics standards, promotes alcohol and drug abuse, as well as graphic depictions of violence, and lastly the usage of english that is no longer used.

Purpose of Romeo and Tybalt’s Characters The characters of Romeo and Tybalt are the complete opposites, but also play a big part in the play, and the theme. Romeo is a lover who tries to avoid conflict, and Tybalt is a fighter who is overly prideful. The two characters change the plays mood and keep the audience interested, while adding the overall theme of the play with their personality alone. The two are very vital characters in the play Romeo and Juliet.

I have resided in Verona for the better part of forty years and never have I seen such a mishandled case as this. Firstly, the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet is the tragedy of Verona. Their story comes only as a result of a deep seated hatred that in the past you have not condoned. Yet your strict attitude cost a man his life. Now three bodies have been laid to rest as a result of Romeo 's banishment. You should have allowed Romeo to remain in Verona following Mercutio and Tybalt 's deaths. The punishment may fit the crime, but not the circumstances. Romeo 's banishment was unjust.

Misleading is defined as: “a person who is deceptive or sends someone in the wrong direction.” Sometimes misleading gets people out of trouble or helps somebody out in a case. In this case though the Friar mislead these kids Romeo and Juliet where they shouldn’t have been lead. In Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet”, Friar Lawrence’s impulsive decisions contributes to the deaths of Romeo and Juliet.

In William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, the appellation characters are teenagers who abatement in adulation at aboriginal sight. Undeterred by the abhorrence that exists amid their families, they foolishly ally which sets off an alternation of abrupt accomplishments that advance to their deaths. Both Romeo and Juliet seek the admonition of the adults in their lives, but are met with carelessness according to their own. Shakespeare’s affair that abrupt accomplishments can generally accept adverse after-effects is illustrated through Friar Lawrence’s analysis of Romeo and Juliet’s accord and Lord Capulet’s hasty accommodation of Juliet’s alliance to Paris. Shakespeare’s affair that abrupt accomplishments can generally accept adverse

One of the most popular Shakespearean plays, Romeo and Juliet, written by William Shakespeare, focuses on the progeny of two families brimmed with abomination for each other. After failing to generate a relationship with Rosaline, Romeo, the impulsive and capricious son of the Montagues, finds himself lost in the eyes of Juliet Capulet. A hasty marriage assembles between the two star-crossed lovers without the endorsement from their kinsmen, and these results prove to be a destructive and fatal mistake. Caught up in this impulsive love affair, Romeo displays many spontaneous personality traits that affect his relationship with Juliet, his friendship with Mercutio, and his actions toward Tybalt.

In the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, figures of authority play a prominent role in the tragedies that take place throughout the story. Friar Lawrence is a respected member of society, and both the Capulet and Montague families trust him for advice and support. However, throughout the play, Friar Lawrence makes hasty decisions, like marrying Romeo and Juliet, hiding the fact of their marriage, helping Romeo after he is banished, and faking Juliet’s death. Through Friar Lawrence’s bad choices, Shakespeare demonstrates that blind reliance on people of authority is ill-advised, because they have flaws and make mistakes just like everybody else.

“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.

One of the main characters who displays lack of judgement due to their emotions is Romeo. In Romeo’s case, several of his actions together contributes to a vast misunderstanding and disaster. When Balthasar delivers to Romeo the news that Juliet is dead, Romeo responds angrily with, “Is it even so? Then I defy you, stars! / Thou know’st my lodging; get me ink and paper, / And hire post-horses: I will hence to-night” (5.1.24-26). Without thinking of any other plans, he immediately resorts to the decision that he will travel to Verona that night. This shows his impulsiveness. His servant, Balthasar, notes of his rashness in his response as well, for he replies with “I do beseech you, sir, have patience. / Your looks are pale and wild, and do import / Some misadventure” (5.1.27-29). Romeo’s pale look suggests that he is not thinking straight due to the fact that he just found out that his wife died. In his hazy state of mind, he plans to buy poison, and drink

Prospero repeatedly says that he is relinquishing his magic, but its presence pervades the scene. He enters in his magic robes and brings Alonso and the others into a charmed circle and holds them there. Once he releases them from the spell, he makes the magician-like spectacle of unveiling Miranda and Ferdinand behind a curtain, playing chess. His last words of the play proper are a command to Ariel to ensure for him a safe voyage home. Only in the epilogue, when he is alone on-stage, does Prospero announce definitively that his charms are “all o’erthrown” (epilogue.1). Through the use of the narration from Prospero himself and the use of rhyming, I believe Prospero successfully proves to the crowd that he is in fact truly sorry for being power hungry and asks for forgiveness from the audience.

“It’s time to play Family Feud! Let’s meet our two families. Today we have the Montagues playing against the Capulets in a long-standing feud between the families.” Romeo and Juliet is perhaps the most famous love story of all time. William Shakespeare entrances readers into believing that love at first sight can and does happen. With tragic deaths of both Romeo and Juliet, along with those of Tybalt, Mercutio, Paris, and Lady Montague, Shakespeare leads readers to believe that the cataclysmic events are the fault of fate or circumstance. This argument is convincing and widely accepted, but the warring families are most responsible for the unfortunate deaths. One simply needs to read the prologue to know what happens throughout the duration of the play: both the Montague and Capulet families are at fault.
