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 made the rash choice to marry Juliet within hours of meeting her, causing him and his soulmate, Juliet, to die. Romeo found Juliet after the party, in the Capulet’s orchard, and Juliet said that if he really loved her, he would marry her. On page 109 Juliet states, “If your love is honorable and you want to marry me, send me word tomorrow by someone I’ll send to you.” Even though Juliet was the one who proposed to Romeo, he took her words and ran with them. He says on page 113, “From here I’ll go to my priest to ask for his help and tell him of my good fortune.” Romeo did what
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.
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
Love and hate have been long-standing rivals since the dawn of time. People will often say ‘love conquers all.’ However, in Shakespeare’s fictitious play, Romeo and Juliet, that is, unfortunately, far from the actual case. In Verona, Italy, the Capulets and the Montagues have a deep-seated hatred, however, the prologue tells the reader that from these two families full of bitter hate, a pair of lovers will come. But it is also already foretold that they were not destined to survive. Hate can be an all-consuming force, and that is not only true, but very evident throughout the play. The rancorous family feud develops much of the action and manifests more feuds as the plot continues on, these being the quarrel between the two families’ servants, Mercutio against Tybalt, and Romeo against Tybalt.
“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.
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.
Regarding the status updates in which he incorporates talk about adversity and about what it means to be a man, he, once again, puts himself in positions of power. Evident through his self-portrayal as a conqueror and his use of the word “man,” in image 4, he claims power on the basis of the close association between power and masculinity. Depicting himself as powerful, self-governing, and pushing past his limits, Romeo conveys the idea that, he is determined to overcome the unfavorable circumstances to which he refers to by using the word, “insanity.” Along the same lines, the use of the word, “insanity” helps him maintain an element of privacy. Accordingly, when asked what he considers to be appropriate or inappropriate publishing content, he responded that, as a man, one must keep certain matters private. That is not to say that, sharing feelings is unacceptable. On the contrary, he encourages that. What he thinks is inappropriate, is for men to share the specifics of the situation at hand, for that seems effeminate. Clearly, Romeo uses linguistic features such as, ‘manly talk’ or ‘adversity talk’ to index stances of strength and self-control. These stances hint at an even bigger picture of gender performance. Through his gender performance, Romeo controls both what he does and does not disclose and his responses to unfavorable situations. His in control masculine stances further support Ainsworth-Vaughn’s postulate, previously discussed. By claiming power, Romeo
The world is driven by two opposing forces: desire and disdain. These emotions, although counteractive, often serve as causations, creating either a hateful love or, more dominantly, a loving hate. Whether it be a passion for a physical entity or a longing for an intangible construct, love can instill a most despising hate that, when severe, can lead to violence or even death. The idea that hate is formed from love is developed in Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare’s most famous tragedy. The story details the feud between the ancient enemy households of the Capulets and Montagues and the product of their hate: the downfall of two eponymous star-crossed lovers, Romeo and Juliet. Through the characters’ apparent love for their kin, Shakespeare illustrates how familial affection ignites an inexplicable hate based on trivial differences and selfish desires, for which the innocent are sacrificed.
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.

Since the formation of social interactions between lives with the intellectual ability to make coherent interactions with each other, we have made choices that have consequences both good and bad, which in turn define our fate. In early civilization, before the Homo sapiens species defined their fate such as how Homo erectus found fire; an element that is essential to survival of species throughout history. Was that a coincidence or a discovery made out of necessity? Ancient governments such as that of Greece and Rome consisted of philosophers such as Socrates that believed that the average citizen does not have the aptness to make decisions that will benefit the
Shakespeare is known for numerous literature achievements such as Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, MacBeth and so on. However, he is also known for his short but witty sonnets. While Shakespeare was known for more romantic stylistic poems and plays, his sonnets attack conventional notions in a number of ways. Shakespeare takes the ideas and attitudes of other sonnets and twists them into his own which goes against the habitual descriptions. Two sonnets, in particular, "Sonnet 130" and also "Sonnet 138", are examples of how he mocks and attacks the conventions of relationships, women 's beauty and also the conventionality of love in poetry itself.
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.
In Act 1, Scene 5, Shakespeare discusses the beginning of Romeo and Juliet’s relationship. They know they have to keep their relationship a secret because their families, the Montagues and Capulets, are in a middle of a dispute. In the great hall of the Capulets, Romeo approaches Juliet and touches her hands as he describes by kissing her, that she is capable of taking his sin from him. They kiss for the second time before the nurse intrudes. Shakespeare uses metaphors and religious imagery to deepen the fact that they are meant to be together, like a pilgrim to a holy site. Romeo and Juliet make religious jokes to protect their newly relationship because of their family conflict, it would be seen as a sin. The words “this” and “kiss” are recited to convey the importance of their first kiss.
