Williams Shakespeare's Romantic Tragedy Romeo and Juliet, is in regard to two lovers, Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet. Which come from different households, which have been feuding for many years now. The main issues that concern Romeo and Juliet are the issue of love and hate, and defiance of parent's wishes.
When the two characters initially meet they have a love and hate relationship without even knowing it. Romeo and Juliet are greatly influenced by the two households feuding that they were brought up in under the impression that they hate each other. The two lovers knew that they existed and hated each other just because of the feud. This was until they meet each other and got to know each other for what they really were. They didn't know each other by last name anymore but for what was inside. The two lovers realised that they have a love hate relationship when they find out what household they come from. Juliet expresses this in act 1 scene 5, line 137 by saying, 'My only love sprung from my only hate!'
This still doesn't stop the two lovers. As that they are in love with each other so much that it does not matter two them one single bit to them all they want to be is together. Still the two lovers would prefer it if the circumstances were indeed different. She wonders why the circumstances have to be this way and she wishes that she no longer be a Capulet or that Romeo no longer be a Montague. However she than realises that it doesn't matter what name a person has its what's inside and that definitely the truth no matter what Romeo name he would still be the same person. Juliet expresses this in Act 2 Scene 2 lines 45 - 49 ' So Romeo would, were he no Romeo call'd, Retain that dear perfection which he owes Without that title. Romeo doth thy name; And for thy name, which is no part of thee, Take myself'
The two lovers than decide to get married. Straight after that they have met. Romeo asks Friar Laurence to marry them. At first the friar isn't sure but then thinks about it and thinks how it could help for a peace to come for the two feuding families, because like it our not they would be related. I think the friar had other selfish reasons to marry them because he could've been recognised as the peacemaker of Fair Verona.

The film that I saw during my History & Philosophy of Sports class was The Real Olympics which was released on August 3rd, 2004 by the PBS Video studio This film was about ancient history in how the games were played. In reality,” The Real Olympics sets out to demythologize the legendary sporting event by comparing and contrasting the ancient Greek games with their modern-day counterpart through archival footage and dramatic reenactments” (Real Olympics). This film that the instructor chose to show had a lot of significance to what he taught in the class specifically regarding to Greek athletes. Relating to the Greek’s character, it said during the film,” Winning is everything, losing did not matter.” Winning is the number one reason they

In all of the best works of literature, each of a writer's characters has a purpose whether the role is small or big. Even if it goes unnoticed, the small characters usually play a key role to the story's plot development. These minor characters also add depth to the story's world and also help in the development of the major characters' personality. In William Shakespeare's play The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, the minor characters of Friar Lawrence, the Nurse, and Tybalt are in many ways the most pivotal characters to the play's development.

William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. In Shakespeare's plays he very rarely used original ideas. Most of the plays he wrote, such as "Romeo and Juliet," were adapted from other people's stories. Shakespeare used these ideas as basic outlines for his plays.
To begin, Juliet challenges her family expectations in favour of living a life where she can express her love to Romeo, who is her family’s enemy, freely. For example, as Romeo and Juliet speak with each other on the balcony, she states “Deny thy father and refuse thy name; or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, and I’ll no longer be a Capulet” (II, ii, 100-102). Juliet understands society will not allow her to be with Romeo, a Montague, because he is the family’s (Capulet’s) enemy. But due to her intense love toward Romeo, she is ready to give up her family ...
Created in 1595, Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet is about two star-crossed lovers from opposing families who hold an ancient grudge. The theme is about love and hate throughout the play.
There’s no doubt the Olympics Games went well. Not only did Brazil win the men’s soccer gold, the American team brought a gold medal in women’s gymnastics, swimming, and track for us here at home. And although it may seem like fun for everyone, there’s another side of the story. Homes were destroyed, people mugged, and contaminated substances were ingested. Were all the hardships really worth it? At Telemundo, we think otherwise.
Romeo and Juliet are not supposed to be together. Upon seeing Romeo, Juliet sends The Nurse to find out who he is. Nurse returns saying, “His name is Romeo, and a Montague, / The only son of your great enemy” (I v 36-37). They instantly become desperate to see each other all the time, ignoring the fact that their families are feuding. Juliet likes the proverbial forbidden fruit, saying, “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose / By any other name would smell as sweet; So Romeo would, were he not Romeo called / Retain that dear perfection which he owes / Without that...
Romeo and Juliet is a play about two young lovers, whose love was destined for destruction from the beginning because of the hatred between the two families, Montagues and Capulets. Shakespeare juxtaposes the themes of love and hatred. He continuously puts them side by side, and even though they are opposites, when seen together you realise that they are driven from the same thing; passion. Shakespeare uses many different language and dramatic techniques to convey this idea.
Romeo is in love with Rosaline at the very beginning of the story and has just found out that she has taken the vow of chastity. Meanwhile Lord Capulet has given County Paris Juliet’s hand in marriage if he can wait until she is sixteen. The Capulets have a party so that Juliet and the Count can meet and he can then woo her. When Romeo and Juliet first meet they are at the Capulet party, which Romeo sneaks into. They fall in love at first sight without realizing that they are enemies. Fate brings them together and it is fate that they are enemies.
“ 'Tis but thy name that is my enemy/ Thou art thyself, though not a Montague/ What’s Montague? It is nor hand, nor foot/ Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part/ Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!/ What’s in a name? That which we call a rose/ By any other word would smell as sweet/ So Romeo would, were he not Romeo called/ Retain that dear perfection which he owes/ Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name/ And for that name, which is no part of thee/ Take all myself” (II ii 41-52).
