Clarity In Romeo And Juliet

In some cases, “dawn” is a representation for a minute of mindfulness when reality gets to be self evident. The two sources react verbally, such that gives a moment of clarity to one. Romeo and Juliet (Act 3 Scene 5 Lines 1-64) is a short excerpt from the play Romeo and Juliet written by William Shakespeare, published in 1597. In the excerpt, Juliet has a moment of clarity that only gives her more sadness. “Summertime Sadness” is a song by an American singer and songwriter Lana Del Rey from her second studio album, “Born to Die”, in 2012. In her famous song, it demonstrates the dawning of awareness by being fearless. Considering the two sources react verbally, such that gives a moment of clarity to one, we can conclude that the moment of clarity gives a strong impact of that instance and often discovers a still

greater threat that the moment of clarity unveils. Such is the case in the excerpt, Romeo and Juliet, Juliet says worriedly, “O god, I have an ill-divining soul, Methinks I see thee now, thou art so low.

As one dead in the bottom of a tomb,”(Romeo and Juliet.3.5.50-55). Juliet comes to realize that she will not have the ability to see Romeo again and impacted her to make her feel a sudden, loathsome hunch that the greater threat of Romeo being dead when she sees him once more. Later in the excerpt, Juliet says worriedly, “ O, now be gone. More light and light it grows,” (Romeo and Juliet.3.5.35). Juliet begs Romeo to stay but once Romeo agrees to, Juliet gets a sense of awareness that although she does not want Romeo to leave her, the greater threat is him getting killed if he stays. Juliet knows that in order for him to stay alive he has too. Her moment of clarity only serves to only deepen her sadness. Similarly, in the song, “Summertime Sadness,” Lana Del Rey sings, “ Honey, I’m on fire, I feel it everywhere, Nothing scares me anymore,” (Doc. 2). Lana’s character is out having fun and doing whatever she feels like doing and she realizes that the greater threat is dying because she is no longer

fearful. This shows that moments of clarity reveal a greater threat because when I had a moment of clarity, it unveiled me realizing that I did not have a good friend and that I needed to distance myself away from her. It was really hard to do that because she was my very best friend and we did everything together since preschool, but once I found out all the bad things she did and how she influenced me to do those things, it dawned on me that she was no longer the best friend I had once before and just someone that was a bad influence in my life, so I had to distance myself away from her. As you can see, when one reaches moments of clarity, they receive a still greater threat which gets unveiled, and a strong impact comes along with it.
