The many issues in “Romeo and Juliet” from William Shakespeare play and in the nonfiction article “Brain Battle” continue to affect people in modern society because of emotion’s influence actions.
In “Romeo and Juliet” Tybalt says to Benvolio “What, drawn, and talk of peace? I hate the word, As I hate hell, all the Montagues, and thee! [They Fight](Shakespeare 1).At this point in the story Tybalt has mocked Benvolio about keeping the peace, Tybalt says he hates the word peace just as much as he hates hell and the Montagues.In Verona, Italy Tybalt belongs to a family called the Capulet and Benvolio belongs to the Montagues.These two families have hatred toward each other, and even though Benvolio tries to keep the peace Tybalt lets his hatred get to him.This relates to the idea that the many issues explored the selections continue to affect people in modern society because emotions influence actions because Tybalt hatred forced Benvolio and all the Montagues and Capulets in a brawl.
In the Shakespearean play, Romeo & Juliet, aggression is represented in different ways by the different characters in the play. Tybalt, Romeo, Benvolio, and the others all have their own way of dealing with hate and anger. Some do nothing but hate while others can’t stand to see even the smallest of quarrels take place.
Since Lord Capulet and Lord Montague are in an unnecessary feud, Mercutio, Romeo, and Juliet have all lost their lives. This theme is important to the story because the unnecessary fighting is causing many casualties, and disturbing the peace of Verona. If the feud never existed, then Verona would have order, and the six people who died would still be alive. This fighting is the driving force between all of the negative events in the play.
Instead, they provoke the Capulets enough that the squabble turns into a grand battlefield, the axis of power against the allies. You can tell that they are surprised when Benvolio comes to break them up. When he does, the reader is given a sense of the "bewilderment" felt in the atmosphere. When Tybalt enters though, he disgraces the name Montague and challenges Benvolio. This, in turn, ignites another one of the many disputes between the families.
Tybalt tries to make his family proud, as he wants to end the feud between the Capulet and Montague once and for all in a big fight. Tybalt insults Benvolio by saying, “What, drawn and talk of peace? I hate the word/as I hate hell, all Montagues, and thee/have at thee, coward” (I.i.64-66) initially beginning the fight, and showing his destructive love towards family honour. The fight that is fueled by Tybalt’s destructive love contributes to the Prince’s warning at the beginning of the play. The Prince warns to all Montague and Capulet that any other behaviour such as this would be punished by
In Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, the audience witnesses a great amount of familial pride when Tybalt shouts to an opposing family member, “What, drawn, and talk of peace? I hate the word, as I hate hell, all Montagues, and thee. Have at thee, coward,” (Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet, Act 1.1 pg 12). In the play Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare depicts two feuding families who once had a legitimate reason to be mad at one another, but now continuously fight each other fueled purely by family pride. This everlasting conflict between the Montagues and the Capulets illustrate to the audience how having too much family pride places a restriction on familial unity.
Because of this conflict, confrontations occurred and insults were thrown. Hatred is bred which is evident when Tybalt, who is Lady Capulet's nephew, joins the fight against the Montague family. Tybalt hates Romeo and doesn't hesitate to let it be known.
The characters in Romeo and Juliet are fully aware of the power of hate and act on the knowledge. They recognize that hatred and anger are much more powerful motivators than love and kindness. For example, when trying to motivate R...
As a famous author once said, “You don’t have to attend every argument you’re invited to.” To clarify, it isn’t necessary to engage in every conflict that is encountered. In William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, Tybalt is a truculent and unsympathetic man who tends to take the quarrel between the Capulets and Montagues a step too far. He soon is challenged with a fight he cannot beat. In this tragic play, Tybalt’s tragic flaw of aggressiveness guides him towards a bitter end.
This theme is not only represented in “Romeo and Juliet”, or other playwrights and stories that people read about online, but in their everyday life. Although Shakespeare makes the theme of love and hate dramatic and over the top in Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare delivers the message of how love and hate can overpower and consume us, and if we aren’t careful, it can easily blow up and destroy everything. As Kurt Tucholsky once said, “Those who hate most fervently must have once loved deeply; those who want to deny the world must have once embraced what they now set on fire.” The coexistence of love and hate was not something Romeo and Juliet could choose to embrace or avoid, it was simply
The ancient discord between the Montagues and the Capulets is the foundation for all conflict in the play. This conflict is necessary for character development, to show their true personality and to advance the plot. Characters from both families
‘Romeo and Juliet’ by William Shakespeare incorporates the theme of conflict through many different characters and situations. The definition of conflict is “a fight, battle, or struggle; especially a prolonged struggle; strife” The play mainly focuses on the tragic lives of Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet; the two characters belong to the Montague and Capulet households respectively, which have held ongoing grudges against each other for years. The play ends with both main characters committing suicide, to be together in heaven. As with many of Shakespeare’s works, the theme of conflict is a strong one. For a start, there is the ongoing conflict between the two families; the Montagues and the Capulets. The audience is unsure how this grudge started; this reflects how tedious some ongoing grudges can be. This is a vital conflict to keep the structure of the story, as without this conflict Romeo and Juliet would not have encountered the problems they had with their marriage. However, there are different ways of putting this grudge across - through dialogue, such as Mercutio’s intell...
Firstly, the Capulets and Montagues are at odds with each other. Members of each house and servants break into a sword fight, clashing with each other. Sampson says "Draw, if you be men. Gregory, remember thy swashing blow." (Act 1, Scene 1, Line 60). The feuding between the two families motivates Sampson to challenge the Capulets. Another example of how the two houses despise each other is what Romeo and his friends have to do to get into the Capulet feast. So they will not be recognized, Romeo, Mercutio, and Benvolio wear comic masks to hide their faces. Mercutio says, "Give me a case to put my visage in" (Act 1, Scene 4, Line 29). They do not want to be recognized because of the hatred between the two houses. Also, Romeo and Juliet are not supposed to be in love: "My only love sprung from my only hate! / Too early seen unknown, and known too late! / Prodigious birth of love it is to me, / That I must love a loathed enemy." says Juliet (Act 1, Scene 5, Lines 137-140). They are not supposed to love each other because it just so happens that each of their houses despise each other. It is unfortunate for Romeo and Juliet that their two families are against each other, because this means that they are not supposed to be married.
	A major dispute is going on between the Capulets and the Montagues. These two households, "both alike in dignity," (1.Prologue.1) have been feuding for so long that they even forget the reason they are feuding. Romeo and Juliet, "a pair of star-crossed lovers who take their life," (1.Prologue.6) are results of how tragedy can be caused when the rage of past generations carries over to a younger generation. Tybalt is also an example of the theme. At Capulet's party, he walks up to Lord Capulet and says "Tis he, that villain Romeo" (1.5.67). Tybalt learns this rage toward Romeo and all the other Montagues through past generations.
The feud between the Montagues and the Capulets causes the young couple to have to sneak around to one another. Broken family relationships in both families add stress since there are less people Romeo and Juliet can trust, and feel comfortable talking too. Miscommunication not only between Romeo and Juliet, but almost all the characters, affect the couple in a poor way because they are constantly being misinformed about one another. Romeo and Juliet may not like that they have been greatly impacted by all these factors but these actions are ultimately what shaped their lives, and affected how they lived them. This demonstrates how the influences around you can change the way you feel about certain things. If they had better family conditions, and ways to communicate, it is possible they could have lived their lives longer and
“Reason and love are sworn enemies” (Unknown). With love, young love in particular, people can do crazy things without thinking. Even with good intentions, the lack of thought can have serious consequences. In the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare the concept of love, loss, and hatred are explored with the lives and deaths of the ill-fated lovers, Romeo and Juliet. Coming from two continually brawling families, the Capulets and the Montagues, the young love is strictly forbidden. With the help of Friar Laurence and Juliet’s nurse, the couple marries. Soon after a series of rash and dramatic decisions leads to the preventable deaths of Romeo and Juliet. In this tragedy, Friar Laurence’s pridefulness and Romeo’s irrationality make them clearly the most to blame for the deaths of the star-crossed lovers of Verona.
