Lust or Love: An Essay Analyzing the Relationship of Romeo and Juliet in Romeo and Juliet
In act 1, scene 1 Romeo is very in touch with his emotions, “Tut! I have lost myself; I am not here: this is not Romeo, he's some other where” this quote actually makes you think what is Romeo talking. I believe he is saying he's so sad that he is not himself, he's not in the right mindset. Only a person that is truly in touch with their emotions would know this. Then again two hours later he's in love with some other woman. That kind of shows you he is in touch with his emotions but not fully. His mind is telling him something but his heart to telling
Here Romeo is saying that when you are not loved the days are long and
There are many forces in the tragic play of Romeo and Juliet that are keeping the two young, passionate lovers apart, all emanating from one main reason. In this essay I will discuss these as well as how love, in the end, may have been the cause that led to the tragic deaths of Romeo and Juliet. Their strong attraction to each other, which some call fate, determines where their forbidden love will take them.
Most importantly, Romeo’s poor choices and decisions lead to the tragedy of the drama. From the beginning of the story Romeo reveals his immaturity and ill-equipped emotions. His first mistake reveals itself when he claims to be deeply depressed. Romeo claims that he feels like “sinking ‘under love’s heavy burden’,” (Dupler). At this point Romeo has succumbed to his emotions, due to the fact that a girl named Rosaline refuses to reciprocate his love for her. Romeo’s friends Benvolio and Mercutio “urge him to stop philosophizing about his lost love and to seek another young lady as a new object of his affections” (Dupler).Romeo now demonstrates that he seems incapable of listening to his friends’ suggestions and chooses to continue in a juvenile state of depression. Romeo makes another fatal decision when he nurtures an undeniably damned relationship. Romeo admits that he still loves Juliet once her lineage appears as Capulet when he says, “Is she a Capulet? O dear account! My life is my foes debt” (1.5.115). Romeo irresponsibly supports the idea of a relationship between himself and Juliet only because “The young hero is simply shifting his attention to a more receptive subject as he responds to the erotic spurring implicit in his name” (...
In Act I of Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare demonstrates different forms of love that characters face. From the beginning, Romeo struggles to find true love and what love really is. As for Juliet, she also struggles on what love is, but also finding her own voice. And when finally finding true love they discover that they have fallen in love their own enemy. They both realize that the idea of love can be amazing, but also a painful experience. Shakespeare demonstrates love versus evil and the forms love takes that is acknowledged as an universal issue that connects different types of audiences. Audiences are captured by relating on love and the emotions that are displayed. From Romeo and Rosaline’s unrequited love, Paris and Juliet’s false love, and Romeo and Juliet’s ill-fated love, create the forms of love that establishes love as a leading theme in Act I.
When the play first introduces Romeo, Benvolio tries to find the root of his companion’s persistent grief. Instead, Romeo answers with a series of ambiguous riddles and contradicting phrases. Merging the potential joys of love with his current suffering of unrequited love, he expresses the complexity and bittersweetness of romance, exclaiming, “O brawling love, O loving hate” (Shakespeare 1.1.181), and later suggesting that it is both “A choking gall, and a preserving sweet” (1.1.201). Despite his hapless attempts with Rosaline, Romeo holds on to simply the concept of love and his idealistic impressions of romance. Paired with the extremity of his thoughts and emotions, these oxymorons demonstrate his immaturity and inexperience with entirely devoting himself to another individual. Though initially recognized as a character who considers the world with notable maturity, Juliet reacts similarly when faced with a crisis in her relationship with Romeo. After hearing her beloved husband kills her cousin, she becomes irate: “Beautiful tyrant, fiend angelical! / Dove-feathered raven, wolvish-ravening lamb! / Despised substance of divinest show!” (3.2.81-83) The first four oxymorons reveal
“My bounty is as boundless as the sea, My love as deep; the more I give to thee, The more I have, for both are infinite.” The meaning of this quote is “Only to be generous and give it to you once more. But I’m wishing for something I already have. My generosity to you is as limitless as the sea, and my love is as deep. The more love I give you, the more I have. Both loves are infinite.” This quote is significant to the story due to how it demonstrates how much love Romeo has for Juliet whether she is a Capulet or whether she becomes a Montague. In the tale of Romeo and Juliet, Romeo and Juliet let fate decide their love for each other. Romeo makes these decisions that made him become a wanted man that lead him to inescapable fate. “Fate can be two sided, it may bring one happiness
In the end of the book the first instance was when Juliet herad about the marriage and threatens to kill herself unless it doesn’t happen. “Tell me not, friar, that thou hear’st of this, Unless thou tell me how I may prevent it: If, in thy wisdom, thou canst give no help, Do thou but call my resolution wise, And with this knife I’ll help it presently” ( ). The quote above has a very troubling meaning. It means, Friar tell me this isn’t true, tell me you can prevent it, or I will solve my problem right here with this knife and it will all be over. This quote is about the closest spot before action is taken to the words of the troubled couple. The second spot where a self- destructive relationship is illustrated when Juliet has taken the piousness berry and dropped to the ground and Romeo attempts to take out the poison. “For fear of that, I still will stay with thee, And never from this palace of dim night Depart again. Here, here will I remain With worms that are thy chamber maids. Oh, here Will I set up my everlasting rest, And shake the yoke of inauspicious stars From this world-wearied flesh. Eyes, look your last. Arms, take your last embrace. And, lips, O you The doors of breath, seal with a righteous kiss A dateless bargain to engrossing death. Come, bitter conduct, come, unsavory guide. Thou desperate pilot, now at once run on The dashing rocks thy seasick, weary bark. Here’s to my love!” ( ). This quote is large but very meaningful. It means, Here I will remain with you and your remains, oh I am going to be here forever and all bad luck will be gone arms, lips and eyes look and feel for the last time for I will be her forever. At this point in the end of the novel action or harm to oneself has finally taken place, Romeo kill himself for
Juliet’s weakness to be controlled by love leads her to make unadvised and irresponsible decisions that contribute to her choice of ending her life. Characterized as a young and rash teenager, with no interest in love and marriage at first, Juliet wants to be independent. However, after she first lays eyes on Romeo, Juliet’s perception of love is quick to change. Their strong love easily manipulates and clouds her judgment. Even if she is cautious and realizes their love is too fast, the rush of feelings from having a first love overcomes her.
The significance of Juliet’s change in character is to show her accelerated transformation from a young girl into a mature woman. In the beginning of the play Juliet is unable to make her own decisions. However after her meeting with Romeo, Juliet becomes more assertive and defends her love for Romeo. In conclusion, individuals cannot be forced to love; love is nurtured and nourished but also is always put to test.
This slide shows Romeo flirting with Juliet and begging to kiss her. Romeo uses the practice of “holy palmers’ kiss” as a foundation and to climax their love (kiss). Rom...
Many people think that society has changed so much over the years. That the way that children act, has taken a turn for the worst, but in reality children are learning from their ancestors. Children are lying to their parents, they are sneaking out at night to be with a boy that is “the one”, children are going back into the age of Shakespeare. In the play “Romeo and Juliet” which was written by William Shakespeare in 1597, there are two teenagers, Romeo and Juliet, who fall in love with each other. These two teenagers try to do everything that they can to live the rest of their lives together, except their families despise each other, so there is no way that they can live the rest of their lives together. So, many people believe that the way that our children are growing up today is taking away the fun parts of their childhood. However in this play Juliet did many of the things that teenagers are trying to do now. Children and sometimes adults now need to realize how your actions not only affect you but also the people around you, you also need to think about the consequences of the actions you make. At first Juliet falls in love at first sight with Romeo, then she takes a potion, which causes her family to think she is dead, and then how Friar Lawrence helps Juliet with the scheming, which shows how adults have to think about others as well.
