This excessive amount of talent is seen especially in one of his most famous novels about a pair of star-crossed lovers, Romeo and Juliet. This piece follows the lives of young Juliet Capulet and Romeo Montague as they fall in what is assumed to be love. However, this adoration is forbidden by the citizens of Verona, as their families are fixed into an immovable and unjustifiable feud. After catching sight of each other at a Capulet party, they instantaneously grow an immense amount of fondness towards each other.

As the text advances, the contrast between Paris and Romeo’s ideas of love and how them and their relationships with Juliet advance throughout the plot assist in developing the theme; fate cannot determine true love. Paris and Romeo’s actions and words in regards to Juliet inevitably shows that Romeo is truly in love with Juliet and not Paris. Romeo from Romeo and Juliet is one of the first characters introduced to the audience by Shakespeare. He first appears broken hearted due to a rejection from his ‘love’ Rosaline, who refused to please Romeo before marriage. He is also seen as an impulsive lover, who instantly disregards his ‘love’ for Rosaline when he catches sight of Juliet. Juliet expresses interest in him when they first meet, allowing him to kiss her without decline. They exchange words, flirting back and forth before he kisses her, “Thus from my lips, by thine, my sin is purged” (Shakespeare 59). Shocked, Juliet asks for him to take his sins back, saying “Then have my lips the sin that they have took” (59). Romeo kisses her once more, and Juliet responds with, “You kiss by th’ book” (59). Within minutes of meeting each other, they have
Romeo and Juliet, written by William Shakespeare, is a story of two young lovers. These two hearts, Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet belong to feuding families. The family feud causes them to keep their love a secret and therefore only Romeo, Juliet, Benvolio, the Nurse and Friar Lawrence know of their love. Romeo and Juliet are able to look past the feud and let themselves fall in mad love with the other. They let themselves do almost anything for the other and at times it seems like too much to do, even for the one they love. Although fate and character traits play a key role in the play, ultimately Rome and Juliet’s personal choices lead to their downfall.Fate originates all of the conflicts in Romeo and Juliet, from when they met until they die.
“To be consorted with the humorous night. Blind is his love and best befits the dark. If love be blind, love cannot hit the mark” (2.1. 31- 33). Among one of the most renowned contributions to literature is The Most Excellent and Lamentable Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet written by the prestigious English poet, William Shakespeare. This tragedy of the sixteenth century concludes with the fate of the two star- crossed lovers, Romeo and Juliet, along with those attempting to see them apart. As the prologue states, The Capulets and Montagues are from separate rivaling households, both alike in dignity, whose children have fallen in love. It is believed that if the two were to marry then feuding in the streets of Verona would come to an end, but only further complications have risen. These complications result in six deaths total. Those responsible for these deaths are Romeo and Juliet themselves, Lord Capulet, and the one who holds this burden as his obligation, Friar Laurence.
Two lovers, different in beliefs, yet the same in thoughts and feelings, are set to have a tragic ending in their life story. In William Shakespeare's The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare portrays differences between the love of Romeo for Juliet, and the love of Juliet for Romeo. Many people often wonder why this love between Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet did not turn out for the best. It is not their love for one another that finally breaks them apart from the world, it is the way they love one another. The couple struggled to the death trying to make their passionate love work out with each other, but their many differences kept coming up in their lives and getting in the way of their love. While Romeo is a Manic lover and Juliet is an Erotic lover, their love is more likely to be star-crossed.
“In the play Romeo and Juliet, Shakespear illustrates a romantic trajedy in which Romeo and Juliet must love each other in secret. It tells a tale of two lovers who cannot express their love freely because of a feud between the families Mantaque and Capulet. Because of this, they take steps to keep their romance secret, which eventually leads to the tragic deaths of both characters. The Capulets and Montaques are responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet because the tension between the two families caused Romeo and Juliet to die trying to keep their love a secret. Also, the family feud caused the conflict between Romeo and Tybalt, which ultimately led to the banishment of Romeo and later deaths of both Romeo and Juliet.
“As he read, I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once”, The Fault in our Stars, John Green. Not all teenagers are capable of falling into a true romantic love. However, it is possible for teenagers, who are mature enough, to have strong emotions about someone else. Most people would call this emotion love.
Capulet and Romeo Montague, face a bigger problem; forbidden love. Taking place in Verona, an ignorant Romeo first meets a childish Juliet at the Capulet’s party. Romeo and his kinsman, Benvolio, attend the party masked, searching for his first love, Rosaline. Coincidentally, Romeo meets Juliet, a new beauty, and falls in love with her not knowing the fact that she is a Capulet. The feud continues, leading one mistake after another, until both families realize their selfishness at the last minute. The unfortunate tragedy of two “star-crossed lovers” is ironically caused by the impetuosity of Romeo and Juliet themselves (Shakespeare 7).
One of Shakespeare’s greatest works is arguably the troublesome love story of Romeo and Juliet. It’s widely disputed on whether their love was true or the result of young teenagers’ impulse. However, Romeo and Juliet’s love was true and genuine, and can be proven throughout the events and story of Romeo and Juliet. It’s proven when Shakespeare writes that Romeo and Juliet are ‘star-crossed lovers’, can be proven through the genuine acts of true love between the pair, and how easily their relationship blossomed and overcame the difficulties of the story.
To begin, the parallel world of Romeo and Juliet is almost a mirror reflection of reality through the similarities in the emotions and lifelike events. Many events throughout the drama imitate the experiences people encounter every day. Through the course of the play, the characters have clashing ideas about what is right and wrong. For example, the family feud between the Capulets and Montagues is fueled by the constant wrongdoings of one family to the other. In the first act, Capulet draws his sword toward the Montague family without knowledge of reason. The first brawl, started by both families, contributes to the mimesis of the tale. Young or old, strong or weak, people do not get along with one another. They are neighbors, classmates, or coworkers and each of them have unique views of each other. Capulet acts without thinking, making him a round, realistic character. Although some people act before...
Romeo and Juliet is a romantic love story about a young lad named Romeo who has fallen in love with Lady Juliet, but is unable to marry her because of a long-lasting family feud. The play ends in the death of both these characters and the reunion of the friendship between the families. Romeo is in love with Juliet, and this is a true, passionate love (unlike the love Paris has for her or the love Romeo had for Rosaline) that nothing can overcome, not even the hatred between their two families that is the reason for the death of their two children. Throughout the play, Shakespeare thoroughly explores the themes of both true love and false love and hatred. Without either of these themes, the play would loose its romantic touch and probably would not be as famous as it is today.
