William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet The play ‘Romeo and Juliet’ may be considered to significant relevance when comparing the impact it made to entertainment in 1604 in comparison to entertainment today. The play ‘Romeo and Juliet’ is as relevant today as it was nearly four centuries ago. ‘Romeo and Juliet’, is a story of two young lovers, whose love was destined for destruction. They did not imagine that their love would lead to the tragedies that it did. These two young individuals did nothing wrong except fall in love. The play encompasses love, hatred and death; Shakespeare depicts that love is a major thing in the human life and it can completely change the way you think and act, it also can create a new beginning and end one by causing death, as shown at the end of the play. In modern day time love still has all these affects that are shown by Shakespeare in this play. This play represents love which is equivalent to how young people fall in love today. Romeo sees Juliet for the first time and he falls in love immediately; this is relevant as this still happens to this date. Similarly if a youth of today was to see a beautiful girl he would supposedly fall in love with this is shown when Romeo believes he is in love with Rosaline; “To call hers, exquisite, in question more. These happy masks that kiss fair ladies’ brow, being black, puts us in mind they hided the fair. He that is stricken blind cannot forget the precious treasure of his eyesight lost. Show me a mistress that is passing fair; what doth her beauty serves but as a note where I may read who passed the passing fair? Farewell. Thou canst not teach me to forget.” Romeo here says he is deeply in love with Rosaline and cannot forget about her but a few scenes later his love quickly changes: “O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright! It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night as a rich
Although they are the basis of William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, these main characters are dull, undynamic, and do not specifically appeal to certain readers. Nurse could be considered as a more interesting character because she brings her wit, drama and insight into the plotline.
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.

Romeo and Juliet Although Romeo and Juliet become inextricably smitten with one another, they both enter into the relationship from different perspectives. Their love is strong, but each has their reasons for the intensity of their love. Romeo has just come out of another ?crush?.

In the play, Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare reveals an underlying message that points to the contrasts between youth and age that are even apparent now today. The youth of society tend to question and then possibly disregard the rules that are important to their parents if they do not have good reason to believe in these rules. The rebellious actions of youth can eventually cause their own untimely destruction. We see today in the headlines many instances where teens have followed their own unguided course bringing about tragic results. Shakespeare shows us in his play how these factors contributed to the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet.
