Have you ever read the poem “Romeo and Juliet”? Romeo and Juliet is a poem about two lovers from two different worlds and family’s. In the end the couple both took their own lives, in result of a deep sleep and a heartbroken husband. I believe that this was because of a man named Friar Lawrence.
Juliet tilts her head to the side and ponders over the extremely general question. "Ice cream," She decides after a short moment of pause. "I want a strawberry and vanilla cone with a lot of sprinkles on top."
I was taking my usual late-night stroll through the gardens of Capulet, and I recalled my argument with Capulet which I had incited earlier that night. I have to admit, I was right in this argument whilst Capulet was acting immature and naive. The son of the archenemy of the Capulet family had snuck into the invite-only Capulet party! Romeo Montague was his name, I recalled, he was the man who snuck in. I couldn’t believe that Capulet had permitted him to stay even though our two families have an ancient grudge and even our servants know to take the wall from any man or maid of the Montague’s (1.0.3, 1.1.11).

Imagine if you were walking down the aisle on your wedding day which is meant to be the best day ever, but the person at the end is a stranger. How would you like if the day you have been waiting all your life is just practically handed to you and isn’t even what you wanted or who you wanted to be with. Well, this is actually how some people’s lives happen for them. Such as they have no say in who they marry because their parents are in control of it all. In Romeo and Juliet this is the same situation that Juliet and Paris went through in the story. Like how Juliet's parents wanted her to marry Paris at the age of fourteen. Juliet's family was for arranging marriage since they were arranged when they got married, but on the other hand Juliet was very against the whole idea of marrying at fourteen, especially since she was very in love with Romeo even though their two families hated each other. This caused a lot of problems with Juliet’s family and that she would have to
To begin with, Mercutio is a good friend to Romeo in that he stands up for Romeo when in need. In Act III, Scene I, there is a scene in which Tybalt, Mercutio, and Romeo are conversing. In lines 59-60, Tybalt says, “Romeo, the love I bear thee can afford no better term than this: thou art a villain.” This
Shakespeare does this by noting how Romeo and Juliet do not actually love each other. This is represented by Romeo and Juliets actions and rash decision making. Their decisions are very impulsive and rushed. As a result, it impacted them negatively in the future and as well as their relationship. Romeo and Juliet’s love for each other is not actually how love really is. They’ve mistakenly confused lust for love.
Similarities and differences in literature help us to obtain a more developed understanding of characters and their surroundings.

The Role of Mercutio in Romeo and Juliet In William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, each character plays a specific role in driving the action forward and shaping the play's theme. One secondary character, Mercutio, is essential to the play. Mercutio is the Prince's kinsman, but more importantly, he is Romeo's friend and confidant. Mercutio's concern is always for Romeo and for peace between the two families, the Capulets and the Montagues. Mercutio is the first to see that Romeo is deeply in love.
There are many conflicts in the tragedy “Romeo and Juliet”, but there were some more important than others. The feud between the Capulets and the Montagues was likely the most important, for the play would not be a tragedy if they were not fighting. The next would be Juliet’s doubt about taking the sleeping medicine and killing herself. The third and final one I shall discuss would be the conflict between Romeo and the city of Verona after he killed Tybalt. These are the most important conflicts of the tragedy “Romeo and Juliet” and the ones I will be explaining in this paper.
The play of Romeo and Juliet is different from William Shakespeare’s other tragedies in that there is not a clear distinction of individual heroes. The two protagonists are more passive than active; both are naïve and lacking understanding. The hero is often thought to be the romantic, yet often hysterical, Romeo. But Romeo’s immoral background, emotional outbursts, mishap murders, and foolish actions make him a poor candidate for a hero. Juliet proves to be more innocent than Romeo because she possesses more rigorous moral ethics. Juliet is also more successful in overcoming the obstacles that she is faced with throughout the play. While both characters
“Love always overcomes hate, but love’s effects and hate’s effects are no different in magnitude.” -Anonymous. No one ever doubts the power of love or the power of hate. For as long as time has existed people have loved and people have hated. Strong emotions persuade everyone to act on their inhibition. Everyone wants to be a hero in every situation whether it be trying to save someone or the simple act of finding a winning lottery ticket. These actions are what lead to love overcoming hate even if they are the simplest of acts. The mistake people make is them trying to hard to be the hero. This leads to one traveling great lengths to achieve their goals, but at what cost. Throughout Shakespeare’s most famous play, Romeo and Juliet, his main
