Romeo And Juliet : A Story Of Love Or The Poorly Functioning Biological Properties Of The Teenage Brain?

When Juliet finds out that Tybalt has been killed and Romeo is in exile, for killing Tybalt, Juliet feels both passionate about Romeo and disappointed in both Romeo and herself, which reveal her inner struggle. In Act 3, Juliet’s Nurse comes back with this news that Tybalt is dead and that Romeo is such an awful person for killing him. Juliet fights back at the Nurse, and herself, for speaking bad about Romeo. She claims, ““Shall I speak ill of him that is my husband? Ah, poor my lord, what tongue shall smooth thy name, When I, thy three hours' wife, have mangled it? But wherefore, villain, didst thou kill my cousin? That villain cousin would have killed my husband.” (3.2.99-101). This shows that Juliet is passionate about Romeo, because first of all, she says that she was wrong to say bad things about her husband.

“Romeo and Juliet” is an amazing tragedy about two people which love each other and the whole world says no. This tragedy shows that impulsivity doesn’t always lead to a happy ending “ These violent delights have violent ends.”(Ⅱ,ⅵ,9) and that thinking over an action twice is a good decision. With the help of the article “Beautiful Brains” Romeo’s and Juliet’s actions are more understandable due to the slow process of brain development in

With similar effects as the adolescent brain, the brain in love is to be arraigned because it produced an intense obsession that the two lovers had for each other, to the point of overlooking practical common sense. In Helen Fisher’s “The Brain in Love” she states, “Romantic love is an obsession, it possesses you. You lose your sense of self. You can’t stop thinking about another human being” (Document C). The brain in love is so driven that it is as if it controls all the pursuits and actions of the person in love. A brain possessed by romantic love has the capability and motivation to do anything to obtain the love of the other person, including partaking in perilous plans. Moreover, Fisher goes on to say, “That brain system - the reward system for wanting, for motivation, for craving, for focus - becomes more active when you can’t get what you want. In this case, life’s greatest prize: an appropriate mating partner” (Document C). Throughout the play, Romeo and Juliet were faced with countless obstacles to overcome in order to be together. Under those circumstances, their brains in love pushed them to the point where they would both rather be dead than live apart from each other. The brain in love is an obvious component of the cause of their deaths because many irrational or hazardous actions taken during this time were caused by their uncontrollable urge to be

Although William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet shows that teenagers struggle to interpret the difference between love and infatuation,

Throughout the tragic drama of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, the youthful protagonist makes impulsive moves. Romeo and Juliet demonstrate emotional responses directly linked to the maturity of the teenage brain. Detailed studies were conducted on the frontal lobe of numerous adolescent teenagers. These commentaries aid readers in understanding considerably more about actions and reactions of teenagers. I have conjectured the belief that the impulsive actions adolescents made throughout the drama are explained by the articles “The Teen Brain”, “Understanding the Mysterious Teenage Brain”, and “Beautiful Brains.”

"LOVE IS A Certain Inborn Suffering derived from the sight of and excessive Meditation upon the beauty of the opposite sex, which causes each one to wish above all things the embraces of the other, and by common desires carry out all of love's precepts in the other's Embrace" is definition of medieval love. But Really, How much does Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet comes to terms of traditional " love"? Think about Romeo in the very beginning of the play, when he talks about Rosaline. He describes, rather about her looks as he says: " O, she is rich in beauty, only poor". Romeo talks of his unattainable love to the beautiful Rosaline. He sees Rosaline as strong, for she would never be hit by cupid's arrow. This is an example of courtly

The story of Romeo and Juliet not only portrays teen love, but also

In the play Romeo and Juliet two teens fall in love and tragically kill themselves so they can stay together. In our modern time that seems crazy but there are many a likes and differences from teens today.

Teens have a huge issue controlling their emotions. Sarah-Jayne Blakemore’s thesis on adolescent development sheds light on some of the nonsensical decision making Shakespeare's romeo and juliet as characters certainly face the mood swings, impulses, and self consciousness. “Workings of the Adolescent Brain” uses MRI based research showing what's wrong with teens and their brain development. In Romeo and Juliet, this shows a lot of issues with teens. There were 6 deaths because of Romeo and Juliet’s stupid crisis they caused. Mercutio, Tybalt, Paris, Lady Montague, Romeo and Juliet died.

The idea that teens are not truly in love but rather infatuated is a timeless topic. In the tragic two hour play, Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, he presents Romeo and Juliet as being two young lovebirds who end up dying because of their family’s hate for one another. Now is this “young love” or infatuation and lust that brought them to their death?

People often debate whether youth are capable to handle a mature love, the answer can vary. William Shakespeare’s ‘Romeo and Juliet’ epitomizes this common topic, the main characters are two teenagers who fall in love in first sight, which leads to the death of two. Notwithstanding, in comparison with France Zeffirelli’s ‘Romeo and Juliet’, Romeo and Juliet are portrayed more mature in Baz Luhrmann’s film. This can be evident in 3 ways: the ways of acting, the reaction of Juliet after learning the death of Tybalt, and the setting of scenes.

Romeo and Juliet is easily the most famous Shakespearian play ever written, but what is it that makes it so popular? The whole performance is centered on two teenagers that claim to be so in love that they would take their own lives. This really makes the audience think about teenagers and what their love is worth. It is more likely than not that a teenage relationship will end at some point. There are a number of things wrong with how minors grasp and initiate love, and a lot of it has to do with their ability to act and make good decisions.

It is not merely a coincidence that Capulet’s servant allowed Romeo and Benvolio to assist him in reading the names of those going to Capulet’s mansion the same night. It is by fate that the serving man asks Romeo for assistance. Romeo was destined to attend Capulet’s party, where his fate will lead him to the love of his life. Upon his decision to attend the party Romeo says “Some consequence yet hanging in the stars | Shall bitterly begin this fearful date” (I iv 114-115) It is then that Romeo predicts what fate has in store for him, showing that it is fate that leads the two lovers to meet, as Romeo says it himself. The final deaths of the lovers is the "consequence" that Romeo talks about and that the bitterness beginning the pathway to

Being teens, it can be easy to confuse love with lust and desire. Lusting is a great need to have sex with a certain person. And desire is almost like lust, but desire is not just with sex, desire can be targeted at either a person, or even an object. The wanting of a person is most common though, like in Romeo and Juliet, where Romeo lusts after Juliet after seeing her at a party. And in fact, we can even connect a saying into this, we all know the saying "Love at first sight," but that may not truly exist. It could, and probably should be known as "lust at first sight," but not love. I don't think you can walk into a building see someone and immediately fall in love with them, at least I hope not you'd be known as a Romeo.

Romeo and Juliet is both a Tragedy and Love story but this essay is going to look at why this classic Shakespearean play is a love story. If you look up whether Romeo and Juliet is a love story or tragedy it will say that is a Tragedy with a Love story as the central plot. But the only reason it is considered a tragedy only because of the deaths. And I couldn’t write a whole essay on death.
