Romeo And Juliet Banquo Analysis
The darkness describes in Banquo lines foreshadows something about to happen. This character reminds me of the priest in " Romeo and Juliet" because he is giving Macbeth advice that the witch may not have good intentions.The author uses personification with instruments making darkness. This idea seems to be important because Banquo develops suspension to the witches beginning dark and evil. Also, another important thing I found out while reading this it that sometimes darkness such as evil known as the witches tell us the truth but we had a person have consequences due to that. Therefore, when Banquo gives his advice I feel like when he states that we are betrayed with the deepest consequence I think what he really meant was that we are so

    In Romeo and Juliet, Juliet’s repetition shows her uncertainty in choosing to side with Tybalt or Romeo. This is important because it ultimately shows the contradicting obligations she has to Romeo and also her family. Juliet’s contradicting decision is due to Romeo’s banishment and Tybalt’s death and ultimately is over who’s side she should be on. Specifically, in Act III scene ii lines 97-114, Juliet works through this situation by comparing both situations next to each other, which shows a different side to Juliet because she usually does not work through these situations out loud. Juliet compares the situations by using the same words in order to get a better understanding of what they really mean in the different contexts of the situation.…

    Fate is partially to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet because the Friar’s plan was ruined due to unpreventable circumstances. In the very first lines of the play the prologue establishes that Romeo and Juliet’s love opposed fate. They are called, “star-cross’d lovers” (Doc A) who possess a, “death-mark’d love” (Doc A). This indicates that their love went against the stars and their relationship was doomed from the start. Even before Romeo was banished, Romeo and Juliet were marked for death. Then, the Friar's plan was disrupted by an unstoppable force, fate. Friar Lawrence tells Juliet when she awakes, “A greater power than we can contradict hath thwarted our intents” (Doc E). Fate had intervened and caused the lovers' downfall. No…

    When any misfortune punishes, who is guilty? This thought is not so easily eased, especially when lives of loved ones are lost in the situation. In the moments when awful events happen, the finer is always pointed at one person or another. At times, even the person least expected. Romeo and Juliet, a famous play by William Shakespeare, approves this thought and provides a clear reminder that many characters could be possible suspects to Romeo and Juliet’s death. With what has already been said, the character most responsible for Romeo and Juliet’s death would have to be Friar Lawrence. This is believed because he was the one responsible providing Juliet with the remedy of faking death. Also, he did not keep in contact with…

    Shakespeare through the use of symbol, demonstrates how light can describe love and darkness can denote hate: “Some consequences yet hanging in the stars…night's revels, and expire the term of a despised life closed in…vile forfeit of untimely death.” (p. 49 lines 114-118). For the theme asserted by the diction suggest there is two paths to follow in one’s life, one of love and the other of hate different in nature but both similarly led to the same destination even though they are encompassed by different events and actions. The diction “night revels” symbolizes, darkness through night, can create a force consuming the sky. However, the word “stars” can present a symbol suggesting light can penetrate this darkness, shining through as small sparks of light in the…

    The ending of Romeo & Juliet was not very satisfying in terms of how happy it was. William Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet has many moments that could be changed, in order to result in a happier more satisfying ending. A few of these events would be for Mercutio to not get in a fight and get killed. And another event would be for Juliet to wake before Romeo Drinks the poison. Either one of these event changes could independently result in a more conclusive satisfying ending.…

    When Banquo remarks that the night is especially dark, the nature reflects the characters affairs and emotions. The scene between Banquo and Macbeth has a dark atmosphere that gives off a threatening feeling. While Banquo is talking to Macbeth, Macbeth has already made up his mind about killing king Duncan and is very close to his chamber; this creates the restless and gloomy atmosphere which reflects what is going through Macbeth’s mind. Also, when Banquo motions the three witches and their prophecy, it seems that he is testing Macbeth to see his reaction or response; it could be interpreted that Banquo was in fact, suspicious of Macbeth and might have even known of his evil plans and is warning him, but also saying that his loyalty lies with him regardless. Their conversation creates a dark and suspicious atmosphere and foreshadows Macbeth’s evil plans.…

    The play Romeo and Juliet has been around since it was written by William Shakespeare in 1595. The themes inferred in this play have stuck around, despite the social changes that society has went through. We watched three different movies on Romeo and Juliet, and each was set in a different time period (1968, 1996, and 2014). They had many things in common and many things different. Some of the things in common was that the Montague’s and Capulet's did not like each other at all. Also, another similarity is that Romeo and Juliet both die at the end. Although there was a little bit of difference in the way that they died, they still had the same concept of being each other’s true love and dying to be together. Another thing they had in common was that they speak the same language, which was proper English. Some of the differences that the movies had was they dressed differently in each movie. One of which that we watched was a play that was filmed in 2014 and 1968, where the clothing is set with an…
