    If it weren't for Romeo’s actions, both he and Juliet would have never fallen in love, and never ended up taking their own lives. Romeo is most at fault for his death and the death of Juliet because Romeo should have listened to Friar Lawrence. He should not have fallen in love with Juliet so easily, and he should have respected the feud between the two families and stayed away from the Capulets.…

    Romeo and Juliet

    It’s not uncommon for young children to look up to their elders for advice or guidance in a tough situation, but being misguided in a conflict can lead to an even larger predicament. In the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, the death of main characters can be rooted at the deluded advice from supposedly wise mentors. These mentors were Friar Lawrence and the Nurse, whose intentions were pure, but whose advice could be considered otherwise. Friar Lawrence and the Nurse unintentionally mislead Romeo and Juliet, which ultimately was the driving force behind the extreme actions they made throughout the play. This misleading advice is shown when Friar Lawrence marries Romeo and Juliet, when the Nurse gives Juliet marriage advice, and when Friar Lawrence convinced Juliet to fake her death.…

    Romeo And Juliet

    The play is basically set off of conflict. When there is love there is war.Conflict is the key role in Romeo and Juliet. There are conflicts starting from the beginning to end.The conflicts include: Man vs.man, Man vs. self, and Man vs. society. Both of the families are in conflict, and have been since they can remember (Man vs. man).In fact the first scene in the play is a brawl between the Montigue and Capulet servants. Romeo is in love with Roseline, but Roseline wants nothing to do with him. Romeo then falls into a deep depression, that is one of the first conflicts ( man vs. self ). Then his cousin invites Romeo to a masque. This leads into more conflict considering that the masque is held at Lord Capulet's house. Taking into account the feuds that the Montigues and Capulets are having this is not a wise choice for Romeo. Since Romeo is in love with Roseline, he will basically risk everything to go to the masque. The next conflict that occurs in the play is Tybalt a Capulet recognizes Romeo's. Tybalt then wants to fight Romeo, but Lord Capulet won't have any fighting in his household.…

    Romeo and Juliet

    “New love can look for all the world like mental illness, a blend of mania, dementia, and obsession that cut people off from friends and family and prompts out of character behavior.” The opening line of “Watching New Love as it Sears the Brain”, much like the opening lines of “Romeo and Juliet”, tell the reader what is happening before it really happens. The article talks about how people that have just fallen in love can appear crazy to the rest of the world, even though they might feel even more sane than ever before. Romeo and Juliet have this same experience. Characters like the Friar worry about Romeo and Juliet because they are smart and sensible and know Romeo and Juliet are rushing into a big mistake. In “Romeo and Juliet” Shakespeare's characters portray very similar characteristics of the people talked about in the New York Times article “Watching New Love as it Sears the Brain”.…

    Romeo and Juliet

    Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare in London, in the mid-1590s. This play about two lovers was among his most popular and most frequently performed plays. It was extremely popular even in Shakespeare's lifetime. However, Shakespeare did not introduce the story into the English language. Romeo and Juliet borrows from a tradition of tragic love stories dating back to antiquity. For instance, Pyramus and Thisbe from Ovid's Metamorphoses, which has many similarities to Shakespeare's story: the lovers' parents despise each other just like those of Romeo and Juliet and Pyramus falsely believes his lover Thisbe is dead. Furthermore, the Ephesiaca of a Greek writer Xenophon of Ephesus, written in the 3rd century, also contains several similarities to the play, including the separation of the lovers, and a potion that induces a deathlike sleep. However, the earliest known version of the Romeo and Juliet tale akin to Shakespeare's play is the story of Mariotto and Gianozza by Masuccio Salernitano, published in 1476. In 1554, Matteo Bandello published the second volume of his Novelle, in which he presented his version of Giuletta e Romeo. Arthur Brooks, a poet, introduced the story of The Tragical History of Romeus and Juliet in a poem that was itself an adaptation of adaptations that stretched across nearly a hundred years and two languages. This story was also retold in prose in The Palace of Pleasure by William Painter in 1582. Many details of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet are taken directly from Brooks’ The Tragical History of Romeus and Juliet, starting from the meeting of the two lovers, their secret marriage, the drinking of the sleeping potion at the ball to the timing of their suicides. Such preemption of other stories is characteristic of Shakespeare, who often based his plays on earlier works by his colleagues.…
