Comparing Romeo To The Star
In my art piece the colors of the balcony represent the stars. Each color is a color that correlates to a star such as the light blue correlates to the hue of Alpha Centauri. For me the scene shows the vastness of space the endless possibilities. How Juliet compared Romeo to the stars showed me how each star is different. Also it shows how bright our universe is it shows the color of the sky. Also the reason why it contrasts the way up shows how much we really know about space. That we don’t know barely anything of the expanse known as the universe. Also some of the inspiration was taken from renaissance and gothic era ar. I used this time period because they were some of the key points in architecture in history I blended the renaissance

    Romeo is the son and heir of Montague and Lady Montague but is also best friends with Mercutio and his cousin Benvolio. Romeo has a stronger bond to Friar Lawrence than he does with his parent and this makes the Friar the father figure of Romeo just like how the nurse is for Juliet. Verona respected and loved him; in addition, he was also a handsome man who falls easily in and out of love. During the play, Romeo’s character evolves from adolescence to adulthood as a result of his love for Juliet and his inherited involvement in the feud between the Capulets and Montagues.…

    Friar Lawrence may think that he is helping Romeo and Juliet more than anyone, but in reality he is irresponsible, and later, even mentally corrupt. To begin, when Romeo arrives at the Friar’s house to ask to marry to his newfound love, Juliet, the Friar realizes that Romeo doesn’t know love because it was only yesterday when he was in love with Rosaline. He lectures Romeo, saying, “But come, young waverer, come, go with me./ In one respect I’ll thy assistant be,” (2.3.96-7). The Friar understands that Romeo is impetuous, but he still decides to marry him to Juliet, which ultimately makes matters extremely worse. He thinks he is helping the families, but his irresponsible action ends up tearing the families apart, making him mentally corrupt. It is also the Friar’s responsibility to provide ethical solutions to people’s problems, but, instead, he encourages Juliet to fake her death. He guides Juliet, “Take thou vile, being then in bed/ And this distilling liquor drink thou off;/ When presently through all thy veins shall run/ A cold and drowsy humor; for no pulse” (4.1.95-8). The Friar knows that he can only get away with this…

    Have you ever wanted to do a certain task but were never able to do it because every time you tried you were stopped by some form of wicked luck? Well for you this task may be star-crossed which means that it is thwarted by wicked luck and opposed by the stars. Just think what it would be like to have a romance like this. Star-crossed romances have always been a popular topic of writing. For example, Dreamless, Starcrossed, and Reckless Magic. Most of the time all star-crossed romances follow a different plot for each story this is what makes each story individually unique. Yet in the case of The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet it seems to follow the same plot as Pyramus and Thisbe. Even though they follow the same plot in Shakespeare's The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet there are other events added to make the story into a play and more interesting. From this information we can draw that Shakespeare used the story first told by Ovid to develop The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet.…

Romeo does not understand the complex feelings of love, but only selfish desires. Romeo was only feeling a desire towards and Juliet because of their looks, not their soul. “That when she dies, with beauty dies her store” ( I.I.10) Romeo loves women with his eyes, not his heart.…
