Romeo And Juliet At First Sight
Is it plausible to love someone at first sight? In today’s world how many people would be willing to die for someone in just 3 hours of meeting them? The answer for today would most likely be very different from 1597. Not many people are willing to go to the extremes Romeo and Juliet did. Especially at first sight. The chances of you having legit true love at first sight are pretty much next to none. It is plausible for a love story of such magnitude like this to happen but also very unlikely. In the play, Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare the author emphasizes love and how easy it is to think you’ve fallen in it by describing every part of the story in great detail and depth showing that it is possible to like someone very much at first sight.

The play is dragged out over a large text …show more content…
This results in lots of details and long stories that could be summed up in just a couple of sentences. By making the story longer and detailed the author helps the reader to stay focused and interested. We can see that throughout the entire book that all of these major events are happening in a matter of hours. One of them is Romeo willing to die or Juliet at first sight. At night after the party, Romeo jumps over the Capulet wall just to talk to and see Juliet. If he gets caught doing this he will be put to death. He’s only known Juliet for like three hours but yet he’s okay with risking his life just to see the girl he thought was beautiful. How many boys would be willing to do this for a girl in today's world? :I Not many. Another perfect example of the super fast story time line is when Romeo marries Juliet. In the book the fraier says “Till Holy Church incorporate two in one.” Which means they are now officially married. This has

    “I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent” (Mahatma Ghandi). This quote says that violence can solve problems but only temporarily, the solution is never permanent. In many situations violence has sparked more violence, not just in Romeo and Juliet but in real life situations. William Shakespeare manages to take real-life themes and incorporates them into his plays. He brought the theme of violence creating more violence in Romeo and Juliet by making the two families, the Capulets and the Montagues, use violence as the solution to their problems concerning each other.…

    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.…

    The word "adult" is usually thought of as a guardian or a matured person. They see an adult as someone who takes the responsibility of taking care of a child. However, not all the adults take care of the child even though it's their responsibility to do so. For the truth is, if adults abandon the child, he or she will eventually become a delinquent. In Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare, adult interference is to be blamed for the deaths of secret lovers.…

    Romeo and Juliet

    Fate, most people don’t even believe in it; in fact some don’t even know what it is. There are many definitions of Fate, but most seem to revolve around something like a force—in which no one can control—in life. But one of the few people—in that small percentage—that do believe in fate, so happens to include William Shakespeare himself, and he tries to proof Fate to be true through figurative language and incidents, in his book Romeo and Juliet. This story is about two families, very similar to one another, but yet different, for sadly, a family feud keeps them apart. The son and daughter of each family fall in love and due to all the pressures they feel from their family and others, they die, side by side in their unfortunate love.…

    Romeo and Juliet

    Romeo and Juliet is undoubtedly a tragedy, ending in the pair’s death. But, since the two committed suicide, it is unclear whether their demise was brought on by themselves or sealed through fate. Elizabethans knew that suicide was the devil’s business so this supports it being predestined. Romeo and Juliet’s tale is one of fate rather than freewill. Romeo and Juliet’s fate is prescribed through their parent’s feud, and Shakespeare’s use of dramatic irony and foreshadowing demonstrates this. In particular, this is seen through: Juliet’s consumption of fake poison, their secret marriage, and the audience’s knowledge of Romeo and Juliet’s death from the beginning of the play.…

    ROMEO AND JULIET

    William Shakespeare’s tragedy of two star-crossed lovers whose deaths ultimately reconcile their feuding families, entails a variety of conflicting figurative language. Sound devices, imagery, juxtaposition, oxymorons, and other figurative language examples all assist in conveying the theme that life is paradoxical, in Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet. A supreme example of this theme, could be Friar Lawrence’s opening lines, “The gray-eyed morn smiles on the frowning night, / Check’ring the eastern clouds with streaks of light; / And flecked darkness like a drunkard reels / From forth day’s path and Titan’s burning wheels.” (II.iii.1-4) Throughout Act I and Act II, Shakespeare juxtaposes the characters of Romeo and Juliet to develop the theme of the paradoxical nature of life.…

    Romeo and Juliet

    Romeo and Juliet is a story of two doomed teenage lovers whose fate ends in tragedy. In modern times the name Romeo has become nearly synonymous with “lover”. Romeo, in Romeo and Juliet, does indeed experience a love of such purity and passion that he believes he can no longer live and decides to take his own life when he believes that the object of his love, Juliet, has died. The power of Romeo’s love, however, often obscures a clear vision of Romeo’s character, which is far more complex. He is an emotional, juvenile, brave character that makes very impulsive, rash decisions. Romeos character changes drastically throughout the play due to his character traits, strong influences from others and determination…
