Everyone says things they don’t mean because of their anger at the moment. In William Shakespeare’s tragedy Romeo and Juliet, we learn the story of two lovers who fall for each other fast and later take their lives. This tragedy teaches us how acting rashly can result in terrible consequences. Examples that Shakespeare used in this story consists of the death of Mercutio and the marriage of Romeo and Juliet.
The Path of Hate and Feud to Death. When Mercutio dies, Romeo gets filled with anger and kills Tybalt, causing all the horrible events that follow. The story of Romeo and Juliet is about two young teens falling in love with families that despise each other. Eventually, the hate gets out of control, and they die.
Your parents always told you “Hate is a strong word”. They were right; hate tears people apart, it is the cause of war and feuds , it creates chaos, and ruins lives, hate is destructive. Hate is a powerful weapon that can be accidentally and purposely used. Displays of hatred are often showed in stories and the hate always causes conflict. In Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare, the hatred between two families leads to the tragic deaths of many people.
Emotions Rather than Intelligence “To be old and wise, you must first be young and stupid. ”(Unknown). Romeo and Juliet lose their young lives due to youth and inexperience. They were rash and reckless when it came to their actions which led to their sad ending. For instance, if they listened to the adults and recognized what could result from their love, they could have had a happier ending.
In William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, we see that anger, fate/chance, and impatience is the main cause of their tragic death. The first form of anger that we see in Romeo and Juliet is when the prince says, "If you ever disturb our streets again, your lives shall pay for the forfeit of the peace" (I. i. 6). " The meaning of this quote is, those who fight in the streets of Verona shall die.
Romeo and Juliet make hormonal and impulsive decisions that show their immaturity. After Tybalt kills Mercutio, Romeo cannot control his emotions and feels the need for revenge. He says, “Alive in triumph, and Mercutio slain! Away to heaven, respective lenity, and fire-eyed fury be my conduct now”(3.1.127-129). Part of being mature is the ability to control strong emotions, and here Romeo tells us that he is letting his fury guide his actions.
Romeo and Juliet In relation to the tale of Romeo and Juliet, Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” In the play Romeo & Juliet by Shakespeare, hate is responsible for most of the events in the play. It drives the story forward in various ways because of their families hatred. It is the ultimate source that brings them together in the end.
Romeo and Juliet is a well-known play written by William Shakespeare. Even though it is famous for being a love story, Shakespeare demonstrates that rebellion is closely tied together either it through the characters: Juliet, Romeo and Tybalt. By defying their families, authority and society's expectations, they set in motion the events in this tragedy. Romeo’s rebellion against society's expectations and his own family, the Montagues, is because of his love. His love of Rosaline is his first demonstration of defiance.
As Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet begins, a chorus appears before the audience and provides a short summary of the events occurring in both during and before the play. In this summary, they tell the audience where the play takes place and the aversion prominent between the two families the play revolves around. In the addressment of the setting: “fair Verona, where we lay our scene,” Shakespeare juxtaposes the word and phrase “fair” and “ancient grudge” (I.Prologue.1-2). Clearly, choosing the word “fair” to describe Verona evokes images of a peaceful place, where an “ancient grudge,” or a classic source for hate does not belong (I.Prologue.1-2). Beyond acting as an obvious phrase referring to hate, “ancient grudge break[ing] to new mutiny”
“Romeo and Juliet” by William Shakespeare entertains the audience through use of character, language and drama. The plot focuses on the theme of conflict and consequences, using deep characterisation, descriptive language and high drama to entertain. Act 3 Scene 1 focuses on a brutal feud between two enemies and Act 3 Scene 5 follows the patriarchal society’s approach to women marriage and societal expectations. Shakespeare forces the audience to engage with the idea of conflict and what it must have been like to live through this time. Shakespeare cleverly utilises a changing atmosphere in Act 3 Scene 1 to expertly entertain his audience.
In many high schools, 9th graders read stories from different times and of different genres in their english classes. Notably, one of the most prominent stories read by high schoolers is The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. However, there is controversy that high schoolers should not read this Shakespearean play because many argue that it is not relevant to what teens deal with on a daily basis. Despite the fact that the tragedy takes place in the 14th century, teens were no different back then. As a matter of fact, The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet presents topics that present-day teens still struggle with such as brain development, tunnel vision, and how to correctly approach suicidal teens.
The two most powerful emotions of William shakespeare’s playwright of “Romeo and Juliet” are love and hate. The two star crossed lovers have to overcome hate in the entire play. Unfortunately both couldn’t handle the pain so they committed suicide. Many people would disagree with me and say love is stronger than hate, but in this case it has to be hate is stronger than love. It is evident that hate is stronger than love ,because if the families were not fighting none of this would of happened.
Emotions are what propel you forward to reach your goal, but what also stop you from breaking your limits. They are what weigh into our decisions and help lead us to the choices we forever live with. Not only can they determine what we do, but also when and how we do it. At times they are stronger than others, pulling us forward or throwing us back as if we have absolutely no control. Just like in Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, the entire lives of two teenagers led by the emotions that they couldn’t ignore.
The chorus starts us off in Verona, where an old argument between two families, the Capulets and the Montagues, caused new violence in the city, and two children of these families were affected by the argument. Only the death of Romeo and Juliet, the “star-crossed lovers”, can end the feud. Romeo tells Benvolio about the girl he loves, but she does not love him back. Lord Capulet denies Paris’s proposal for his daughter Juliet, but he invites him to a party to look at other women to see if he really loves Juliet. Benvolio talks Romeo into going to the party to find other women besides Rosaline.
Love and Rivalries mean only Violence and Tragedies It can be said that violence does not solve anything and its only outcome can be more continuous violence. This statement is truly made apparent during the story, The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. The star-crossed lovers, Romeo and Juliet, as well as other characters throughout the story suffer continually from violence.
