How Is Hate Shown In Romeo And Juliet

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. In Born Wicked by Jessica Spotswood, every human has hatred for witches and this leads to a bad deception. A strong rivalry exists between the Capulet and the Montague family in Shakespeare's, Romeo and Juliet. Shakespeare does not reveal to us why such a hatred exists. Nevertheless the families

In Shakespeare's tale, the hate between the two families causes fights, arguments, and even death. The members of the two families make all their decisions about each other based on hate. “The day is hot; the Capulets, abroad;And if we meet we shall not ’scape a brawl,” (Shakespeare 3.1.1).

However there are more instances caused by the hatred of witches such as broken relationships and just flat out bad circumstances. It creates a fearful world with a dictator-like group who control everyone. “Men are not punished as severely as women, but for rising up against the Brotherhood, there are prison ships.” (Spotswood, 191). The Brotherhood are the men who originally decided to kill all the witches, they have only but hate for their kind. The Brotherhood have used hate as a slogan for their leadership and power. This has resulted in a sexist, dictator-like group whom only inflict pain and complete order upon people. These are the consequences of hate, they are not small and should not be overlooked. There is more to the results and consequences of hate, such as the lessons people learned and the changes these lessons led
