William Shakespeare, who is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language, once stated, “Never play with the feelings of others, because you may win the game but the risk is that you will surely lose the person for life time”. Shakespeare makes thorough points when speaking about how it is important to think about the risks that individuals will be taking when playing with emotions. Shakespeare also wrote the play, The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, which is the text that this piece of writing will be focussing on. The play by Shakespeare is a timeless tale of love and tragedy. The play

Love causes people to lose the ability to feel like themselves, while Fear can prompt people’s brains to interrupt the constant flowing processes that allow humans to regulate their emotions. In Shakespeare's The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, Juliet's character experiences a wide range of emotions, including fear and sadness. Her fear is most evident when she realizes the severity of her situation, which is the result of her love for Romeo, who is a member of the rival Montague family. Lord Capulet has made the final decision that Juliet will have to marry Paris within the next couple of days. Juliet’s fear begins to strike even more rapidly because of her father’s sudden choice. Therefore, it isn’t that surprising when Juliet runs to Friar, looking for support during these rough times in her life.

Juliet's fear is compounded by her family's strict code of conduct, which forbids

Sadness causes people to lose the ability to feel like themselves, while Anger can prompt people to lose concentration in life and become someone that they would later regret. In Shakespeare's, The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, the Nurse is a complex character who experiences a range of emotions, including sadness and anger. Her sadness is most apparent in the latter half of the play when she realizes the devastating consequences of the feud between the Capulet and Montague families. She is deeply affected by the tragic deaths of Tybalt, “NURSE: Ah, welladay! He’s dead, he’s dead, he’s dead!/We are undone, lady, we are undone!/Alack the day! He’s gone, he’s killed, he’s dead!” (III.ii.38-40). Her grief is palpable as she mourns the loss of Tybalt. The Nurse's sadness is further compounded by the guilt she feels for her role in the tragedy. She loved Tybalt like her own son and had watched him grow up alongside Juliet. The Nurse is torn between her loyalty to Juliet and her affection for Tybalt, making the news of his death even more difficult to bear. She mourns the loss of a young man who she saw as full of life and potential, and struggles to come to terms with the senseless violence that led to his untimely death. The Nurse's sadness over Tybalt's death serves as a reminder of the
