1. Shakespeare was truthful and accurate in the play Romeo and Juliet. During the time of the play, there was a bubonic plague. This plague was killing millions of people, destroying families, and causing there to be many fights amongst families of wealth. During the final Scene of the play Friar Lawrence caught the plague and he ended up not being able to transfer Romeo a message about the faked death of Juliet.
Have you ever wondered how life was like when schools were only for the privilege and Kings still ruled over cities. Well Romeo and Juliet tells of just that. In the story a man and a woman meet and instantly fall in love, but both of their families are in a fued which causes plenty of bloodshed and ultimately the death of the two lovers, now the question is who is to blame for the blood loss and tears shed for them? The first thing that came to mind was the feud between the two families.
Adolescent brains and young love are the most to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet, ultimately leading to their demise. Even though it may seem like the rivalry between the families was the leading cause of their death, it was rather a small piece to a cornucopia of issues for these star-crossed lovers. Identifying the ages of maturity levels in Romeo and Juliet is a significant element in the story that can help us understand important themes and morals of the story. Romeo and Juliet are still children, as stated by the drama. And children are generally incapable of viewing things from the perspectives of others.
Even though fate and destiny bear some responsibility for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet, the impact love had on their brains is to blame since it possessed them and made them take more risks. When Romeo and Juliet first fell in love with each other, their love possessed them, which influenced them to make the decisions that led to their deaths. For instance, in a TED Talk titled “The Brain in Love,” Helen Fisher explains how romantic love can cause one to lose their “sense of self” and not be able to “stop thinking about another human being” (Doc C). This describes how romantic love can possess one, causing them to make poor decisions they wouldn’t normally make.
Romeo and Juliet’s deaths are caused due to the scientific nature of love, and its ability to change someone as well as being young and reckless. Being in love can cause fully developed adults to forget who they are and what they stand for. As the author of Doc C states, “Romantic love is an obsession, it possesses you. You lose your sense of self.” (Doc C).
William Shakespeare, renowned author and poet, whose work has remained a prime example of quality material for centuries, began writing in the 1500s. His arguably most famous and renowned work, Romeo and Juliet, detested at its time, due to the tragic deaths of the main characters. Two young teenagers, star crossed lovers who are hopelessly lusting for one another. Their deaths were of their own accord, and yet there were many factors that played a role in influencing the rash decision that both teenagers decided to make. For centuries, people have argued which factor is most to blame, and yet there is still no definite answer.
While professing their love for each other, Juliet says, “My love as deep; the more I give to thee/the more I have, for both are infinite,” (Romeo and Juliet 2.2 134-135). This love between Romeo and Juliet is mutual because Juliet says that she and Romeo’s love is infinite, as the more love she gives to Romeo, the more love she receives. This is mutual because, as Juliet says, they are both giving love and both receiving love from the other person, meaning that both people experience the love. After Romeo kisses Juliet, she says, “Then have my lips the sin that they have took, (Romeo and Juliet 1.5 110). Romeo responds, saying, “Sin from my lips?
Montresor, from “The Cask of Amontillado” by Edgar Allan Poe, is manipulative, yet shows his weaknesses. Montresor manipulates Fortunato by insisting that if Fortunato is too busy that he will go with Luchresi and Fortunato repeats “Luchresi cannot tell Amontillado from Sherry” making it clear that Fortunato has been manipulated (Poe 292). As Montresor and Fortunato walk into the catacombs Montresor also keeps repeating “the Amontillado” when Fortunato might seem like he is about to back out (294). Even though Montresor killed Fortunato he tells the reader “My heart grew sick”, therefore letting the reader know that he is weak (295). Montresor was an evil man but his action will always come back to haunt him.

“O my love, my wife! Death, that hath suck'd the honey of thy breath. Hath had no power yet upon thy beauty” - Romeo shows here how much of a deep connection he had to Juliet by calling her “my love” and “my wife!”. “Death that hath suck’d the honey of thy breath” Romeo personifies death, giving it the ability to consume the essence of life. This was represented by the metaphorical “honey of thy breath”.

College, every kids dream when they were little was that they wanted to go to college, but the question is are they ready for it? Many say that we have not been properly educated for the future, but others say we have been taught the proper things we just choose not to learn the material. The problem with this is who is right? there are two theories, but not one of them stands out to be the correct one. This issue has been going around ever since the time they let in more students into the university that didn’t have high English or math skills, they let them in to fill the space.
