10. Styles Bridges Styles Bridges, a Republican Senator from New Hampshire from 1937 until his death in 1961, was an uncommonly ardent anticommunist, and a steadfast defender of the more famous Joseph McCarthy. He is one of the few to have voted against McCarthy’s censure in 1954, and supported the “witch hunts” which took place during the Second Red Scare, as well as the persecution of gay civil servants during the so-called “lavender scare.” These actions alone would convince many that he was a rather unsavory character, but his infamy lies in his treatment of Senator Lester Hunt of Wyoming, a Democrat, in 1953-4. Hunt’s son was gay, and had been arrested for trying to solicit sex from an undercover policeman.

The ancient mutiny among the two families was theoretically the whole cause of the deaths that abruptly occurred throughout the course of the play. Yet, fate is again to blame, because had the two families not fought, chaos would not have been greeted, with open hands. If their mutiny were to be looked well upon, for example their mutiny brought forth entertainment to Verona, so be it. But William Shakespeare depicts their feud as yet another cynical game of fate. If the feud among the families had not been created, Romeo, Juliet, Tybalt, Mercutio, and many more would not have died.
However, the deaths of the children resolve the hatred between the two families. It’s foreshadowing because Romeo and Juliet become lovers and they both end up dead. Prince 1. 1.

Shakespeare’s diction throughout the play, plays a key role in the tragedy as it sets a tone and is used to foreshadow. In Act 3 scene 1, Shakespeare uses many words that signify the incentive to fight, by deciding to open the dramatic scene by saying “for now, these hot days, is the mad blood stirring” (3.1.4) the words “hot”, and “mad blood” can be interpreted as a foreshadowing, this relates to the irrationality of the violence in the play because it foreshadows the deaths in the scene and the fights that will be started by Mercutio’s unsound anger.
