Romeo And Juliet Compare And Contrast

Whatever it Takes

In the movie Inside Out, Joy is willing to do whatever it takes to keep Riley a happy kid. When Sadness makes Riley feel upset about memories that were once happy. Joy has her stand still in a circle. When trouble happens, Joy is willing to leave Sadness behind so she can keep Riley happy, even if that means Riley will never feel sadness. Those willing to do whatever it takes to be happy and even control other happiness is the star in their universe. This is similar to a situation in the play Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare. For instance, Romeo, a protagonist from the Montague family, is a peaceful boy who falls fastly in love. There is also Juliet, a protagonist from the Capulet family, who is a cautious and

After the recent marriage of Romeo and Juliet, he is now facing the wrath of her cousin Tybalt in family rivalry. Romeo mentions to Tybalt, “And so, good Capulet—which name I tender As dearly as my own—be satisfied.” (lll, 1, 69-70) Romeo uses words like “Capulet- which name I tender” in a subtle and unsubtle way of saying that he had just married Juliet.

On Romeo’s way out of Verona, he stops by Juliet's balcony to say his last goodbye before he leaves. Romeo utters to Juliet, “I have more care to stay than will to go. Come, death, and welcome! Juliet wills it so.”(lll, 5, 21-23) Romeo would “care to stay” with Juliet, no matter the cost, instead of running away to Maunta. He would have “death, and welcome,” if Juliet asked him to stay in Verona because of his undying love for her. Romeo, the star, drove the plot by marrying Juliet and getting banished for killing
