Banishment In Romeo And Juliet

In the past century there have been many movies, novels, and plays that both have plot twists and mood swings but you don’t find too much in the 1500s. Between the dates 1516 and 1616, a playwright by the name of William Shakespeare rose up to be the best writer in the English language. He was the Mark Twain of his century. He wrote many plays but one of which that was the most popular of his time was Romeo and Juliet. This is one of the most tragic love stories written in the 1590s that shows both passion and hate.

Ever since Romeo and Juliet met the night at her father 's feast, they have been alive like a couple of teenagers usually are, however, when their mood changes in the middle to more of a solemn state they see what could 've happened differently. The result from their playfulness was their wedding and the result of their seriousness was the death of Tybalt which then led to Romeo’s banishment. When this banishment happened Juliet became more serious. Juliet became desperate and soon became serious. As she asks Friar Laurence for help to be with Romeo, he gives her a potion that acts like she is dead but really isn’t. Although someone would think that she would take the potion in a second to be with her loved one, she doesn’t and thinks of different possibilities.
