In the book Endangered by Eliot Schrefer, Sophie, a brave and determined character, meets Otto, a bonobo, for the first time and saves Otto from the bonobo trafficker on the street. Sophie cares for Otto a lot and when conflict springs out of control in Congo, another arises deep in the sanctuary when soldiers invade the area.

Blame is a psychological thing that the human brain does when it doesn’t want to feel responsible. The reason people resort to blame is because they don’t want to take part in the consequences that come about due to their own decisions. In Romeo and Juliet, blame is a prominent factor, exampled by the Capulet/Montague feud and by Tybalt’s and Mercutio’s tempers. In the book “It’s not my Fault: The No Excuse Plan for Overcoming Life’s Obstacles” by Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. Townsend, there is a quote that cautions, “We live in a culture of blame.
Romeo Montague, from Romeo and Juliet is the picture perfect tragic hero. Romeo portrays all of Aristotle’s traits of a tragic hero. Hamartia and hubris played a part in Romeo’s destruction. Romeo’s death was far from deserved. Throughout the play, Romeo’s actions and fate help build the platform of a tragic hero.
“Guy Montag is in his home and reading Romeo Juliet and he is in the part that Romeo is committing suicide because of the death of Juliet” Montag: O Romeo stop She is alive! I should do something to stop Romeo. What, that should I do? Oh, of course I can get into time machine, which is in the fire center!
Capulet decides that Juliet needs to marry Paris, and Juliet decides to make up a lie which leads to her death. This wouldn’t have happened if the Montague and Capulet families settled their argument and let them be together. Capulet states that “You're not really giving me any thanks or showing me any pride. But get yourself ready for Thursday. You're going to Saint Peter's Church to marry Paris.”
Within the third act of William Shakespeare 's Romeo & Juliet, there was death, there was marriage, there were banishments, acts of traitorism, and tonnes of love! One quote that I find that explains it all, it was said during the final scene of act three. In this scene, Romeo who had his last hours allowed in Verona made a visit to his secret bride to bid her a final farewell, and just as Romeo climbed down the balcony, Juliet said, “Methinks I see thee now, thou art so low, / As one dead in the bottom of a tomb. /
In William Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet Tybalt has a hateful personality and is motivated by violence as seen through his speech. As Tybalt is walking towards the fight that is occurring outside, he snaps “ What, drawn, and talk of peace! I hate the word, As I hate hell, all Montagues, and all thee: have at thee coward! This reveals that Tybalt is a very hateful person because he is talking about how much he dislikes the word peace so much. Also, this quote is a simile because it is comparing his hate of peace to hell.
If you were challenged to a duel by you cousin what would you do? Well Romeo felt this when Tybalt Romeo’s new hateful, bold, and demanding cousin challenged him to a duel. Tybalt Juliet's cousin from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet is all and more of these words used to describe him. And Tybalt is a hateful, bold, and demanding character that love nothing more than to see Romeo killed. Tybalt is an insanely hateful character especially towards Romeo and his household.
In Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, Tybalt is at the most of Mercutio’s death because of his explosive personality and temper, which led to him acting without thinking. In act 3 Scene 1, a tragic and dramatic fight takes place, where Mercutio was struck by Tybalt and as a result, died. This fight came to be because Tybalt came up to Romeo demanding a duel for he was at a Capulet ball. Romeo, being married to Tybalt’s in-law tries to avoid the conflict when Tybalt states “Romeo, the love I bear thee can afford No better term than this: thou art a villain” (3.1.61-62)
Antagonist, displeasing, irritating, and annoying are all words that the silent majority of us can connect to family, friends, and foes with anger issues. Although there are a few well rounded traits of Tybalt, from the house of Capulet, anger is definitely one of his weak spots. A couple of notable stretches in the play “The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet” bring out his worst enemy, his own fire and fury. A brief example of this is near the beginning before the Prince threatens to kill the next person who fights in the streets of Verona.
Lord Capulet and Juliet are arguing on her marrying Paris. Lord Capulet then says, ¨To go with Paris to Saint Peter's church,/Or I will drag thee on a hurdle thither¨(3.5.155-156). Him saying this to Juliet, makes her feel betrayed and lead her to find a way to get out of the forced marriage. If Capulet would have been more steady and nice about the whole situation, Juliet might have told her parents what was going on. But, because he was raging with anger, Juliet felt like she had just been thrown to the wolves; She did not have the mindset of even thinking to bring Romeo up.
How does one know if love is meant to be? To what extent should one risk to pursue love, if the universe and everyone around you opposed it? Romeo and Juliet, the two star-crossed lovers, sacrificed everything in their grasp to go against these odds in order to be together. Although the events within the play never played to their liking, they were still determined to stay together. The play titled The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare uses fate and destiny to foreshadow the theme of tragic, unavoidable occurrences by incorporating numerous events which are indicative of what is to unfold.
Fate and choices tie hand in hand with the theme of Romeo and Juliet and an example of how they tie hand in hand is when Tybalt and Mercutio fight. In Act 3 Scene 1 line 37-38 Tybalt says, “Boy, your words can’t excuse the harm you’ve done to me. So now turn and draw your sword.” In this scene, Tybalt is upset because he feels as though Romeo is dishonoring him.
All is fair in love and war, and arguably hate. Love and hate are equated because they are both strong emotions which impair our sense of judgment and discernment. All is fair in love and war because they are irrational and therefore justified. “Love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame”(Song of Songs 8:6).
Romeo and Juliet is a play written by Shakespeare that was about two young people falling into an unbreakable love. Were Romeo and Juliet really in love with each other? Romeo and Juliet could not have been in love, they were both young, barely knew each other, and they were willing to die because they thought that was the only way they could be together. Juliet was only 14 years old when she decided to marry Romeo.
