Romeo And Juliet Research Paper

Shakespeare's view of love is like clear water, pure love without any pollution. It’s the kind of unforgettable love that can not express with a lot of word. Like Shakespeare said himself: “If love inside calculation combined with nothing to do with it, that is not true love.” In the "Romeo and Juliet", the love of the two is pure. There is no race or money or the right to be considered. It’s dutiless love. Shakespeare's works are reflected in a color of humanist or humanitarian inside of his idea of love. Regardless of the tragedy or comedy, after the last scene, it will always allow the audience to think, to reflect on their own, their events, their values and the nature. Shakespeare wrote 37 plays during his life, perhaps far more than the

One of the Chinese masterpiece is specifically written for love, it’s called “Dream of the red Mansions”. They are all great writings that spread all around the world from the past to now. But the difference is that the two authors’s understanding of love is diametrically opposed to each other. Shakespeare's love is about loyalty, the only, the inviolable and irrevocable. The love that whoever had chosen is no longer going back.While the Chinese writer, Cao Xueqin's idea of love in the “Dream of the red Mansions” contains the trade between aristocracy and the idea of patriarch.In the story, Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu is a natural pair of two affectionate, like Romeo and Juliet.

But Shakespeare's love is the stubborn love without any surrenders. However, in Shakespeare’s era, stubborn character is bad after all. Like in Midsummer Night's Dream, Hemiya is brave and stubborn, who fight for unreasonable feudal marriage, their own happiness. Showing the witty brave and the valuable quality of self-esteem. Midsummer Night's Dream also reflects the status of society at

Among these types, we see the love of erotic most often in Shakespeare’s writing. Eros means love that is erotic, romantic, sensual, sexual and full of desire. For me, it is the imagination after our first impression on someone who we like. Plato said in Symposium: “Love is about what we desire”, and we can found full of desire in the first impression of Romeo to Juilet. When Romeo first time see Juilet, he said: “O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright!It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night. Like a rich jewel in an Ethiope's ear; Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear! So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows, As yonder lady o'er her fellows shows. The measure done, I'll watch her place of stand, And, touching hers, make blessed my rude hand. Did my heart love till now? forswear it, sight! For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night.” (page 53) The desire that Romeo had on Juilet is intensive. And for people who always believe love at the first sight, their love is erotic love. It is about desire and imagination. When all the romantic and desire gone, the love will happen to be taken
