In this paragraph, Juliet is oxymoronic and uses paradoxes to give expression and to show that she is conflicted. The first line, “O serpent heart, hid with a flowering face!” is revealing that Juliet is not very forgiving towards Romeo for killing her cousin and thinks that his bad character got masked by his good looks and charm. This first line doesn’t have an oxymoron in it however the point of it is to show the audience that Juliet’s first reaction towards the incident is not good. Lines two and four are where she begins to use oxymora and it states, “Beautiful tyrant! Fiend angelical!
Adolescent brains and young love are the most to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet, ultimately leading to their demise. Even though it may seem like the rivalry between the families was the leading cause of their death, it was rather a small piece to a cornucopia of issues for these star-crossed lovers. Identifying the ages of maturity levels in Romeo and Juliet is a significant element in the story that can help us understand important themes and morals of the story. Romeo and Juliet are still children, as stated by the drama. And children are generally incapable of viewing things from the perspectives of others.
Juliet Takes a Breath by Gabby Rivera is a captivating story that follows a young Latina lesbian’s journey of self-discovery and acceptance. While Juliet grows to find comfort in her cultural identity and sexual orientation, Harlowe contradicts Juliet's image during her book reading by reducing Juliet to a stereotype. Following this racially aggressive moment, Maxine, another person of color, calls out Juliet for walking away and not standing up for herself in Chapter 25. Through the intersectional identities and stress response of flight, I seek to examine how Rivera explores the notion of blame and ownership through Maxine’s conversation with Juliet about Harlowe’s reading.

Also, the decisions they made and the problems they caused such as ruining true love.
I have chosen one of the key people in this book that led to the deaths of Romeo and Juliette is Friar Laurence. I am choosing to punish the Friar because in act 2 Romeo went to his church and told him they would like to get married. Even after the Friar said that this was not true love, the only reason was that she was a pretty girl and that “man's heart lives in man's eye.” He still agreed to marry them. This shows that he didn’t care if they loved each other and was more concerned about the ongoing fight between the families.
George Washington once said, “Worry is the interest paid by those who borrow trouble.” In Act 4, Scene 3 of his play, Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare proves this point. By showing Juliet in a manic, anxiety ridden state, while in the midst of a life or death situation brought on by her own actions, Shakespeare provides evidence for Washington’s claim. By showcasing Juliet’s panicked mind, through his use of imagery and repetition of rhetorical questions, Shakespeare characterizes Juliet as being anxious and paranoid.
By: Elijah and Zoe. The conclusions reached in the article “Teens’ Brains” affirm the actions and thoughts of both Romeo and Juliet. Romeo affirms the conclusion that experts’ can talk about how “juveniles on average are more: impulsive, aggressive, emotionally volatile, likely to take risks, reactive to stress, vulnerable to peer pressure, prone to focus on short-term payoff and underplay longer term consequences of what they do” “when they are confronted with stressful or emotional decisions” (qtd in “Teens’ Brains”). Meaning that teens don’t look for any alternate solutions to the problems they may face and are greatly affected by their emotions which Romeo does after Tybalt kills Mercutio, Romeo overtaken by grief and wanting to fight Tybalt saying, “And

They have some bumps in the road when there hormones tend to take over. Hormones play a specific role in a teens life. It tends to take over the emotions and physical activity of teens.
According Aristotle, tragedy is an imitation of an action that is serious, complete, beautiful with the use of language, performed by actors, arousing the emotions of pity and fear, and afterwards purified these emotions. When audience watches a tragedy, the feelings of pity and fear are evoked. The audience feels sorry for the characters who come to an undeserved suffering. the audience, furthermore, is afraid that it might come to misery like those characters. Nevertheless, the audience will have its catharsis, which is the purgation of the emotions of pity and fear, through the play.
As the Chorus once said “a pair of star-crossed lovers take their life; Whose misadventure's piteous overthrows Doth with their death bury their parents' strife.” The Corus once said that when they used these metaphors, they were using a form of foreshadowing to give hints of what was going to happen at the end of the story. When they say this to the reader, they are trying to imply that at the end, Romeo and Juliet will take their lives because of the hatred of their parents. Romeo and Juliet's devastating death was most definitely motivated purely by hatred. The reasoning behind this is that Romeo and Juliet's families are bitterly opposed to each other, making them despair that they will never marry.
The Tragic Tale of Juliet Timing affects everyone’s lives, and each event that has happened could be drastically different by an hour or even less. One day you could be on a beach, the next day you could be at a funeral mourning someone you love. When times seem tough, pushing through is what seems to be a constant theme in the play The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. Juliet seems to be a character that is barely escaping and narrowly avoiding each major plot event. Shakespeare uses Juliet to convey tragedy by making each major and crucial plot point revolve around her, changing the theme of the book and how the story plays out towards the end.
Even after 400 years, Shakespeare is still managing to stay relevant. To this day many high school students learn and study Shakespeare for his “stunning quotes” many people use Shakespeare quotes without actually realize they are doing so. Many people use “Romeo, Romeo, where art thou Romeo?” as a joking sentence or in drama plays. This quote is found in Shakespeare's “Romeo and Juliet”.
In the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, he tells the story of two people who fall in love, Romeo, a Montague, and Juliet, a Capulet. Their families have been feuding for as long as they can remember, making their love for one another very dangerous. The two go to extreme lengths to be with each other, but this eventually results in both of them losing their lives. Throughout this story, Shakespeare conveys through his use of syntax and diction with wrathful tone that hatred can make people act irrationally loyal, and this hatred can cloud one’s morals. We first see Shakespeare demonstrate the dangers that come from fighting without proper reason in the very beginning between the characters Tybalt and Benvolio.

“Falling too fast only ends you up with love that won’t last” (Cecily Morgan). In Act Two, Scene Two of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, Juliet expresses her initial feelings about her love for Romeo after their first encounter at the Capulets’ party. The purpose of Juliet’s monologue is to convey that love changes an individual’s character and the conception of love at first sight is questionable. Love is a powerful idea that can sway personalities in order to capture the attention of prospective mates. For example, Juliet tells Romeo how her words from earlier that night cause her to blush and she says that she will gladly, “dwell on form… deny / What I have spoke:
