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!
One of William Shakespeare’s many famous plays, Romeo and Juliet is a dramatic tragedy that is one of the best examples of Shakespeare’s ability to use rhetorical devices to invoke emotion and persuade the audience. In Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare specifically uses abundant personification and juxtaposition along with dramatic irony in Romeo’s soliloquy of act 5, scene 3. These literary devices are used to create a strong underlying rhetorical effect of doom and inevitability in Shakespere’s audience. Multiple times throughout Romeo’s

In Act Three, Scene Three of William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, Friar Laurence expresses his distress towards Romeo’s recent behavior.

The use of figurative language in this outburst reveals how foolish and ungrateful Romeo has been.

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.
In Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet Juliet when juliet is told that Romeo killed Tybalt she uses a hateful attitude toward Romeo using diction to help create her attitude in the passage. In act III scene ii after the nurse tells Juliet Romeo has killed Tybalt her attitude changes toward Romeo from being in love with him to a hateful tone. For example she states ”Beautiful tyrant, fiend angelical (3.2.81).” This shows Juliet attitude by when she says fiend angelical she compares Romeo to pretty much a devilish angel. When she refers to him as a devilish angel Juliet is saying how Romeo has a bad side like the devil where it’s evil and has soul but,then refers to as a angel where it’s nice kind person.
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

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.
We are human. Humans have emotions. The matter of fact is that our emotions are one of the few things that control us even without our consent. They can control what we do or say, and sometimes can even make us make impulsive decisions. Emotions have more control over us then we have control over ourselves.

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.
William Shakespeare is a renowned poet. One of his more well known stories is Romeo and Juliet, a tragedy of two star crossed lovers in fair Verona. This story follows the guidelines of an Elizabethan tragedy which has three components to it. It includes a catastrophe of the main character with the Elizabethan practice of death, the tragedy can’t just be an accident but by a flaw of the main character, and the hero must have a trait that outweighs their defects and interests the readers. For Romeo, his tendency to be quick to action forces him and the people around him to suffer.
