Theme Of Greed In Romeo And Juliet

Greed is Inescapable

Everyone deserves to have that feeling to be overwhelmed with glee and happiness, but does there come a point when your personal goals cross the line and become selfish? Or greedy? But if it makes you happy should you have to stop for the burden of others? Happiness has no exact definition, but nearly all of us know the feeling where sometime in our life to be brimming with joyous emotion. Some pursue that feeling there whole life to never quite reach it, others are blessed to have it right in front of them. But then there are those who will not let anyone stop them from reaching their version of happiness. This can range from cutting someone out of your life who has often brought down your cheerful

You might not always notice this, but use ‘Romeo and Juliet’ for example, almost all think of this story of two young lovers who deserved to be together but couldn’t.

As soon as him and his wife find out that they might of possibly won the lottery he immediately tells all the things he would do
