Youthful, star-crossed, desperate. Whose repercussions most shook the ill-fated souls of Romeo and Juliet? An arrogant, battle-prone kinsman of the prince, with boisterous character. Mercutio, of William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, had the most profound effect upon the fates of Romeo and Juliet. Romeo’s aversion to take part in the Capulet masque was overturned by Mercutio’s persistence, giving way to the happenstance of Romeo and Juliet’s meeting.

While she has internalised the social convention that man ought to do the wooing to the passive female, she does the exact opposite of what she says because of Demetrius’ “wrongs”. He has, prior to the play, proved to be disloyal towards her while she remains faithful and woos him to fix their relationship therefore subverting the gender roles. Like her other female counterparts in the play, Helena’s love becomes the stimulant for the chaos she creates. To Alexander Leggatt, the lovers in A Midsummer Night’s Dream are so “deeply embedded in the experience of love that they are unaware of convention”, rather than being unaware, they are conscientiously fighting the conventions on the grounds of love, for their love to achieve what they desire (Legatt

Maturity gives a person understanding, understanding that allows for prosperity, and with prosperity, survival. In Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, two people, born as enemies, defy their statuses to be together in love. Immaturity killed the two lovers, as immaturity had affected their ability to make plans and decisions. Juliet's immaturity affected her ability to make good plans in a negative way, as she had been rash when dealing with problems that arose. This can be seen in Act 4 of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, where after Friar Lawrence presented his plan to allow Juliet to avoid her arranged marriage, Juliet says, "Give me, give me!

In the Shakespearean play Romeo and Juliet, the play is mainly ran by the bad choices Romeo and Juliet make. These many hasty decisions eventually led to the death of the two star crossed lovers. Some of the decisions that will be mentioned here will be: Romeo getting involved in Mercutio and Tybalt’s “duel”, the Friar agreeing to marry Romeo and Juliet, and the two lovers rushing into marriage. To begin, one of the impetuous decisions Romeo makes: Getting involved in Mercutio and Tybalt. “Hold Tybalt!

How Does Shakespeare make the passage with Don John so Dramatic? (Act3 Scene2) In the Act 3 Scene 2 of the book “Much Ado About Nothing” Don John is planning to ruin the marriage of Claudio and Hero, (daughter of Leonato) in order to get revenge to his brother Don Pedro. This scene shows a conversation between Don Pedro and Claudio listening to Don John who is trying to convince them with a lie that Claudio should not marry Hero because she is impure and if he marries her it will be a disgrace to Claudio. He makes this conversation very dramatic by making Don John in the story a very persuasive speaker.

Strangeworth are the result of decisions they have made based on their morally distorted views. As illustrated in Macbeth, after Macbeth's morals have shifted (need stronger word) due to the pressure of his wife, his intent to satisfy pushes him to consider the irreversible task of murder. After the decision to kill is made and the death of the sleeping King Duncan, Macbeth returns to Lady Macbeth and says, "I have done the deed. Didst thou not hear a noise?" (Shakespeare 2.2.16).

Affection causes the risk of Helena’s virginity and safety because of her hasty actions towards Demetrius. Forms the risk of harsh punishments for Hermia and Lysander, from Lysander’s thoughtless actions to escape as they would be killed if caught. Also, the impulsiveness of Titania humiliates her reputation and the loss of her changeling boy. Is love really that important to act foolishly impulsive

(Shakespeare i, vii). Macbeth is having second thought about killing King Duncan, however Lady Macbeth refused to allow him to pass up the opportunity to become king. She asked these rhetorical questions in order to make him feel ashamed of himself for not acting on his desires. Lady Macbeth's main intentions are to make the situation sount elegant so Macbeth feels comfortable killing him. She tries to reason logically with him, pointing out that he wanted to kill the king, but now when he has the opportunity too, he suddenly doesn't want to.

Shakespeare uses Viola (Cesario) as an example of a mechanism that can throw internal conflicts into temporary chaos. Viola willingly faces whatever comes in her way. Her love for Duke Orsino seems too constant and true, unlike the other characters in the play. The temporary chaos of the play is when Viola falls in love with Orsino, who falls in love with Olivia, who on the other hand falls in love with Viola’s disguise, Cesario. This love triangle is very complicated as none of them realize that Cesario is a woman, making this an internal conflict for Viola, as she cannot ‘truly’ love whom she wants.

Midsummer Night’s Dream The Thematic Idea of Love In the play Midsummer Night’s Dream ,the couple that shows the best example of the thematic idea of love would be Hermia and Lysander. What they show us about love,as human beings,is the strong bonding,the strong love one can for take.

Open your mind and come into the world of the woods, a forest of wonders with worlds collided. Experience the universe of Stephen Sondheim at its best in Into the Woods, where princes and princesses, wolf and giants brought together by the mighty witch of the dark wood. The story began with characters seeking wishes of their hearts, but little did they know of their intertwined destiny, their wishes brought them together, but where karma takes hold, consequence ensues.

In the Elizabethan play The Tragedy of Macbeth, William Shakespeare expresses through character behavior when a desirable object tempts someone, they become blind to the consequences of their actions.
