Sacrifice In William Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet

722 Words3 Pages

I carry a full conscious and a weighted heart. Not because of what I have done, but of what I could of done. These people I love, the people who caused me joy, are now the ones who have injured me. Was it my fault I continually ask myself. Is it because I led them down a dark path. Whatever the reason they have turned, not only from me, but to the rest of the world. I sit on this bench wondering why I 'm still waiting here. Why should I put my heart on the line once again? Why would this time be any different? Oh yeah that 's why. She walks towards me, down the concreted path. As to emphasize a point, the trees surrounding the walkway, sway with the breeze, bringing forth the colored autumn leaves along her path. Time stands …show more content…

He shouldn 't be I thought. "He is at work and will be off later". She says it in a cheery tone, but I find no happiness in the subject. A large wooden platform comes into view with people dotting the benches surrounding it. "Ah, here we are!" I say with fake enthusiasm. The park has a play from time to time. Today 's play, Shakespeare 's Romeo and Juliet. It 's very cliche, but anything to see Jesse. We usually laugh at the actors who over act or the director making his own changes, which turn out to be hilarious. I scan the crowd and notice a few people, all seemingly couples. We walk past them and find a bench …show more content…

Awhile back me and Jesse saw an actual play about Spider-Man. The shotty acting had us both laughing until it hurt. The webs were literally pieces of silly string no joke. "No possible way, you 're on!" As if on cue the makeshift curtains open revealing a man wearing incredibly tight pants and a loose green shirt. "Welcome fair folks to a play you will never forget". He quickly adds, "The tale of Romeo and Juliet"! After a dramatic pause he begins again. "Please turn off all cellular devices and the play will begin". Being a rebel, I put my phone on vibrate. Out of no where, Jesse whistles, causing me to cringe. "I wish I could fit pants that tight". What? I bite my tongue trying not to laugh. Don 't laugh it 's rude. Too late, I burst out laughing in the otherwise silent crowd. What did I just do! My face grows red and I sink lower in my seat. "It 's so cute when your embarrassed". I glare at her. She looks way too smug, I wish she didn 't tease me so much. "Shh" she whispers "the play is starting". "I wasn 't even talking" I whine. I pinch her side causing her to fall out of her seat. Jesse looks up at me embarrassed and

    On Sept. 1st, students from different corners of campus were all sprinting towards one common location: Ridgewood. It was, once again, that time of the year when Brandeis University’s four improvisational comedy groups perform for an audience of returning students and new first-year students in the annual Improv Comedy Showcase; a showcase that serves as a tidbit for first-year students of what the university has to offer. This year the show commenced with False Advertising, and it was followed on to Crowd Control, TBA and Bad Grammer, each group generally performed a series of long-form skits and short-form games that allowed them to demonstrate their compelling comic prowess. In addition, the performers were able to get everyone gleefully involved and engaged, often asking the audience for ingenious and witty ideas for them to use in the skits—although as the evening progressed, the air filled completely with wondrous ideas from

  • Suicide In Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet

    I think when Romeo and Juliet resort to suicide it is a very immature to do and definitely unhealthy for them and their relatives. It is very immature thing to say because it puts them and their family in a bad situation, because their family wants to assume they might commit suicide but when they say it enough times and do not do it then they end up not caring when they say it. It’s unhealthy for Romeo and Juliet’s mentally for them to keep saying it and actually might commit suicide. It’s unhealthy for their parents mentally because they keep stressing over whether they 're kids are going to commit suicide or not. After awhile of them saying their parents will not believe them but they both ended up killing themselves and their parents did

    Good afternoon everyone. Today I will be talking about how the cause of Romeo & Juliet’s death was caused by human actions. First of all I think this happened because of human actions. We can be even more literal, and say that their deaths are taken by their own hands. They have both committed suicide, ... the worst type of human action.

    A man who was completely innocent, offered himself as a sacrifice for the good of others, including his enemies, and became the ransom of the world , it was a perfect act”-Mahatma Gandhi. Sacrifice has a huge role not only in Romeo and Juliet, but also in history. The best example would definitely be the sacrifice given to us from God the Father. Sending his only son to come down to earth and die on the cross to save us from the sins we commit. People just don't always sacrifice because it is easy, sacrifice is something the is given up to benefit someone else.

  • Theme Of Sacrifice In Romeo And Juliet

    116 Words  | 1 Pages

    I chose the word “sacrifice” because it is demonstrated repeatedly throughout the story. Sacrifice is “the act of giving up something that you want to keep especially in order to get or do something else or to help someone”. Romeo sacrificed his safety. When the two first met, Romeo climbed his way into the Capulet’s territory, knowing that if he is caught, he can easily be killed. Juliet sacrificed her relationship with her family when she said that she would rather marry a Montague.

    The cast members seemed like they were part of the production themselves, which gave the audience a lifelike impression from them. Throughout the play I did not notice any obvious flaws that the cast members exhibited, which was really professional in my opinion and as a result, made the production more appealing to the audience. There was also breaking of the fourth wall, as demonstrated by Igor, where she asked one of the audience members if they have found a missing brain. During the Finale Ultimo, is where the cast members really broke the fourth wall, as they did a talent show with the main members of the cast, which involved the audience clapping at the end of each talent performed. It was during this scene where the main cast members brought out their tap dancing abilities, which was well received with a standing ovation at the end of the
