Romeo and Juliet is a play about Romeo and Juliet fall in love with each other, getting married, then they die at the end of the play. They die at the end of the play by trying to keep their marriage. The characters Romeo, Juliet, and Friar are all responsible for the death of Romeo and Juliet. They are responsible because Juliet and Friar tried to set up a fake death so Juliet didn’t have to be Paris’s wife. The plan went wrong and Romeo thought Juliet was really dead, so he killed himself because he loved Juliet. After Juliet saw that Romeo was dead, she killed herself to be with Romeo.
William Shakespeare once said, “Death is a fearful thing”. This does not relate to the play Romeo and Juliet because they are willing to take risks that jeopardize their life. Juliet and Romeo are fine with taking their lives for each other because they are willing to do anything for each other. In the play, Romeo and Juliet are in love, but they have problems with their families having a feud with one another. They try to overcome their families hating each other, however, they cannot overcome it and eventually they die because of the feud. The people in the play take many risks because of love for each other.
In The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet,Romeo and Juliet were two very similar people by the way they acted to even the way their families acted. They both get treated the same way by their parents, they both were not honest, and even their families acted the same way.
In Warm Bodies, the only true bad from the love between R and Julie is that the bonies decided to start attacking the humans and zombies. In Romeo and Juliet, it leads to the deaths of many, and even more hate between the families. Warm Bodies also tells nothing of the theme that is timing. In Romeo and Juliet, the theme of timing is evident because of the letter that was just missed, Juliet waking up right after Romeo had committed suicide, and Paris planning to marry Juliet right after she was married to Romeo. Another difference in theme is that in Warm Bodies the humans and zombies come together, but in Romeo and Juliet the families never
In the both stories the conflicts between the families have been going on for many years, the main characters make peace, and the characters die before they can tell their families. The similarities and differences in Romeo and Juliet and The Interlopers help the theme that hatred causes tragedy and violence. In both stories the characters tried to make peace, but death do all part, until families realize and make
William Shakespeare 's iconic play “Romeo and Juliet” is commonly misinterpreted as a love story instead of the tragic tale of star-crossed lovers filled with death and sorrow. Throughout the play, a total of six characters will die including Romeo and Juliet. Lady Montague died of a heart attack and Mercutio, Tybalt, and Paris were murdered. Romeo and Juliet committed suicide but their deaths were not their faults. Although Romeo and Juliet took their own lives, brain development is actual cause of death in Romeo and Juliet.
“What’s here? A cup, closed in my true love’s hand? Poison, I see, hath been his timeless end. O churl, drunk all, and left no friendly drop To help me after? I will kiss thy lips. Haply some poison yet doth hang on them, To make me die with a restorative (kisses ROMEO) Thy lips are warm.”(a5,s3). Romeo and Juliet loved each other. If one of them died the other had to be dead with them. Romeo was the one who died. Juliet killed herself to show that she truly loved Romeo and would be with him forever, alive or dead. Second, this theme is also seen when Paris is killed by Romeo and he wanted to lay next the “dead” Juliet. “(falls) Oh, I am slain! If thou be merciful, Open the tomb. Lay me with Juliet.”(a5,s3). Paris loved Juliet but he was not aware that she was in love with Romeo. Paris knew he was on the verge of dying and he wanted to lay next to Juliet's unconscious body to show his love for Juliet. As shown above, in Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, people we come to love will die someday is a theme seen throughout the
The play Romeo and Juliet written by William Shakespeare has been taught in school for many years now. Some say that we should continue to allow our teens to read this tragic love story, while many argue that this play should no longer be allowed in schools. The issues concerning this tragic love story are the inappropriate jokes, the unrealistic view of love, and the promotion of suicide. These issues will indeed prove why Romeo and Juliet is ill suited to be taught to freshmen.
Romeo and Juliet is a love story written by William Shakespeare with a tragic ending. It is about a boy and a girl that are star crossed lovers. They are separated by two families that do not get along. Unfortunately at the end of the story both Romeo and Juliet commit suicide because their love is forbidden because of the feud. Many believe it is Romeo and Juliet’s fault for their own deaths, but there is more evidence that supports that the feud is the blame. The feud is to blame for the tragedy because it forced them to keep secrets, it caused them to come up with dangerous plans to avoid getting caught, and it set the storyline by causing lots of deaths.
The character Romeo Montague in Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, makes many poor decisions, specifically, when he kills Tybalt in an enthralling duel and later takes his life to be with Juliet Capulet. After Tybalt kills Romeo’s best friend, Mercutio, Romeo assumes personal responsibility to avenge his death by brutally killing Tybalt in a swordfight. Due to disrupting the streets of Verona, Romeo’s punishment made by Prince Escalus is banishment. Romeo then hides in Friar Laurence’s cell and threatens to commit suicide because he feels there is no world without the Verona walls. For instance, Romeo states, “Then “banishèd,”/ Is death mistermed. Calling death “banishèd,” Thou cutt’st my head off with a golden ax / And smilest upon the stroke that murders me” (Shakespeare 3.1.20-23). However, if Romeo had
The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare has toyed with the emotions of its audience members for centuries. The play’s main characters, Romeo and Juliet, love one another in spite of the feud between their families and later on, in the wallows of grief, each take their own life. While the characters both meet their end tragically, it was their choices that realistically led them down that path. The cause of the two “star-crossed lovers” final end is not due to fate or destiny, but by their own foolish hands.
It is a controversial topic whether youth is capable of handling a mature love. Romeo and Juliet, written by William Shakespeare by 1595, epitomizes this common topic. The main characters of the play are two teenagers who fall in love at the first sight, however, the hatred between the families of the two leads to their death in the end. In the adaptation of Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo and Juliet in 1996, Romeo and Juliet are portrayed more mature than in that of Baz Luhrmann in 1968. This can be evident in three aspects: the styles of the acting of the actors, the reaction of Juliet after learning about the death of Tybalt, and the setting of certain scenes.
In Romeo and Juliet, the two main characters kill themselves. In Chicago runaway teens the two kids do not kill themselves instead they run away and hide. The story of Romeo and Juliet is much different from the article Chicago Runaway Teens. “Thus with a kiss I die”(5.3.120). In this quote from Romeo and Juliet, the reader learns that Romeo has now killed himself and following him killing himself Juliet kills herself. In the article Chicago Runaway Teens they do not kill themselves, instead, they steal the mom’s black SUV and they drive all the way from Michigan to Chicago with 80$ and a couple of things that they could sell. In an interview with the girl’s mom, she says “Their six-month relationship was too serious”(Quigley). The kid's relationship had been going on for six months compared to Romeo and Juliet’s relationship that had been going on for two days. The relationship of the teens was much more serious they had been going out for a long time and Romeo and Juliet had been going out for two days and had already gotten married. They lived in a car together for nearly two

Romeo and Juliet is a play written by William Shakespeare, originally published in 1597. It is a tragedy of two star-crossed lovers, who fall in love with each other despite their families hate. The play is taught in many schools and it is often coupled with a movie adaption of the play. There have been many movie adaptations of Romeo and Juliet done and yet there are only a few out of the five I have watched that I would recommend. The top one that I would recommend is the 1968 version, directed by Franco Zeffirelli.
