    This line said in Juliet's monologue could be interpreted as "Oh, Romeo, Romeo, where is Romeo?" by directly summarizing, but in context in the play, which becomes apparent with analyzing and synthesizing, it's translated to "Oh, Romeo, Romeo, why do you have to be Romeo?" This also evidently proves how the Shakespeare sharpens many skills used by high schoolers on a daily basis, based on how most lines will require them to use and practice these skills when reading the…

    I choose to discuss how Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet convey particular characters, places, or events? From the moment the piece started, I could hear two distinctive themes throughout the song. The two themes that I noticed the pieces had was a love and a feud theme. Throughout the piece, you can tell when certain characters or events are happening. For example, when the music is light happy and calm sounding you can assume a happy or romantic part is coming up or about to happen.…

    I feel that Act 1, Scene 5 is particularly effective for showing the main themes of love and hate. By having the first meeting of the “star- crossed lovers” juxtaposed with the hate and fury of Tybalt who tells Capulet he will “not endure him” (Romeo) shows that both love and hate co-exist but either can present a danger to the other. Shakespeare uses both the feud and the love between Romeo and Juliet to show that other people’s emotions cannot cause others to felt he same. This is shown through out the play, just because the Capulet…
