Comparing Ernest Hemingway's The Tragedy Of Romeo And Juliet

Improved Essays
Ernest Hemingway once said “Every man’s life ends the same way. It is only the details of how he lived and how he died that distinguish one man from another.” This quote by Mr. Hemingway makes us realize that enemies are the same but their details distinguish them. This is like William Shakespeare’s play, The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet because their families were enemies, but Romeo and Juliet had strong bonds in their lives that distinguished them and made them love each other. William Shakespeare was an English poet, playwright, and actor who was most widely known for his work on The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. At the end of the play, Romeo and Juliet both end up dying. This may have been unpreventable, but maybe it was someone's fault. …show more content…
However the Prince had no other choice because if he hadn’t exiled Romeo then the Capulets would have been upset with the Prince. But because he did exile Romeo, the Capulets were not upset with him and neither were the Montagues, however very upset with the exile, upset with the Prince. The Prince had no other choice. “Else, when he is found, that hour is his last/Bear hence this body, and attend our will/Mercy but murders, pardoning those that kill.”(III.I.188-190). This is the Prince deciding to exile him because his death would upset one family while doing nothing would upset the other. The only fair thing to do would be to exile him. The prince had no choice because he had to be fair. In the end, the Prince had nothing to do with the deaths of Romeo and Juliet because he could not do anything else.
Although Romeo and Juliet's deaths may have already been written in the stars, someone had to have caused their deaths. Romeo is most responsible for his and Juliet's deaths because he killed Tybalt, challenged fate, and made rash decisions which ultimately led to his and Juliet's death. William Shakespeare was a famous English writer who had a huge influence in English life. His play The tragedy of Romeo and Juliet was one of his most famous works and displays that even if you’re families are enemies you’re choices can change you and make you love one

    In both literature and song, sometimes male’s will express their love to a female in an enthusiastic method. The song “Michelle” by Sir Paul McCartney and lines 44-53 from an excerpt of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare both converge to give insight into the male brain and their expression of emotion. The song “Michelle” exhibits imagery of a French man yearning to express his love, but being oblivious to a form of expression. In response, the man uses verbal gestures to communicate with her in the most noble way he can. Likewise, Romeo and Juliet expresses a character named Romeo that deeply wants to convey his love for Juliet, but being dumbfounded and incapable of anything other than words.…
