Dialectical Journal For Romeo And Juliet

Decent Essays
Incomplete: So far I have read that Romeo loved Rosaline, he kissed Juliet and they fell in love, they got married secretly, Tybalt killed Mercutio, Romeo killed Tybalt, Romeo was banished, and Juliet took a potion so she would appear dead and not have to marry Paris. I think a lot of people of many ages would enjoy Romeo and Juliet because it involves drama and romance. It is really interesting to already know what happens in the end but not know exactly how it happens. I would say this book is very hard because the old language they use is hard to understand, but we get a translation which makes it much easier.

If instead of rushing to war over a single offense, and patience and tact were employed—lives could be saved. “Unreasonable haste is the direct road to error,” wrote the famous French playwright Molière, one of Shakespeare’s contemporaries. The French playwright was well known for his comedies in the same way that Shakespeare is known for his tragedies. One of his most famous plays, Romeo and Juliet is oft called a tragedy of haste.…
