Realism and idealism; it is often hard to distinguish between them. However, failing to do so can result in consequences. A prime example of this are careers; many aspire to be actors, singers and models, but they fail to recognize the harshness and difficulty in obtaining them. These dreams are idealistic and do not coincide with the realities of our world. Similarly, in Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare shows the naivety of the whimsical love occurring between Romeo and his lover Juliet. Their idealism in love caused consequences, fatal consequences. Through false hopes and fantasies, Shakespeare has illustrates the figurative dream that occurs at night, the love between Romeo and Juliet and the awakening to the reality of hatred that is morning.
