“...thus with a kiss I die.” as stated by Romeo in the famous William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. As much as people say girls are dramatic, Romeo is, by far, way worse. He over reacts and dramatizes each and every thing he does. Lord Capulet threatens Juliet because she refuses to marry a man she does not love. Clearly, males have a more dramatic impact on the audience in this play. Drama in life has a huge impact on people. Whether it is within friend groups, or not so friend groups or at home, or even purposely, like in a play or movie! It has emotional effects and can cause a lot of problems that create a better story line. This paper will explain how the male roles fill the story with drama, why readers may think Shakespeare created

It’s not very often someone meets a sensitive, emotional person. Shakespeare creates these roles to; a) create a stronger storyline with more action and b) to create characters that readers have either a stronger emotional connection or stronger feelings towards other characters. Drama plays a huge part in Romeo and Juliet. From the fights between the Capulets and the Montagues, to the Friars crazy million part plans, there probably isn’t a moment something or someone is over reacting. Romeo says, “Yet ‘banished’? Hang up philosophy! Unless philosophy can make a Juliet, displant a town, reverse a prince’s doom, it helps not, it prevails not. Talk no more.” (3.3.57-60). In these lines, Romeo is telling that he is so heartbroken by being banished and that unless philosophy -because the friar was giving philosophical advice- can make another Juliet, nothing is going to help his sad little heart. These lines also may cause a reader to feel as if Romeo is literally crushed because he cannot see his love anymore. The reader may feel pity, sympathy, or empathy towards Romeo and may be a little heartbroken with him. Paris, Juliet’s forced husband says, “Sweet flower, with flowers thy bridal bed I strew. O woe! Thy canopy is dust and stones. Which with sweet water nightly I will dew; or, wanting that, with tears distilled by moans. The obsequies that I for thee will keep. Nightly shall be to strew thy grave and weep.” (5.3.12-17). This beaut tells that Paris is leaving flowers on Juliet’s deathbed, even though we know she isn’t dead. In the earlier parts of the story, Juliet neither wants to marry Paris, nor does she want to marry anyone. She doesn’t love Paris because she barely knows him. That being said, readers must infer that Paris’ love for Juliet is because of her noble title, not because they love each other. He is mourning over her “death” and promises that he will spray perfume or lay flowers on her
