The narrative voices of male characters in several pieces of art, literature, and music are shown sharing their enthusiastic response of endearment to a woman that they love. “Michelle” was a song performed by Sir Paul McCartney in the White House for President Barack Obama and his wife, the song was written by John Lennon. In the song the main male character sings to the woman he loves. He sings to her to tell her how fond he is of her and how a normal “I love you” won’t do the job for how much he loves her. Very much similar to the song is The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet written by William Shakespeare.…

Intro: There are many themes in Romeo and Juliet. The theme I found the most important is that “love is tragic.” Love isn’t always tragic but in Romeo and Juliet it is. Paragraph 1: Some evidence I found to support my theme, was when Mercutio was explaining Queen Mab and what she does to people who love.…
All tragedy in the world could perhaps be avoided if there was less haste and more patience. 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.…
Have you ever loved someone your parents did not approve of? In the story Romeo and Juliet this is exactly what happened.

The decision that I found to be particularly hasty was Romeo's decision to commit suicide. I believe that this decision was impulsive and fueled by Romeo's emotions. It lead to not only his death but his lover Juliet as well. If Romeo had been more thoughtful instead of letting his grief and desperate thoughts overwhelm him, he could of created a different ending for the play, one not as tragic. Before Romeo made such a decision, he had been waiting for Friar Lawrence in Mantua to send him news of the uplifting sorts when Balthazar had told him that Juliet had died.…

Shakespeare's well-known play 'Romeo and Juliet' was modernised by Baz Luhrmann and made into a substandard film, that is relative to a modern audience. Baz has done this by changing selected setting's such as the petrol station fight, whilst also changing the costumes of the characters to be more modern and modifying the interpretation of the characters from the original play.

During the original play the fight is set in an old town square, Baz Luhrmann has changed…

Throughout the course of the year, we have practiced writing universal, debatable theme statements in the form of research assignments, paragraphs, and class discussions. Example 1: (Romeo and Juliet) The central message of the play is that hatred leads to tragedies. If there is detestation between at least one person in at least two different groups, all members of either group are prohibited from associating themselves with people from the other. However, two people from opposite sides may like each other, like Romeo and Juliet, and must find ways to interact secretly.…
