    In the 16th century tragedy, Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare uses metaphor and diction, aimed at Tybalt and the 2 families, to reveal Mercutio’s own negative tone/attitude behind his outlook on those whom he had blamed for his death. For example, after Mercutio had been fatally struck from a sword blow by Tybalt in swords dual, Mercutio realizes he is going to die from being stabbed by Tybalt, and says “ I am peppered, I warrant, for this world. A plague o' both your houses! Zounds, a dog, a rat, a mouse, a cat to scratch a man to death! A braggart, a rogue, a villain that fights by the book of arithmetic!”…

    There are many people you could blame for the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, but one might also say the two households are responsible for the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. An example of how the capulets play a part in this is when lady capulet says “Marry that ‘marry’ is the very theme I came to talk of. Tell me, daughter Juliet, how stands your disposition to get married”(Line fourteen, Act one Scene three, and Document B), the person one would blame in this quote would be the families(Capulet). This shows Lady Capulet is trying to pressure Juliet into getting married. Even after juliet says that she does not want to get married, her mother keeps pushing her into getting married by asking if she can “like of Paris’ love”( Line twenty four, Act…

    Mahatma Gandhi once famously said, “A man is but the product of his thoughts; what he thinks, he becomes.” Without rationally thinking through all choices and consequences, one can possibly become stuck in the outcomes of those decisions. Throughout the play, Romeo and Juliet made many judgements impulsively. Romeo and Juliet’s decision to pursue their relationship despite its forbidden and reckless nature demonstrates the destructiveness of their impulses. Romeo and Juliet have only recently met for the first time, but despite this, they proclaim their rash love quickly and suddenly.…

Yet dark hatred can lead to even worse. Such intense contradiction is made clear in William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Shakespeare’s use of binaries reveals that humans should find moderation between love and hate.…

    In Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare portrays Romeo as melodramatic which ultimately leads to Romeo’s downfall by having all of his actions illogically ruled by emotion. Romeo is the son of the Montague family, a wealthy and powerful family in Verona, Italy, that has a violent feud with another, similar family, the Capulets. In the beginning of the play, Romeo is in love with a girl named Rosaline who does not return his affections, so Romeo becomes depressed and shuts himself away from other people. Romeo is then persuaded to attend a party at the Capulet house where he sees Juliet, the Capulet's’ daughter, and immediately falls in love with her without knowing anything about her. Romeo, being melodramatic, says, “Did my heart love till now?…

    In Romeo and Juliet, many of the young characters were disobedient to recognized authorities. In all of the cases presented in the play, the youth faced some sort of punishment or payback for their disobedience. This makes a statement about the importance of an elder’s authority and that they are people who should be obeyed. The fact that every young character in the play who disobeyed an authority had to pay retribution for their act, shows the stupidity of youth’s decision making processes and reiterates the fact that adults usually know better. In Romeo and Juliet, Romeo, Juliet, Tybalt, and Mercutio were young characters who were rebellious to authority and…

    This is not unlike Greek theatre where actors used exaggerated gestures and dialogue to express the feelings of their characters. This production was held in an area where the audience surrounded the performers which meant that at any given time during the performance their back was to at least two sections of the audience.

    The Importance of Setting and Context in Romeo and Juliet In spite of the fact that Romeo and Juliet is ostensibly the most original romantic tale in the English language, it depicts just a particular sort of affection: youthful, nonsensical, enthusiastic love. In the play, Shakespeare eventually suggests that the sort of affection that Romeo and Juliet feel drives lovers to institute a selfish segregation from their general surroundings. Romeo and Juliet shun their duties to any other individual, acting benevolently just towards each other. Sexuality pervades the play, both through indelicate jokes and in the way that Romeo and Juliet foresee fulfilling their marriage, however it doesn 't characterize their affection.…
