    1.Romeo notices that Juliet's “lips”(5.2 Line 95) and her “cheeks”(5.2 Line 95) don't look “pale”(5.2 Line 96) and she still looks beautiful as she was.

    In a tragedy, the tragic hero is the protagonist that the author uses to give his/ her point of view on the inappropriate tendencies of humans. The tragic hero ultimately causes his own suffering because of basic human characteristics, but through the hero’s defeat, humanity is validated and is proved to have a better outlook. Three main theories of the tragic hero are the Aristotelian model, the Shakespearean model, and the modern tragic hero. Each model has five defining characteristics, which are nobility, hamartia, downfall, anagnorisis, and suffering.…

    Love is something that cannot be forced, something that cannot be forced. True love is not made by us, it is made by G-d. You can’t rush it and try to force love by loving a girl for her looks and not for who she is. This can ruin relationships and even lives. In the play The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet written by William Shakespeare, Romeo loves Rosaline in the beginning, but as soon as he sees Juliet he falls in love with her, Romeo loves her for her beauty. He hardly knows her.…

    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.…

    The period of Queen Elizabeth I’s reign is often regarded as the golden age of English history. This Elizabethan renaissance led to much development in literature and theater, including the emergence of playwright William Shakespeare, whose works continue to be analyzed in the twenty-first century. Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet is a timeless tale of lust, love, and heartbreak, taking place in Verona, Italy during the Elizabethan era. Though arguably unrealistic, the play’s depiction of the power of love, through both life and death, has captivated readers for centuries. The eloquence of the Montagues and Capulets’ strife is taught in classrooms around the world.…

    For the Romeo and Juliet Creative Project I decided it would be best to do it in a tabloid style. I have always been fascinated by Tabloids, you see them everywhere even on facebook. Tabloids is a type of journalism normally about gossip and crime. I thought Tabloid would be the best choice for this creative project because the scene I am writing about is the first scene in Romeo and Juliet where the Montagues and the Capulets were fighting each other in the Market. This is the best way to represent this scene because a brawl is basicly a crime and the montague and capulet are well known in Verona.…

    "In fair Verona, two star cross'd lovers... took their lives!", Is that destructive? The conflict in 'Romeo and Juliet' (R&J) by William Shakespeare, any version or variant, clearly displays and purposely highlights the pure destructive power of conflict; I would even go as far if not further to debate that conflict has been conveyed as nothing other than the monstrous result of humans incompatible emotions and opinions! Many forms of conflict have severely affected the characters from R&J usually leaving them with extreme, negative feelings such as despair or anger. Unfortunately, for Romeo Montague, Juliet Capulet, Tybalt Capulet and Mercutio (Last name unknown) are only entailed by death. Two broad categories of conflict that can easily…

    It took another day of travel before they arrive at the next frontier of Hell. Juliet can see buildings erupting from the slick oil spill of an ocean, and smog hanging low over the daunting infernal mess. The sky is a soupy grey, smoke billowing over the city’s spires as shrill screams echo within their crumbling walls. It’s kind of horrifying to look at, but Juliet can feel that Romeo is here, so she dredges up all her courage and carries on toward it.…
