William Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet Sustain Their Passion?

Decent Essays
Would Romeo & Juliet have been able to sustain their passion? Of course not. It would have morphed into a more mature affection, or withered. It never got a chance to do either, not because of the young lovers, but because of the feud which separated their families.
Juliet is more mature than Romeo she proposes to him, not the other way around, and her love for him is her first but they don't fall in love to defy their families. They don't know the beloved is a member of the rival family when they fall. Love tends to be blind. People falling in love tend to be irrational and illogical. The love emotion takes over, thereafter nothing else matters.
Love can be destructive. Love, blind love, can ruin your life. Yes, some kind of love is blind

    It is clear that throughout the play Romeo and Juliet have little to no knowledge about each other therefore not only were they, strangers when they first met they remain strangers after. On the first day, they meet Romeo and Juliet know nothing about each other or their situations as evident by this quote, “ ‘What is her mother?’ ‘Marry bachelor, her mother is the lady of the house. And a good lady wise and virtuous I nursed her daughter that you talked withal. I tell you he that can lay hold of her shall have the chinks’ ‘Is she a Capulet?…

    In our society, this occurs too often and is somewhat culturally accepted. All of the actions, including the poor personal decision making, is stimulated by love and affects the actions of the individual that disturb their responsibilities and reputation built in society. “The Love Suicides at Amijima” reminds me of the time when I first fell in love. I was so distracted that I placed spending time with my partner above all else, even deceiving my loved ones in a effort to enjoy myself. I noticed my emotions were extremely high and caused me to act like I would normally not act.…

    Capulet should not have been charged for anything because he did not do anything wrong that would be worth charging him for. I believe that Capulet, Lady Capulet, Montague, and Lady Montague are the reason for Romeo and Juliet’s death. The family feud has all started because of the parents. That means Romeo and Juliet are supposed to be enemies but the two ended up falling in love. Neither one of the parents should be charged for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet, They did not physically kill them, it's what they verbally do to make them feel the way they did and made them kill themselves to be together forever.…

    Dissenting voices within Literature offer us challenges to existing values and beliefs within society. Romeo and Juliet, composed by William Shakespeare, is a poignant play which reflects on the defiance of a young individual against society’s boundaries. Shakespeare emphasises on the concept of love and sexuality throughout the play, as the principles of society obstructs the ability to experience a true and tender love. Furthermore, the play signifies the idea of searching for a genuine identity; as often, society’s constructions oppose one’s true self. Through the voice of Juliet within the play, the audience captures her change in character and beliefs as she confronts the implications of her society.…

    Romeo and Juliet are both immature, as shown by their interpretation of their love. They believe that their first love is who they are meant to be with, and the fall in love far too quickly, in Act 1 Scene 4. This scene shows immaturity because both of them believe they are deeply in love, when they only had one moment together. Romeo is especially immature, in that he forgets Rosaline so quickly, and moves on without realising his mistake of falling in love to quickly. This immaturity leads to the proclaiming of their love for one another on the balcony, and eventually their hasty marriage, in Act 2 Scene 2 and Act 2 Scene 6.…

    “Don't waste your love on somebody, who doesn't value it.” (Shakespeare Act 1 Scene 1). It is common for people in life to sometimes fall head over heels over somebody. People all too much will throw themselves at this person in hopes they will be caught. You can see this in the Lady or the Tiger.…

    In Conclusion, I think that Romeo is a young, inexperienced and impatient but loyal and brave boy. I think that his naivety plays a huge rule in this because love was taken as an extravagant feeling to have when it was not truly happy as the lovers can experience heartbreak and many other obstacles. It seems as if Romeo only more cautious and deliberate, his devastating ending could have been prevented (even though we have not finished the book yet). Amongst friends especially Mercutio, Romeo shows signs of his social and quick witted persona, even with his fond of verbal jousting that is mainly about sex. Lastly, Romeo is like every other male in the world who only unveils their true self to the people who they trust or who understand them.…

    People often have desires of wanting and needing something, but sometimes it can be difficult to do so because people prevent them from doing so. Society may think that they know what is best for you or judge you. It is better to follow your heart rather than society’s desires. In William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, Romeo and Juliet face the decision of choosing to follow their heart’s desire rather than obeying society’s rules. Following a heart’s desire is good, because it allows for Romeo and Juliet to not give up on their relationship to stay happy ,and get married.…
