Romeo And Juliet: The Ultimate Twist

Great Essays
While reading through the many plays that you all listed that we could focus our project on, I chose the play Romeo and Juliet because of the well written and articulated scenes while reading. I also chose to create my project on Romeo and Juliet because it is a tragedy play written about two opposite thrones (the Capulets and Montagues) in which they have a teen daughter and a teen son who both fall in love with each other with the thought of marriage, but in the end it is a ultimate twist. They both end up dead. Lastly, I chose Romeo and Juliet because I am at a practical age where we think we are in love and want to be with someone. As of now I am going through the same thing as Romeo and Juliet was, besides us being on a throne. My family …show more content…
There are plenty things people in Chicago, and not just Chicago but America try to do to obtain peace, but for teens reading about an ideal rational relationship would decrease it. Plenty of my friends now date the opposite of what they and their family is, which brings death and so much pain within both families. My Romeo and Juliet is an ideal figure for those who live in Chicago, even for me and my relationship. I have family who partake in the red side and my boyfriend’s family partake in the blue side. We both love each other, but it’s a bit odd when we come together because of that. Overall, I would love for my audience to gain the idea that love comes from many different backgrounds, and if your family member obtains that from the opposite, respect it. The goal is to end most stories with a triumphant end, instead of a tragedy which will lead to more to come in the future. The message is to create peace and decrease the amount of deaths we see and feel everyday due to many issues, not just relationship wise. Love makes great change within a society and most times it would take idealism to solve complex issues that America, Chicago and many other places face dealing with those type of

    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…

    Shakespeare illustrates the theme adults rarely know what is going on behind the scenes so they should listen when children say no. Juliet is already married to Romeo and her father wants her to marry Paris. She refuses because she already has her true love with her and father has no clue. “I tell thee what: get thee to church o’ Thursday... ”(Shakespeare,III.v.167-168).…

    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…

    Romeo And Juliet's Fates

    William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet is a provoking love story filled with suffering and tragedy. The star-crossed lovers were only partly responsible for their fates with surrounding influences such as Friar Laurence, the Nurse and Tybalt also leading them to their tragic fates. Romeo and Juliet were not entirely responsible for their fates even though they did make their own decisions and knew the consequences. From the beginning of the story, Romeo showed snippets of his fate with him attending the Capulet party in Act 1, Scene 6. If Romeo had followed the rules and had not gone to the party, he would not have met Juliet, saving both of their lives.…

    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.…

    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.…

    Shakespeare uses some relationships between characters, such as the relationships that Lady Capulet and the Nurse share with Juliet, to give social commentary on the Elizabethan society. He also used relationships to highlight his key themes, such as the relationship between Romeo and Juliet proving that true love is uncontrollable. The relationship between Lady Capulet and Juliet is used to show how family members tended to be distant from each other. This is shown in the utterance “what say you?…
