Love, it is what drives us as humans. Full of passion and full of randomness, almost like a Pandora’s Box. Never knowing what could happen or what is happening. In Shakespearean plays, Love is generalized as being a tragic ending to two lovers especially in his tragedy plays, but Love can also conquer all and all who oppose such, like in his comedic play. The three generalizations we can make from Love is that, Love conquers all, Love can cause tragedy of victims to its ruthlessness, and that…

quarantined because he has been "in a house / Where the infectious pestilence did reign [. . .]" (Shakespeare 5.2). In the movie, the message from Friar Lawrence to Romeo is sent through a delivery service called "poste haste." The message is "blown away in the dust-laden wind" (Downing 5). In both the play and the movie, Balthasar goes to Mantua to tell Romeo that Juliet is "laid low in her kindred's vault" (Shakespeare 5.1). Balthasar is unaware of the fake suicide and believes that Juliet is…

Romeo’s heart was torn into pieces by Rosaline as she didn’t feel the love he felt for her, “she’ll not be hit with cupids arrow”. By Romeo using such depressing language to portray how upset and down he is shows the passion he had for Rosaline, “ sad hours seem long”. Romeo also uses oxymoron’s to describe how grieved and hurt he feels, “ I live dead”, O loving hate”. This reveals how confused Romeo feels as the unreciprocated love has made him feel shut down, “ I have a soul of lead”. Romeo…

intertwined by the theme of love. In the stories, love is out of balance and asymmetrical among four young Athenians. Although the main conflict of this play stems from relationships, Shakespeare shows the real tragedy is not being loved. Through the three main female characters (Helena, Hermia, and Titania), Shakespeare engages the notion of beauty and fairness to demonstrate the subjectiveness of love. Shakespeare uses Helena’s situation to demonstrate the subjectiveness of love. Helena, a…

In the play “A Midsummer’s Night Dream” written by William Shakespeare, all the lovers are swapped around exceedingly that they seem almost interchangeable. The similarities and confusion of love between characters causes love itself to seem like an illusion. The characters should have been clearly distinguished to make the play comprehensive, therefore, characters are not wrongly identified. Shakespeare should have used a technique in which the audience would be able to make not only…

Throughout his plays, Shakespeare uses figurative language to depict a greater message than what is simply read. Love is a reoccurring theme throughout Shakespeare’s play A Midsummer Night’s Dream and although this play deals with romance, it is not a typical love story like others we are familiar with. Love is believed to be a passionate experience that brings happiness into the lives of those involved; however, Shakespeare writes a satire on this thought in A Midsummer Night’s Dream. He…

Separated by three hundred years, Millay and Shakespeare bring to light opposing ideas on love’s effect on the human condition. “What lips my lips have kissed, and where, and why” by Edna St. Vincent Millay and “Sonnet 18” by William Shakespeare investigate erotic and platonic love in a similar yet contrasting manner. Millay’s poem explores personal grief when passionate love wanes with age. Shakespeare’s poem, on the other hand, depicts platonic love for a friend who, to the narrator, is the…
