JULIET: If they do see thee, they will murder thee. ROMEO: Alack, there lies more peril in thine eye Than twenty of their swords: look thou but sweet, And I am proof against their enmity. This quote is taken from the balcony scene when Romeo is proclaiming to a girl he meant only hours ago, that he doesn’t care if his life is taken by the Capulets because he is so madly in love with…

montague influenced the death of Romeo and Juliet. The families could not get along because of a feud from many generations ago. A quote that supports my strongest point is on and the quote is “O Romeo Romeo! Where for art thou romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name; or, or if thou will not, be but sworn my love, and i'll no longer be a Capulet”(2.3.65-80). In that quote juliet is wishing that she was no longer a Capulet and was a Montague so she could be with her romeo. This quote improves…

like Caesar’s ghost was an external force, even though he knew that the ghost of Caesar was just a visual representation of his own guilt towards assassinating Caesar. This behavior is shown in the following quote by Brutus: “Now I have taken heart thou vanishest. Ill spirit, I would hold more talk with thee. —Boy, Lucius!—Varrus!—Claudio!—Sirs, awake! —Claudio!” (Act IV, iii, Lines 293 – 295). Regardless of the fact that he was fearful of his future, to the point of having strange dreams about…

The Comedy of Errors In William Shakespeare's The Comedy of Errors a question that is raised throughout the whole play is weather the play is considered farce or romance.

Throughout the play both farce the genre…

much of the morals our society has come to codify has a basis in both the Old and New Testament. For example, the ten tablets contain such commandments as "thou shalt not kill" and "thou shalt not steal." Both are lessons ingrained in most children, provided they do not have atypical homes and/or guardians.…

laws. As Romeo convinces the poor apothecary to sell him the toxin his true intentions are revealed: “There is thy gold-worse poison to men’s souls, / Doing more murder in this loathsome world, / Than these poor compounds that thou mayst not sell. / I sell thee poison; thou hast sold me none. / Farewell. Buy food and thyself in flesh. / Come, cordial and not poison, go with me / To Juliet’s grave, for there must I use thee.” (5.1.80) His behavior is the effect of the early developed limbic…

“Thane of Coward!”, and predict that he “shall be king hereafter!” (17). However, when Banquo asks of his own fortune they reply paradoxically, saying that he would be “lesser than Macbeth and greater. Not so happy, yet much happier. Thou shalt get kings, though thou be none.” (19). The witches’ prophecies foreshadow the series of events that take place throughout the rest of the play which ultimately lead…

When interpreting A Midsummer Night’s Dream by William Shakespeare, it is undeniably evident that this play was intended to be performed and elucidated in a comical way, and goes about this through the use of one prominent element- Suspension of Natural Laws. As we all know, Shakespeare is known as one of the most influential English writers and poets in history. This claim is supported specifically by his unique and significant plays created during his time, along with his pivotal production…
