Death always tends to grasp people's attention, especially the deaths of children just like in Romeo and Juliet written by William Shakespeare. For the deaths of both Romeo and Juliet, the Families, Friar Lawrence, and Fate all played a part. First, the Capulet Family pushed Juliet to get married without considering how she felt, as well as Friar Lawrence, who planned for Juliet to fake her own death by giving her the potion. Although, they are only partially to blame, ultimately, Fate is the most to blame for both the children’s deaths due to Romeo and Juliet being destined to be together. Because of this, there is no way they could have avoided this tragic incident.…

’Perhaps the most obvious religious imagery in 'Romeo and Juliet' comes in Act I, Scene 5, when Romeo and Juliet meet at the ball at her home. This time it is obviously associated to Romeo’s second love, Juliet. They start to talk to each other about love, but they do so in very religious terms. Romeo: ‘If I profane with my unworthiest hand this holy shrine, the gentle fine is this: My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand.’ During this passage, Romeo compares Juliet to the statue of a saint, and himself to a religious pilgrim. I think this is a way of showing the reader that their love is pure and good and also that love is blind like faith. The whole conversation is an extended Christian metaphor and by using it Romeo ingeniously manages to convince Juliet to let him kiss her. Furthermore, he compares Juliet to an image of a saint that should be worshiped, a role that Juliet is willing to play. At the time this religious imagery…
This male domination is shown in the play through Lord Capulet's relationships between his wife, daughter and other members of his family. This patriarchal domination makes him very powerful and makes other characters in the play weaker by comparison. This power is very important in determining the outcome of the play. The portrayal of Lord Capulet's character, shows him as one who has the power to tell others what to do as well as having complete power over his household and what happens in his household. He expects his wife (Lady Capulet), daughter (Juliet) and his servants to do exactly as he tells them.…
Romeo and Juliet came to me when I was to marry them. At the time I knew of Romeo's banishment but I did not know what for. They looked so happy together. I believed that all would be well in Verona soon. But I was so very wrong. They love that Romeo and Juliet had for each other was overwhelming. When I married them I must say the lords light would have been shining upon them at that time. It was to be the last night Romeo would spend with Juliet in Verona. I was glad they were so happy together. Any more sadness in their lives could have been the end for them, but I felt saddened that Romeo had to leave so soon after the marriage.…

This scene begins with Romeo climbing up the wall into Juliet’s yard. Leaving Benvolio and Mercutio talking about Romeo’s infatuation with Rosaline. Romeo says to himself, “He jests at scars that never felt a wound” (2.2.1) referring to the fact that Mercutio can not doubt his love considering he has never felt love before. Then he begins his soliloquy announcing how beautiful Juliet is. He uses his eloquent speech to highlight his feelings for Juliet and show that his love for Rosaline has faded. Romeo is seen on multiple occasions using his poetic language, and this time is no different. He says that her beauty outshines the moon, and that her eyes are so bright they could replace the stars. If the stars were in her head, her bright cheeks…
This quotation is spoken by Mercutio to Romeo. Benvolio and Mercutio are trying to persuade Romeo to join them in a masquerade. Romeo is reluctant to to join them. He rather be alone with his love-sick misery about Rosaline not returning his love and Mercutio is trying to cheer up Romeo. This passage is significant because it shows Mercutio`s and Romeo`s deferring view of love. We see that Romeo is passionate, emotional, and embraces his sadness. He feels that love is rough because of his past experiences that dealt with love. On the other hand, Mercutio is practical, and thinks things thoroughly. “If love be rough with you, be rough with love: Prick love for pricking, and you beat love down”. This passage tells us that Mercutio believes that love can be controlled. Mercutio is basically saying that love can cause great pain, so you must take control over love. This statement also is personifying love of being rough with Romeo. He is telling Romeo that if love hurts him, he should hurt it back and defeat it. “Give me a case to put my visage in. A visor for a visor”! This statement tells us how Mercutio thinks he is an ugly person, thus asking for an ugly cover mask for an ugly face.…
Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare is a tragedy about two young lovers, whose passionate love is ended by the fated death of both parties. The sad conclusion of their young love is also caused by many others besides the protagonists Romeo and Juliet; some shall be pardoned; while some shall be punished. Juliet’s beloved mother-figure- the Nurse, does not deserve the audience’s scorn. Friar John, the Franciscan monk who plays a part in the death of Romeo, should also, be forgiven. Friar Laurence and Capulet, on the other hand, have many faults that contribute to the end results, of which I will discuss further.…
