What comes to mind when one thinks of love? The story of Romeo and Juliet is usually one of the first things, but most people think that this tragedy has a happy ending. No, The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet ends by the two star crossed lovers killing themselves out of love. The tragedy was written by William Shakespeare, who was well known for his use of figurative language in his many, many great works of literature. These types of language depict certain characteristics about characters in the play that normal language would not be able to accomplish. One of these characters is Mercutio, who talks in long, drawn out satire that is riddled with puns and metaphors, which create in one’s mind the image of one of the greatest characters of all time. Another one of these characters is Romeo himself, whose language shows him transforming throughout the play. His language, though, is of love. There are two types of love that Romeo experiences first hand: selfish, courtly love, and selfless, true love. In The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, Romeo’s language changes to reflect his development in the play from a selfish, courtly lover to a selfless, true lover of Juliet.…
