An Entry in Juliet’s Diary after Meeting Romeo at the Party
(remember, Juliet is just 14)
Dearest Diary,
Tonight I met him. He was so beautiful! He even has a name that would roll of one’s tongue….Romeo. How wonderful of a sound that brings to my ears. I wish, I hope, in fact, I know that he is my lord. The one and only lord that I want to have for my entire life. And, can you believe how amazing he is? Do you know what he did after the party tonight? He crept back onto the grounds of my father’s house and climbed up the side of the balcony to catch a glimpse of me. Oh, can you believe that!
The Nurse said that he was quite attractive too! Oh those eyes…those lips. I can’t believe how incredibly lucky I am to have met him. It was almost as if it was fate for the t...
Romeo and Juliet are committed to their love. There so committed that they got married the very next day they first met. The second time they met was on Juliet’s balcony by accident, because Romeo didn’t want to go home and he wanted to see Juliet again. They were talking for a few minutes and kissed each other many times, and Juliet said to Romeo, “If that thy bent of love be honorable, Thy purpose marriage, send me word tomorrow”(Act two, Scene two). Juliet tells Romeo if you you love me so much, the marry me tomorrow. Romeo without hesitation, agreed to marry Juliet the next day at the Church. Romeo and Juliet decide to marry at 9 o'clock in the morning. Later on, Romeo asks Faire ( a priest) to allow him and Juliet to marry. At
In Act IV, scene III of The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, Juliet is forced to make a decision; take a sleeping potion gifted to her by Friar Laurence and risk possibly being stuck in the Capulet family tomb, or marry Paris. To her, marrying Paris is not an option and so she drinks the vile. Although, before consuming the Friar’s remedy, Juliet expresses her worries in her soliloquy. To do this, Shakespeare manipulates imagery and the rhetorical device of questioning to reveal his main character’s deepest and darkest fears.
Since life is too complex to be classified into a single category, then why should a play imitating life be confined to a single genre? In the classic tale of two "star cross'd lovers", Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare dabbles with both the comic and tragic genres (Prologue, Line 6). The play starts in the traditional comic form but undergoes a transformation in Act III, Scene I. In this scene, the death of Mercutio, and consequential death of Tybalt, transform the play into a tragedy. With each death comes a change that alters the course of the rest of the play. Mercutio's death results in an inversion of the play's genre. Traditional comic elements are lifted only to be replaced by tragedy. The death of Tybalt constitutes another radical change in the play - this time in the plot. Before Tybalt's death, the ongoing feud between the Montagues and Capulets was nothing more than idle threats. The only character to take the quarrel beyond mere words was Tybalt. Ironically, his murder intensifies the feud and takes it to a whole new level. Also, Romeo's role in this scene propels the new genre of tragedy as he takes up the role of the tragic hero. This new role dooms both him and Juliet. Thus, the shifting genres in this scene set the course for the rest of the play.
To begin, Romeo says that he likes to be found dead for Juliet to kiss him and come back to life once again. For example, he says that he dreamt “...[his] lady came and found [him] dead / And breathed such life with kisses in my lips / That I revived and was an emperor” (V.i.6,8-9) in which was particularly located in Mantua. This quote is essential because it shows the audience that Romeo thinks that himself is a positive thing in his dream. Furthermore, he feels that this would mean that something splendid is going to occur. In conclusion, Romeo desires to be dead so that Juliet would come to kiss him and bring him back alive. Specifically, Romeo truly has kept his promises to Juliet in William Shakespeare’s novel Romeo and Juliet. As an

Over the course of Act III, Juliet’s state of mind transforms from naïve and innocent to impulsive and independent due to the aspects of loyalty, love and maturity. Although conflicts begin to unfold, Juliet, despite the loss of her cousin Tybalt, remains faithful and honest to her newly wedded husband, Romeo. Juliet lived in a rather obedient lifestyle, as she was growing up – obeying her parent’s orders and everybody’s expectations, but as her affections towards Romeo continues to flourish, so does she as an independent human being.
Overwhelmed with the implications of her current situation, and the steps she must undertake, Juliet’s letter to Romeo would contain details regarding the events following his exile, which ultimately have her seeking refuge under Friar Lawrence. We must also acknowledge that, Act 4 Scene 1 occurs on the very day that Capulet threatened Juliet with disownment, placing her in deep disparity. This distress could potentially cloud her thoughts, leading her to reveal details regarding her arranged marriage to Paris, which would raise concern about her loyalty to Romeo. However, this logically would be followed up by an explanation of Friar Lawrence’s plan to reunite the two, in which she may reveal her uneasiness of
Everyone has kept a secret, some minor, some major, and some that may have caused terrible things to happen. Secrets don’t always lead to tragedy, but in some cases they can turn someone's world upside down. This is shown in the story “Romeo and Juliet” by William Shakespeare. In the story Romeo and Juliet having a secret marriage; and as a result Romeo is banished, and the deaths of Mercutio, Tybalt, Paris, Romeo, and Juliet occur. All of this happens due to one secret,

In some cases, “dawn” is a representation for a minute of mindfulness when reality gets to be self evident. The two sources react verbally, such that gives a moment of clarity to one. Romeo and Juliet (Act 3 Scene 5 Lines 1-64) is a short excerpt from the play Romeo and Juliet written by William Shakespeare, published in 1597. In the excerpt, Juliet has a moment of clarity that only gives her more sadness. “Summertime Sadness” is a song by an American singer and songwriter Lana Del Rey from her second studio album, “Born to Die”, in 2012. In her famous song, it demonstrates the dawning of awareness by being fearless. Considering the two sources react verbally, such that gives a moment of clarity to one, we can conclude that the moment of clarity gives a strong impact of that instance and often discovers a still
In the story “The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet” I feel it really isn’t romance at all, it’s more so a tragedy. He was going after Rosaline and she said no, but then he saw Juliet and thought she was attractive and as did she. Neither of them really had a connection, they just thought one another was cute and Romeo wanted her to give head. She wanted to have sex with Romeo because her dad brought up in the beginning that she was a virgin and most people her age were not. So as I had said before they didn’t really have a connection, they just thought each other was cute. The quote, “O serpent heart hid with a flowering face! Did ever dragon keep so fair a cave? Beautiful tyrant!” This shows that she thought that he was a handsome man and that
Would you die for your true love? Both Romeo and Juliet did. They were so in love with each other that they both committed suicide for the other. Can we really blame them for dying so young? In WIlliam Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, Friar Lawrence is most responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet.

Upon consideration of Act 2 Scene 2 of The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, the balcony scene, Shakespeare delivers a message about the decisions people make with the world against them. William Shakespeare wrote the play The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. In Scene 2 Act 2 of this play, Romeo hears Juliet confess that she will become a Montague in order to be with Romeo. Romeo, upon hearing this, reveals himself to Juliet and states that he will become a Capulet in order to be with her. Being in love with the world against them forces a couple to abandon the world they live in to be together. Romeo overhears Juliet confess, “O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name;... ‘Tis but thy name that is my enemy.” (The
