Juliet's Diary
Sunday
Today has been both amazing and terrible. Amazing because I have
fallen in love with a wonderful, handsome man yet terrible as he is a
Montague, my one enemy. Mother and father also wish me to marry Paris,
one of father friends. Dancing with him tonight he seemed to be very
charming. I am sure he is a lovely gentleman but I do not wish to
marry him. I have met a man who I do wish to marry, Romeo. He is
handsome and kind. We engaged in vows of love. He also wishes to marry
me. He is very romantic he said to me "My lips, two blushing pilgrims,
ready stand to smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss." I could
not help but fall for him. I met him tonight at my father's party.
Even our meeting was romantic our eyes met across the crowed party,
he's extremely attractive he made me feel like no man had ever made me
feel before. I've always believed in love at first sight, I'm so happy
that it's happened to me. Unfortunately our meeting at the party was
cut short. This is when I discovered my love was my enemy nurse told
me "His name is Romeo, and a Montague; the only son of your great
enemy". What does a name matter when you are in love? I would happily
give up my name and be married to him. My only love sprung from my
only hate! Earlier Romeo snuck into the garden and we met again. He
risked getting caught for me so I know he loves me as much as I love
him. He asked me to marry him just as I was about to leave. He said
"The exchange of thy love's faithful vow for mine." It wasn't the most
romantic way to be asked to marry someone but I couldn't refuse It's I
wanted. I'm worried about how my fathers going to react to my news. We
will have to get married in secret father would never let me marry
In Romeo and Juliet, the tragic love story, emotion is also surrounded with both the protagonists and brought themselves a tragic ending. Early in the story, Romeo and Juliet made an unacceptable forbidden decision which created a path towards their graves. After knowing themselves as the enemy of their household, the two teenagers yet fall in love with each other. Their idiotic actions of love have brought themselves a road to death at the end. Is unworthy to cost your life by your foolish decision. Furthermore, Romeo made another decision out of momentary anger and caused himself a disastrous problem. After Mercutio's death, out of anger Romeo duel with Tybalt and demands to slay him. After his revenge, he brought a death sentence on himself if he is ever found within the city again.
I can see the moon from here. She just came up over that building.(...) I’ve always loved the moon. I’ll even go out looking for her when she is not in sight. We read Romeo and Juliet in school last year and I was surprised and kind of mad when Juliet called the moon unreliable- “inconstant” she called it. I tried to start a discussion about it in class, but it didn’t really go over. Juliet seemed to be saying that since the moon was never in the same place from one night to the next that it was “inconstant”. I think she just liked to hear the sound of her own voice.
My poster represents the struggle Juliet experiences. I drew Juliet in this state because through most of the story, Juliet was upset because of many tragic events that occurred. Most of her whining was over Romeo. Specifically, the quote represents her lost love with him when he made too many hasty decisions. His decisions were the main reason why they died and Juliet has a difficult time recovering from his choices. This quote reflects her thoughts towards the beginning of the play about Romeo and that she should not rush into love with him so quickly. But she did and when everything goes wrong she probably feels regret. I also decided to draw her because as a teenage girl, I can somehow understand her predicament and I regret some
Many people think that society has changed so much over the years. That the way that children act, has taken a turn for the worst, but in reality children are learning from their ancestors. Children are lying to their parents, they are sneaking out at night to be with a boy that is “the one”, children are going back into the age of Shakespeare. In the play “Romeo and Juliet” which was written by William Shakespeare in 1597, there are two teenagers, Romeo and Juliet, who fall in love with each other. These two teenagers try to do everything that they can to live the rest of their lives together, except their families despise each other, so there is no way that they can live the rest of their lives together. So, many people believe that the way that our children are growing up today is taking away the fun parts of their childhood. However in this play Juliet did many of the things that teenagers are trying to do now. Children and sometimes adults now need to realize how your actions not only affect you but also the people around you, you also need to think about the consequences of the actions you make. At first Juliet falls in love at first sight with Romeo, then she takes a potion, which causes her family to think she is dead, and then how Friar Lawrence helps Juliet with the scheming, which shows how adults have to think about others as well.
many times to tell me the truth, but couldn’t as he felt it was the
In our society, love can be portrayed in thousands of ways. With simple things such as giving someone a hug or something more elaborate such as marriage. These things show are affection and love towards others, but it does not just end there. In Romeo and Juliet, as well as our society, we portray many different styles of love. These styles of love that I thought were portrayed well in Romeo and Juliet were physical love, emotional love, and paternal love.
Albert Camus points out that for some people, it is easier for them to take their own life, than it is to continue living an empty one. This is the case for the star-crossed lovers, Romeo, and Juliet, in William Shakespeare’s play, Romeo and Juliet. Although there were multiple contributing factors to the suicides of Romeo and Juliet, Friar Laurence is directly responsible for their deaths. He is responsible because he trusted someone other than himself to deliver the letter to Romeo, he gave Juliet the potion, and left when Romeo and Juliet were in danger at the tomb.
1. Romeo is so love struck that he compares Juliet to many things that show contrast to one another. For example he says that she stands out against the darkness like a jeweled earring hanging against the cheek of an African. “It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night like a rich jewel in an Ethiope’s ear.” He also says that she is like a white dove in the middle of a flock of crows; “So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows.” At this point it clear that Romeo has fallen out of love with Rosaline and fell deeply in love with Juliet.
In the book “Juliet” by Anne Fortier, the main character Julie Jacobs, also known as Giulietta Tolomei, undergoes a series of events that include character growth in the story. This includes Julie is allowing her twin sister Janice to be apart of her life again and becoming a better judge of character when debating Eva Maria, Umberto, and Janice. An example of this is when she continues to investigate what her past can tell her about what she needs to know or learn quickly. On page 211 of the book, Julie finds out that “Eva Maria had not been entirely right in saying that Giulietta Tolomei was my ancestor. For according to this document, we were all -- Mom, Janice, and me-- descended from Giulietta's sister, Giannozza, and her husband..” (Fortier
My journal entries on the book Romeo And Juliet focuses on many different topics. My entries include my general thoughts on the play, I included my thoughts of a character, and I compared the play to other things, like the movie version. But what I think my entries mostly focuses on, is my thoughts on the scenes. For example, in one of my entries, I talked about the scene when Paris is asking permission to marry Juliet. I like to focus on the scenes because I like expressing my feelings on what is happening in the play. I also like how I get to recap on what is happening in my own words, so that way I understand it better. What I learned from the characters from the journal is that the characters back then had different lives than from people now, because of the expectations back then. The expectations for people in modern time is really different from what the expectations would have been back then. I think that the expectations really shapes the characters because the expectations determine how they would act. For example, back then, the expectation for sex is to have it after you are married, but now people are not expected to do that, so they would be
Teenagers that are in love tend to be impulsive and bad at making decisions. In the play Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare, two star-crossed lovers from families that don’t get along have to go against their parents, so they can be together. The language that Shakespeare uses depicts the characters and shows that they are impulsive, which affects the outcome of the play.
The play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, the nurse is Juliet’s lower-class nurse. She is a loquacious, insolent trusting but yet dishonest character in the play. The only character that Juliet trusts and usually is seen cracking dirty jokes
The story, Romeo and Juliet carried a constant theme of love and death. William Shakespeare wrote this play with several different ideas in mind. He tried to have a romance story that still incorporated violence as well as comedy making a play that all classes of people would enjoy. He succeeded by making one of the most famous plays of all time.
