William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet The play ‘Romeo and Juliet’ may be considered to significant relevance when comparing the impact it made to entertainment in 1604 in comparison to entertainment today. The play ‘Romeo and Juliet’ is as relevant today as it was nearly four centuries ago. ‘Romeo and Juliet’, is a story of two young lovers, whose love was destined for destruction. They did not imagine that their love would lead to the tragedies that it did. These two young individuals did nothing wrong except fall in love. The play encompasses love, hatred and death; Shakespeare depicts that love is a major thing in the human life and it can completely change the way you think and act, it also can create a new beginning and end one by causing death, as shown at the end of the play. In modern day time love still has all these affects that are shown by Shakespeare in this play. This play represents love which is equivalent to how young people fall in love today. Romeo sees Juliet for the first time and he falls in love immediately; this is relevant as this still happens to this date. Similarly if a youth of today was to see a beautiful girl he would supposedly fall in love with this is shown when Romeo believes he is in love with Rosaline; “To call hers, exquisite, in question more. These happy masks that kiss fair ladies’ brow, being black, puts us in mind they hided the fair. He that is stricken blind cannot forget the precious treasure of his eyesight lost. Show me a mistress that is passing fair; what doth her beauty serves but as a note where I may read who passed the passing fair? Farewell. Thou canst not teach me to forget.” Romeo here says he is deeply in love with Rosaline and cannot forget about her but a few scenes later his love quickly changes: “O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright! It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night as a rich

Romeo and Juliet Although Romeo and Juliet become inextricably smitten with one another, they both enter into the relationship from different perspectives. Their love is strong, but each has their reasons for the intensity of their love. Romeo has just come out of another ?crush?. He has liked Rosaline for quite awhile, but things do not work out because the feelings are not mutual. Romeo sees that Juliet is a beautiful lady that he falls in love with right away, while he attends the Capulet Party. Juliet also instantly falls in love with Romeo, but it could be more of an escape for her.
“He who falls in love meets a worse fate than he who falls from a

William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet `Romeo and Juliet` is one of the best love stories of all time but although Shakespeare wrote the play, the story wasn't original. It all started hundreds of years before Shakespeare was born, in Italy when myths and folktales travelled about two young lovers from enemy families. After that, a poem was written called `The tragical history of Romeus and Juliet` by Arthur Brooke in 1562. So although Shakespeare's ideas weren't original, he has developed the basic ideas so well that now the whole world are familiar with the deeply touching love story of `Romeo and Juliet`.
“Feather of lead, bright smoke, cold fire, sick health, still-waking sleep, that is not what this is” (Shakespeare 1.1. 179-180). A string of contradictions explain the love story of Romeo and Juliet, a contradiction. Some critics consider this story a tragedy because Shakespeare once wrote; “the fault is not in our stars but in ourselves”. While others say it does not follow the standard Aristotelian form of tragedy (Krims 1). Romeo and Juliet can not be a tragedy because no flaw causes them to fall, the lovers, could not have controlled fate, and family and friends assisted them to their deaths.
... the first monster. Yet, when he had lost those who were dear to him, he had nothing to motivate him further than to destroy the monster. What had begun as a scientific discovery soon became a dangerous force that the creator could no longer control. Now the consequences of his failure would surpass trial and error, and end in an irreversible struggle between himself, guilt, fate, and death.

Nevertheless, Victor chose to keep his knowledge of his own doing a secret and watched in guilt as many people, including his own family, died. Victor’s ignorance becomes the
...a cycle. They believe that birth isn’t necessarily the beginning and that death is definitely not the end. In fact, they believe that in order to start a life one has to die. This is similar to Chayo and Marta. Marta and Chayo are not on speaking terms for several years. Chayo is mad at her sister because went to the El Brujo to have her sisters unborn child dead. After many years of avoiding each other, Chayo finally gives forgives her sister and welcomes her back into her life. “For Marta, Richard’s death was not an end, but instead the new beginning to her life with her sister.
