Analysis of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare
William Shakespeare, the famous playwright wrote the well known play
Romeo And Juliet. The play was written over 400 years ago, but is
still much loved by its modern day audiences as it was by the
elizebethan audiences of shakespeare's time. Even though times have
changed drastically since the play was first written, its themes and
events are still relevent in todays society. Romeo and Juliet was
written in a way which gave it the power to entertain an audience.
Everybody could at least relate to one thing in the play, as the play
has many themes. The themes of the play were used to attract the
audience in many different ways. The themes which attract the most
attention are hatred, love and death. No matter how much society
changes, these three things will always remain. That is why i think
the people of today still relate to Romeo and Juliet as certain things
from the play are relevant in their everyday lives.
The play has a certain amount of mystery to it, the audience just
doesn't know what to expect next, there are happy times in the play
which are then followed by misery.
All of these things add together to create the atmosphere that the
play has, without the atmosphere there wouldn't be much of an
audience.
One of the main themes which runs all of the way through the play is
the feuding families. The families have a divide between them and
Romeo and Juliet cross that divide, willing to face any consequences
which might come their way. The families have total hatred toward
eachother, which is the negative side toward shakespeare's love story.
Without the family feud Romeo and Juliet would be able to live
happily, so i think Shakespeare included the negativity as an obstacle
for Romeo and Juliet, and to show that love doesn't always turn out
perfectly.
I think the Elizebethans, as well as modern audiences would have loved
to watch the fast moving fight scenes which are due to the family
