Comparing Love And Death In Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet

Love, Death, and Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet Death is something that no one can avoid; eventually everyone must face it. But can it end a memory of a loved one, can it end the feelings held toward them? The majority of people in the world have needed to cope with losing a loved one to death, and that is something that is never simple to cope with, no matter the circumstances. However, people know that death doesn’t make them stop their feelings to those who have passed. Through a modern viewpoint and understanding of the play The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare one can discover that the mere mortality of humans cannot stop the everlasting bond that is love. Love can cause a person to take actions that he or she would not normally do, some even going as far as suicide and murder. During Act 5, scene 3, after Romeo opens Juliet’s tomb and is saying goodbye to her in preparation to commit suicide, he says that Juliet is his love and that nothing can take away her beauty, even death.

For example, when a loved one dies, his or her family buys them a very expensive casket, and a tombstone to mark their final resting place.. Some may even preserve their dead loved ones so that they may be brought back to life when the technology is capable. Many of these rituals take root in the belief of an afterlife, and taking care to ensure that they prosper in it. Also, after the passing of a loved one, many put on display pictures of their dead loved ones as a reminder of their love for them. In the end of Romeo and Juliet, the families of the two deceased lovers agree to make a golden statue of Juliet, and to bury the couple together so that they may be eternally together. These complex grieving rituals show clearly that it is only because people still care about their loved ones even after they pass
