plays is titled The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. In this tragedy, the concept that is discussed and portrayed through the characters is love, as they are recognized as being “in love”. The general umbrella of love encompasses various kinds of love such as romantic love, the love of a parent for a child, love of one’s country, and several others. What is common to all love is this: Your own well-being is tied up with that of someone (or something) you love… When love is not present, changes in other
the classic Romeo and Juliet would turn out if their families just agreed to meet over a cup of coffee and talk about Juliet and her Romeo. Would their tragic death could have been avoided? Would there have been a happily ever after? While Romeo and Juliet is a story of two star-crossed lovers whose deaths bring their families together, Taylor Swift’s song “Love Story”, gives a faint idea of how it would have turned out if Romeo and Juliet’s families acknowledged their love. “Love Story” is a narrative
Romeo and Juliet: A Story of True Love One of Shakespeare’s greatest works is arguably the troublesome love story of Romeo and Juliet. It’s widely disputed on whether their love was true or the result of young teenagers’ impulse. However, Romeo and Juliet’s love was true and genuine, and can be proven throughout the events and story of Romeo and Juliet. It’s proven when Shakespeare writes that Romeo and Juliet are ‘star-crossed lovers’, can be proven through the genuine acts of true love between
Romeo and Juliet has been known as the best love story to hit the face of the earth. It is the most known and most talked about Shakespeare play and has become the ultimate classic love story. But is it even all that great? No, I do not think Romeo and Juliet is all that great of a love story. I think that the public who were exposed to the play at the time, which was around the 1600's, had not seen too many other tragic love stories, so they of course loved it. Everybody loves new and
Everybody has heard of the famous play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare but, hardly anyone knows that it was not a love story. For years there has been a debate whether or not Romeo and Juliet is actually a love story. Romeo and Juliet is not considered a true love story, according to many sources because it does not follow the guidelines of a true love story, Romeo and Juliet are too young to know what love is and cultural traditions could have pushed them to marry. To start off with, the
True love leads to tragic death. Or at least that is what happens in the Shakespeare play, Romeo and Juliet. Many people describe the play starting as a comedy, but ending as a tragedy. Some people may argue that Romeo and Juliet was not a true love story, and was just a fictional story involving nothing but fake feelings. However, a lot of evidence points to Romeo and Juliet really being a true love story. One reason some people think that Romeo and Juliet is a true love story is because it is
Love is a catalyst. Just like every war precipitates disaster, love precipitates the unknown. Factors such as the environment, background, and behavior all contribute to the outcome. Some stories end like "Romeo and Juliet," and others like "Cinderella." This shows the power of love in relationships and the importance of maintaining one. Relationships are like health; they require balance, sacrifice, and perseverance to achieve. Likewise, no one person can make the bond "work," but they can ruin
While Romeo and Juliet has a very clear inability to capture mature love, it does do a wonderful job of displaying teenage.. love, the kind of love that we see when a hormone raged boy shoots himself and/or his girlfriend, though I detest attaching the word love to that disgusting display and it leaves a bad taste in the back of my throat to do so. Before all my dear readers who scream in favor of this centuries old play threaten me and send letters telling me to die, hear me out. It is my opinion
Romeo and Juliet is a classic love story written by William Shakespeare. The so called love story seems to focus on lust and may not necessarily be the best example of what true love really is. The two main characters Romeo, and Juliet are said to be “star crossed lovers.” Coming from families that hate one another, they have to go to extreme measures to be together. Looking at the story from the outside, it’s hard to understand how one can come to love so quickly. This raises the question of whether
Shakespeare's tragedy, Romeo and Juliet, is the tale of two lovers who take their lives for each other when their love is hindered by their feuding parents. After reading Romeo and Juliet, apparently a tragedy, I would say that this story contains aspects of both a love story and a tragedy. The tale of two teenagers who fall in love at first sight and then marry, become true lovers and then risk it all for their love cannot surely be all tragedy. However, it is a tragedy
