William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet The name Romeo, in popular culture, has become synonymous with
"lover". Romeo
Montague, in William Shakespeare's 'Romeo and Juliet' does indeed

object of his love, Juliet Capulet, has died. Emotions and changes are
conveyed in Romeo's use of language and his gestured. It is the scenes
in which Romeo and Juliet are together that I shall study in the
following essay to show Romeo's changes and how Shakespeare's language
is used to show this.
At the beginning of the play, Romeo pines for Rosaline, proclaiming
her to be the paragon of all women and despairing at her indifference
towards him. Romeo's Rosaline-induced histronics seem rather juvenile.

of questions with no answers, because he can not believe she is not

Although they are the basis of William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, these main characters are dull, undynamic, and do not specifically appeal to certain readers. Nurse could be considered as a more interesting character because she brings her wit, drama and insight into the plotline.
In all of the best works of literature, each of a writer's characters has a purpose whether the role is small or big. Even if it goes unnoticed, the small characters usually play a key role to the story's plot development. These minor characters also add depth to the story's world and also help in the development of the major characters' personality.

In the play, Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare reveals an underlying message that points to the contrasts between youth and age that are even apparent now today. The youth of society tend to question and then possibly disregard the rules that are important to their parents if they do not have good reason to believe in these rules. The rebellious actions of youth can eventually cause their own untimely destruction. We see today in the headlines many instances where teens have followed their own unguided course bringing about tragic results. Shakespeare shows us in his play how these factors contributed to the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet.
