Romeo & Juliet
Romeo and Juliet is Shakespeare's most popular play. It is the most retold and reiterated since it deals with everyday aspects of life such as love, tragedy, and in particular, family. The roles of parents and "substitute" parents are important in this play. The biological parents of Romeo and Juliet are supposed to act as role models and guides for their children, but ironically, it is the substitute parents, Friar Laurence and the Nurse, who are only seemingly supportive of Romeo and Juliet; unfortunately, neither the biological nor substitute parents could prevent the tragic ending.
Juliet's biological parents, in particular, do not play the role of guides or role models, as any parent should; Romeo's parents are very seldom discussed. Instead, Juliet's parents are deceptive. Juliet's father is deliberately deceiving her by making Juliet believe that she is going to choose her own husband when he has already chose the County Paris and is attempting to get Juliet to fall for him. He says to the County, "But woo her gentle Paris, get her heart. My will to her consent is but a part and she agreed within her scope of choice, lies my consent and fair according voice." This implies that Juliet is na?ve and blind. This deception by her father leads to a control factor in that her parents are controlling her. An example of the amount of control they have over Juliet is the arranged marriage they are forcing onto Juliet and how she has to resort to faking her own death to get out of it. Juliet is very smart and brave to do this. Death is the only way out of it for Juliet because if she remains alive, her parents will severely punish her for disobeying them and continue on with the wedding, regardless. This is an example of the conditional love they hold for Juliet. If she disobeys them, she is heavily punished and still has to do what she is told out of spite. If she abides by her parents' wishes like she does when she pretends to agree to marry Paris and apologizes to her father, she is loved and praised. Juliet's parents, more so than Romeo's, are poor examples as parents because of deceptive and controlling attitudes and the conditional love they present to Juliet.
Friar Laurence and the Nurse of Juliet seem to be very supportive of Romeo and Juliet, unlike the biological parents.
Jane Eyre finds her own image in St. John Rivers as they share several similarities in their moral determinations. After learning of Bertha Mason’s existence, Jane Eyre refuses to stay in Thornfield, fearing that she might lose her self-respect if she would give into Feeling, or “temptation” (447). The Feeling demands her to comply with Rochester’s entreaty, asking “Who in the world cares for you [Jane]? Or who will be injured by what you do?” (4...
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.
Jane is exposed to different kinds of religion as the novel goes on. Bronte exposes a great deal of characterization in Jane as she is forced to decide between conforming to the religions of her peers or staying true to herself and discovering the faith that is right for her. She must decide between the evangelical overlook of a harsh Christian society, represented by Mr. Brocklehurst, the idea of passion before principle, represented by Mr. Rochester, and the idea ...
Throughout the novel Jane Eyre, Jane Eyre struggles to find the ideal balance between spiritual obligation to her faith and human desires. During her life she encounters three religious figures that aide in the shaping of Jane’s religion: Mr. Brocklehurst, Helen Burns, and St. John Rivers. Each person signifies a standpoint on religion that Jane rejects as she establishes her perceptions about principle and faith as well as their potential consequences. Therefore, the Christian faith is something that every individual must develop for himself by witnessing the religious faiths of others and then must establish his faith based on the morals and ethics the individual personally believes.
“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.
At Lowood, Jane is repulsed by Mr. Blocklehurst and his "two-faced" character and coarseness. However, while at Lowood, Jane finds her first true friend in the form of Helen Burns, another student at the school. Helen teaches Jane of love in the form of religion. By means of instruction as well as by example, Helen is able to convey this message. When Jane is punished in front of the whole school, she tries to accept it as though it has some higher purpose. However, Jane still desires human affection and is deeply hurt when she is scorned. Jane goes as far as to say, "If others don't love me, I would rather die than live." Helen's response, "You think too much of the love of human beings," is a testament to her devout faith (Bronte, 101). When Helen is dying of Typhus later on in the story, she reminds Jane, "I believe: I have faith: I am going to God" (Bronte, 113). Jane is able to draw strength from Helen's faith, ultimately making her (Jane) stronger.
Romeo and Juliet is a play written by William Shakespeare, where a boy and a girl fall in love with each other during a party hosted by Juliet’s father, Lord Capulet. The two teenager decide to get marry, despite their family's hate for each other and only meeting each other a few hours ago. However, the Montagues (Romeo’s Parents) and the Capulets end their feud after they discover that their children killed themselves. Romeo and Juliet’s death was caused by Juliet’s parents, Juliet, and Friar Lawrence.
Jane leaves Gateshead for Lowood Institution, a charity school. Despite the unwelcoming conditions of the institution, Jane is able to develop into a woman due to the influence of the next positive role model in her life, Helen Burns. Helen Burn is Jane’s eventual best friend. She is an intelligent, composed, and kind young woman. But more importantly, she is devoutly religious. Her steadfast faith in God provides Jane an exemplary model of a female Christian. Helen teaches Jane important aspects of Christianity that influence her later life decisions. The first thing Helen does is tell Jane to read the New Testament on follow Christ’s example. “Love your enemies; bless them that curse you,” (Bronte 55) she says, teaching Jane her first lesson: forgiveness. This lesson gives Jane the ability to eventually let go of her hatred of those who wronged her and helped eliminate the bitterness building up inside her. This is especially important when it come to Rochester. Jane left Rochester after finding he kept the truth about Bertha from her, but her love for him and her ability to forgive drives her come back.
Jane's first encounter with religion was with Helen Burns, her only friend at Lowood. Before her arrival at Lowood, Jane lived uncomfortably with her malevolent Aunt Reed who constantly rebuked and abused her. Jane searched for comfort and security by virtue of her own strong will, without the faith of God. She was left lonely and confused. Helen welcomed Jane into the strict, religious school of Lowood. However, Lowood was not the answer to Jane's prayers, but rather an unsuspecting, ill child. Helen proclaimed God's will and his command to "love your enemies; bless them that curse you ...." (Bronte 50) Jane thoughtfully analyzed this command but did not comprehend the meaning intended. Helen explained, "Life appears to me too short to be spent nursing animosity, or registering wrongs." (Bronte 50) Jane gradually discovers the importance of accepting faults in the world, and rejoices in the knowledge of God. The guidance and assurance that faith always provides enabled Jane to endure the severe times at Lowood School. Although Jane questioned the existence of God's heavenly kingdom, she undoubtedly believed she would be reunited with Helen in God's love after death. Without he...
To begin, Lady and Lord Montague, Lady and Lord Capulet, Friar Lawrence, and the Nurse all contributed to the ending of the plays. Both Romeo and Juliet’s parents could have helped them with the troubles they
The period of their engagement is thus represented by Brontë as wrought with the perils of sexual temptation as implied by Jane’s idolatry of Rochester and willingness to yield to him. Still, Jane’s religious agency and morality allows her to resist, thus ensuring her a continued connection with God. Nevertheless, Jane retains her spiritual love that includes Christianity and allows her to accommodate her mortal desires. Jane is again tried when she learns of Bertha’s existence and is begged by Rochester to be his mistress, to which she denies by saying she “will keep the law given by God; sanctioned by man” (313). In the midst of this catastrophe she says, “One idea only still throbbed life-like within me—a remembrance of God” (293) and with a firm resolution she leaves Thornfield and Rochester, exulting “him who thus loved me I absolutely worshipped: and I must renounce love and idol” (312). Jane’s actions clearly demonstrate that she submits her will to God even when her whole being is at odds with her decision; and this is not simply indicative of a religious duty but also a morality that grounds her existence.

The need to love and to be loved is a general characteristic basic to human nature. However, the moral principles and beliefs that govern this need are decided by the individual. In the novel Jane Eyre , author, Charlotte Brontë, vividly describes the various characters' personalities and beliefs. When the reader first meets the main character, Jane Eyre, an orphan of ten, she is living at Gateshead Hall in England with her Aunt Reed and three cousins, all of whom she greatly despises. Soon after, Jane is sent away to the Lowood Institution, a girls' school, where she lives for the next eight years. Jane then moves to Thornfield Hall to work as a governess for Mr. Rochester; they fall in love and plan to be married. However, during the wedding ceremony, it is revealed that Mr. Rochester already has a wife. Humiliated, Jane leaves Thornfield and travels to Moor House. While there, Jane hears Mr. Rochester's voice calling her name one evening; she immediately returns to Thornfield only to find a charred and desolate house burned by Mr. Rochester's lunatic wife. During the tragedy, Mr. Rochester's wife dies and he looses a hand as well as the sight in both eyes. However, because his wife is deceased, Jane and Mr. Rochester are free to marry and do so. Even though Jane's existence is anchored in the need to love and to be loved, she is an intense character and refuses to sacrifice her moral principles and beliefs regardless of the situation.
Each person Jane meets thinks differently about religion. Jane adopts certain parts from certain people to make her own beliefs and practices. When Jane forgives Mrs. Reed, she uses what Helen has told her in the past. Likewise, the role that religion plays in Jane’s life helps her to make decisions. She often based a large decision on what she learns from other people about God and from what God tells
Advertising has been round for centuries; starting with print ads, then evolving into radio and TV adverts. Each form of advertisement requires several different strategies in order to make the advertisement effective and appealing to the consumer. With the ever popular rising of the usage of the internet, online advertisements have also become more popular. According to Dr. David Evans, who received his Ph.D. in Economics, e-commerce, or sales processed online, were equal to 34 billion dollars as of 2008.
