One was his quick transition of love from Rosaline to Juliet. After Rosaline rejects Romeo, soon afterwards, at the Capulet’s party, Romeo meets only Juliet briefly yet, immediately declares himself in love with her* If Romeo did not have the flaw of falling in love too quickly and deeply, it would have perhaps, prevented the chaos that would have ensured later on in the story when Juliet and got involved with each other. *“Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight! For I ne’er saw true beauty till the night.” ( Act 1 scene 5, lines 52 – 53) Another flaw in Romeo’s character was his unpremeditated thinking.
I now see that his tone was in no way nonchalant or unfeeling, it was actually subtly powered by emotion. Words like “sympathetic” and “nonchalant” imply a narrow sorrow or slight caring, while “jocular” and “irate” imply very intense emotions of hilarity and anger respectively. “Sardonic”, which can be defined as “characterized by bitter or scornful derision; mocking; cynical”, means in this context that he found his mistress’ willingness to become ruthless as almost amusing, as though he knew she would change over eventually. Still, we see that this change in her behavior greatly hurt Douglass and so it is not without bitterness that he makes this statement. It is clear that his tone is more sardonic than anything else when addressing the change of his mistress.
Steinbeck portrays him as paranoid and insecure for which he overcompensates for with aggression. In section 4 we find talking to Crooks, Candy and Lennie, in this section we see a glimpse of her true self, after which she then overcompensates for her vulnerability by threatening to have Crooks lynched. This gives us the impression that she is evil. Finally in section 5 we see the true version of Curley's wife, we learn she has dreams, just like everyone else, and also falls victim to loneliness (another big theme of the novel). In death, we see what she really looks like, innocent and pure.
As a result of this Philippe learned that love beats all and that no matter what love will triumph. In both Macbeth and Ladyhawke two people faced conflicts that they must overcome. Macbeth, a tragic her, faced his tragic flaw and the corruption it caused him. Philippe, the hero, faced the problem of bringing the two lovers together. Both people put their life in danger, be it from themselves or guards looking for them; the difference is how they handle it.
Although fate as coincidence plays an important role in the play, Romeo and Juliet are doomed by their own actions. Actions which were done without thought and done impulsively can have many consequences. Yes, Romeo and Juliet’s actions were done without any consideration, and they paid a price for it – death. Firstly the killing of Tybalt, secondly falling in love and getting married quickly, and lastly the fact that they killed themselves lead them to their tragic end. Killing Tybalt was a foolish decision of Romeo’s.
Slim explains to George, “You hadda George. I swear you hadda” (118). He did have to kill Lennie in order to ensure the safety of himself as well as the safety of others who Lennie could have injured. When the well being of multiple people are in jeopardy, euthanasia is justifiable at the expense of only one
The easy way is often referred to as the wrong way and in some cases this is true, such as when Victor ignored his creation. By not facing his fears he was granted the absence of the monster, but only contributed to emanate problem just on the horizon. Victor’s tone of boastful arrogance soon turned to forlorn warning when he “Had finished and saw, the beauty of the dream vanished, and breathless horror and disgust filled his heart” (Shelley, 42). A fantastic example of the “easy way out” could be found in The Importance of Being Earnest. As Jack quickly finds out, lying about your true name to win the girl of your dreams can be successful, but also have consequences.
Romeo and Juliet’s love is doomed not only by the world around them but also by its intensity, because it leads them to death, to be completely blind and oblivious to their lives, and it caused them to move too quickly. First of all, the love between Romeo and Juliet is doomed because it was strong enough to drive them to their tragic ends. The love that was shared between the two enemies was so odd and wrong that it made them do completely irrational things. They not only tried to kill themselves over each other, but they both succeeded in their ends. Juliet was so distracted by the needs of herself and Romeo that she tried to kill herself three times: first when Romeo is banished, then again to avoid marrying Paris, and finally when she stabbed herself.
In the play king Lear, mercy is an insatiable trait which is surrounded by so much hate and malice every time love is given it makes those moments so much more enjoyable. In the begging of the Play King Lear, Cordelia the king’s daughter, is outcast, cheated of her inheritance accused of being a wicked child and one that nature is a shamed of (I,i,215-219). Even though at the beginning of the play king Lear disowns his daughter and she has every right to be unloving to him; when they are reunited King Lear offers to harm himself but Cordelia turns that idea away and forgives him when she asks to take a walk with her father (4,VII,83). People want to see mercy, they want to see those that deserve worse receive compassion and mercy Lear deserved to be turned away but Cordelia showed tenderness to her aging father and
Being compared to the devil in a novel set in a heavily catholic country shows that she is evil, and the subtitle ‘The Tragedy of Paulo Giordano Ursini, Duke of Brachiano, With the Life and Death of Vittoria Corombona the famous Venetian Curtizan’ supports this. The fact that she is a ‘famous curtizan’ supports the idea that she is to blame for the events in the novel, as it is her promiscuity that causes the murders of so many, sparked by jealously in Brachiano. Vittoria is immediately at a disadvantage in the novel and entering the trial however. She is not even given the grace of being the centre of focus in the subtitle, added on at the end almost as if her presence is an afterthought by Webster. This shows how she is handicapped by the fact that she is a woman, in a society controlled by men.
