As Carlotta, the Opéra's resident soprano prima donna, rehearses for that evening's performance, a backdrop collapses without warning. "The Phantom! He's here!" the anxious cast members whisper. The Opera's new owners, Firmin and André, try to downplay the incident, but Carlotta refuses to continue and storms offstage.
Juliet shows her devotion to Romeo throughout the entire play. One example was when Juliet is confronted with her parents’ decision for her to marry Paris. She refuses to follow through with their command and says, “I will not marry yet; and, when I do, I swear, it shall be Romeo, whom you know I hate, Rather than Paris.” These lines are ironic because she has already married Romeo and she loves him with an undying burning passion. Furthermore, when she chose to take the very dangerous potion that would make her fall into a very deep sleep, she was taking a huge risk. She was taking a very high risk in taking the potion because Friar Lawrence did not even know if it would work and she herself questions if he wanted to poison her.
When Clara turned nineteen, she confessed to Wieck about her relationship with Schumann. Her confession drove Wieck into a jealous rage; he did everything in his might to prevent the loving couple from seeing each other. Despite Wieck’s strong objection, Clara and Schumann were finally married on September 12, 1840, when Clara almost turned 21 and Schumann’s age of 30. The time was a struggle for Clara as she filled herself with guilt that she had “betrayed” her beloved father- Wieck never forgave her and denied Clara as his daughter ever
(Stabs herself) There rust and let me die.”-P. 579 lines (169-171). It’s really sad that all of this could have been avoided if Juliet would’ve just left with Romeo or if their families gave up their hatred for one another. Throughout Romeo and Juliet, Romeo and Juliet’s personality drastically changes. At first Romeo was love-sick and Juliet didn’t want anything to do with marriage. Then they meet, fall in love and get married.
Her broken heart from being betrayed makes her cruel. She now holds a grudge against all males. She even raises her beautiful daughter Estella to lure men in and then break their hearts. She stops all the clocks in Satis House at twenty minutes to nine, which was the moment when she first learned that Compeyson was gone. She still wears her faded wedding dress and only one shoe because when she learned of the betrayal, she hadn’t put the other on yet.
This is exactly what happens to Dorian – his physical appearance could never change, therefor his soul could never truly be seen. His true appearance was not shown until after his death. It is relvant because, by making Dorian eternally youthful and innocent in appearance, he may commit crimes with impunity, just as one could with Gyges’ ring. In one point in the story, Dorian attends a performance of Richard Wagner’s opera, Tannhäuser. The opera tells the story of a medieval singer, whose art is so beautiful that he causes Venus, the goddess of love herself, to fall in love with him, and offers him eternal life with her in the Venusberg.
The Lord forced Juliet to marry paris, he then proceeded to threaten to disown her if she did not give her consent to marry him. “I tell thee what get thee to church o’ Thursday/ or never look me in the face” On top of the fact that Capulet forced his daughter he also moved up the wedding, stressing poor juliet out even more. The ongoing feud between contributed heavily to the deaths of the two teens, an aspect Capulet had total control over. Had he ended the feud years prior when he had the chance, Romeo and Juliet would not have had to sneak
Benvoilo feels sympathy for the young brokenhearted man and encourages him to go to the Capulet’s party so he will forget the girl. Meanwhile, as Juliet prepares for the party, her mother discussing her impending marriage, to which she replies “It is an honour that I dream not of.” As Juliet is only 13 years old, it is reasonable for her not to be ready for such responsibility. However all previous notions are lost when she meets Romeo. He sees her from
Myrtle wishes she was in the place of Daisy and wishes to escape to the ‘Egg’. She breaks down and cries when she finds out George borrowed the suit he wore to the wedding, which shows her wish to be married to a rich man. This is one of the reasons she has an affair with Tom Buchanan, the other being that she just wanted to have fun “ You can’t live for ever” is the way she puts it. Myrtle doesn’t treat George with any respect, when Tom is with them she is “walking through her husband as if he were a ghost”. She also states that she “made a mistake when she married him”.
When she arrives late to the annual gathering, she brushes off Mr. Summers’ remark of her lateness in a joking manner. To show her enthusiasm about the lottery, she encourages her husband Bill, to “get up there” and choose a ticket from the black box. When the winning ticket is revealed in her husband’s [Bill Hutchinson] hand, she begins to reveal her true colours as she shouts at Mr. Summers for not giving Bill enough time to choose the ticket, [and that] “it wasn’t fair.” Like a peacock revealing its feathers, Tessie shows her selfishness, as she begins to risk her own daughter’s life just to live. If it came down to another family winning, she would not have even budged to say anything, and in fact would have gone along with the norm and followed through with the stoning that was yet to come. Unfortunately for her, she had ended up being the “lucky” winner, and pleaded for her life and another chance.
