This is demonstrated from the opening scene where out of nowhere a fight breaks out, just out of one perceived disrespectful utterance. If both sides hadn’t despised each other so much Romeo and Juliet’s affection would not have been sneered upon and, indeed may never have happened at all. In a classic forbidden fruit statement Juliet whispers “My only love sprung from my only hate!” when she realises who her love is. The conflict carries on even with the death of Mercutio and Tybalt. Instead of mourning their loss, each family incessantly blames the other for its cause.
Romeo and Juliet In William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, Romeo and Juliet are portrayed as two adolescent “star-crossed lovers” who in an unfortunate turn of events and miscommunication, end up with their lives tragically turning upside down in a tale of love and misfortune. Although many characters play their own part in the events that occurred, some are more responsible than others. But the question that has arisen is who is truly guilty for the devastating outcome for the two lovers? A reasonable assumption based on the evidence, suggests the most likely characters to be responsible are Friar Laurence, Rosaline, Mercutio and Balthazar. Firstly, it seems as though a likely person to blame would be Friar Laurence.
This makes her more vulnerable to being hurt but only motivates her further, to bulldoze the barricade down as if it is her heart that is controlling her mind, rather than hear actual intellect controlling her mentality, this foreshadows and explains future tragic events which occur ever so wretchedly. “Fatal loins of these two foes” as “a pair of star crossed lovers” are blinded by love which makes them susceptible to any heart break and “The fearful passage of their death-mark’d love” in which conveys later scenes of critical elapses. Romeo attempts to break
The desire for superiority and domination has plagued the twentieth century by power struggles between nations in the form of wars and large numbers of casualties. Over the centuries, poetry has endeavoured to communicate human emotions and ideas. Some present a glorified war in order to portray their love and patriotic attitude to their audience. Such a view is presented in “The Soldier” by Rupert Brooke. Quite alternatively, some poems demonstrate a more realistic representation of war such as Kenneth Slessor’s poem “Beach Burial” and the first excerpt from the film production ‘Saving Private Ryan’ which encapsulate the futility of war and the intolerable atrocities on innocent lives.
Although Friar Lawrence’s intentions were good, his decisions and actions were the sole cause of Romeo and Juliet’s death. Do you agree? Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet is the story of two young lovers who fall for one another only to realise that due to the feud their families’ share their love is destined for destruction. With all good intentions the minor character, Friar Lawrence was one of, but not the complete cause of their tragic end. There are three dominant aspects of their deaths, the feud between the two families, Friar Lawrence and most importantly, fate.
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.
Now that he's aware of the murderous act, his actions become "rather impaitent" and this means that instantaneously he's battling against Goole. Through Priestly's use of hostility in the context of Birling's behaviour, the reader begins to question his dubious acts, and start to discover that there is tension deep routed routed withon the Birling family history, taht they're yet to disciver. Likewise,Priestly symbolises the tension within the family by the stark and interrogating light. The light becomes "white" and excruciatingly bright, and his shows the erecting tension as the play progresses. With the "dark" and cosy lighting at the beginning it juxtaposes to the opposite spectrum and by this the audience becmes aware of this tension that grows within the Birling's as each character finds a snippet of information that they'd rather not hear.
In "Editha" by William Dean Howells, a young woman named Editha Balcom feels a man's place is behind his country. Her love interest George Gearson feels war is the wrong answer; he feels that it causes chaos in the world. Editha and George have a contemporary relationship. She feels a man must fight for his country in order to be a real man. Contrary to Editha's
It was fate that brought these two opposite people together. Two people from two big prominent families who hate one another for some ancient and unknown reason were brought together by fate, but also by irony. Shakespeare could have told an easy love story, but it had to be one with an extreme paradox – love through hatred. Fate, dramatic irony and the visions that he kept giving to his audience, all showed that the two opposites were destined for each other no matter what the practical approach might have been. Juliet says “My only love sprung from my only hate” (1.5.52).
Biff brings out Willy's vulnerability by forcing him to recall harsh memories of his affair. Biff also challenges Willy, and forces Willy to live outside of his psuedo reality. In one line Willy says, "She’s nothing to me, Biff. I was lonely, I was terribly lonely"(1924), remembering Biff's discovery of his affair. This memory as well as the crash of reality force itself on Willy everytime he argues with Biff.
