He is now angry with Tybalt and wants revenge. ‘Fire-eyed fury be my conduct now.’ Romeos change in mood is significant as it leads to the death of Tybalt and Romeo being banished . Shakespeare also uses dramatic irony to make Act 3 Scene 1 such an intense and significant scene. When Romeo refuses to fight Tybalt all the other characters are confused as to why. ‘Good Capulet, which name I tender as dearly as my own.’ The audience know the reason why Romeo won’t fight Tybalt, which is because Romeo and Juliet are now married.
Character Logs for Romeo and Juliet Romeo At the beginning of the play, Romeo thinks that he is not good enough for Rosaline. He doubts himself: “She is too fair…wisely too fair.” Act 1 Scene 1 Line 220. He thinks that he doesn’t deserve such a beautiful and clever girl as she is out of his league. Romeo is so under pressure and depressed that he doesn’t want to think about anything else. This miserable situation is making him feel disconnected from the world, and he cannot handle all the strong feelings he has: “O teach me how I should forget to think.” Act 1 Scene 1 Line 225.
The involved parties focus solely on that attribute, and therefore consequences are ignored, and thus lives can be lost. Hate and love complement each other as they are so different. Love is happiness gained through being with those that you love, whereas hate is happiness gained through disliking someone, which is the complete opposite to love. This immense differentiality between the two creates the astounding love/hate story that is loved by many. Although the story ends with many deaths, the hate within walls of Verona is abolished and brings the feuding families to love one another as they do not want to see any more
It causes many terrible events. Many people argue over whether it was bad luck (fate), or bad management. Shakespeare smartly hints at the outcome throughout the story making the reader hope for more and more that Romeo and Juliet end up living together, happily married. Unfortunately, the fate in Romeo and Juliet isn’t a very desirable one. Bad luck, can be defined as an inescapable and often conflicting results; destiny.
This offends John because he compares himself to Romeo (which explains why he is annoying) and Lenina to Juliet (which explains the stupidity). Also, he takes his Shakespeare very seriously. I think that John will, like Romeo, do something really idiotic to gain Lenina’s love. Perhaps by jumping off a building, (hopefully). Maybe he is going to profess his love in front of all the workers at the Centre, and then Lenina will be really happy, but also embarrassed because an “uncivilized” person likes her.
Romeo’s fickle heart in Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet In Shakespeare’s most famous love story people often forget that Romeo had another love interest before Juliet. Romeo was at first interested in Rosaline, a woman who never even utters a line in the play. Romeo is denied by Rosaline and falls in love with Juliet only days later. In fair Verona, Romeo is venting his frustrations to Benvolio about Rosaline, when he explains “She will stay siege of loving terms/ nor bide th’ encounter of assailing eyes/ nor ope her lap to saint-seducing gold”(1.1.215-218). Romeo is frustrated Rosaline has not responded to his cliché attempts to woo her.
The word “O” shows exactly how taken aback Romeo first is. He is lost for words, which is often a sign of love. He, Romeo uses a metaphor to convey his feelings about Juliet. “She doth teach the torches to burn bright!” exaggerates his feelings over her. It is followed by the line “It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night”.
He uses conflict in so much detail that one would only have to look at the play; the length of the lines would stand out. Shakespeare shows Romeo’s emotions before and after meeting Juliet. Before Romeo meets Juliet he thinks he is in love, yet he is actually depressed. When Romeo’s friends try to raise his spirits by trying to get him to go to the Capulet party, he complains that he is, “Under loves heavy burden”. The metaphor of love being a “heavy burden” is ironic because love should not feel so negative.
Shakespeare uses dramatic language to create a powerful impact on us, the readers. This is portrayed by the fact that Romeo is welcoming his unfortunate death in such a courageous way. “I have more care to stay that will to go, Come, death and welcome!” this also conveys a sense of innocence and playfulness in their marriage. However it is Juliet, who informs him that the bird “that sings so out of tune”, is a lark, not a nightingale and thus it are dawn and Romeo must flee. This image can also convey a sense of unease as we the audience understand the tragedy before it unfolds As Romeo hurries away, Juliet begs fate to bring him back to her quickly.
Destiny is the hidden power believed to determine what will happen in the future. It is evident from the beginning of the play that destiny is involved. The prologue states that Romeo and Juliet are ‘star cross’d lovers’ (Prologue 6), which is referring to the inevitability of fate. It is not only felt by the audience, but the characters are conscious of it too. Romeo and Juliet frequently notice signs, such as when Romeo believes that Juliet is dead, he cried, ‘then I defy you, stars,’ (Act V, Scene I, Line 24) confirming the idea that Romeo and Juliet’s love, was not a part of their fate.
