Bad luck, can be defined as an inescapable and often conflicting results; destiny. Romeo and Juliet were ultimately the ones responsible for their own deaths looking from a destined point of view. On the other hand, the death of the two are partly caused by bad management. The fact that Romeo and Juliet got married knowing that there was a bitter feud between their two families. This feud brought problems along with it, such as the killing of Tybalt by Romeo.
It then escalates to a full blown battle with even the ladies and lords getting involved .In the end, the Prince intervened and said "If ever you disturb our streets again your lives will pay the forfeit of the peace " (If you fight again you will be killed ) The most serious conflict was definitely the scene where Mercutio picks a fight with Tybalt. Mercutio draws his sword on Tybalt. Tybalt accepts this challenge and they fight. Romeo remembers the Prince's threat and attempts to stop them, but it didn't help. Tybalt stabs Mercutio under Romeo's arm, and he dies after cursing plagues on the houses of the Capulets and the Montagues.
Shakespeare presents the feud between the two families as unnecessary, wasteful and it is the cause of death for many characters but without this hatred the final uniting of the two families could no have been possible. The fight is seen to be “a plague o’ both [the] houses…[and] they have made worms’ meat of”(A3, S1, L107-109) many of the characters. The Montague and Capulet’s hatred also affected the play’s final outcome because of the consequence behind their hateful actions. The grief that comes with loss, Romeo’s banishment and other events that take place all present the fact that “all are punished” (A5, S3, L294) for the violence. The hatred between the Montagues and Capulets also led to their love being forbidden, if the two families were not enemies than the death of Romeo and Juliet would never have taken place but in the end their death ultimately brought the families together.
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.
This play is a tragedy so there will be deaths but these deaths are caused by the faults of others. Many different messages are hidden throughout the play but I think the overall messages is to not seek revenge or it will all come after you. Hamlet wanted to seek revenge for his father’s death and that caused Polonius’ death which Hamlet was mistaking him for Claudius who was his main target. Polonius’ death caused Ophelia to go mad and crazy and that led to her own death. Laertes and Claudius had a plan of revenge to go after Hamlet for causing Laertes’ father death.
This sadness Hamlet feels, makes him question his own life in his famous “to be or not to be” soliloquy. The murder of Claudius is his ultimate revenge, but before doing so Hamlet must deal with the incestuous activity that occurred between his mother and his uncle. Hamlets plot for revenge on Claudius is furthered as he realizes that after the death of his father, King Hamlet, Claudius and his mother quickly got married. Hamlet is so frustrated with his mother and her actions, that he yells, “frailty thy name is woman!” (Shakespeare Act I scene II). His hate for women is furthered as seen in his treatment toward Ophelia later on during the play.
Romeo and Juliet had no control over falling in love with each other and the unfortunate events that followed. Second, fate has a huge impact on Romeo and Juliet being born into the family feud between the Capulet and Montague’s. The actions of the feuding families set into motion the unfortunate events that lead to the demise of Romeo and Juliet. From the start of the play the chorus begins to talk about how the two families hold an “ancient grudge” (Prologue.3) on each other. It also states that Romeo and Juliet were born from “the fatal lions of these two foes” (Prologue.5).
“For never was a story of more woe than this of Juliet and her Romeo.” – What do you think of this estimate of the play’s events? Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet” is indeed a woeful tale of two young lovers, whose love was destined for destruction as it proclaims in the last line of the play. Shakespeare explores the theme of love in his tragedy-drama play “Romeo and Juliet” and the different issues that arise. The issues which prevent Romeo and Juliet from loving each other and subsequently lead to their woeful death include – the eternal feud between the two families which proves to push them to their death, indecisive and superficial advice given from pre-trustworthy sources and ultimately, fate, which holds the most powerful influence over Romeo and Juliet’s destiny. The endless feuding between the two families is a major aspect that contributed to the lover’s tragedy.
As soon as the nurse finds out that Tybalt is dead her reaction is very troubling and she doesn’t exactly know how to break it to Juliet so at the end result she says, “Tybalt is gone, and Romeo banished; Romeo that kill’d him, he is banished.” (3.2.69-70). This quote is a literal and a grammatical structure because Juliet is very upset but angry as well, she is young and she doesn’t exactly known what to do in the situation. Romeo’s blamed for the death of Tybalt. Fat occurs again when Romeo comes to the understanding that Juliet is dead and he kills himself too. At the start of the play Romeo dreams that if he goes to
As an act of revenge for the calculated and careless murder of his father Hamlet fakes insanity or madness and plots to kill him. Hamlet is enraged by this and therefore sets into an action that produces questions throughout centuries that have yet to be fully answered as to whether or not he was really insane. Shakespeare seemed to have written Hamlet after the death of his son. Within the tragedies of Hamlet and King Lear one has to wonder if feelings of grief threatened to overwhelm the writer. In his effort to deal with his grief an outpour of tragic plays came forth.
