“Hold, daughter, I do spy a kind of hope, / Which craves as desperate an execution / As that is desperate which we would prevent (4.1.69-71). And again the Friar tosses around very serious topics with little understanding of what he is causing. He is proposing to the terrified and distressed Juliet to fake her death and then forget about her family, friends, and city, to run off with Romeo whom she met only a few days
This is used in the last line of the poem ‘Bide you with death and sin’; this symbolised her outrage at her sister and her hope that she will pay by going to hell after death. The word ‘Bide’ implies that she will have to live with what she has done, even after death. In contrast, Farmers Bride uses sibilance to emphasise that there are few good point about their relationship; ‘sweet as the wild violets, she, /To her wild self’ this symbolises his love and admiration for her, which is short lived as je cannot get near her. The word ‘wild’ has connotations of unspoilt freedom and rejection of people suggesting that she would rather be with nature than with another person, particularly a male. In sister Maude juxtaposition is used to show the emotion change from one stanza to the next.
This quote, in Elizabethan times would have been recognised as a curse, as it is said three times and this was a curse. The ‘plague’ was referring to a bad thing that was going to happen to them. Some may believe that this may have, yet many others don’t believe in curses, contributed to the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. Benvolio also played a part in the deaths of Romeo and Juliet, as he was the one that told Romeo to go to the party in the first place, and if Romeo had never of went to the party, he never would have met Juliet and so none of the events that followed ever would have
Who is Responsible? “The fearful passage of their death marked love, And the continuance of their parents rage, (Act 1, Pro.,9-12) Which, but their children’s end, naught could remove, Is now the two hours traffic of our stage;” From the beginning of this play, the reader (or viewer) can tell that the two “households” do not like each other and death was in the near future. This quote from the Prologue in Act 1 shows how Romeo and Juliet's love is marked by death from the beginning. In addition, many of the events that take place in Romeo and Juliet lead up to the final conclusion of the couple dying. There are many characters in the play that have a role in and the couple dying, but there is one specific person who sticks out.
She has a slim waist, has round hips, and long legs. She's not necessarily realistic within our world, but she is what you can say, "perfect sized". Her body has become idolized and wanted by women within society. Barbie is a fashion icon, the perfect girl, and purely looked up to by many. She's a representation of how girls should look or want to look within the current time frame.
No matter how well, or for how long, she had prepared for the inevitable… when the inevitable did come, she realized she wasn´t prepared at all. The angel of death had arrived with no intentions of leaving alone. A final tear ran down Angela’s cheek, and it broke Autumn´s heart into a million bohemian crystal pieces. Through a one way glass and with a voiceless voice Angela said: - Good-bye piccola Autumn, my little earthly guardian angel. Take good care of yourself just like Mamma took care of you.
Truly, Sita symbolizes an ideal daughter, wife and queen. The virtuous Savitri on one hand is revered as an emblem of purity, self-control, devotion. She is also a true wife who regards chastity as her most priceless possession. She exemplifies a true woman through the glory of her purity. She is a woman whom one can look upon in sickness and woe.
She is completely unable to control her feelings for her only love, “I must love a loathed enemy” [I, v, 139]. The way that Shakespeare uses “must” is very interesting because although the households are enemies she must go against her parents will because she loves Romeo. No longer did her parents support her instead she was rejected. When Juliet rebels against marring Paris, “He shall not make me a joyful bride” [III,v,117]. Lord Capulet becomes enraged of this defiant behaviour, “An you be mine, I’ll give you to my friend / an you be not, hang, beg, starve, die in the streets, / For, by my soul, I’ll ne’er acknowledge thee” [III, v, 192-4].
This is strongly thought upon because for one, he was put to death for a cause he did not even believe in. He confesses to having an affair with Abigail, when he says, “A man may think God sleeps, but God sees everything, I know it now. I beg you, sir, I beg you—see her what she is. . .
Two households, both alike in dignity (1), In fair Verona (where we lay our scene), From ancient grudge break to new mutiny (2), Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean. From forth the fatal loins of these two foes A pair of star-cross’d lovers (3) take their life; Whose misadventur’d piteous overthrows Doth with their death bury their parent’s strife(4). The fearful passage of their death mark’d love, And the continuance of their parent’s rage, Which but their children’s end nought could remove, Is now the two hour’s traffic of our stage; The which if you with patient ears attend What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend. ----------------------- During the era of the play (when it was written and set), there was a lot of faith put into the stars. It was believed that they controlled people through ‘fate’.
