Tybalt’s threats eventually become a full out issue for Romeo. This leads to the next point. Last, the banishment of Romeo that was indeed Tybalt’s fault. After Romeo killed Tybalt, The Prince announces the punishment of Romeo’s actions, “And for that offence, immediately we do exile him hence”(129). If Tybalt had never threatening Romeo or killed Mercutio he would still be alive, but that is a different issue.
Here Macbeth has lied because he has been to see the weird sisters earlier in the play.This now tells us that his loyalty is deteriorating as he prepares himself for the murder of King Duncan. This is dramatic irony because the audience know that he is going to kill the King however most of the actors on stage don’t know of his plan. As the play goes on you discover that Macbeth becomes less and less loyal to Banquo (ending in his murder) also to his wife Lady Macbeth by showing little regret for her death ‘She should have died hereafter’ this tells the
I am here to talk to you today about the death of Romeo and Juliet, and who is to blame for the scandalous death the suspects are Friar Lawrence or Juliet’s nurse. I believe it is Friar Lawrence to blame and I will explain why he is to blame for their deaths throughout this speech. Firstly Friar Lawrence had given Juliet a poison only to stimulate an extreme coma and, to make her breathing and heartbeat slow down. This was chosen to be done therefore a heartbeat can’t be detected but on the other hand Friar Lawrence acted thoughtless, selfish and shockingly. This was a risk that he had given Juliet the sleep like death poison that he had taken a risk.
On line 2 Benvolio says ‘The day is hot’ that gives the sense foreboding. Mercutio fights Tybalt as he is trying to hurt his best friend and Romeo declined the duel. Romeo steps between them and Tybalt strikes Mercutio under Romeo’s arm. ‘A plague a’both your houses!’ Mercutio repeats this three times in this scene to get the message across he is blaming both Romeo and Tybalt for his death. Mercutio responsibilities Romeo for Tybalt killing him ‘I was hurt under your arm’ Romeo feels guilty about Mercutio’s death even though the audience know it is not his fault.
“And for that offense / immediately we do exile him hence. / I have an interest in your hates proceeding” (3.2.202-204). This also causes problems later on in the play. If Romeo had not stabbed Tybalt he would not have been banished, causing Juliet to be depressed, and want to kill herself. Near the end of the play Romeo decides to kill himself, because he found of that Juliet is “dead.” He goes to the Apothecary to purchase a poison he will drink.
Would you think that your mentors would lead to your demise? In William Shakespeare’s “The Tragedy Of Romeo and Juliet,” Friar Lawrence and Nurse caused the infamous couple to die. There are many key examples leading to the two mentors causing these premature deaths that could have been completely avoided. If Friar and Nurse didn’t give bad advice, influences, and ideas then Romeo and Juliet could have grown old together and be happy with each other. With all the things that Friar Lawrence did, none helped the cause with the trouble Romeo had.
As the play progresses, it is evident that Macbeth is tempted by the witches and has become evil by the catalyst of their powers. The reader recognizes the mental weakness Macbeth really has even though he has power in ambition. The varying points of view of a play give the author more power for audience to become involved with the actions on stage. For example, Macbeth in one of his soliloquies says whole heartedly, "I am his kinsman and his subject," about the thoughts of killing Duncan only to be later plauged by vision of "thy blade and dudgeons gouts of blood." This first person point of view allows the audience to know Macbeth's thoughts that no other character in the play can.
The prince listens to Lady Capulet who wants Romeo killed "Romeo slew Tybalt, Romeo must not live." Prince Escales comes to the decision Romeo will not be killed because Tybalt slew Mercutio first so therefore Romeo is banished from Verona under pain of death, "Let Romeo hence in haste, else, when he is found, that hour is his last." Act 3 scene 1 is a very important scene in the play; it is the pivotal scene of the whole play and is greatly linked to act 5 scene 3. A very effective way that Shakespeare uses to create tension in the audience is to use a dramatic irony, where the audience knows something that the characters do not. This is used in the previous scene when Romeo and Juliet marry in secret by Friar Lawrence.
William Shakespeare used the images of blood, water, sleep, and light and darkness in Macbeth to show that Macbeth and Lady Macbeth’s consciences were tearing themselves apart by the end of the play. These images played a crucial part in showing us how Macbeth is feeling and how he is going to react to what will happen next. By the end of the play, we can clearly see how his actions have tortured his mind and ruined his life. Macbeth holds this guilty conscience throughout most of the play, and Shakespeare shows us well. The motif of water in the play is visible when Macbeth and Lady Macbeth talk to each other after the murder of King Duncan.
In literature, the actions that characters commit have serious effects. Shakespeare’s play Macbeth displays acts of killing and betrayal. Macbeth’s obsession with power and fear of death leads him to commit actions that neither he nor his mind can control. What he does cannot be the effect of one person but that of what many people have contributed to. These actions sprout from the seeds of others, seeds that others plant, seeds that manipulate his mind into taking drastic measures.
