In Shakespeare’s Rome and Juliet there are many minor characters that play an important role in the play. They might just only be minor characters but their existences have definitely given the plot a twist. Without them, the plot would not be the same; it would be not be as dramatic as it is now. The minor characters also have a great deal of influence over the ultimate destinies of Romeo and Juliet. Not having these minor characters in the play, would be like missing the icing on a cake.
The experience of the dual emotional state seems to be very enjoyable to many, and so people keep watching these movies. Many people would substitute watching full contact sports like boxing and football for horror movies, because they share the concept of violence. A lot of people find enjoyment and thrill in violence, and it is more enjoyable when violence is directed against those people believe deserve this kind of treatment. Horror movies keep you attached until the end, because everybody wants to see the end of the
Without the feud, Juliet would be free to marry Romeo with no problem. The Capulet-Montague feud caused many problems in the lives of Romeo and Juliet. When Juliet is told by Capulet to “get thee to Church on Thursday, or never look me in the face” sparks many disagreements between the family and confusion for Juliet. Although Capulet had no idea of Romeo and Juliet’s marriage, he should have been more kind and less forcing when presenting Juliet with the offer. If this was the case, Juliet may not have felt so driven to take the potion and fake her death.
tExplore how Love and Hate are used in Romeo and Juliet Romeo and Juliet is debatably the world’s most play. It is the love story between two people who are supposed to hate each other, already the title has been linked to the theme, but this is not all that can link the story to a Love and Hate theme and so we delve deeper… The first implication of Love and hate is in the prologue however in Line 166 of Act 1, scene 1 Romeo says “Here’s much to do with hate, but more with love”. He is talking about loving hate and is referring to his love of Juliet but his hate towards Capulets. Another interesting point about love and hate is that the two themes come in pairs and when love is mentioned so his hate (and vice versa). A good example of this is when Romeo is alone with Juliet in the orchard and they talk of their passionate and soppy love for one another, Romeo throughout this scene is reminded of how much danger he is and how he could be killed if he was caught.
When true love happens people will go to the ends of the Earth to be together. Fate plays a major role in Romeo and Juliet in numerous ways. They would do anything for one another and throughout the play the reader is able to tell they are defiantly meant for one another. In our society today, it is hard to find a love like that of Romeo and Juliet but anything is possible with fate. Two star-crossed lovers go against their parent’s will since Juliet’s cousin is now dead and Romeo dreams that he should not go to the party, with that he ends up taking his own life.
Both the movie and the novel follow this basic plot, but of course the novel was more detailed. For the most part the movie was close to the book. New Moon is narrated in first person by Bella and has an obvious parallel with Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet because even Bella recognizes that she is in danger of playing out history’s greatest romantic tragedy. Keeping Romeo and Juliet in the forefront of the readers mind actually helps the author build the tension for the climax of the story because we can all see the tragedy that is waiting to happen. There wasn’t much narration on what Bella was feeling internally.
Watching Othello, I already knew the underlined themes and symbolism, etc. because I had gone over it in previous classes; however, while I was watching the play I tried to block out what I “imagined” had occurred versus what the director’s vision of the play was. One of the reasons I do not like to read a play before watching it is because it conflicts with my vision or version of what it would have been. For instance, I imagined Iago as a very sinful villain and not as slick as he was played; however I can see both character directions. None the less, the play and actors were very good and I loved how the director made use of the space.
Olivia also had her identity mistaken by her brother's best friend antonio. Viola said that she had no idea who he was and Antonio, still believing her to be Sebastian, rightfully got very angry and upset because he had considered sebastian as a good and loyal friend. This case of mistaken identity caused hurt feelings and confusion to those involved. Unlike the other cases of mistaken identity , this one had no humor purpose this incident is an interesting and more serious part of the play, which involves another mistake over Viola's identity. As a final summary, I think mistaken identity is a very important aspect of Twelfth Night: it provides humour, complications and interesting twists to the play.
He did brilliantly in using the dialogue to portray what characters were feeling and thinking. Shakespeare also used dialogue allocated to other characters, such as Lady Macbeth, to portray Macbeth’s ambition further: “…It is too full o' the milk of human kindness to catch the nearest way: thou wouldst be great; Art not without ambition, but without the illness should attend it.” Lady Macbeth spoke these lines, talking about her husband, however she was another character who could not look
Richard III Richard III is a historical play written to reflect the chaotic events of the War of Roses. However, Shakespeare is careful to do this is a secretive, indirect fashion because of the harsh punishments associated with speaking against the ruling parties. The play presents more than a history lesson. Shakespeare produces an intriguing character, Richard III, who audiences grow to admire as they watch his rise and fall during the course of the play. The appeal of Richard’s character is the most interesting aspect of this play.
