Cancer In Romeo And Juliet
Romeo is cancer
“Love is heavy and light, bright and dark, hot and cold, sick and healthy, asleep and awake- its everything except what it is! (Act 1, scene 1)” says romeo from the play Romeo and Juliet written by William Shakespeare. Romeo and juliet is a play about to star crossed lovers that have to fight through their rival families issues and hatred for each other. I argue that romeo is cancer because he is loving and overly emotional when it comes to women.
Romeo is loving to his lover Juliet where he is willing to sacrifice anything for her when he says " I take thee at thy word call me but love and i’ll be new baptized henceforth I will never be romeo”. What he is saying to juliet is, say you love me and I will change my name and never be romeo again. So romeo was willing to sacrifice anything for juliet because a fundamental for love is sacrifice. If he is willing to sacrifice his name for her this proves that he cares and loves her.
Romeo also shows love for juliet when he was willing to enter enemy

Thou desperate pilot, now at once run on The dashing rocks thy seasick, weary bark. Here’s to my love! (drinks the poison) O true apothecary, Thy drugs are quick. Thus with a kiss I die. Romeo drank the potion he bought once he found juliet’s body not knowing she was going to wake up a minute later and then juliet goes and kills herself over him.
Romeo’s astrological sign is cancer because he is a loving and but over emotional Romeo has a major role in romeo and juliet he was very loving husband. But his love lead to his and juliet's suicide. If he had never gotten in the fight with tybalt him and juliet and him could have lived happily ever after but they were doomed at the beginning so it would have never worked

    Friar John to deliver a letter to Romeo that was supposed to inform him of Juliet’s death plan. Friar Lawrence is an expert in the use of seemingly mystical potions and herbs, so he insists that Juliet would use this potion/remedy for her death plan. “If rather than to marry Paris/ I’ll give thee remedy” (ROM VI l 71-72) She drinks this to fall into a coma and pretend to be dead.

    Juliet's love for Romeo was as pure as his love for her. It was love at first sight. She was his lady and his love. Romeo called her his angel, and his saints and sadly he was right. Their love was star-crossed from the beginning, but always pure. Juliet called Romeo "the god of my idolatry" - she truly loved him. She offered him her lover's vow before he requested it. Her love for him was as deep as the sea.…

    Romeo: The son of Montague, Romeo is first introduced to us as a sad, melancholic, apathetic youth. His reason for sadness is universal; Rosaline his love will not return his affections. Not initially daring, it is his friends Mercutio and Benvolio who suggest he gatecrash or arrive uninvited at the Capulet party to see Rosaline. There he meets Juliet falling instantly in love. From this point on, Romeo no longer is melancholic, but dynamic and courageous, risking his life at the Capulet's house to be near Juliet and later breaking a banishment order which threatens death for him, to see his Juliet again. Well regarded even by Capulet, his enemy, Romeo is a thoughtful man, unwilling to provoke fighting unlike the hot-blooded, adversarial Tybalt, whom he kills. Romeo also kills Paris but in both encounters sought to avoid fighting, winning only to defend his life. At the end of the play, he commits suicide, rather than live without Juliet, the ultimate display of loyalty for his love Juliet since his life obviously no longer had meaning without her...…

    It is evident through the story of Romeo and Juliet, that the characters were unable to fulfill external requirements and needs, while also pursuing love with each other. Through Romeo, Juliet, and Lord/Lady Capulet, we can see the sacrifice that must be made. Romeo does not conform several times throughout the story. Firstly, after a street brawl at a public gas station in Verona by the Montagues and Capulets, the Prince makes a rule that there will be no street fights, and the next one would result in people being killed. Romeo had a personal desire for Tybalt because his friend Mercutio was killed by Tybalt.…

    Romeo was enraged by the death of his friend, and proceeded to lose his temper and kill Tybalt, who was the man that killed his friend. Tybalt’s death got Romeo banished, for the Prince of Verona did not condone killing, even for the purpose of revenge, “You shall not kill; and whoever kills will be liable to judgement.” (Matthew 5:21). Juliet was willing to die for Romeo, for the purpose of being a loyal wife, “I will do it without fear or doubt, To live an unstained wife to my sweet Romeo.” (4.1.85-90). Romeo and Juliet did eventually die for each other, which was devastating for those who had watched their tragic tale. Although dying for one another is a bit drastic for modern love, their are still sacrifices and pain in each…

    The love of Romeo and Juliet is portrayed as otherworldly and heavenly. They are "star-crossed lovers", with their destiny pre-determined; they and other humans have no control. Instead the control lies with fate and God. The lovers are "fortune's fools". This dependency on fate and otherworldly powers lend their love a sense of being something heavenly, "hanging in the stars". With their love, they are able to rise above their world and everyone else. Their love is a means to escape the world of reality and to create their own world of darkness. This world of darkness is their consequential deaths, because their love is "death-marked". Their love is too passionate and powerful to remain in their world, ruled by family hate and violence.…

    Romeo and Juliet is a classic play by William Shakespeare about a pair of star-crossed lovers whose passion eventually drives them to their unfortunate deaths. Since the theme in The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet is Love as a Cause of Violence, it is easy to see why Shakespeare uses that thematic focus to show how Romeo and Juliet’s love for one another affected the outcome of their relationship.…

    In the play Romeo & Juliet, Romeo tends to blame destiny and fate for all of his problems. In reality, Romeo's character is flawed. He shows this through his actions in the play. When he loves Juliet, he only shows a superficial love for her. He then loses his temper when Mercutio dies and doesn't think before he goes and kills Tybalt. After he kills Tybalt, he whines that fortune has gotten him in trouble. Romeo is not a victim of destiny or fate, he is simply a rash teenager who has made bad decisions.…

    Firstly, the language that Romeo uses makes the audience suspicious of his love. He uses quite conceit and exaggerate metaphors making it appear as though he is putting on a show. He likes the idea of being in love and, as he is young, he might not have experience true love before. The language he uses seems quite artificial and elaborate. This reinforces the idea that he is in really in love. Also midway through a speech about his love and Rosaline, his mind seems to wonder as he asks “where shall we dine?” this shows that he is thinking about food and not only about Rosaline.…
