However, in spite of the many differences, there are similarities between the two stories. Romeo and Juliet and “Teen Couple Executed by their Parents…for daring to fall in love,” both involve the deaths of the couples all happening at a young age, all of them dying before the age of 19 before any of their parents died. Throughout both stories a common factor is that the couples were forced to make adult decisions about their lives and love lives; while, the adults around them were making many poor decisions. Unlike many love stories where the strong, handsome male saves the damsel in distress, the female protagonists in both of these stories appeared to be stronger than their male counterparts. Maybe that is why when the time came, both mothers…
Romeo and Juliet is hailed as a staple of romantic literature, with beautiful prose and loving relationships. However, while its language is eloquent, Romeo and Juliet’s relation is the antithesis of a good relationship. Any relationship which involves both parties ending up dead within a few days of meeting each other is probably not healthy. It’s clear both of them rushed into it based on superficial reasons and stupidity ended it early.…
Next, the Montagues and Capulets keep fighting despite what the Prince says which eventually leads to Romeo’s exile.

(I i 6), nor it is about celestial symbolism hinting fate as the manipulator of “civil blood” (I I 4) “in fair Verona” (I i 2). Instead, Romeo and Juliet portrays a love not for another, but a love of unhealthy obsession, for the sins of the minds true desires. Desires disguised as love, unity, and wit, but when uncloaked the sins of lust, division, and malice begin to materialize.…
Romeo is the son and heir of Montague and Lady Montague but is also best friends with Mercutio and his cousin Benvolio. Romeo has a stronger bond to Friar Lawrence than he does with his parent and this makes the Friar the father figure of Romeo just like how the nurse is for Juliet. Verona respected and loved him; in addition, he was also a handsome man who falls easily in and out of love. During the play, Romeo’s character evolves from adolescence to adulthood as a result of his love for Juliet and his inherited involvement in the feud between the Capulets and Montagues.…

“A pair of star crossed lovers take their life.” Everyone has heard this quote before, even if they have not even read or seen the play. Throughout history the play Romeo and Juliet is called the world's most beloved story ever. One of the reason they have this label is because people say it was fate and chance they met and fell in love. Another theory that contrasts the original one would be that their story was not caused by the stars, but rather each character and actions they choose adding on to the grief during the end of the story. Over a period of time by reading more of the play the context would just prove that theory. Then while watching both movies they just verified the theory thus making it legitimate. Most people…
In the essay Living Like Weasels, Annie Dillard argues that a person should live life with a purpose and with tenacity like the Weasel does. The essay begins with Dillard describing how a Weasel has a tenacity to hold on to a prey’s neck or when it feels in danger, and would accept death at the talons of an eagle to keep his tenacity alive. Dillard goes on to describe her walk to Murray’s pond her favorite place to be in nature to forget about the world as she is relaxing on a tree trunk a Weasel appears in front of her. The encounter left the two dumbfounded for a brief moment in time; furthermore, the encounter left Annie to wonder how a Weasel thinks. Dillard acquires a new insight on how a Weasel lives as he should, by necessity, and she suspects that is the answer to live by for her. Dillard states, “I missed my chance. I should have gone for the throat.” indicating her opportunity to change her live may have already passed; she uses this example to support her statement that people should live the way they want “yielding to their necessity”, rather than by choice. Dillard concludes with telling the reader to grasp to their necessity and live the way they want to, for not even death can tear you apart when you have chosen how you want to live, just like the eagle did not tear the Weasel a part from his…

But if there was a change in the events and characters, their deaths could have been avoided easily. If it were not for the families feud, then the two could have been together without having to rebel and undermine authority. Without Capulets forceful nature and pressure on Juliet, she would have never felt the need to do anything that she did. If Romeo had not been so quick to act on his heart and not his mind, then the lover’s suicide would not have happened, and they would have lived happily ever after. All of these things brought to the downfall of Romeo and…
"One word frees us of all the weight and pain in life. That word is love". That quote is attributed to the Greek philosopher, Sophocles, and while it may be true in some cases, this is not true in Romeo and Juliet. As evidenced in Romeo and Juliet, by the Immortal Bard, William Shakespeare, Mercutio, Juliet, and Romeo all have different views on love, which influences their decisions. Mercutio does not believe in love for himself, but he does believe in carnal desire; Juliet believes in love but not marriage until she meets Romeo; and Romeo believes love is a horse – the minute you fall off, you get right back on.…
