Differences Between Romeo And Juliet
1 Chase Kuykendall4/4/2018Assignment 2.6 Our differences do not define us, what defines us is how we act, and how we portray ourselves. If you acted out, and foolish you would be defined as a fool. Just because of your 50 years old, doesn’t mean that you don’t like the same thing as let’s say a 29 year old. Or because you have a dark color of skin, or a white skin, we all are the same on the inside, and that’s all that matters. The only way we define ourselves is the way you act in life, if you act a fool people will perceive you as such, or if you act like a kind hearted person, people will be attracted to youbecause of the energy you put off. If anyone tries to say you’re defined by your differences they are surely incorrect, I’ve met people in their late 40’s that like to play video games, just like the people in their teens, and pre-teens enjoy video …show more content…
"O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo? / Deny thy father and refuse thy name. / or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love/ and I'll no longer be a Capulet." Act 2, Scene 2, lines 33-6; this quote defined Romeo and Juliet’s love for each other, this quote basically implies that shewill change from a Capulet to a Montague, because that’s how deeply she loves Romeo. They only knew each other for a day, but they loved each other like they’ve known each other all their life. "A plague o' both your houses!" Act 3, Scene 1, line 90; this quote did not define them, because Romeo and Juliet did not care, all they cared about was the love they have for one another, Juliet literally killed herself with Romeos dagger, because she didn’t want to spend the rest of her life with anyone else. Everyone in the Montague house, and the Capulet house didn’taccept their love. I chose Romeo. I would have approached the situation the same as he did, he truly loved Juliet, and why else would he go that length

    The Zeffirelli and Luhrmann versions of William Shakespeare’s timeless tragedy, Romeo and Juliet, are similar in several ways. One way that they’re similar is at the beginning of Act I, scene i, Samson and Gregory are at the public place in Verona are talking. When they see the servants to the Montague’s walk by the Capulets servants, one of them bite their thumb at them. Another thing that is similar is when they draw their swords in the Zeffirelli version. In the Luhrmann version, they have guns that are known as “swords” but which are drawn in both versions of Shakespeare's play. In the Luhrmann version, the “swords” they use is a gun. On the clip of the gun, it says Montague or Capulet depending on who the servants belong to. In the Zeffirelli version of the play, the actors would use real swords in the fight scenes. To conclude, there are multiple similarities of William Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet.…

    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...…

    “Romeo and Juliet” is a story about two star crossed lovers who meet by fate.

    William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet is the tragic tale of “a pair of star-crossed lovers,” (1.Prologue.6). Fate brought them together, and ripped them apart within three days. The lovers came from two feuding families who hated each other. Romeo, a Montague, was encouraged by his friend Mercutio to attend Capulet’s party, where he met Juliet, a Capulet, and they fell in love right away. They married the next day, but Capulet had already promised Juliet to County Paris, a wealthy man who he approved of. Meanwhile, Romeo had been banished because he murdered Tybalt, a Capulet, in revenge for killing Mercutio. Juliet went to Friar Laurence for help because she did not love Paris and was already married to Romeo. He gave her a potion that would…

    Eulogy for Romeo

    • 611 Words
    • 3 Pages

    I first knew Romeo as a little boy, born into a family in a harsh, long-lasting feud with the Capulet household. Over the years, I served as a mentor to him. He would often come to my cell to confide his problems to me. It was through these talks that I befriended him and instilled upon him the fundamentals of life. I taught him to disregard the conflict between his family and the Capulets, and to always acquire new friends, not enemies. Romeo turned out to be a polite, kind, and caring young man. He was also a very solitary young man; he would rather take walks through the sycamore trees than run around with his friends. One day, Romeo visited me in order to seek my advice. He was lovesick and depressed that Rosaline didn’t return the love he felt for her, and that she decided to become a nun. Sympathetically, I counseled him and advised him, as his friends Mercutio and Benvolio did, to find another woman in Verona. Romeo was still lovesick, but before long, Romeo was back yet again; this time barring good news. Romeo had found a new love, and this time, the feeling of love was mutual. I remember Romeo saying such words as, “Then plainly know my heart’s dear love is set on the fair daughter of rich Capulet: As mine on hers, so hers is set on mine; And all combined, save what thou must combine” (2. 3. 57-60).…

    Since most McDonalds have the same menu, it provides an easy economy of scale. McDonalds has more than 32,000 restaurants around the world (Economies of scale). When McDonalds places an order, they don’t go and buy individual items, they receive them from a local wholesaler just like any other independent restaurant (Economies of scale). “McDonald’s is the world’s largest buyer of eggs; therefore they are able to negotiate the very best unit cost per egg during their enormous volume purchase and passing those savings onto their franchise owners” (Economies of scale). Since McDonalds receives the best price, they are able to place a egg sandwich together and sell it to their customers for a competitive price (Economies of scale). Bulk buying for McDonald’s helps in the long run because they save money for purchasing merchandise at lower unit prices instead of purchasing from an independent business which would be higher (Economies of scale).…

Most of the time these things are decided for us. We cannot choose our height or eye color. There are other aspects beyond physical to be acknowledged as well. We each have our own unique perspectives of literally everything based on our own lives. My life was forever changed the day I was marked forever.…

    The first instance of this overpowering love occurs at meeting; Romeo and Juliet experience the cliché of “love at first sight.” Romeo goes to the Capulet’s supper in search of his love Rosaline, but suddenly after arriving he is distracted with the beauty of Juliet. He describes her beauty as “too good for words,” and that she is “too beautiful to die and buried.” He then begins to question if he ever even loved Rosaline because he has never seen true beauty before laying eyes on Juliet. Romeo goes to introduce himself to Juliet and greets her with a kiss. The two are unaware that they are the children of the others worst enemy, until the Nurse informs Romeo who Juliet’s father is. Another occasion where consuming love takes place is the night of their meeting when Romeo flies over the walls of the Capulet’s residence and stands below Juliet’s balcony. Juliet was oblivious that Romeo had been listening to her private thoughts when she hears him respond and questions who he is. She recognizes the sound of his voice and questions if him if he is Romeo, a Montague. Romeo replies “I am neither of those things if you dislike them.” During this time your family name was everything. By Romeo saying he will forsake his family for Juliet it shows just how much he truly loves Juliet even after such a short period of time. A final occurrence of this love is after Friar Lawrence secretly marries Romeo and Juliet. Tybalt, a Capulet and a cousin of Juliet’s is looking for Romeo and challenges him to a fight. Romeo admits that he has a reason to love Tybalt that puts aside his anger. Romeo tells Tybalt “Capulet- which is…

    Firstly, Romeo and Juliet's love is not only just doomed by world around it but by progressing so quickly from their first meeting to expressing their actual love for each other. Their love is not only affected by the fighting of the two houses but also by their immediate love for each other. Furthermore, Romeo and Juliet are both supposedly in other love situations, Romeo is meant to be with Rosaline. However, as soon as he sees Juliet he falls for her looks and is deeply in love not knowing a thing about her. He describes her as ‘a rich jewel in an Ethiope's ear. Beauty is too rich for use'. (Act 1, Scene 5, Lines 45-46) The intensity is also shown through their conversation as Romeo says 'To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.' (Act 1, Scene 5, Line 95) It is then shown through their kiss after Romeo says 'Thus from my lips, by thine, my sin is purg'd' (Act 1 Scene 5, line 105) and 'Give me my sin again' (Act 1, Scene 5, Line 109). Furthermore, the intensity of their love at first sight is shown by Juliet, after Romeo leaves the party, she finds out that he is a Montague she accepts her fate after less than 24 hours of knowing Romeo, 'O dear account! my life is my foe's debt.' (Act 1, Scene 5, Line 118) Juliet acknowledges that her life is in an enemy’s hand but she is ready to die for their love.…

    The Montagues and Capulets did not get along. If someone found out they were married. Most likely, they would have been disowned. They did this because they truly loved each other. In the prologue it says that Romeo and Juliet were not meant for each other as their two families were feuding.…
