To what degree does emotions take part in The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet? Emotions play a huge role in not just The Tragedy Romeo and Juliet, but in everyday life. They meet, they fall in love, they get married, and they kill themselves for each other all within about a three day span, they claim it was love at first sight but does that really exist? We know this won’t happen in our modern world, but some people do claim that their significant other was love at first sight, why do we feel such strong emotions for someone we’d never met? Emotions can either make or break you, but in Romeo and Juliet’s case, it did both.…
The overall tone that Anna Quindlen creates is that of injustice, a kind of Romeo and Juliet story to be performed against the backdrop of forbidden freedom and a war based on prejudice against those who differ from us. Quindlen uses language to produce this tone by employing primarily pathos (emotion) and secondly and very limited, logic. Though an ethos style would be of great use to persuade her target audience and move the reader to her point of view, the Undocumented, Indispensable essay lacked this style, unfortunately. Instead, Quindlen’s focus on emotion/pathos leaves the reader feeling defensive and less sadness or pity which would be more of the goal with the well-done use of pathos.…

Teen Rebellion is common in “The Lion King 2” and the play “Romeo and Juliet”. I think this because in the play Romeo and Juliet, Romeo and Juliet are both from different feuding families (Capulets and Montagues), but end up falling in love. In The Lion King, Kovu and Kiara are from opposite families (Pridelanders and Outsiders) but like Romeo and Juliet, they fall in love with each other.
