Examples Of Irony In Romeo And Juliet

I will choose irony deployed towards the end of the reading. In the reading Romeo finds Juliet in the tome believing that she has passed away. So he downs poison telling here that he will be with her forever. Following this she wakes up in his dying moments. Since the love of her life is gone now she chooses to join him in death and stabs her self. This is a very tragic story said to be a love story. Things just go wrong at every corner and nothing played out like that thought for the most part the main characters and supporting characters die. The irony in it all Romeo and Juliet is set to be a romantic story which really is a story about two families that hate each other and in between all this hate love tries to make its way through to change
the views of others and everything goes terribly wrong.

Comparing Romeo and Juliet to Romeo must die is a long shot. First thing is there names were not even Romeo and Juliet so I don’t see how they could be playing these characters or how they came up with the name. The conflict of the story was somewhat along the lines of what happened with some twist. They started off with the brother’s death, which I would relate that Tybalt killing Mercutio since Romeo ends up killing him. In the movie remake jet li that is playing the role of Romeo’s brother is killed and he ends up finding out his father had planned the murder and ended up killing his brothers killer. It’s a long stretch to compare these films I think the only thing that lines up is that fact that the families hate each other there is no real way to fix the problem because the struggle is over power and neither wants to bow to the other. It seems like they took parts of the story and kept them but rearranged everything so it wouldn’t be exactly like the original story and made a happy ending.
