Love And Death Vs. Romeo And Juliet
7-5-13
Love and Death vs. Romeo and Juliet Romeo and Juliet is one of Shakespeare’s most famous work of literature. The classic tale of love is about two families, the Montague family and Capulet family, torn apart by and old rivalry, and a boy and girl in love. Both teens are a member of the two different families. In the midst of the ongoing feud between the families, the two main characters, Romeo and Juliet, share a sacred love affair. Multiple motifs are brought about again and again up until the final page. Of these motifs, Love and Death are highly illuminated; they ultimately show that love can be surrounded by death and hatred.

They are married, the Montague and Capulet family are together in one unit; yet the families’ long-lasting rivalry still wages on. Romeo kills Tybalt in a violent encounter on the street, and Benvolio is also killed in the quarrel. Romeo’s punishment enlisted by the Prince is banishment from the city. He spends one more night with his beloved Juliet before he faces his ruling. One of the most memorable, symbolic moments in this act is the morning Romeo is bound to be away from Verona, facing his banishment. As Romeo and Juliet are saying goodbye he makes his descent from Juliet’s quarters. Juliet notices something and makes a thoughtful remark. “Methinks I see thee, now thou art so low, /As one dead in the bottom of a tomb /Either my eyesight fails or thou lookest pale” (III.v.55-57). The tragic fate of Romeo and Juliet is foreshadowed. This quote is very symbolic because Romeo and Juliet are never to see each other alive again. It is ironic that Juliet says that Romeo appears to look pale, and he says the same about her because they actually die together inside the tomb in the end.
The dramatic conclusion to Romeo and Juliet is again, brought up and foreshadowed in multiple sections of the book. It is unfortunate that the unconditional love of the couple turns out to be the death of them. When they mention to
