Verona Teenagers Commit Suicide

The bodies of Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet were found today in the Capulet tomb. Romeo had taken a poison, and Juliet stabbed herself with Romeo’s dagger. But the question is why? It all begins with the feuding Montagues and Capulets. Romeo and his friends sneak into a Capulet party, where Romeo meets and falls in love with Juliet. With the help of Friar Lawrence, who hopes to reconcile the families, they are secretly married the next day. Juliet’s cousin Tybalt, who hates the Montagues more than anyone, challenges Romeo to a fight. Romeo refuses. Mercutio is offended by the way Tybalt treats them and accepts the fight on Romeo’s behalf. Mercutio ends up getting killed. Romeo loses his self control and kills Tybalt in return, which leads to his exile by the Prince. He threatens to execute Romeo if he returns. Juliet is distressed. The Capulets misinterpret it, and threaten to disown her if she does not marry Paris. Friar Lawrence gives Juliet a potion that will put her in a death like state. Balthasar, unaware of the plan, gives Romeo false news that Juliet is dead. Heartbroken, Romeo purchases a poison and goes to the Capulet tomb where he murders Paris. Still believing Juliet to be dead, Romeo drinks the poison which kills him instantly. Juliet awakens, finding Romeo dead beside her, and stabs herself. The families are reconciled by the deaths of their children and agree to end their violent feud.
Most naturally occurring earthquakes are related to the tectonic nature of the Earth. Such earthquakes are called tectonic earthquakes. The Earth's lithosphere is a patchwork of plates in slow but constant motion caused by the release to space of the heat in the Earth's mantle and core. The heat causes the rock in the Earth to flow on geological timescales, so that the plates move slowly but surely. Plate boundaries lock as the plates move past each other, creating frictional stress. When the frictional stress

    If it weren't for Romeo’s actions, both he and Juliet would have never fallen in love, and never ended up taking their own lives. Romeo is most at fault for his death and the death of Juliet because Romeo should have listened to Friar Lawrence. He should not have fallen in love with Juliet so easily, and he should have respected the feud between the two families and stayed away from the Capulets.…

    After the lovers finally marry, a terrible fight ensues in which Tybalt kills Mercutio, and as a result, Romeo kills Tybalt. The Prince recently decreed that any more public fights between the Capulet and Montague families would result in punishment by death, and as Tybalt was a Capulet and Romeo is a Montague, it looks as though Romeo should be executed. Instead, the Prince lessens the sentence to banishment, as Mercutio, one of his kinsmen, was among the casualties. Friar Lawrence delivers this wonderful news, but to Romeo, but the youth provides a less than happy response.Instead of being grateful and working with the situation, Romeo complains and insists that banishment is worse than death, even though he will still see his true love and family. Later, he even throws himself on the ground crying, and threatens suicide. Unless he gets exactly what he wants, it is the end of the world for poor Romeo. Similarly, Juliet becomes extremely dramatic when problems arise. After dealing with Romeo’s banishment, her parents try to make Juliet happy again, but get the wrong idea for her happiness. They decide to arrange a marriage between her and a rich Count, not knowing she is already married to someone she loves. After a brutal argument between Juliet and her parents, the young woman quickly goes to the Friar. Instead of calmly explaining the situation Juliet, enters and demands. Although she does…

    “I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent” (Mahatma Ghandi). This quote says that violence can solve problems but only temporarily, the solution is never permanent. In many situations violence has sparked more violence, not just in Romeo and Juliet but in real life situations. William Shakespeare manages to take real-life themes and incorporates them into his plays. He brought the theme of violence creating more violence in Romeo and Juliet by making the two families, the Capulets and the Montagues, use violence as the solution to their problems concerning each other.…

    It’s not uncommon for young children to look up to their elders for advice or guidance in a tough situation, but being misguided in a conflict can lead to an even larger predicament. In the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, the death of main characters can be rooted at the deluded advice from supposedly wise mentors. These mentors were Friar Lawrence and the Nurse, whose intentions were pure, but whose advice could be considered otherwise. Friar Lawrence and the Nurse unintentionally mislead Romeo and Juliet, which ultimately was the driving force behind the extreme actions they made throughout the play. This misleading advice is shown when Friar Lawrence marries Romeo and Juliet, when the Nurse gives Juliet marriage advice, and when Friar Lawrence convinced Juliet to fake her death.…

    Romeo and Juliet

    ‘Romeo and Juliet’ is a play wherein laid a tragedy, written by Shakespeare featuring two star cross’d lover. Despite the fact that it's suppose to be a love story, the prologue, written in the form of a sonnet, emits a heavy, sombre atmosphere and foreshadows the rest of the play, focusing on the negative aspects of love and outlining the tragic outcome of such an emotion – rejecting the idea that love overcomes all that the typical love story undertakes. The sonnet contains alternate rhyming couplets and an iambic pentameter which would provide comfort for the Elizabethan audience as they would find familiarity in such a rhythm. It sets forth a scene of dramatic irony for the characters as Romeo and Juliet is oblivious to the consequences of their simple love when the audience themselves had been enlightened. The sonnet began with informing us that the play would be about ‘two households, both alike in dignity’ which meant that they are both similar in terms of their high status and noble birth. Perhaps this would appeal to the Elizabethan audience as humans usually take joy in higher beings' fall from grace. The phrase ‘ancient grudge’ implies that their adversity of the other were so old that the reason for their hatred had already been forgotten – they’re only now fighting for the sake of it. This increases the play’s tragedy as the ‘children’s end’, which emphasis on their innocent youth, could’ve been avoided if not for the two households fruitless affray.…
