Romeo And Juliet Monologue Analysis
In his most heart-wrenching tragedy, Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare uses monologue in order to reveal forgiveness within Juliet and to convey the message that true love can conquer any obstacles life puts forth. In his play he establishes the two main teenage lovers, Romeo and Juliet, who fall madly in love at first sight and get married extremely quickly. Romeo, who was very eager to marry, got into a feud with Tybalt, Juliet's cousin, and ended up killing him. Romeo is then banished from Verona and Juliet had to know if “Tybalt’s death was woe enough if it had ended there” (Romeo and Juliet 3.2.125-26) to forgive Romeo, “Or, if sour woe delights in fellowship and needly will be ranked with other griefs” (3.2.127-28). During the monologue

    Throughout time people have believed that others are motivated by just basic needs and rewards/punishments. However, in the book Drive by Daniel H. Pink, Pink claims that people are not just motivated by basic needs and rewards/punishments. They are also motivated intrinsically. Pink quotes scientist Bob Wolf, “Wolf uncovered a range of motives, but they found that enjoyment-based intrinsic motivation, namely how creative a person feels when working on the project, is the strongest and most pervasive driver” (Pink 21). In this quote Pink proves his point by citing a scientist that has states that intrinsic motivation is the not only a motivation, but the strongest motivation.

    Wisely and slow, they stumble that run fast” (Shakespeare 2.3.99). This quote by Friar Lawrence in William Shakespeare’s play, Romeo and Juliet, perfectly sums up two different types of relationships. One of which is represented by Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet, who run fast into their love even though their families have a seemingly unending feud. They attempt to keep their relationship secret, which causes complications and ultimately ends in their death that barriers their families feud. A similar, but slower, relationship, which is the second type, is formed as a friendship between Lennie and George, in Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, who are ranch hands that end up working on a farm in the Salinas Valley. They spend the majority of their lives together, George, small and smart, and Lennie, bigger but less intelligent, until trouble with a man on the ranch named Curley and his wife leads to George killing Lennie. When the two texts are compared, George and Lennie have a stronger relationship, because they always care for each other, they have trust, and their relationship is based off of friendship, while on the other hand Romeo and Juliet’s relationship is developed off of regretted actions, infatuation, and empty words.…

    The ending of Romeo & Juliet was not very satisfying in terms of how happy it was. William Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet has many moments that could be changed, in order to result in a happier more satisfying ending. A few of these events would be for Mercutio to not get in a fight and get killed. And another event would be for Juliet to wake before Romeo Drinks the poison. Either one of these event changes could independently result in a more conclusive satisfying ending.…

Now all this fighting has led to the death of a child from each of their families. Romeo and Juliet are dead because of this ludicrous feud, but I will pray for them none the less. I feel as though it is my fault, that I caused all of this, but they are still children of the Lord and it is my duty to look after all of them.

    Context has been a major faction contributing to the way Romeo and Juliet was written. In William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, Baz Luhrmann produced a Romeo and Juliet with a modern context rather than an Elizabethan context. Context has influenced the language and representation of ideas throughout Romeo and Juliet, notably with the themes: Loyalty Vs. Disloyalty, Power and inequality. These themes have changed the way Romeo and Juliet was written and put them into a different context.…

    The feud, the cause of tension between the Montagues and Capulets, puts the characters into situations that occur because fate steps in. Romeo is put into one such situation when his closest friend Mercutio is killed by Tybalt. In a fit of blind rage, Romeo is “forced” to kill Tybalt out of loyalty to Mercutio, not something he originally planned to do: ‘I do protest I never injured thee,/ But love thee better than thou canst devise’ (III, i, 65-66). This leads to his banishment. In desperation, the lovers turn to Friar Lawrence for help. But things do not go as planned and Romeo and Juliet kill themselves. Romeo believes that ‘there is no world without Verona’s walls’ (III, iii, 17), and no world without his Juliet. Thus, although they took their lives out of their own free will, the love brought upon by fate overpowered rational thinking. Preferring death to life apart, Juliet declares: ‘Prodigious birth of love it is to me,/That I must love a loathed enemy’ (I, v, 139-40), an example of how fate has dealt them opposing families which would never allow them to be…

    Shakespeare through the use of symbol, demonstrates how light can describe love and darkness can denote hate: “Some consequences yet hanging in the stars…night's revels, and expire the term of a despised life closed in…vile forfeit of untimely death.” (p. 49 lines 114-118). For the theme asserted by the diction suggest there is two paths to follow in one’s life, one of love and the other of hate different in nature but both similarly led to the same destination even though they are encompassed by different events and actions. The diction “night revels” symbolizes, darkness through night, can create a force consuming the sky. However, the word “stars” can present a symbol suggesting light can penetrate this darkness, shining through as small sparks of light in the…

    In Romeo and Juliet I feel there is various themes such as; being honest, moving too fast, and needing to be more mature. The main theme I see throughout this Novel is how they need to be more of an adult, and knowing how to handle the situation better. The main example I have is when Juliet finds out Romeo is a Montague, and Romeo finds out Juliet is capulet, then they hide it from there parents. A connection I have with that isn’t major or crazy like that, but one time I knew Brandon was going somewhere he wasn’t suppose to and I lied to my parents. I told them he was going to his friends house, but he was really going over to his girlfriends. When they told him not to.…
