Romeo and Juliet - theme love
The author, William Shakespeare, efficiently employs various events and characters in the play, Romeo and Juliet, to convey that love conquers all. Through manipulation of Act 2, Scene 2, also renowned as the 'Balcony Scene’, Shakespeare effectively demonstrates how Romeo and Juliet’s love surmounts numerous things, in the play. Additionally, Shakespeare portrays that/how the strength of Romeo’s love for his murdered friend Mercutio, creates a desire for revenge despite potentially receiving death penalty; displaying that Romeo’s love for his friend conquers the fear of death. Furthermore, the final scene also depicts how love triumphs over the terror of death and how the Montague and Capulet parents’ mutual love for their children, Romeo and Juliet, dismisses their ancient feud. Using these events and characters, Shakespeare accentuates his central message that love conquers all.
Shakespeare establishes how Romeo and Juliet’s love for one another surmounts all, in the famous ‘Balcony Scene’. Regardless of their parents being sworn enemies, Romeo secretly visits the Capulet mansion to see his beloved Juliet. As both Romeo and Juliet originate from opposing families, they “deny thy father, and refuse thy name” (Page 89; Act 2, Scene 2), by dishonourably neglecting all loyalty to their parents to see each other; indicating that their loyalty to their family is inferior to their love for one another. Despite if Juliet’s “kinsmen find thee (Romeo) here they will murder thee” (Page 89; Act 2, Scene 2), Romeo is determined to receive affirmation that Juliet’s feelings are mutual. Through this encounter of Romeo risking being murdered in order to see his love Juliet, Shakespeare demonstrates that their love has greater importance than the possibility of being seen and murdered. Shakespeare efficiently contributes Romeo and Juliet in the ‘Balconey Scene’ to promote that love conquers all.
Through exploitation of Romeo, Shakespeare articulates how Romeo’s love for his
