Romeo & Juliet Jane Eyre
In Romeo and Juliet and Jane Eyre we are as the audience presented with an assortment of love difficulties, through the use of a variety of literary devices such as sonnets, dramatic irony and dialogue, used by both William Shakespeare and Charlotte Bronte.
To introduce the play a sonnet is used by William Shakespeare as the prologue of Romeo and Juliet. Throughout the prologue the audience is made aware vaguely of the various themes the play will accommodate. The first line, “Two households both alike in dignity” indicates that there are two households, the term “alike in dignity” used to show that they are both of the same social advancement. The fact that there has been perpetual animosity between the two families is then revealed from the quote “from ancient grudge break to new mutiny”. The word “mutiny” is used by Shakespeare to indicate that there has been a rebellion against the primary participants of the strife itself. As an audience we soon discover that the play possesses an element of romance from the term “star-crossed lovers”. The expression “star-crossed” is used to redefine fatal in terms of astrology to suggest that their destiny was governed by the stars for their love to be both inevitable and doomed. To confirm that our protagonists are unable to overcome their fate and that the outcome will be tragic, Shakespeare claims that they will indeed both perish due to suicide as noted on the 6th line; “a pair of star-crossed lovers take their life.” So far from the prologue we are made aware that hate kismet, and death are some of the main difficulties of love Romeo and Juliet are compelled to endure.
Before Romeo and Juliet are made cognizant of the fact that they should hate each other in the eyes of their families, the audience is granted with an outlook of the nature of their love. Throughout the scene Romeo and Juliet appear to have in fact been destined for each other, judging from the nature of their harmonizing words and almost synchronized
