Romeo and Juliet: An Anthem(È«ÎÄÓôÊҪͳһ) of Life
Abstract Shakespeare¡¯s Romeo and Juliet does not coincide with Aristotle¡¯s tragic theories; it is more like a comedy. During the period when feudalism was declining, humanism was not totally established. Some obstinate feudalist conventions such as blood revenge still existed in the former big feudal families, and became the last fortress to struggle. Feud idea was not only laughed at by the citizens who had accepted the new ideology, but abandoned by the younger generation in those big families. This love story, based on this background, presents a striking contrast to the suffocating old thinking. During a series of conflicts with their fathers, this couple¡¯ maturity in youth, love and their paean of life are gradually revealed until these two hearts twinkling in the darkness get married in a shocking way. They, therefore, demonstrate their warm-hearted pursuits and powerful strugglings in order to win the Renaissance mode of love, friendship, happiness and coordination, and death here symbolizes both the doom of the old system and the beginning of new life.
