Tomb Of Romeo And Juliet
To me the “Tomba di Giulietta” (Tomb of Juliet) is the Juliet from William Shakespeare’s drama “Romeo and Juliet” tomb. Why would someone just say that the Tomb of Juliet is the Juliet from “Romeo and Juliet” tomb. Furthermore, it specifically says that it is the tomb of juliet. Finally, why would they make the tomb and houses if the drama was fake and Juliet wasn’t actually put in the tomb. Why would someone just say the tomb was Juliet’s. People wouldn’t just say the tomb is Juliet’s because if they did less people would want to go to the Tomb of Juliet. If they just said that was Juliet’s tomb, the place would probably get shut down. Something that proves this is Juliet’s tomb is that the whole thing where the tomb is and including the tomb was made in the time of Romeo and Juliet. …show more content…
Outside there is a sign that says “Tomba di Giulietta” which means the Tomb of Juliet, so it just straight up tells you that it is Juliet’s Tomb. According to Laura Teso from the website http://mycornerofitaly.com/juliets-tomb-in-verona/, she also says it’s Juliet’s tomb. Some argue that it is not Juliet’s tomb and say it could’ve been someone else’s tomb and someone just said it was Juliet’s tomb to make money off of it. The reasoning behind this view is because it was only a story made up by William Shakespeare. Furthermore because people just wanted to make it an

    They were always pushing her towards what they thought was right for her. They let her assume that she had a say in what was going on, but as soon as Juliet disobeyed them she became a stranger. They called her a curse upon the family “That God had lent us but this only child; But now I see this one is too much, And that we have a curse in having her” (Act 3 Scene 5) and Juliet’s mother told Juliet to her face that she wouldn’t care if Juliet were to kill herself at this point. All this together could make Juliet feel like she isn’t loved so while she was in the tomb she didn’t question killing herself because to her Romeo was the only one who loved her. Juliet thinking this all while her mind was spinning with all the emotions in her mind with Romeo easily could have contributed to her feeling unwanted and killing…

    The reason be is that is when Juliet when to the Friar for help after the conflict with her parents about the marriage of Paris, and so the Friar gave the plan of faking her death with a vial that contains a substance that would seem that if she was dead. But of course in the beginning where the prologue was at, it did say “The fearful passage of their death-mark'd Love,” ("DBQ: Romeo and Juliet: Who's to Blame". Doc. A), this part of the prologue, and some other parts, show that it foreshadows the death of the two children in order to bring peace to both their families. Besides from that, Friar John also is to blame, for he has forgotten to send the word to Romeo that Juliet is faking her death and is to avoid the marriage of Paris, as his response to the Friars question if he sent the letter, Friar John said “ I could not send it,- here it is again,-” ("DBQ: Romeo and Juliet: Who's to Blame". Doc. E). So really the one to blame here is Friar John, because the idea of faking one's death to avoid their marriage would have ran smoothly if Friar John told the one person that is suppose to know,…

    After the Friar found out that both Romeo and Paris had died. He went to check on Juliet who was depressed because of the sight she was seeing. The Friar tried to persuade Juliet into coming with him to the sisterhood of holy nuns. Instead he ran away because someone was coming near Juliet’s tomb, to which caused the death of Juliet: “Come, come away. Thy husband in thy bosom there lies dead, And paris too. Come, I’ll dispose of thee, Among a sisterhood of holy. Stay not to question, for the watch is coming. Come, go, good Juliet, I dare no longer stay.” ( 5.3 166 - 171 ) and “ go, get out of here, I’m not going anywhere, ( Exit Friar Lawrence ).” ( 5.3 172 ) The quotes that were added were involved in the topic, because it shows that the Friar was too afraid and ran off without knowing the choices that he had just made. It also shows that the Friar made the error of leaving Juliet alone with Romeo’s dagger in her tomb: “O happy dagger, This is thy sheath. There rust and let me die. (stabs herself with ROMEO’s dagger and dies)” ( 5.3 182 - 184 ) as well as being too eager to leave. If he just use brute force or give her that charm then maybe she would have went with him and that the death of another child would have not…

    What I believe Romeo and Juliet should have done instead of what they actually did. In the one scene on page 766, Romeo had visited Juliet in the orchard. Someone could have seen him there and he could have been killed. In scene four, the nurse had visited Romeo, he told her “Bid her devise. Some means to come to shrift this afternoon; and there she shall at Friar Laurence's’ cell.…

    While this was happening, Juliet wiped her sleepy eyes and looked up into the face of her lover, for whom she had gone to all this trouble to "die." Romeo informed her of the intruder, and how her family would soon find out about their mischievous scheme, and so they decided to leave and booby trap the tomb, so it would seem that Romeo inflicted this curse upon Juliet's body before leaving, thus protecting Juliet's "death" and Romeo's identity, and revealing none of their impulsive and disconcerting lies.…

    In November of 1922 Howard Carter entered the tomb of King Tutankhamun to behold an entire treasure trove of “Wonderful things”. However, he reported that the tomb had been ransacked. “Chests had been rifled through and stoppers pulled from alabaster vases and thrown to the ground” (Schulz 2) In fact, according to Carter the whole tomb had been plundered multiple times very soon after its original sealing. Interestingly enough, according to the excavation licenses at the time only if the tomb had been previously defiled could the discoverer half out the country. So the motivation for lying certainly would be there.…

    After addressing the strength of the poison she moves on to investigate the motives of the Friar, contemplating the possibility that this potion he has given her is actually a poison, meant to kill her entirely to prevent himself from needing to perform a marriage on an already married woman. Juliet meditates on this for a short time, but finds that the Friar is a holy man who would not do anything of that sort. At this point Juliet begins to express her fear of the tomb itself, first wondering if there will be enough air to keep her from suffocating, then considering the dead bodies and possibility of ghosts, stressing over the effects either of these would have on her mind. Finally we see Juliet relating back to her thought of ghosts, exclaiming that she sees Tybalt, he cousin who Romeo killed. The sight of Tyblat seemingly triggers a sudden longing for Romeo, as after calling out to him, she drinks the vial in his honor, and falls…

    Many times in this play, the reader knows more about what’s going on than the characters. This is called dramatic irony, and Shakespeare has used it to manipulate the plot structure of Act 4. In Act 4, the play starts to wrap up, and any plot twists are revealed. This is also the falling action. The nurse exclaims, “ She’s dead, deceased; she’s dead!”(IV.v.23). Although the nurse does not know it, Juliet is not dead. Juliet’s faked death is a major plot twist. No one in her family knew she wasn’t actually dead. Although we know she is not dead, they do not and they bury her. Balthasar, Romeo’s servant, sees her being lowered into the tomb. He believes she is dead and tells Romeo, who goes to the tomb, kills Paris, and then himself. When Juliet wakes up, she sees Romeo is dead and kills herself. The families lack of knowledge about the true state of affairs led to the end and wrapping up of the…

    I recently conducted a statistical study to figure out how an admissions officer can determine which students are most successful in their school. The problem that most colleges face is admitting students who don’t do well. By doing this, it just leads to complications like the student failing in class and not getting a job after they graduate. Because of this, we need to determine which students are most successful at the University of West Erlham County.…
