Romeo and Juliet was a tragedy. At the end of the play two young innocent lives were lost because of an old family feud between the Capulets and the Montagues. Perhaps several characters played a minor role in these tragic events but I believe that Lord Capulet‚ Juliet’s own father‚ was ultimately responsible for her death. In his selfishness and rage he separated his daughter from the one man she truly loved and also rejected his own daughter for disobeying his commands. These two factors let

This male domination is shown in the play through Lord Capulet’s relationships between his wife‚ daughter and other members of his family. This patriarchal domination makes him very powerful and makes other characters in the play weaker by comparison. This power is very important in determining the outcome of the play. The portrayal of Lord Capulet’s character‚ shows him as one who has the power to tell others what to do as well as having complete power over his household and what happens in his

I’m so full of joy. It’s because of a call From a three-year-old boy. I was riding along Alone in my car‚ When I heard my cell phone Ringing from afar. After I reached it And answered the call‚ I then heard the sweetest Sound of them all. With a deep‚ raspy voice Sounding very loud‚ He wanted to tell me Why he was so proud. Too innocent to know That the subject matter‚ If discussed in some circles‚ Would cause drinks to splatter! But he warmed my heart As we talked to each other. I was glad

Fowls. I crumple the note in my fist. Dried crimson holes replace her eyeballs‚ multiple slash marks cover her abdomen and chest and her limbs are scattered around her body. She lost her chance to be loved by her people. But did she also become the lord of the flies? The space surrounding the body becomes desolate as I saunter towards the dead decaying soldier. I inch closer and closer to the body unfazed by the hideous sight. Sadness‚ grief‚ shock are foreign emotions to me. Numbness turns to anger

It’s been ages since things were last normal. All we saw was a bright light and life as we knew it came to an end. There was no warning‚ no signs‚ or perhaps we were just too blind to see them‚ too stubborn to awknowledge them. Few of us even know how long it’s been. Most have lost track of time and‚ the ones who haven’t truly wish they had. If I ever met someone smart enough to give an explanation I would gladly pass it forward. All we know is humans were the only ones who survived it. Without

It’s been 6 years since I got back from that dreaded island. I turned 18 yesterday and somehow I still see the dead every day in my sleep. I think about how I could have saved them. I could have taken the knives for Simon‚ I’d have been better off dead than he. And Piggy… he had always been my best friend on that island… I had always taken him for granted. I could have pushed him out of the way! I could have done something. But it’s too late now. I’m sure everyone has forgotten by now… I heard that

I think Lord and Lady Capulet got what they deserve when Juliet “died”. Neither of them spent time with her so they didn’t make a family bond so the family was distant. The nurse knew more things about Juliet than Lord or Lady Capulet. Lord Capulet also forced Juliet to marry Paris when she didn’t want to and threatened her to do it or else he would disown her. Lines 160-164 “Hang Thee‚ young baggage! Disobedient wretch! I tell thee what. Get to thee church o’ Thursday Or never look me in the face”
