the Montagues and the Capulets. There are very few light hearted moments throughout the text and any of those that exist involve Mercutio‚ a kinsman of the King. By the end of the play six characters have died‚ many of them needlessly. Mercutio and Paris‚ two kinsmen of the King needlessly die even though they are not directly involved in the feud. The way the story unravels is also highly tragic as the deaths and downfall of the various characters could have been avoided and were all a consequence

Question: In retrospect was the European court of justice correct when it stated that in Van Gend en Loos (1963) a new legal order had been created? Discuss. The judgement in Van Gend en Loos has undoubtedly had a huge impact upon the European Union and the way that it functions. The European Court of Justice (ECJ) claimed that the judgement had established a “new legal order” whether this is true is debatable but it is certainly a fundamental case in EU case law. The phrase “new legal order” was first

the strict interference of the gods. From the beginning‚ even though it is not part of the Aeneid‚ we see the interference of the gods as Helen falls in love with the handsome Paris with the help of Aphrodite. Even though Helen is married to one of the most powerful king of Greece she cannot help but fall in love with Paris. Later on we see another episode of the interference of the gods when Laocoon‚ a Trojan priest‚ threw a spear at the horse that was left on the gates of Troy. Shortly after twin

‘German aggression was responsible for the outbreak of a general European war in August 1914.’ How far do you agree with this judgement? The above judgement outlines a clear debate among historians as to whether German aggression was the main reason the First World War began in August 1914‚ or whether it was due to various other factors. Gordon Corrigan claims that it was due to German aggression and therefore represents the closest argument to the one made in the question. Corrigan also references

I believe that the first one we watched‚ the Franco Zeffirelli version‚ was a better retelling of the play. Even though things like the death of Paris and the death of Lady Montague were taken out of it‚ they were also taken out of the more modern one‚ so that has nothing to do with the decision about which is better. The first one did a much better job of immersing you in the story and making you feel like you were in the exact time period that it would have taken place in. The older version also
