fate of two young "star-crossed lovers" (Prologue‚ l. 6). The play focuses on romantic love‚ specifically the intense passion that springs up at first sight between Romeo and Juliet and the deaths of the two characters because of their eternal love for each other. While there could be various reasons for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet‚ it is obvious that both the two households and significantly Old Capulet play the greatest roles in the tragedy due to their ancient family feud and Capulet’s overwhelming

This essay will explain why Friar Laurence‚ Nurse and to a lesser extent Mercutio‚ caused the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. Friar Laurence is at fault for causing this catastrophe. Friar Laurence is one of many who should have guided Romeo and Juliet’s love into a more stable situation. It was the Friar who married these two young adults after they had only known each other for

When something goes wrong people tend to put the blame on anyone or anything besides themselves. In the crucible the blame is put on innocent women and this created mass hysteria and paranoia in the village. Kristallnacht was a night of violence that created mass hysteria and fear among the innocent Jews‚ just as Abigail did in The Crucible. In Germany the economy was not going well and they needed somebody to blame. The chose group to get the blame were the Jews. Somehow it was all their fault and

Is Pride to Blame in the Antigone tragedy? The fate of Creon is sealed by his decision to make an example of his niece‚ and quickly becomes tragic in Antigone. Creon shows us his lack of leadership skills by creating situations in which he loses the respect of his advisors‚ and the love of his family. The inability to overcome foolish pride is Creon’s greatest fault and the direct cause of his fall from grace. Initially‚ the author uses foreshadowing to hint at the upcoming turn of events.

First of all‚ she is the most responsible for Romeo and her self’s death because she took the potion that Friar Lawrence gave when there were many other options. The next reason is that she put too much trust in Friar Lawrence’s plan to bring Romeo and Juliet together. The last reason I believe she was to blame was that she was the

I believe that the two characters who are really essential to the plotline are Tybalt and Mercutio‚ two conflicting characters whose argument sets the play and its characters to another level of urgency. Though Mercutio and Tybalt share certain character traits‚ they are mostly opposites and can be juxtaposed to show the layers of contrast and complexity in each character.

The supernatural is frightening to some people‚ but to others a way of life. It just depends on the way people look at the supernatural. Some people may see it as the world afterlife or life after death. To the people that see it as evil might think of it as a way of controlling someone.

This is the small summary of Act 1 Scene 3 in Macbeth. Is Macbeth really the one to blame for becoming a power craving maniac? It could be Lady Macbeth‚ which is the person who started the fire in Macbeth’s heart. Or it could be the three witches who told Macbeth their prophecy about him.

Truthfully‚ no one likes to take the blame for something they didn’t do‚ and John Proctor from “The Crucible” shows that people should be responsible for their actions‚ not someone else’s. “I speak my own sins: I cannot judge another”‚ this is what John says to Abigail‚ a girl in Salem who has an obsession with him. Not only that‚ but she was one of the main causes for the witch trials that occur in Salem at this time. What John is saying is that he will not blame others for his own actions; he will
