Young lovers defy their families’ long-established vendetta and jeopardize all they have to continue their relationship. The violent commotion between the two lovers, Romeo and Juliet, finally bring peace to their feuding families, with their own death. Like with many suicide cases, there are challenges and decisions being made that lead up to this decision. Often times, we question who contributed to the suicide.

This tragedy, written by William Shakespeare, takes place in the Renaissance era, the setting is Verona and Mantua, which are northern cities in Italy.

In Romeo and Juliet, love is depicted in several ways. Both Luhrman and Shakespeare represent love in different ways in different contexts to both the Elizabethan era and the contemporary audience. Both the original and later manifestations of the text are valued because they both communicate to the audience on the values of love and society by employing a variety of devices.

“What's in a name? That we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” This quote is said by Juliet in the famous balcony scene in Romeo and Juliet when she knows that Romeo is a Montague but knows that he is a nice person. Romeo and Juliet is not just a sappy love play but a play about a family feud and star-crossed lovers. The Play has a little bit for everyone, fight scenes and love scenes.

Emotions are an important part of life. Without emotions, there would be no feelings, like sadness, happiness, anger, and the world would be dull. Sometimes emotions lead people to do things that defeat reason and go against what is ‘right’ in their society. So when do emotions defeat reason? Three books that illustrate strong emotions are, “Romeo and Juliet” a script by William Shakespeare, “Pride and Prejudice” a novel by Jane Austen, and “I am Malala” a memoir by Malala Yousafzai and Christina Lamb. These books help illustrate emotions are stronger than reason because in all books the main characters have to overcome a problem or obstacle where their emotions defeat reason.

I have resided in Verona for the better part of forty years and never have I seen such a mishandled case as this. Firstly, the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet is the tragedy of Verona. Their story comes only as a result of a deep seated hatred that in the past you have not condoned. Yet your strict attitude cost a man his life. Now three bodies have been laid to rest as a result of Romeo 's banishment. You should have allowed Romeo to remain in Verona following Mercutio and Tybalt 's deaths. The punishment may fit the crime, but not the circumstances. Romeo 's banishment was unjust.

In the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, figures of authority play a prominent role in the tragedies that take place throughout the story. Friar Lawrence is a respected member of society, and both the Capulet and Montague families trust him for advice and support. However, throughout the play, Friar Lawrence makes hasty decisions, like marrying Romeo and Juliet, hiding the fact of their marriage, helping Romeo after he is banished, and faking Juliet’s death. Through Friar Lawrence’s bad choices, Shakespeare demonstrates that blind reliance on people of authority is ill-advised, because they have flaws and make mistakes just like everybody else.

In my opinion, the mentors (Friar Lawrence and the Nurse) are most to blame for the deaths of the young star-crossed lovers, Romeo and Juliet. I think this because of the trust shared between the mentors and lovers, the mentors assumed they could stop the ongoing feud by lying to the parents, and the mentors supported Romeo and Juliet’s decision to wed in secrecy.

Tragedies usually depict the causes of a tragic hero’s downfall, which are most commonly a tragic choice or a tragic flaw. There is often some sort of greater power at play in tragedies, like fate.
