In Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" the

and the character Bottom states, "O what fools
these mortals be." They are foolish because they
act like children. Although Lysander, Hermia,

Star Crossed Lovers Romeo Kills

written by William Shakespeare. The appeal of the
young hero and heroine -- whose families, the
Montague's and Capulets, respectively, are
implacable enemies -- is such that they have
become, in the popular imagination, the
representative type of star-crossed lovers.

Live Their Lives Romeo And Juliet
1,615 words
Romeo and Juliet is written by William Shakespeare
and is a Shakespearian tragedy about two young
lovers who are destined to be together. Their two
families hate each other bitterly, which forces
them to realise that they would rather be dead
than live their lives apart. In this essay I am
going to look at who or what is to blame or
responsible for this tragic loss of life. Most
people see a tragedy as a sudden unfortunate
event, which leaves people sad, upset and possibly
grieving. A Shakespear...

Act Iii Scene Act Ii Scene Ii

The popular thought that Romeo and Juliet is a
romantic play is inaccurate because over time
people tend to want to make everything happy and
especially in the modern-day world, people prefer
romantic themes with happy endings, not a story
about two lovers who commit suicide. An
Elizabethan audience, around the time of
Shakespeare would have reacted very differently to
Romeo and Juliet than we do as laws and customs
have changed over the 400 years since Shakespeare.
The Elizabethan reaction to l...

Antigone Vs Midsummer Night Dream

Antigone Vs Midsummer Night's Dream Within the
scope of this research, we will discuss the role
of irony in the two plays Antigone and Midsummer
Nights Dream. Although the plays are written by
different authors, and are quite different in
their nature, irony plays a significant role in
understanding the plays at large. In Antigone,
Antigone displays the tragic flaw of
disproportionate ambition. The irony of the play
is in the fact that while Antigone appears to be a
tragic hero, she herself is r...

Star Crossed Lovers Romeo And Juliet
836 words
One of the oldest and most debated questions of
all time is whether our lives are governed by fate
or by our personal choice. William Shakespeare, in
Romeo and Juliet, brings this question to the
surface. Although fate seems to control what
happens to Romeo and Juliet their choices
contribute more to their " fate" than
fate itself. Although some reasons that Romeo and
Juliet die are out of their control fate is not
the largest reason that the lovers end up dying.
For example, when Rome...

The Death Motif in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet
Often times, authors use the theme of death
throughout their works. This seems to be true of
William Shakespeare in Romeo and Juliet.

deaths, which cause problems for the lovers, and
through premonitions and dreams of death. Both
Juliet and her Romeo exhibit these premonitions /
dreams . The use of death is immediately seen in
the prologue of the play: T...
