...“There’s a thin line between love and hate. Maybe you’re confusing your emotions.” Simone Elkeles. Romeo and Juliet may not actually love each other. They just think that they do. When they first kissed they had talked for five seconds and didn't even know each other's names. Romeo and Juliet have a clouded vision about how they think that they love each other so much due to the circumstances in their lives. First off, Romeo killed many of Juliet's family members.

All Juliet’s anger and sadness about her family being killed that should be pointed towards Romeo is then turned into Romeo and Juliet’s version of love. Later her emotions change to sadness when Romeo...

...Both love and hate emotions has been contributed throughout the play of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet; however, it is clearly shown that throughout the tragedy, it’s emphasised more on hate than love. The play portrays that not a single scene transpires in the play without a level of antagonism performing in the backdrop, constantly posing a caution on the characters and one that is present in the interactions of the characters. But that doesn’t mean love doesn’t play a big role in the novel. Either way, It is the hatred between the two families that makes them have to hide their love it's the hatred that makes Friar Laurence have to devise his crazy plan that leads up to Romeo and Juliet killed.

...Within the tragic story of Romeo and Juliet, we see two houses both emanating hate for one another. Multiple events arose along with every different possible outcome and within these situations, had Romeo chose to act differently and thought more rationally than impulsively, perhaps his seed of love with Juliet could’ve blossomed into a magnificent flower. If Romeo has chosen to realize that time is the only barrier to love, not to spite the Capulets, and to have truly understood Juliet’s heart, this tragedy may have averted. Different events and contributions led to the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, yet some factors stand out better than the others like a beacon in the midst of the dark night. Romeo may have been a Montague, but he did not hate nor despise the Capulet. He proposed marriage upon their second meeting disregarding their parental relationship. He spent less than 3 nights with Juliet and has not yet acquired the knowledge of Juliet’s thoughts. He acted irrationally choosing marriage despite the conflict revolving around the two houses, the Capulets and the Montagues. With this in mind, he should have known that any form of involvement...

...Themes of Love and Hate in William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet 1 Themes of Love and Hate in William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet Romeo and Juliet is a play about two young lovers, whose love was destined for destruction from the beginning because of the hatred between the two families, Montagues and Capulets. Therefore, the themes of love and hate are very important in the play as the plot is driven by these two themes. Shakespeare brings out the love between the two rivals through Romeo and Juliet and their relationships with the Friar and the Nurse. I want to argue that in the play, the themes of love and hate are closely linked. To show this, I have selected some of the most important scenes in the play, which illustrate the idea that love and hate are closely bound together. The first example is the chorus, which is found at the beginning of the play, in the prologue. It is a short summary of what the play is about. The chorus is in the form of a sonnet and sonnets were often associated with love in the time of Shakespeare. However, the words of the chorus seem to emphasize the idea of hate although there are some words about love. “From ancient grudge break to new mutiny, Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.” (Prologue, 3-4) These two lines are about the feud between the families. It shows that it is a feud, which has been brewing for many years. By repeating the words civil, Shakespeare is stressing the fact that they are all civilians...

...In this paper I have chosen to inform you about the consequence of hate. It will be based on the famous William Shakespeare play Romeo and Juliet. Hate is a strong thing that would make people do just about anything. In the play of Romeo and Juliet it shows what hatred can really do. The three things that hate caused were the death of Tybalt, Juliet being rebellious, and the death of Romeo and Juliet. Juliet was a rebellious teenager like most of us right. Her parents wanted her to marry someone that she didn’t want to so she didn’t. Instead of marry someone else she had fallen in love with a Montague which her parents hated. Instead of accepting the fact that their daughter had fallen in love with someone as an individual they judge...

...Though Romeo and Juliet is arguably the most stereotypical love story in the English language, it portrays with a specific kind of love: young, irrational, passionate love. In this play Shakespeare ultimately suggests that, that type of love that Romeo and Juliet feel leads lovers to act out in a selfish isolation from the world around them. The two lovers anticipate officializing their marriage, but it does not define their love. Instead, their young lust is one of the main reasons why their relationship grows so intense so fast. But through all of their love and intense lust their families were still in the dark about the two of them being together and still budding heads even turn they take. Love versus hate and the many forms love takes; its power to challenge hate; the assurance of young love; the irrationality of hate and its capacity to destroy. The tragedy in Romeo and Juliet is that the two lover struggle with the fact that their families have been in a century-long feud. Like different tragedies, which ends in fatality, this play end is the death of the "star-crossed lovers." Throughout the play it creates strong feelings, or moods. In Act Five, Scene Three of Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare uses imagery, symbolism, and irony to create such a tragic mood....

...“The Power of Love” Many may argue that hate is stronger than love, but love is definitely stronger than hate.

...What would you do for love? Would you sacrifice your life for the people you love? “Romeo and Juliet” is a thrilling play that demonstrates both love and hate. Love and hate both come at a cost, whether you lose something you love or something happens that you hate. As Mohandas Gandhi said “Hatred always kills, love never dies.” The play Romeo and Juliet demonstrates and expresses 3 main points relating to this quote. Those main points are love, hate, and marriage. Romeo and Juliet is portrayed as a “love” story but Shakespeare sets it up as a pain and death story. Romeo is in love with a woman named Rosaline at the beginning of the play. Juliet has never thought about getting married before her mother brings up the idea of marrying Paris. Shakespeare has to set their tale as ill-fated at the beginning (as “two star-crossed lovers” ) not only because their families hate each other, but because they do not know anything about what true love really is or even what life is like in the real adult world. When Romeo first lays his eyes upon Juliet, he is overwhelmed by how beautiful she is. He immediately forgets about Rosaline and wants to meet Juliet. Romeo saw Juliet at a ball he never intended on going to. For a few days he kept to himself and was thinking about how much he loves Rosaline. Eventually, Romeos cousin Benvolio convinces him to go. Romeo thinks that there is no point to go but Benvolio tells him “At this same ancient feast of the Capulet's sups the fair Rosaline...

...Who is responsible for Romeo and Juliet's death I think many people believe in Fate,but in this condition I don't think Romeo and Juliet's death can be simply explained by fate. We need to take into account everything around them, like their parents,Romeo himself.....and if their love was not a secret would it have ended in tragedy? I am going to declare why Romeo and Juliet's death can not simply explain by fate, and these are my point -Romeo is responsible for his own death. -Friar is responsible for their death. -Juliet's parents are responsible for Juliet's death. 1.First of all Romeo is responsible for his own death because he does everything without thinking , just like he shouldn't go to the party in the first place thought he knows their families hate each other , and it might get him trouble , I also think he shouldn't kill Tybalt because of the conflict between Romeo and Tybalt, it lead to Tybalt getting killed and Romeo banished , and even when he doubted about Juliet's death , his first idea is " Oh My God!!!!! I am going to die with her" He even don't want to make sure is that information correct or not , after he went to Juliet's grave he just drunk the potion , he didn't check her body . If he checked the body then he won't drink the potion it might saved their lifes , and maybe they could have devised a plan together and escaped Verona. So from the way he acted I think he lacked patience, and does everything without thinking and that cause his...
