dealing with Romeo and Juilet

Don't stress too much - a poem does not have to rhyme. Write down a few quick impressions, organize them in a certain order, use symbolism (such as a rose - "a rose by any other name" in full bloom - 1st love, then fading, the petals dropping one by one, etc)pull it together. It does not have to be sappy. Good luck.

lord capulet, ok. well i just finished reading this and i myself am writing an essay, not of the same topic.  so, anyways, lord capulet played a major role in the play. like all the secondary characters in the story he had good intentions that went bad. the father of the main character wanted what was best for his daughter and that was to marry paris but that was not what juliet wanted. \ni dont know if you can write about another character but if you could the friar would be a good one. it would be easy to elaborate on his good intentions. his whole plan was for the marriage of romeo and juliet to stop the feud between the familys, but in order for that to happen the lovers had to die, this is the good intention gone bad.

1. At the end of which Act...? Act III? Romeo of course does not wish to leave Verona, but he must in order to survive. Both are miserably unhappy. As Juliet learns she must be wed to Paris, she becomes angry and rebels against her father. In the end, she feels like everyone has turned on her--even the Nurse. She goes to seek help from the only person she trusts--Friar Lawrence. Not sure that this answers your question, though.\n\n2. Romeo feels responsible for Mercutio's death because Mercutio was stabbed under his arm (Act III, Scene i). He was trying to prevent Mercutio and Tybalt from fighting, as he has recently married Juliet (Tybalt's cousin). His guilt and rage over this accident lead him to attack and kill Tybalt, which ultimately leads to his banishment from Verona.\n\n3. Shakespeare uses the images of darkness and light quite frequently. When Romeo first meets Juliet, he compares her to a star in the sky or a jewel in the ear of an African (Act I, Scene v). He also compares her to a dove amidst crows. Later, on the balcony, he compares her to the sun (Act II, Scene ii). Juliet hopes that when Romeo dies, he will become the stars in the sky, so that "all the world will fall in love with night." (not sure of the exact spot but I think it's Act III, Scene ii).

If this is for homework you really should do the work yourself.  Everyone thinks Shakespeare is confusing because of the complicated language, but there really are some fun stuff in his plays, and some of it isn't that different then todays movies.  Shakespere used a lot of sex, violence, and paranormal.  The trick is don't read it.  It was never meant to be read directly. It wasn't even written down originally, just memorized by actors. Go rent Romeo and Julitte, and see it performed. If they are good actors they will convey it in a way that's easier to understand. Another good resource is: http://absoluteshakespeare.com\n\nAny, Act II starts out with the famous "balcony scene" where Juliet wishes Romeo wasn't Montague.  He overhears it and says he loves her so much he'll swear off the name. They complain for a while about dealing with the problem of being from feuding families, then fter some shameless flirting Romeo proposes.  Juliet says she'll think about it and send her nurse to answer tomorrow.  Romeo goes and tells Friar Laurence what he's done and the Friar accuses Romeo of just trying to get into Juliet's pants, expecially since yesterday he was telling the Friar he was in love with Rosalind.  Be he agrees to wed them because he thinks it will solve the feud between the families.  In the mean time Rome's friends give him a hard time, Juliet's Nurse agrees to help, and ends with them secretly getting married.\n\nFor an even funnier version rent The Complete Works of Wllm Shkspr (abbridged) by the Reduced Shakespere company.  Also rend the recent Romeo and Juliet movie by Baz Luhrmann (the guy that did Moulin Rouge)

You should read it yourself, or you're undoubtedly going to miss some important stuff. With that caveat - here you go!\n\nAct II. \n\nIgnoring the danger, Romeo scales the Capulet's wall to be near Juliet, the woman he cannot forget... Unnoticed in Juliet's orchard, Romeo learns of Juliet's love for him. After declaring their feelings for each other, the two decide to marry. Juliet will send Romeo a messenger in the morning to make plans for their wedding...\n\nThe very next day, we meet Romeo's friend, Friar Laurence. He wonders how Romeo can forget Rosaline so quickly but agrees to marry the two since he hopes this marriage it will end the long running Montague / Capulet feud...\n\nRomeo catches up with his friends Mercutio and Benvolio. Juliet's messenger, the Nurse, arrives and the wedding is set for later that day. The Nurse brings Romeo "cords" or ropes which will allow Romeo to climb into Juliet's bedchamber as her husband later that night... Act II ends with Romeo and Juliet's marriage. \n\nAct III. \n\nBenvolio and Mercutio (both Montagues) meet Tybalt (Capulet). Tybalt attempts to provoke Romeo into fighting. Mercutio fights Tybalt and is killed. Romeo then kills Tybalt. Escalus, the Prince of Verona banishes Romeo from Verona threatening death should he ever return.

Friar Laurence suggests Romeo go to Juliet's bed chamber to comfort his wife... Capulet, who does not know of Romeo and Juliet's marriage, decides that the marriage of Juliet to Paris must now proceed, bidding his wife to make Juliet aware of Paris' love for her. The day of the marriage has been decided; it will be Thursday.\n\nWe learn that Romeo has spent the night with his Juliet. Juliet who is now already secretly married to Romeo, learns that she is to marry Paris. She tries to fight her father's wishes, failing to dissuade him. Juliet decides to commit suicide if all else fails...

Jeepers!\n\nWhat a jaunty job Jamie's to have. After enquiring of the Judaica and a jury of my juniors, the following is suggested. Disinfect a jackknife with Javex and gently jostle the jagged object free. No joke...."Gently" jerk it, don't jeer nor josh, and breath.\n\nFor the jaundice, julienne jojoba, jalapeno and jasmine into a juice and shortly, Jason should be jolly and jostling with jubilation! Jamie & Jason would be justified to enjoy joie de vivre and I'd suggest they go back to jiu-jitsu. \n\nP.S. remind Jamie to lay off the ju jubes.....they're a jaw breaker!   \n\nSigned: Joe Public

http://www.shakespeare-online.com\nhttp://members.aol.com/liadona2/shakespeare.html?f=fs\n\n\nThere are many factors causing the tragedy in Romeo and Juliet. The following areas may help you:\n\n    * The feud between the Montagues and the Capulets – we learn that this is an "ancient grudge". Tybalt acts because he says that "the honour of my kin" has been insulted. Romeo acts on the death of Mercutio according to the traditional revenge code.\n    * Romeo and Juliet’s love for one another – their passion means that they are only prepared to meet in death. Some argue that their youth makes them foolish and hasty in their actions.\n    * Does fate play a part? There are many references to the stars and fate in the play.\n    * Secrecy – the friar marries the pair in secret leading to dire consequences.\n    * Family will – Capulet wants Juliet to marry Paris "or else". He says:\n\n        …go with Paris to Saint Peter’s church\n        Or I will drag thee on a hurdle thither\n\n \n\nIt is not possible to give one character responsibility for the tragedy alone.\n\nthis link will be useful... has a lot of points \nhttp://search.bbc.co.uk/cgi-bin/search/results.pl?q=romeo+and+juliet&x=35&y=8&scope=ksenglish\n\nit depends on what your teacher wants ultimately... \n\nhttp://www.geocities.com/CollegePark/Classroom/3085/romandjul.html\nanother nice page that might be useful :)\ngood luck with your power point presentation :) cheers :)

Romance stories aren't "original" but then pretty much any story told isn't.  One of the Greatest writers of all time was Shakespeare.  His most memorable romantic story was "Romeo and Juliette" which he, um, borrowed from other European writers. Ditto for Hamlet, Julius Caesar, King Lear... \n\nDon't worry about originality.  It doesn't exist.  Worry about characters.  Are they REAL?  Is this something I can see happening to me, or at least sympathizing with if I don't "agree."  \n\nBut if you want to try and do a romantic story that is different than the rest, perhaps you should try talking about love from the perspective of the outside looking in.  The guy who doesn't get the girl (or the girl who doesn't get the guy).  How he or she feels.  How they rationalize their actions.  How they try hard and fail.  What they hope, what they dream.

"Romeo & Juliet" is probably it unless you'll like to read R.L Stine's "Forbidden Game" series. There are elements of a love story inside but it's mostly horror.

Juliet's long soliloquy before she drinks the potion focuses on her fears.  She at first calls the nurse, then changes her mind, realizing that she must act alone.  At first she fears that the potion won't work at all and lays a dagger beside her in case it doesn't.  She then fears that Friar Laurence may have lied, and really plans to kill her in order to avoid being punished for performing their marriage. \n\nAfter deciding that the Friar is honest and trustworthy, Juliet fears that she will wake up before Romeo arrives.  This prospect frightens her the most.  She fears strangling to death for lack of air, and then thinks about being in the vault with the bones of her ancestors, including Tybalt's recently dead body.  In horrible images, she imagines herself playing with the bones of her dead relatives and even smashing her own brains out with one of the bones.  As she imagines Tybalt's ghost seeking out Romeo, his murderer, she drinks the potion as a toast to Romeo.\n\nEven though Juliet's worst fear is that she will wake up too soon, it is ironic that this is the one thing that could have saved both their lives.\n\nJuliet is tragically alone in this scene, expressing her deepest fears in total isolation.  She shows her bravery as proof of her intense love for Romeo. In fact, it is her love for him which allows her to overcome her worst fears.

Tybalt's death turns the play to a tragedy.\n\nThings are going great for Romeo. He's just married Juliet, the love of his life. Everything is perfect until about an hour or so after his wedding to Juliet, when he kills Tybalt.\n\nPer the Prince's decree in Act I, Scene i, anyone caught engaging in a civil brawl will be put to death. Romeo should be killed. Instead, Prince Escalus exiles him. Here's where everything starts going wrong.\n\nJuliet gets sad and wants to kill herself. Her daddy wants her to marry Count Paris. Everything sucks. So she goes to see Friar Lawrence, who gives her the potion which will make her appear dead.\n\nUnfortunately, Romeo does not receive the Friar's message that Juliet is just faking her death. He thinks she has really died. He goes to her tomb and quaffs the poison. When Juliet wakes up, she finds Romeo dead. Despite Friar Lawrence's protest, she refuses to leave and stabs herself with the dagger.\n\nThe play is a tragedy because it has an unhappy ending and because the heroes (Romeo and Juliet) are brought down by their fatal flaws (their immaturity and impatience).
