Romeo and Juliet’s Love and Moral Conflict ·Romeo and Juliet’s Love
Ⅰ.The Surreal Love in Romeo and Juliet
The story is absurd in modern society:Romeo and Juliet meet, marry, lose their virginity,escape and die in love in a short period of five days. Their great love,from beginning to end is not agreed by the two families, but after the death,led to the reconciliation of the two families.
Romeo and Juliet,the time they stay together is very few, because their deep love only came to this world for five days, and they lived far away. which makes the two people have a space distance,and the distance can produce beauty,it is this distance that promotes the romance of Romeo and Juliet increasingly strong.
On the stage of art we can reproduce the immortal love story of Romeo and Juliet again and again,praising the pure and beautiful love of
them, and we should realize that the more highly praised things are, the more rare they are in real life.Like the love of Romeo and Juliet, no matter how beautifully performed on the stage,it is impossible in real life. Because they are married before they have tasted the feeling of love,and they die before they know what marriage really is.We should also realize that the so-called persistence at the cost of life is not desirable.If Romeo and Juliet lived in our age, there are many ways to win the final victory of love,and none of them should ends in the death of both.
Ⅱ.The Rebellious Factors in the Love Between Romeo and Juliet The love between Romeo and Juliet is also full of rebellious factors. The two people who fall in love at first sight could have been experienced the test of love and went to the palace of marriage. However, their families are irreconcilable, which makes it impossible for them to fall in love. Born in this world, no one is willing to be a puppet (which is) bound and constrained by others. Where there is oppression, there is resistance. The more obstructing the family is, the more they love each other.
Romeo's confession to Juliet deeply shows Romeo's rebellion and love: " My life were better ended by their hate, than death prorogued, wanting of thy love. " while Juliet would rather give up her family than embrace Romeo: " O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name; Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, and I'll no longer be a Capulet. "
Romeo and Juliet's confession is full of passion and anger. It is precisely because of the irreconcilable contradictions between the two families and the resistance around them that they strengthen their determination to love and be together. It is only then that Romeo and Juliet have a common goal: to break the shackles of the family, to walk out of their own love road, a pure love road. The rebellious psychology in love urges them to choose self-destruction for love, which caters to the readers' expectation of vigorous and unyielding life; moreover, as for the
martyrdom came before these two people enjoy their honeymoon period, their love is certainly fresh and immortal.
·Romeo and Juliet’s View of Moral Conflict
Ⅰ.The Moral Conflict Brought by the Discord Between the Old Feudal Life and the New Renaissance Life.
First, the moral conflict brought by the discord between the old feudal life and the new Renaissance life.
Romeo and Juliet lived in an era when feudal society was going to collapse. Although this era has shown the dawn of capitalism and brought some hope to people's development, the feudal system and ethics still occupy a pivotal position. Romeo and Juliet are also faced with such contradictions and conflicts: Succumbing to the feudal traditional system means giving up love and enduring a life without love; pursuing freedom and love means violating the feudal traditional system, against common sense and not accepted by the secular world. The love at first sight between Romeo and Juliet made them fall into the contradiction between their own love and feudalism. Whether their pure and beautiful love ideal can be realized depends on if the result of their free will struggle with the surrounding environment, and the whole play revolves around this conflict.
Influenced by the spirit of the times, Romeo and Juliet choose to defend the dignity and freedom of human nature with a firm attitude and
brave spirit of sacrifice, and pursue their own pure and beautiful love. She responded to the battle with reason and calmness, pretended to die and win. However, this victory was only temporary, no matter how full of reason and wisdom she was, the feudal forces would not let her get real happiness. Just as Romeo realized before he died, what they were facing was not a family, but a feudal society full of decadent consciousness and prejudice. What they embody was a kind of humanistic spirit of resistance and daring to struggle.
Ⅱ.The Moral Conflict Caused by the Conflict between the Two Families
Different moral requirements under the same moral system all have their own moral values.Moral conflict is actually a kind of choice and judgment of interests.The second moral conflict encountered by the two protagonists is the moral conflict between maintaining the dignity of the family and pursuing love.On the way of pursuing love life, Romeo and Juliet were not only trapped by the decadent feudal ethics, but also encountered the oppression from within the family.
Romeo is different from the ordinary noble youth.His attitude to the feudalism family feud is different, but also rational.It distressed him when he found that he had fallen in love with his enemy.In the conflict between the maintenance of family and the pursuit of love, he chose love.When he was exiled and knew that Juliet was dead, he decided to take poison and
commit suicide.This time, Romeo encountered the conflict between life and death.He is looking for a pure love and a good life rather than seeing his beloved die.
Juliet was a well-behaved daughter in the eyes of her parents.Whether to maintain the family dignity forged by the feudal prejudice, or to break through the prejudice and pursue the true love, it caused Juliet's ideological contradictions.When Romeo stabbed the provocative Tybalt to death and was about to be banished, Juliet faced a second conflict in her heart. On the one hand, her cousin was killed; on the other hand, the murderer was her lover.The former represented the old life; the latter represented the new life.When Romeo was exiled, her father forced her to marry the prince's relative, Count Paris, Juliet's heart was once again full of struggles.This inner contradiction and struggle, in fact, is still a reflection of the struggle and conflict between the old and the new morals.。
