Love in Romeo and Juliet
The first time I got in touch with the Romeo and Juliet is the movie which directed by Italian famous director Franco Zeffirelli in 1968. This work is called the most Classical work in all adapted Romeo and Juliet. And then I felt interested in the book. After reading this book, I was shocked about the love tragedy and Shakespeare’s creation and imagination.
Romeo and Juliet is one of the famous love-tragedies in the works of Shakespeare. Romeo and Juliet admired each other so much, they were loyal to their oaths and wanted to acquire happiness in spite of how cool the reality was. Finally, they committed suicide. Through the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare had connected the love theme with conflict in the renaissance period. In the thesis, he criticized feudal thoughts and expressed ideals of pursuing personal freedom and welfare. So the religious reform and humanism were main cause of the tragedy in that period of time. And the personality of characters was also the reasons for the tragedy in this work.
Romeo and Juliet is a famous Shakespearean tragedy, mortal enmity exists between the powerful houses of Montague and Capulet, but Romeo, the Montague son, and Juliet, daughter of the Capulet, both are posted family, are in love. The love between them was so strong that on one could live without another. Under Father Lawrence’s help, they secretly got married. Later, Romeo in order to help his friend kill Juliet’s cousin. So he had to flee away. A t the same time, Juliet was forced marriage, so she ate Sleeping pills to a suspended animation. When Romeo got back, he didn’t know anything, so he committed suicide. And after Juliet waking up, she believed Romeo’ death, she also ended her life. At the end of the story the parents of the two families made peace by shaking hands aside their children’s bodies.
In this story, Capulet and Montague represent the musty feudal thoughts and traditions. They are narrow-minded, arbitrary. They only pay attention to their benefits and ignore the freedom and love of their children. Finally they create hatred and conflict between the two families and bring unrest to the city, and lost their children. But Romeo and Juliet represent the new humanism. They bravely fight against the musty feudal thoughts and traditions. Thought their fight finally is a tragedy, but I think it is a victory of humanism. We can feel Shakespeare’s excited passion and ambitious dream.
Romeo is also a hero in my heart. First, he was born in a feudal family but never inherits the feudal thoughts from his elders. He always fellows the trend and fight for his love and freedom. He pursues the beautiful love even thought his lover is the daughter of his enemy. He values the friendship, he can help friend kill the enemy thought he faces danger. Juliet is also a heroine. She is only 14 years old but she is brave in breaking the tradition and chasing her devotion. She regards the love as her life, so she can devote her life without consideration after Rom eo’s death. But all these clues are Shakespeare’s imagination. So after reading this book, I admire his literary grace. In this work, Shakespeare uses a lot of lyrical tactics, such as in Act two Scene two in Capulet’s garden, Julie and Romeo are hard to s eparate. Shakespeare use romantic and warm words to shape a romantic atmosphere. Because of these words, we can feel the great love between Romeo and Juliet.
Shakespeare shows his dramatic skills freely in Romeo and Juliet, providing intense moments of s hift between comedy and tragedy. Before Mercutio’s death in Act three, the play is largely a comedy. After his accidental demise, the play suddenly becomes very serious and takes on more
tragic tones. When Lawrence offers Juliet a plan to reunite her with Romeo we can still has a reason to believe that all will end well and Romeo and Juliet will be together forever. So the opening of the tomb in last scene is a "breathless state of suspense". We can’t imagine whether it is a comedy or a tragedy. It is more tragic when everything falls apart in the end.
The love of Romeo and Juliet was well expressed in the movie which directed by Italian famous director Franco Zeffirelli in 1968. The director selected a 17-year-old new actress Olivia Hussey, a girl who had both eastern and western beauty. Adding the romantic theme music A Time for Us sung by singer Andy Williams, this movie entirely showed the Shakespearean style.
What is love? Shakespeare has said that it is a sensation that no one can explain but give a strongly spiritual shock to somebody. When love is coming, nothing can stop it. Juliet firmly believes that if only she could be an immaculate wife to spend the rest of her life with her lover, she will not dread to do everything. So they could forever together in the other world. Everyone thinks this final result is very tragic. But as for Juliet, she must choose to pass away with Romeo rather than weeping everyday. It’s very painful to live without Romeo. So the final is also perfect. And what is happiness? Shakespeare considers when you fall in love with somebody the feelings just like you could stand on cobweb slightly and hard to fall off. Then you will feel that two people in one heart. Consequently, living with someone who around you thinks he is very successful but you do not like him, you could not taste the happiness. Contrarily, living with someone who you truly love, although meet with thousands of people’s opposition, they could not carry off your happiness and satisfaction.
Love modestly. Long love does so. This is a sentence in Romeo and Juliet. I love this sentence most. Life is valuable, but love is more valuable. That doesn’t mean we should devote our lives to love, what we should do is to face our love bravely and be unashamed.。
