How does the attitude that Romeo and Juliet appear to have toward marriage compare with the attitudes of teenagers in your time?

Romeo and Juliet are wanting to rush and get married because they love each other. Teenagers today are about to express their love to someone without wanting to get married.


How truly serious is Romeo's love for rosaline?

Not at all. He is playing at being a man in love, just as she is playing at being cold and aloof. These were conventional attitudes. Romeo doesn't really care about Rosaline. When he meets Juliet, it is like a slap of cold water in his face.


In romeo and Juliet who provides an example of foils?

Both Benvolio and Mercutio are foils to Romeo.


What is Khayyam's attitude towards time and love?

If you've read the Rubiyat by Omar Khayyam, it is difficult not to notice that Omar the Tent Maker had an attitude toward time and love that could be considered very relaxed and casual. He loved his poetry, and his time and love were devoted heavily toward those pursuits.


How is twelfth night's love relevant to 21 st century Audiences?

Modern thinking on what is called "gender studies" says that sex and gender are not the same thing. That is to say, a person may be male but have the attitudes and thought processes of a typical female, including sexual attraction to males. Such persons are called transgendered. This kind of dilemma is what Viola faces as Cesario. Although appearing on the outside as an attractive young man, on the inside she is still a woman. This is why Olivia falls for Cesario while Viola, the woman inside Cesario, falls for Orsino.The concept of transgender is quite new although the phenomenon is, of course, as old as humanity. That means that plays like Twelfth Night have a piquancy in this century they never had before. Curiously, two of Shakespeare's contemporaries, Thomas Middleton and Thomas Dekker, wrote a play about a real person alive at the time who was a transvestite and very possibly transgendered. The play is called The Roaring Girl and it is about a woman called Mary Frith. It is, however, not as good a play as Twelfth Night.Malvolio's love for his boss Olivia is also interesting from the point of view of current attitudes toward workplace romance, especially between superiors and subordinates. A workplace is a dangerous place to start a love affair, as stringent rules about "sexual harassment" may result in sanctions being applied, as they are to poor old Malvolio.
