The two most important characters in "Romeo and Juliet" are, as the title suggests, Romeo and Juliet themselves. Their tragic love story is central to the plot of the play and drives the events that unfold.
Yes, Romeo believes that dreams can act as omens. In Act 1, Scene 4 of Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet", Romeo mentions a dream he had that seems to foreshadow an unfortunate event. This belief in the power of dreams to foretell the future contributes to the overall sense of fate and predestination in the play.
In the context of Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet," the term "ill" is often used to describe misfortune, bad luck, or danger. It can also be used to reflect a sense of sickness or disease.
Yes, Romeo and Juliet can be seen as rebellious in a modern sense. They defy the norms and expectations of their feuding families to be together, risking everything for their love. Their actions can be interpreted as an act of rebellion against societal constraints and family authority.
In Act 3, Scene 5 of Romeo and Juliet, Juliet sees a vision of Romeo lying dead at the bottom of a tomb. This is a foreshadowing of their tragic fate and adds to the sense of impending doom in the play.
Could you rephrase this question please? It makes no sense as it stands.
It depends on what you mean by real. There really were two families called Montecchi and Capuletti who were opposed to one another because of being on opposite sides of the Italian conflict between the Guelfs and the Ghibbelines. However, only one of the families lived in Verona, and the story of Romeo and Juliet did not actually happen to them. So although they were real families and they did feud, their feud was not the "Romeo and Juliet family feud". Since the Romeo and Juliet story is a fiction, the feud is only real within the context of the story. In that sense, and in that sense only, the feud is as real as Romeo and Juliet's love.
Isn't this a rather devious way of asking what the climax of the play is? In the Freytag Pyramid sense, the climax falls in Act 3 Scene 1 with the deaths of Mercutio and Tybalt. The death of Tybalt is, in particular, the event which sends the plot spiralling into tragedy. And the important event immediately following it is the trial of Romeo in absentia for the crime of street brawling causing death. Of course, another view of what a climax is all about (the resolution of the plot conflicts) would make the climax the deaths of Romeo and Juliet, and the event which follows is the reconciliation of their families.
Juliet is torn between her love for Romeo and her loyalty to her family, especially after Romeo kills her cousin Tybalt in a duel. This inner conflict between her love for Romeo and her sense of duty to her family causes her deep emotional distress and confusion.
In Act 1, Scene 4 of "Romeo and Juliet," Romeo is in a somber mood because he is still heartbroken over his unrequited love for Rosaline. He tells his friends that he has a sense of foreboding about the party and worries that the night's events will lead to something unfortunate.
No, I wouldn't say they were. Juliet did defy her father by her marriage to Romeo, but that wasn't rebellious as we know it today. It was normal for young women to have arranged marriages to older men, but if there hadn't been a feud with Romeo's family her father may had consented to a marriage.
