Shakespeare is a famous writer who wrote many famous plays, probably

his most famous being Romeo and Juliet. Romeo and Juliet is about a

couple who fall in love and get married, despite their families feud

which has been going on for generations. Shakespeare cleverly didn't

write what the feud was about, because it helps get his theme of

unresolved conflict leads to tragedy across. Shakespeare also uses

fate as a theme and gets this across by writing that fate conspires

against them; 'star-crossed lovers.' This fate conspires so much

against Romeo and Juliet that it is unrealistic to a modern day

(contemporary) audience, but in a Shakespearean audience it didn't

matter because as long as it was entertaining it was accepted. This

essay is about the reaction of a Shakespearean audience and a

contemporary audience would have towards Romeo throughout the play.

overcoming his adolescence. Romeo...

...pinions on the reactions of Romeo throughout the

essay may be completely different to what the majority of

Shakespearean and contemporary audiences, because the two different

audiences would react depending upon the individuals in the audiences.

Shakespeare's themes of 'unresolved conflict leads to tragedy' and

'fate' are got across to us because of all the unrealistic bad luck

Romeo and Juliet have. Due to the conflict, Mercutio, Tybalt, Paris,

Romeo and Juliet are all dead, as the Prince says; 'all are punished.'
