Romeo and Juliet

In William Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet," it was Rosaline who refused Romeo's love, leading to his initial depression at the beginning of the play. Romeo's unrequited love for Rosaline is what sets the stage for his eventual meeting and falling in love with Juliet. Rosaline's rejection of Romeo's love serves as a catalyst for the events that unfold throughout the rest of the play.

Although they often feel that the setbacks to their relationship will destroy it, Romeo does not accept that their love is doomed until the point when Balthasar brings him the news of Juliet's death and Juliet does not accept it until she sees Romeo's corpse.

Even when Romeo must leave Juliet for Mantua, he says, "All these woes shall serve for sweet discourses in our time to come." At that point, he believes or at least has hopes that they will live happily ever after.

The Hollywood film that has a similar plot to Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" is "West Side Story." Both stories revolve around a forbidden love affair between two young individuals from rival groups, leading to tragic consequences. "West Side Story" is a musical adaptation set in New York City, while "Romeo and Juliet" is a classic play set in Verona, Italy. Both narratives explore themes of love, conflict, and societal divisions.

In Verona, selling lethal poisons without a license is illegal and punishable by imprisonment and/or fines. The severity of the punishment may vary depending on the circumstances of the case and the laws of the jurisdiction where the offense occurred.

Friar Lawrence compares the beneficial and poisonous parts of the plant to human nature - how our actions can have both positive and negative consequences, just like the plant's medicinal and toxic properties.

Transition metals. in fact, it is the Only radioactive transition metal!

The appendix hangs off the end of the cecum in the digestive system. It is a small pouch-like organ with no known essential function in humans. In some cases, it can become inflamed, causing a condition known as appendicitis which may require surgical removal.

From the earlier known chemical properties of Actinium (89) up to Uranium (92), indicating a relation to the transition metals, it was generally assumed that the transuraniums would have similar qualities. During his Manhattan Project research in 1944, Glenn T. Seaborg experienced unexpected difficulty isolating Americium (95) and Curium (96). He began wondering if these elements more properly belonged to a different series than the transition metals, which would explain why the expected chemical properties of the new elements were different. In 1945, he went against the advice of colleagues and proposed the most significant change to Mendeleev's periodic table to have been accepted universally by the scientific community: the actinide series.

Lord Capulet supervised the plans for Juliet and Paris's wedding. The wedding was originally on a Thursday, but Lord Capulet moved the wedding to a Wednesday.

The correct phrase is "than that of Juliet and her Romeo." This construction is more grammatically accurate and maintains parallelism between the comparison of two entities.

Count Paris visited the Capulet house in order to ask for Juliet's hand in marriage. He had been informed by Lord Capulet that Juliet was of marriageable age and possessed of sufficient assets and beauty to make her a desirable bride. He was determined to win her hand and sought an audience with her and her family.

Count Paris had several incentives for wanting to marry Juliet. These included:

• The wealth and prestige associated with a Capulet
• The beauty and grace of Juliet herself
• The potential political alliances that could be forged through the marriage

Count Paris was ultimately successful in his quest and Juliet's father granted him permission to marry her. He was delighted and the two were soon betrothed.

Shakespeare used a chorus in "Romeo and Juliet" to provide a concise summary of events and set the tone for the play. By framing the story with the chorus at the beginning and end, Shakespeare creates a sense of anticipation and gives the audience a glimpse into the tragic fate of the young lovers.

Cults and sects can be harmful to society if they promote extremist beliefs, isolate members from mainstream society, or engage in abusive practices. However, not all cults or sects are inherently harmful, as some may promote positive values and community support. It is important to assess each group individually based on their beliefs and actions.

Opinions on social status includes that the classes exist due to economic inequalities. Status is a form of inequality with esteem, respect, standing, and prestige possibly involving beauty, intelligence, and occupations.

As the play opens, the citizens of Rome have taken to the streets to celebrate Caesar's triumphant return to Rome after defeating Pompey's sons in Spain. To judge from the events in Act I, the political mood and behavior of the Roman populace can best be termed unswervingly patriotic and firm.

My understanding of this line is as follows: Romeo of course is speaking to himself as he is hiding from his friend, Mercutio and Benvolio as they are leaving the Capulets' masked Ball where Romeo meets Juliet for the first time. (Romeo is planning to return to the House of Capulet to see Juliet again which is why he is avoiding Mercutio and Benvolio.) Prior to attending the party and seeing Juliette, Romeo had a crush on Rosaline and had been lamenting this frustrated love earlier in the play. Mercutio is calling out trying to locate Romeo and is teasing Romeo about his crush on Rosaline. Romeo responds basically saying, "ah, I'm over her (Roseline). I was never really in love with her anyway now that I've seen Juliet so your jokes are falling flat 'cause all previous attractions have disappeared after seeing Juliet.

That's right, isn't it Mr. Holbrook? (My high school English Literature teacher)

ha this guys a moron^ "mr.holbrook" would be very dissapointed kidd.

he can't even spell Juliet right. who the hell is roxanne? i do believe it's rosaline.

mind you im a freshman. yah kid you need to hit the books >.<

haha i agree with you this kid doesn't know how to spell but i fixed it for u your welcome.

Well, I don't think either of these people have actually answered your question, so let me see if I can... The quote "He jests at scars that never felt a wound," implies that it is easy for someone (Mercutio) to joke at scars if he has never been cut. Meaning, that Mercutio doesn't know what he is talking about when he speak of love, because he has never felt it according to Romeo

Mercutio acts in contrast to the lovestruck Romeo and the peaceful Benvolio-he is a witty and quick-tempered skeptic. Mercutio teases Romeo for his love melancholy by sarcastically using conventional images of Petrarchan infatuation to underscore Romeo's naive view of love. For example, when Romeo refuses to dance at the feast because his soul is overburdened with unrequited love, Mercutio mocks: "You are a lover, borrow Cupid's wings / And soar with them above a common bound." Mercutio is an anti-romantic; for him, love is a physical pursuit, which he emphasizes through his bawdy wordplay: "If love be rough with you, be rough with love / Prick love for pricking and you beat love down." Mercutio's repeated references to the sexual aspect of love casts Romeo's transcendent love for Juliet in a more spiritual light. Mercutio treats the subject of dreams, like the subject of love, with witty skepticism, as he describes them both as "fantasy." Unlike Romeo, Mercutio does not believe that dreams can foretell future events. Instead, painting vivid pictures of the dreamscape people inhabit as they sleep, Mercutio suggests that the fairy Queen Mab brings dreams to humans as a result of men's worldly desires and anxieties. To him, lawyers dream of collecting fees and lovers dream of lusty encounters; the fairies merely grant carnal wishes as they gallop by. In juxtaposing lawyers and lovers, soldiers and the fairy entourage, his eloquent speech touches on a number of the play's opposing themes such as love and hate, fantasy and reality, idealism and cynicism. It also gives insight into Mercutio's antagonistic and cynical nature: His description of the lovers is brief compared with the bloodthirsty image of the soldier who dreams of "cutting foreign throats." The beauty of the ladies' lips is quickly followed by the image of Mab blistering their lips with plague sores because the women had eaten too many sweets. Mercutio is down-to-earth, whereas Romeo continues to indulge in idealistic, lovelorn daydreaming. Indeed, his dream speech contains all the elements that will conspire to bring down Romeo and Juliet's starry-eyed dream of love to the depths of the tomb. Romeo's final speech anticipates his meeting with Juliet and creates an atmosphere of impending doom, which undercuts the festivities. Instead of a date with a pretty girl on a starlit night, he intuits that he goes to a date with destiny. The heavy tone of this premonition is far more serious than the shallow melancholy Romeo has so far expressed. The cosmic imagery of "some consequence hanging in the stars" echoes the prologue in which Romeo and Juliet are presented as "star-cross'd" lovers, whose destinies are tragically interlinked.

"I'll look to love if looking liking move." This is an example of Shakespeare playing with words. He is punning on "look", meaning both "look forward to" and "see". He is also making a tongue-twister with "looking liking". What she means is "If when I look at Paris it moves me to like him, I'll look forward to love." Shakespeare's is much more elegant, of course.

Tybalt, a cousin of Juliet, is depicted as hot-tempered and aggressive. He engages in a feud with Romeo and is ultimately responsible for escalating the conflict between the two families. Tybalt's death serves as a turning point in the play, leading to tragic consequences for both Romeo and Juliet.

i found this last weekend b/c this was for my project. i broke down and looked in a dic. and found:

xanthium- which means- a genus of plants

ichose this word b/c it explains friar Laurence perfectly and it also deals w/ the apothecary.

The servant in Act 1 Scene 2 of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet has been given a list of people to invite to Capulet's "old accustomed feast". Unfortunately he cannot read, and so does not know who to deliver the invitations to. He asks Romeo to read it for him, and thus Romeo finds out that Rosaline is invited to the party. This makes him want to crash it.

The current sorrows of Romeo and Juliet, such as their families' feud and separation, will serve as the foundation for future challenges they may face in their relationship. These obstacles will test their love and commitment to each other, shaping their character and determination to overcome barriers in the future.

Lord Montague shares the tragic news with the Prince that Lady Montague, Romeo's mother, has died from grief over Romeo's exile.
