“Epic, passionate and poetic. » Romeo and Juliet is written in blank verse. It simply means “unrhymed iambic pentameter”. For example, Two houses, both alike in dignity In fair Verona, where we set our scene, From old grudge to new mutiny, Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean. From there the fatal loins of these two enemies A couple of cursed lovers take their lives. This may sound “melodramatic,” but it’s perfect for the play. Shakespeare makes it work with a plot that lives up to the hype (Romeo and Juliet style of writing). “It truly appeals to the heart of the reader who sympathizes with the universal, unconditional and ideal romance of the protagonists, the representation of a perfect and eternal love that is captured and protected with youth” (Genevieve). Every emotion in the piece is intensified. From the beginning, both main characters are somewhat aware that they are destined to die. However, they give up everything to love. “Uncontrollable emotion and its consequences are one of the major themes of the play” (Dutta). Romeo is extremely impulsive, which causes him many problems throughout the story. He remains so devoted in his love for Juliet and his desire to remain by her side that he follows her even in death. But it’s the action that moves the story forward. “Objective characters engage in battles of mind, will, and physical strength – largely for the sake of a feud between the two families, so old that the original motivations are no longer even discussed” (Huntley , KE Monahan). Additionally, Shakespeare focuses the plot around verbal messages. For example, Romeo, Mercutio, and Benvolio only hear about Capulet's ball by accident from Capulet's servant. ...... middle of paper ...... ler's blood. For this reason, if Romeo and Juliet are discovered, one of them will be killed. The Capulets and Montagues refuse to forgive and therefore will continue to be sworn enemies for generations to come. This will cause much more grief to Verona. Nevertheless, in the end, everyone is gathered to hear the brother's story. This promotes pity, guilt and compassion among families. This even affects the Prince, who includes his own name among the culprits. This is how the path to reconciliation between families begins. “In Romeo and Juliet, the climactic events of the play occur with instantaneous suddenness: servants fight on sight, lovers fall in love at first sight, the shock of tragic catastrophe suddenly and completely converts parents from hatred to love” (Huntley, KE Monahan). I believe this is one of the greatest, most tragic, and classic love stories of all time..
