Romeo and Juliet Reflections

To me Shakespeare views love as a strong and dangerous thing. For example in romeo and Juliet he shows us through his play how he feels like love can overcome a persons common sense. When Juliet finds romeo dead, she desires to kill herself because her "true love is dead". Shakespeare's view on hate, differs. In the play he makes it seam like hate is very strong and powerful feeling. When he describes the Monegasques and the Capulet's hate for each other, He uses very strong words, and with the actions of both family's it shows he thinks its a very strong emotion.

Shakespeare's views on both love and hate are strong even though that is the whole theme of this story. You have one of the most famous stories filled with hate and love, Romeo and Juliet. First you have the feuding families, the Capulet's and the Montague's. The second part of hatred goes more in dept with the families of Romeo and Tybalt. Next comes the love of the story, Romeo is in love with a girl named Rosaline and is willing to go to a party at the house of the Capulet's to go see her. In the party, he sees a beautiful girl that that goes by the name of Juliet. He soon forgets about Rosaline and falls for Juliet. Tybalt notices Romeo eyeing Juliet and does not like the idea of him looking at his cousin or even being in their house without an invitation. Which later leads to Romeo's and Tybalt's fight; also another part of hatred. In my opinion, Shakespeare shows strong views on love and hate, as he shows it in the story.

Romeo and Juliet Reflections

Shakespeare had a very complex view on love and hate. In Romeo and Juliet, he wanted them to be together. Shakespeare wanted them to be in love, but, he wasn't going to write this play without them having to go through some challenges along the way. He believed in love for sure, and transported his thoughts into his famous plays. For example, he described Romeo and Juliet as "star-crossed lovers." Shakespeare also wrote in this play "My love is as boundless as the sea." These are just two quotes, from one of his plays, that express his thoughts on love. As for hate, Shakespeare believes in that as well. In fact, he takes the two subjects, love and hate, and makes Romeo and Juliet. Shakespeare took two people from two feuding families, and made them in love. This is the hate part of Romeo and Juliet. Tybalt wants to fight Romeo, and Juliet's father is extremely upset at the even thought of the two being together. Both of these examples wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for the fact that they were both Capulet and Montague. He created this idea because he believes that it can't always just be happiness and love. That in life there will be some hate no matter what. Needless to say, Shakespeare was a complicated man. His plays, especially Romeo and Juliet, represent some love and some hate. Without a doubt, Shakespeare strongly believed in both love and hate.

I believe that Shakespeare´s views on love and hate were very intricate and well grounded but I also believe that he thought love and hate could go hand in hand despite the fact that they are opposites. I also think that Shakespeare thinks that love can overcome hate or the other way around as we see in the story when the two ¨star crossed lovers¨ defy their family feuds, fall in love, and get married behind their backs. But, the young lovers relationship takes a turn for the worst when the two, hatred filled, families find out what the kids have done. The families are furious towards the foolish decisions that the children have committed  and ultimately cause the death of their own children. these are both examples of love overcoming hate and hate surpassing love.

Romeo and Juliet Reflections

Shakespeare had a lot to say about love and hate. One of his plays, "Romeo and Juliet" was a tragedy that focused on the love of two teenagers who claimed to love each other so much they would die for each other. I think he believed that love and hate could be connected in a way, not just as opposites, but also as they can be similar as one could lead to the other. He viewed love as something that could be used ultimately as a weapon, whereas most people will look at hate as the weapon. Romeo and Juliet loved each other so much that they went to extreme lengths to be together, such as getting married in secret, and getting others involved in their wedding, even though it could have lead to severe consequences not just for Romeo and Juliet, but also for other parties involved, such as Friar Lawrence and the Nurse. Romeo and Juliet were both from families that were feuding, and there was even a threat that if there were more fights, somebody would end up being killed. Romeo and Juliet both ended up dying, because they could not be without each other, even though their families both thought otherwise. Love ended up being the weapon, because they both died, whereas hate, which tends to be seen as the weapon, would've kept them separated. Not only did love kill Romeo and Juliet, but their love also led to the deaths of Mercutio, and Tybalt.

What are Shakespeare's views on love and hate? Shakespeare seemed to have a complicated view on love , he created Romeo and Juliet to be together , deeply in love , but they had some major complications. For example Romeo and Juliet came from feuding families , therefore it was difficult for them to be together. Shakespeare also had an interesting view on hate , because when creating Romeo and Juliet he made their family's despise each other. In his plays hate and love almost play hand in hand , in the case of Romeo and Juliet you can't get one without the other.
Shakespeare combines love and hate by creating the star crossed lovers but making both of their family's hate each other. So they each love each other but not each others last names.

Shakespeare showed his perspective of life and emotions into all of his dramatic plays, many of which are still performed today. His thoughts about love and hate are so relatable because he knew how to put those feelings into actions and sayings, like ¨star-crossed lover¨ and ¨destined by fate¨. He believed love was a beautiful thing and something that can defeat all negative things and can trump hate if it is true. He showed this by showing the dramatic and ambitious acts of two teenagers who fall in-love in one night and how they would both die for each other this cannot be together in marriage.
 On the other hand he saw hate as a war, the way two families can despise each other for decades and put a burden onto their children by raising them to hate others becuase of their name. The way that an entire ¨World¨ can be separated into two just because of a fued that no one truely knows about. How humans will have to hide their true love because their family is filled with hatred. he also showed the hate we all have on the inside, as well as someone who can put that to the side just to have true love. The way a human can go through so much just for a single person.

Romeo and Juliet Reflections

Shakespeare's thoughts on love and hate were very evident. The way that he shows two rival families that hate each other's guts. Then Romeo sees Juliet and falls in love. They do not care that they are suppose  to hate each other. They are just madly in love. This shows that Shakespeare believes that love can pro-vale through hate.
