Romeo and Juliet Reflections
I believe that Shakespeare views on love and hate were strong, and he believed in true love, but also truly hating and despising someone. The way he wrote about Romeo and Juliet was very strong and emotional for both love and hate. Romeo and Juliet had the best time of their lives together even when they had just met each other, and the way he used poetry and figurative language to express their love for each other in a more in depth and emotional way. As the balcony scene when Romeo expresses his love for Juliet he exclaims "But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks? It is the East and Juliet is the sun!" On the other side, the way he express the hate and the grude that both families hold for each other is the reason Romeo and Juliet try and run away and is ultimately the cause of their demise. "If ever you disturb our streets again,
Your lives shall pay the forfeit of the peace." This was a quote from the Prince to the Capulets and Montagues, as he was done with their feud and bloodshed that was spilled on the streets, and if it were to happen again they would be executed.
