Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet: The Role of Fate and Free Will

The Power of Fate in the Elizabethan Era

During the Elizabethan era, it was a common belief that a person’s fate was predetermined. Many astrologers believed that the placement of the sun, moon, and stars could determine a person’s fate. The prologue of Romeo and Juliet implies that their love is death marked and that their actions are in control of a larger force. Several characters also hold fate accountable for their choices. By no means is the demise of Romeo and Juliet out of their control. It is not the wonders of fate, but it is the impulsive and desperate actions of the characters that bring about the downfall of Romeo and Juliet.

Shakespeare’s Portrayal of Fate and Decision Making

Throughout history, people have depended on fate as an excuse for their misfortune. In fact, during the Elizabethan era, predeterminism was such a common belief that it would have been considered odd for Shakespeare not to have included characters who strongly believed in fate. Romeo, Juliet, and Friar Laurence blame fate for their actions. Shakespeare’s characters are impulsive decision-makers who act on their emotions and feelings. Most of their decisions throughout the play are made in the heat of the moment. As a result, the characters, along with their friends and family, suffer unimaginable consequences.

Characters’ Justifications: Blaming Fate Over Free Will

Shakespeare’s characters repetitively used fate as an excuse for their poor choices by stating that the situation was simply out of their control. Romeo uses fate to justify his reckless actions instead of taking responsibility. He specifically refers to his unluckiness in being forced to kill his new wife’s cousin when he cries out, “Oh, I am fortune’s fool!” Romeo believed that his fight with Tybalt was unavoidable, that it was his destiny. Juliet also made many thoughtless decisions and blamed them for her unavoidable fate. Upon first seeing Romeo at the party, Juliet tells the nurse to “Go ask his name, if he is married. My grave is like to be my wedding bed.” Here Juliet foreshadows her own death. Juliet understands that marrying Romeo will have terrible consequences, but she willingly chooses to marry him anyway.

Friar Laurence as well contributes greatly to the deaths of the two lovers. Friar Laurence holds fate accountable by exclaiming, “Unhappy fortune! By my brotherhood, the letter was not nice but full of charge, of dear import, and the neglecting it may do much danger.” When Friar John tells him the letter couldn’t be sent, Friar Laurence blames “unhappy fortune” instead of himself. Also, when Friar Laurence finds the two lovers dead, he blames their deaths on “lamentable chance” when he was the one who secretly married them and masterminded the plan in the first place. Again, another character implies that the situation was simply out of their control. By choosing characters who blame fate for their poor choices, Shakespeare insists that people need to take responsibility for their actions.

Conclusion: The Consequences of Rejecting Responsibility

In conclusion, the characters from Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet used their free will to make impetuous choices, which ultimately led to their downfall. The tragedy of Romeo and Juliet could easily have been avoided if the characters had thought rationally. Shakespeare relays an important message throughout the story. If you don’t take responsibility for your actions, your poor choices will lead to bad consequences. All in all, free will is to blame for the foolish characters’ reckless decisions and has led to the demise of Romeo and Juliet.

Analyzing the Tragic Tale of Romeo and Juliet: Forbidden Love and Fatal Feuds

Romeo and Juliet: The Weight of Names and Feuds

‘Tis but thy name that is my enemy; Thou art thyself, though not a Montague. Belonging to a man. O, be some other name! This shows that Juliet wants to be with Romeo, but their family feud is caught between them. Romeo and Juliet is a play where two teenagers in the middle of an intense family feud become “forbidden lovers.” If the Montague and Capulets didn’t have a feud, then Romeo and Juliet would be alive because their forbidden LOVE led to the stress that killed them.

Emotional Distress Stemming from Parental Absence

Romeo’s sadness came from the absence of his parents. “He’s like a flower bud that won’t open itself up to the world because it’s been poisoned from within by parasites.” This means that Romeo is depressed. This can be because of his parents. “When parents are uninvolved, children struggle with self-esteem issues.” This is because Romeo’s parents aren’t involved in his life. They usually do not know where he is. In all, Romeo’s parents lead to Romeo having emotional distress.

Juliet’s ability to quickly make up her mind is because of her parent’s absence. “We must talk privately—Nurse, come back here.” Juliet’s mother is calling back the nurse to help talk to her daughter. This shows that Juliet’s mother is so uninvolved with Juliet’s life that she does not even know how to talk to her daughter. “Children may not receive much guidance, nurturing, and parental attention.” In Juliet’s life, her mother did not raise her; the nurse did. This could limit how much guidance she could have gotten. Overall, Juliet did not get much parental guidance from her parents growing up.

Behaviorism and the Role of Nature vs. Nurture

Behaviorism had a role in street fights. “One of those dogs from the Montague house can make me angry.” This shows that the two households don’t like each other. They learned to not each other: they were not born disliking each other. “Nature is what we think of as pre-wiring and is influenced by genetic inheritance and other biological factors.”  This is because when people are born, they don’t automatically hate somebody. Babies are “blank slates.” Overall, the nurture played a part in the street fights.

Relevance of Romeo and Juliet in Modern Society

Parts of Romeo and Juliet would not happen in modern-day society. “I’ll have you tortured if you don’t put down your swords and listen to your angry prince.” This would not happen in modern society because people do not normally carry swords around. Also, the court system has become more popular. “She and Susan—God rest her and all Christian souls—were born on the same day.” It is not common anymore for somebody else to raise your child in your home. Also, to lose babies as much. In all, most parts of Romeo and Juliet would not happen in modern society.

On the other hand, people argue Romeo and Juliet’s death was caused by nature. Nurture is more correct because Romeo and Juliet developed their emotional attributes from growing up. “We are biologically “wired” so that a certain stimulus will produce a specific response.” This shows that Romeo and Juliet grew up and learned to respond to different situations. “There are numerous studies showing impulsivity in adolescents, and this often results in them partaking in high-risk-behavior.” (tear) This shows that Romeo and Juliet’s love could have resulted from their teenage brains. This is because they knew their parents would never approve of their love. In all, nurture is the reason Romeo and Juliet are dead.

The two family’s feud ended up killing the lovers because their love was forbidden and killed them. This shows that Juliet wants to be with Romeo, but their family feud is caught between them. Romeo and Juliet is a play where two teenagers in the middle of an intense family feud become “forbidden lovers.” ‘Tis but thy name that is my enemy; Thou art thyself, though not a Montague. Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!

Modern Adaptation of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet: A Comparative Analysis

Introduction: Baz Luhrmann’s Take on “Romeo and Juliet”

“For never was a story of more woe than this of Juliet and her Romeo.”Romeo and Juliet as stated by the Prince in William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. While this final line is said by the Prince in Shakespeare’s play, the line is given to the anchorwoman in Baz Luhrmann’s film rendition of the said play (Romeo + Juliet), in which she acts as the “Chorus” of Shakespeare’s play. Although the film and play have overlapping similarities, Luhrmann takes Shakespeare’s play and changes it to better suit the modern adaptation of the film.

Similarities between Luhrmann’s Film and Shakespeare’s Original Play

Comparing Luhrmann’s adaptation of Romeo and Juliet to Shakespeare’s play was a difficult task, as I found a lot more differences than similarities. Given that Luhrmann intended to make a fresh and modern take on Romeo and Juliet, unlike its predecessors, this was forgiven. Before going deep into the contrasting factors of the play and film, I would like to address the similarities. Looking back on the runtime of Luhrmann’s film, the film runtime is slightly over two hours, which is likely a subtle reference to the line from the Prologue in which the play “is now the two hours’ traffic of our stage”. However, this depends on whether the credits and the long clip for 20th Century Fox count as apart of the runtime, for the play only accounts for the time in which the Prologue starts, to the end of the Prince’s dialogue regarding the deaths of the two main characters.

This is a topic best left open for personal interpretation. As for addressing the elephant in the room, one of the most obvious similarities is that the film retains the same dialogue from the play, mostly word for word, with the exception of a few lines added for effect. Iambic Pentameter also included. It did feel a bit odd, as the film was set in the most stereotypical gang war setting possible, while the dialogue was strictly Shakespearean. What I noticed was that one of the most important parts of the play that could not be changed for the film was Friar Laurence’s disastrous plan to reunite Romeo and Juliet together.

This likely was because the result of his plan was what caused the depressing ending. Balthasar telling Romeo about Juliet’s death and Romeo’s reaction were two of the few consistent scenes carried over to the film, mainly because they contained the same dialogue for clarity. The only thing that did change was that the play never addressed how Balthasar found out about her death. However, the film shows that Balthasar briefly attended Juliet’s funeral, which is how he found out about her death.

Modern Elements in Luhrmann’s “Romeo + Juliet”

Looking at the overview of the film, it’s clear that Luhrmann’s modernized adaptation of Shakespeare’s play was forced to change elements of the play in order to suit the tone of the film. One of the biggest changes was the modern setting of the film compared to the play. In order to fulfill this, certain scenes and bits of dialogue were completely cut from the film. Among the scenes cut from the film was the discovery. Luhrmann’s film takes place in Verona Beach, while the play is set in Verona, Italy. This was likely changed because Luhrmann wanted to dissociate the film from the play as much as possible while still retaining the same plot. Another one of the most notable changes is the use of guns.

Conclusion: Adapting Shakespeare for Modern Audiences

The usage of guns made this version of Romeo and Juliet one of the first contemporary adaptations of the play. Ironically enough, the names of the guns used in the film are kinds of swords, purposely named to avoid changing the dialogue as much as possible. Regarding the party at the Capulet mansion, props to Luhrmann for making this one of the cheesiest (and personally terrifying) scenes from the film.

In my opinion, it scarred me for life because of the sudden flashes of light worthy enough to give one a photosensitive epileptic seizure and the odd growling noises coming from Fulgencio Capulet and Tybalt during Romeo’s dizzy spell. Luhrmann completely lifted the intended formality written into the play and turned it into a Las Vegas-esque party. The way Romeo meets Juliet at the party is also changed. Rather than meeting during the dance first, Romeo sees Juliet on the other side of the aquarium tank in the restroom.

The Feminist Discourse in “Romeo and Juliet”: Challenging Gender Norms

The Gender Divide in “Romeo and Juliet”

“The Feminist Approach in Romeo and Juliet” states, “Men control everything in a woman’s life, and women have little or no say in big decisions in their lives. Women who think for themselves are often punished by fate, usually with death.” In Shakespearean times, this was accurate. Juliet, however, was a character that defied these stereotypical gender roles and rebelled against the patriarchy. Whether Shakespeare deliberately used symbolism to display Juliet’s feminism or not is still up for debate, but subtle indications can be found all throughout the play proving Juliet to be androgynous.

In this time period, the idea of a woman having any sort of power was unacceptable, so it is arguable that Shakespeare felt the need to portray his opinions on feminism throughout his plays. While there is a large divide between feminine and masculine assets in the play, Juliet’s character actively switches gender roles, acting as Shakespeare’s platform. In reference to the quote above, Juliet’s rebellion against the patriarchy could have been a factor in her death. Shakespeare uses symbolism to demonstrate Juliet’s feminist rebellion because it was not a socially acceptable topic in his time, creating a subtle tone that can potentially influence today’s feminists.

Symbolism of Masculinity and Femininity

In Shakespearean times, certain objects or phrases were associated with femininity and masculinity but are occasionally still used to this day. For example, the medlar fruit is a term that is used in comparison to a woman, determined purely by the way it looks. On page 77, Mercutio states, “Now he’ll sit under a medlar tree and wish his mistress were one of those fruits that look like female genitalia” (Shakespeare). In addition to the medlar fruit, some other terms that collaborate with femininity include poison (considered to be a woman’s way of killing), and flowers, such as roses.

On page 109, the text states, “‘ Pink flower’ suggests the female genitalia” (Shakespeare). As for masculinity, the term “Popperin pear” was commonly used by men, referring to having sex with a woman. Again, on page 77, Mercutio remarks, “Oh Romeo, I wish she were an open-arse, and you a Popperin pear to ‘pop her in,’” showing how Mercutio wants to take Rosaline’s virginity, once again referring to the female genitalia (Shakespeare). Another object that is portrayed through a masculine lens is a knife/sword.

Only men owned one, and it was also seen as a “man’s way of killing.” On page 7, Sampson compares his sword to his penis, saying, “I have my naked sword out” (Shakespeare). Taking this into consideration, it could be said that a man’s sword, symbolizing his penis, takes the life of a woman when he takes her virginity. These terms/objects project a big divide between femininity and masculinity, making an impact on the gender roles in the play.

Greek Mythology and Gender Roles

Furthermore, Greek mythology was a large part of the culture in the time period of Romeo and Juliet, and it also influenced the gender roles of the characters. In addition to feminine/masculine qualities being added to objects, they can also be applied to Greek mythology. The God (masculine) of the Sun is Helios, and the Goddess feminine of the Moon is Selene. On page 79, Romeo declares, “Rise up, beautiful sun, and kill the jealous moon.” This statement shows an indistinct feminist tone because Romeo is telling Juliet to take on a masculine role the sun and kill her feminine role the moon. It is also implied that Juliet is jealous of the role men play in society, exhibited through the phrase “jealous moon.”

Viewing Greek mythology from another standpoint, Shakespeare also conveyed his views on feminism through Diana, the Goddess of chastity and childbirth. “Artemis, in Greek religion, the goddess of wild animals, the hunt, and vegetation, and of chastity and childbirth; she was identified by the Romans as Diana.” (Augustyn). It is believed that Shakespeare alluded to Diana to project his views on the social construct of virginity. On page 25, Romeo states, “She’s as clever as Diana, and shielded by the armor of chastity.” (Shakespeare) Shakespeare is attempting to project his opinions on virginity through Romeo’s character. The reference to Diana was used to elusively show that society should not determine when a woman has sex. Greek mythology functions as symbolism for Shakespeare’s revolt against gender roles.

Night, Day, and Gender Dynamics

Henceforth, when closely analyzing the play Romeo and Juliet, the time at which significant events happened leaves an impression on the gender roles in society. When crucial elements to the plot take place, they always take place at night. At night, there is a complete loss of inhibitions, which leads to a disregard for societal expectations. The gender roles are completely switched during the night, but in the day, they revert to a patriarchal system. On page 89, Juliet replies, “If your intentions as a lover are truly honorable and you want to marry me, send me word tomorrow.

I’ll send a messenger to you, and you can pass on a message telling me where and when we’ll be married.” (Shakespeare). Juliet’s proposal takes place at night and adheres to the gender switch. While a proposal of marriage is typically seen as something a man should do (especially at this time), Juliet takes on the masculine role and does it herself. Shakespeare is actively trying to show Juliet as a character that defies the patriarchy, and a proposal is a significant way to do it. Another instance in which the gender roles are being switched at night occurs on page 269.

Romeo exclaims, “Oh, that pharmacist was honest! His drugs work quickly. So, I die with a kiss.” Romeo, as well as Juliet, commits suicide at night. Romeo killed himself using a feminine strategy, and Juliet killed herself using a masculine strategy (knife). Juliet says, “My body will be your sheath. Rust inside my body and let me die.” Throughout the play, Juliet is compared to light. Since light is typically associated with masculine assets and following societal expectations, Shakespeare wants to show his audience the pressures he was facing to conform to gender roles.

The light that Juliet is being compared to is the same light that Shakespeare is pressured to follow. On page 267, Romeo announces, “Juliet lies here, and her beauty fills this tomb with light.”  Also, as mentioned previously, when Juliet is told, “Rise up, beautiful sun, and kill the jealous moon”, It further proves the theory that gender roles are switched at night. The controversy between night and day in Romeo and Juliet confirms the desire to resist the patriarchy, as well as gender roles.

Next, the social construct of virginity is used to keep men in positions of power, but Juliet completely riots against this. The suggestion that Romeo and Juliet had sex strengthens Shakespeare’s feminist character. By not letting the concept of virginity internally impact her, she is going against these men in power. Quora explains, “Shakespeare presents Romeo and Juliet as very passionate, and they spend a night together.

There is a strong implication that they had sex”. It can be concluded that Juliet is disregarding the expectations of sex and virginity for women ages 14-15, further implying her role as a feminist. In the time frame of Romeo and Juliet, sex was something that would potentially end a woman’s life. After a woman had sex, she would go on to have children and become a housewife. “The primary roles of women in the time of William Shakespeare were to marry and have children”.

From that point on, the woman was not to be put in a position of power but to simply serve her husband and take care of the children. Juliet completely contradicts her assigned gender role by having sex at the time she chooses, not because society is pressuring her to do so. This rebellion can be seen on page 7. “Cut off their heads, take their maidenheads-whatever. Take my remark in whichever sense you like”. This statement displays the definition of virginity in the society Romeo and Juliet lived in.

A woman’s maidenhead is more commonly known as her virginity. When Sampson implies that taking a woman’s virginity and cutting off her head is the same thing, he proves Juliet’s rebellion against the patriarchy to be true. Virginity, a social concept created by men to keep themselves in power, proves Juliet to be a feminist because she is exhibiting the fact that having sex does not change a woman, internally or externally.

Lastly, while Juliet is shown as a strong feminist, she also exerts some weaknesses that could potentially cause readers to think she agrees with the patriarchal system she is living within. At this time, it was very easy to fall into the pressures of society, and there is evidence that Juliet collapsed into the way society believes she should live her life. “William Shakespeare was obviously not a feminist, based on the actions and dialogue of his different characters” . There are moments in which Juliet bluntly removes herself from the world of feminism she has created for herself.

On page 211, Juliet remarks, “That may be the case because my face doesn’t belong to me”. This statement proves that Juliet believes she is a man’s property, and the only reason she thinks this is because of the environment in which she was raised. Furthermore, on page 213, Juliet says, “And before I-who was married to Romeo by you-am married to another man, I’ll kill myself”. Juliet is saying that she would rather die than be married to anyone but Romeo. This statement shows how dependent she is on another man, weakening her role as a feminist. While these claims are completely valid, Juliet is a feminist because of the large gender switch in the play and her rebellion against the patriarchy.

Conclusively, Shakespeare uses symbolism to demonstrate Juliet’s feminist rebellion because it was not a socially acceptable topic at the time, creating a subtle tone that can influence today’s feminists. The switch between gender roles can further prove Juliet to be androgynous, meaning she is excluded from either gender role. There are many platforms in which William Shakespeare portrayed his feminist views, including feminine/masculine objects, Greek mythology, dark vs. night, and the social construct of virginity. The large split between feminine and masculine assets is quite evident in the play, and Juliet accentuates it with pride.

An Exploration of “Romeo and Juliet” in the Elizabethan Era

Theater in the Elizabethan Era

The reign of Queen Elizabeth I was extended between 1558 and 1603, and under her rule, England brought out a collection of valuable literary works. When the Elizabethan word is used, it extends beyond its death by about ten or fifteen years. This age is distinguished by the superiority of three literary forms: drama, songs, and sonnets. Sonnet is a short story consisting of 14 lines. In this section, we will shed light on the drama of the Elizabethan time and the most important writer which is William Shakespeare. Finally, we will discuss one of his most famous works, Romeo and Juliet.

Shakespeare: The Gem of the Elizabethan Period

Shakespeare is the most eminent poet of the Elizabethan period, and before the recognition of his most important work, it must be noted that Shakespeare had appeared in an age when the literary movement was burning, especially as we mentioned earlier that the printing press took its way to the world.

William Shakespeare’s father, John, was a person with no formal education aside from some years in an exceedingly public college. He created one thing of himself within the world, though, running his own business as a glove maker Associate in Nursing, changing into a representative within the city council of town in Warwickshire. He married Madonna Arden, United Nations agency that had no formal education in the least.

Young William was their third kid, and they were to travel on to own five additional ones. The family lived in a very row house right in the middle of Stratford. John used one amongst the downstairs rooms as a workshop and displayed his gloves on the sills of the windows that looked out onto the street. Like his father, William created one thing of himself within the world in spite of the dearth of formal education that amounted, as was the case together with his father, to a number of years in a very public faculty. That wasn’t the top of his education, however, and we understand from his plays that, though self-instructed, he was terribly intimate in history, geography, philosophy, and a few areas of science. He scans wide, with AN interest in translations of the newest books from Europe.

Romeo and Juliet: A Timeless Tale

The material of this play is taken from the tragic story of Romeo and Juliet, played in the form of a poem by Arthur Brock in 1562. The story is also known in other literary forms that appeared in Italy. Romeo and Juliet, one of the good works of land author William Shakespeare is one of the classics of the planet that depicted loads within the plays and flicks recent and trendy and appeared in several languages of the planet, thus becoming an obsessive or caring named as Romeo further as for Juliet.

Romeo and Juliet are about in Verona, Italy, wherever there’s an associate degree in progress feud between the Montague and Capulet families. The play opens with servants from each home engaged during a street brawl that eventually attracts the family patriarchs and, therefore, the town officers, together with patrician Escalus. The patrician ends the conflict by issuing a decree that prohibits it from now on fighting at the chance of nice penalization.

Meanwhile, Romeo, a young man from the Montague house, laments his nonreciprocal love for a girl named Rosaline. United Nations agency has vowed to stay chaste for the remainder of her life. Romeo and his friend Benvolio happen to stumble across a Capulet servant, Peter. United Nations agency is trying to browse a listing of invitees to a disguised party at the Capulet house that evening. Romeo helps Peter browse the list and decides to attend the party because Rosaline is there. He plans to wear a mask in order that he can no one can acknowledge him as a Montague.

Romeo arrives at the Capulets’ party in costume. He falls soft on young Juliet Capulet from the instant he sees her. However, Juliet’s relative Tybalt acknowledges their lover and desires to kill him on the spot. Lord Capulet intervenes, insisting that Tybalt not disturb the party because it’ll anger the blue blood. Undeterred, the lover quietly approaches Juliet and confesses his love for her. When exchanging fond words, they kiss.

The Tragedy Unfolds

Afterward, Juliet’s Nurse tells her lover that Juliet could be a Capulet, which upsets the smitten fry. Meanwhile, Juliet is equally agitated once she finds out that her lover could be a Montague.

Before the half, they agree that Juliet can send her Nurse to satisfy her lover at 9 o’clock the ensuing day; for that purpose, he can set an area for them to be married. The Nurse carries out her duty and tells Juliet to satisfy her lover at the chapel where spiritual Laurence lives and works. Juliet meets her lover there, and conjointly the spiritual marries them in secret.

Benvolio and Mercutio (another one of Romeo’s friends) are waiting on the road later that day once Tybalt arrives. Tybalt demands to grasp wherever their lover is, so he will challenge him to a duel, to penalize him for being unfavored in the party. Mercutio is eloquently imprecise; however, the lover happens to arrive in the middle of the verbal sparring. Tybalt challenges him. However, the lover passively resists fighting; for that purpose, Mercutio jumps in and attracts his weapon to Tybalt.

A lover tries to dam the two men. However, Tybalt cuts Mercutio and runs away, solely to come back when he hears that Mercutio has died. Angry over his friend’s death, his lover fights with Tybalt and kills him. Then, he decides to escape. Once aristocrat Escalus arrives at the murder scene. He banishes his lover from the metropolis forever. The Nurse tells Juliet the unhappy news regarding what went on to Tybalt and their lover. Juliet is heartbroken; however, she realizes that her lover would are killed if he had not fought Tybalt. She sends her Nurse to seek out her lover and provides him with her ring.

That night, the lover sneaks into Juliet’s space, and they consummate their wedding. Future morning, he’s forced to depart once Juliet’s mother arrives.

During Lover and Juliet’s sole night alone, however, Lord Capulet decides that Juliet ought to marry a young man named Paris; the United Nations agency has been inquiring for her hand. Lord and Girl Capulet tell Juliet of their arrangement. However, she refuses, exasperating her father.
