Romeo talks about defying stars, which is not appropriate to do because it is not good to challenge suprnatural powers
"Is it e'en so? Then I defy you, stars!"
Romeo and Juliet fall in love despite the conflict between their families and face the consequences later.
Honour: a lesson is learned from that one should always honor their neighbours and citizens and conflict between the citizens and neighbours could lead to destructing or tragic consequences.
He journeys to Ireland
He fights for the kingdom.
He won Isolde.
Tristan represents archetype of a hero
-Similarly in Romeo and Juliet there is a conflict between Montagues and Capulets but in a different context.
The hero's journey - They are both considered heroes of love
Romeo and Juliet also marry each other secretly as well.
-Intellectually gifted Heloise, who strives for knowledge, truth and the answer to the question of human existence.
Abelard was 22 years older than Heloise.
There is a similarity between this love story and the love story of Romeo and Juliet according to the age factor. In this play, it is unusual for a man that old to marry a girl much younger than him. Similarly, in Romeo and Juliet, it is unusual for the characters that young to marry each other (According to modern world).
Similarly, Romeo and Juliet commit suicide at the end of the play.
Here Juliet speaks about the family feud. She means that love is bigger than this feud.
"Give this ring to my true knight" -Juliet (Act 3, Scene 3)
This contrast is tone of the play causes the audience to be pulled in, because they know something bad it going to happen, but they don't know when
The prologue just detailed a tragedy that will occur, which is immediately followed by silly, sexual humour that intrigues the audience, and makes them wonder when this tragedy will happen.
He constantly changes between a happy and depressed mood, which loosely represents the mood of all characters in the play at the time
When Romeo is exiled, Lady Montague dies of a broken heart
This suggests a deeper connection is present between the two than Juliet and her mother, or at the very least Lady M. cares for her son very much and does not want him exiled
Unlike the Capulets' relationship, the Montagues seem to at least care for each other, since Lady M. prevents Lord M. from going to battle for fear of his safety
Their relationship seems to be unhappy, as Lady C. calls Lord C. an 'old man'
When Romeo is sad about Rosaline in the beginning of the play, his parents are worried, but do not go and help Romeo themselves, they ask Benvolio to help Romeo
This shows the lack of personal connection between Romeo and his parents, as they must ask his friend to make sure he is feeling alright
This distancing between Romeo and his parents is also mirrored in Juliet's relationship with her parents, as Lady Capulet cannot talk with Juliet unless the Nurse is also present
This is one of the main messages of the play, since the children who have no parental figure in their life end up making poor descisions
Lady Capulet cannot talk to Juliet without the presence of the Nurse
Although Lady Capulet is Juliet's mother, their relationship is not good enough to even talk to each other by themselves
The nurse is the closest thing Juliet has to a mother, but the Nurse is far from the perfect motherly character
Juliet begins as an obedient child, and Capulet loves her Juliet then becomes rebellious to her father's wishes, causing him to fly into a rage and seeming disown her
Capulet only loves Juliet if she obeys him, but once she goes against his wishes, he does not love her anymore
Shows the controlling nature of Capulet, as he wants to protect his family name and does not want to lose power over his own daughter
Here, Romeo kills himself because he loves Juliet so much This draws the audience in because they know the truth, but Romeo doesn't This also shows that love is destructive, because Romeo kills himself for Juliet, even though she is alive, but his love had blinded him.
Forshadows Friar John's mistake Foreshadows the tradgedy of both lovers
"let lips do what hands do" Romeo (Act 1, Scene 5)
This is an implied stage direction because Romeo and Juliet join hands here as they are talking
"God joined my heart and Romeo's, thou our hands" -Juliet (Act 4, Scene 1)
In Romeo and Juliet's relationship, hands make decisions. They are powerful because they can be destructive; they join hands in marriage, Juliet takes a dagger into her hand
"She speaks, yet she says nothing... to twinkle in their spheres" -Romeo (Act 2, Scene 1)
This light represents their love; it gets rid of any kind of darkness or struggle. It gives hope. Juliet later speaks about the fued between families, this light could get past that.
Here Romeo says that Juliet's eyes speak for her. They are like stars - close to heaven, twinkling
Her eyes, like stars, speak- reference to fate and the stars: you can't control what they say, it's up to fate... like love
twinkling - they show signs of light, signs of showing hope and love, just like their relationship is right now.
"It is the East, and Juliet is the sun" -Romeo (Act 2, Scene 1)
