450 wordsHas Shakespeare convinced you that Romeo and Juliet are in love at the end of act one? What is love? Love means a warm liking or affection for a person, affectionate devotion. Does the way Romeo describe Juliet sound like love to you? In my opinion love does not occur at first sight, it is something that you need to work towards.

In Romeo and Juliet, love is depicted in several ways. Both the movie (1996) and the play (1597) represent love in different ways and in dif...

Romeo's And Juliet's Deaths
1,138 words? It is not so much the central characters of the play, Romeo and Juliet themselves, as the minor characters that are responsible for their tragic end.?

The most commonly seen reason for Romeo's and Juliet's downfall would be the feud between the Capulets and the Montague's. However, the over-looked, minor characters play an important role in the downfall of Romeo and Juliet. They were...
