Blog #14

I thought a text about Romeo and Juliet would be adequate for this blog because it is a typical love story that is very famous. It is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare about two lovers, whose deaths eventually unite their families that were always fighting. Love plays its role in many parts of this play. They begin with love at first sight, as if they were meant for each other right then and there like a fairytale. Becuase of their extremely strong love for each other and their parents hatred towards one another, they secretly marry and expect to live their lives together in peace and harmony. Their overpowering love overtakes their morals, loyalty, and emotions. They could jepordize the entire social world such as family and friends just to be with each other. I would never defy my family or friends so I believe shakespeare is trying to tell us that their love was unconditional and never-ending. Yet, Shakespeares writing about love isn't just the normal, perfect, nothing-goes-wrong type of love. It is filled with regret, emotions, and violence.
