Critique on Romeo and Juliet


Romeo and Juliet is a classic story, which represents the whole genre love. All ages have heard of or read the actual play, which was written more than a century ago. Although Romeo and Juliet has a background of princess and a prince falling in love with each other, the hatred between the two families make it a forbidden love. Shakespeare conveys the deepness of how m

uch a love can be in such a short amount of time. Romeo and Juliet did not even meet each other for a week, but loved each other dearly than any other couple.

Many people consider this play as a tragedy, but to me, the play has a good ending. Of course, it would have been better if everybody stayed alive and enjoyed their lives together on land, but each person's death contributed to a large shift in the story, so that the play could convey the specific theme and reasoning. For example, if Romeo and Juliet had survived and the parents gave up on hating each other, they would have not been able to deplete the whole madness that lived inside of them for generations. The death of Romeo and Juliet expressed to both of the families that they loved each other more than anything else and that it was meaningless of them fighting together.
