Have you ever seen changes in
relationships in between a decade and present time? In the book Romeo and
Juliet by William Shakespeare, during different time period’s
relationships/dating practices change and leave the old dating stuff behind and
use the present time ways to date.
The common dating practicing of each
time period will change because over many years people will have adapted
different ways to date. In this common book Romeo Montegue and Juliet Capulet, Juliet’s
father chose’s a spouse for his daughter to marry (arranged marriage). But
instead she sneaks around with a Romeo, who meet at a masquerade party where
they both are fall fondly in love. In act 1 scene 5, at Capulet’s party where
they both are attending, they happily meet but to find out that they
belong to enemy houses. “If I profane, my unworthiest hand this holy shrine,
this gentle sin is this, my lips two blushing pilgrims, ready stand to smooth
this rough touch with a tender kiss.” I feel like this quote means Romeo is
quickly falling in love with Juliet and is talking into giving her a kiss. This
also shows how fast they fell in love bin a matter of hours.
While the two (Romeo and Juliet) are
in love although they aren’t supposed to be together, Romeo still tries and
makes his way to her wondrous palace. Here Romeo is risking his life because of
their love. Nothing can get in their way of loving each other. “So thou wilt
woo, but else not for the world, in truth fair Montague, I am to fond. This
quote is showing how much they love each other. When
Juliet says the word “I am too fond”
that means she is too much in love. It is obvious that the two need to be
together.
Romeo and Juliet; knowing that they
are not suppose to be with each other, when it kills them dearly not to. When Romeo funds about Juliet’s “death” he looses it and buys
potion from his fellow friend Friar Lawrence so he would kill himself to be
with her, “Eyes look at you last! Arms, take your last embrace! lips, O you,
the doors of breath, seal with a righteous kiss. A dateless bargain to
engrossing death!” this quote shows that Romeo would do anything to be with his
Juliet. Not knowing that she went unconscious on purpose just to be with him.
The text doesn’t really relate to me
in anyway because I have never been in love before. I can understand why people
love one another, I think that the reader should know the relationship Romeo
and Juliet had, and how they made risks to see one another. Romeo and Juliet is
a very interesting and romantic love story with practices that no longer happen
these days
