The play is all time favourite and popular for some incidents which are mentioned in almost all the acts and scenes in a very interesting way. For example, the enmity between the families of Capulets and Montagues. At the start of the play the people come to know about the great tussle that is the extent of hate is so severe that even the servants of these families are looking for fight as they meet some where in the streets. “Gregory: the quarrel is between our masters and us their men.” “Sampson: Tis all one. I will show myself a tyrant. When I have fought with the men, I will be cruel with the maids. I will cut off their heads.” They began to taunt one other in hot words. Most of the time the intensity of quarrel is so high that head or elder of the families get dragged into these. “Capulet: what noise is that? Give me my long sword, ho!” “L. Capulet a crutch! Why call you for sword?” “Montague: Thou Villain Capulet! Hold me not, let me go”. “L. Montague: Thou shalt not stir one foot to seek a foe.” The author has written all about such incidents which makes favourite amongst the readers.
The romance in Romeo and Juliet starts from the very first act, scene one. It is between Romeo and Rosaline, although it is just one sided, but still it has been described in a very attractive way. How ever the real love between the leading couple of the play is the most eye catching thing for the spectators and the interesting part for the readers to read the love story of Romeo and Juliet is absolute legend for the whole world and for all the generation to come.
“Romeo: Ah, Juliet, if the measure of the joy
Be heaped like mine, and that thy skill be more
To blazon it, then sweeten with thy breath.”
“Juliet: but my true is grown to such excess,
I cannot sum up sum of half my wealth.”
The character of Friar Lawrence is very kind and sympathetic. He always wants to help the young couple to get them married.
The people watching the play or reading it always expect some thing good from t his person. He did his best for the couple to live together as a husband and wife, but the wedding he planned actually changes into a funeral, which creates a big tragedy for the readers or spectators
I think the temporary death of Juliet is a very turning point of the play as the audience is full of curiosity at this point it really creates some sort of suspense amongst the audience as they start thinking over Juliet’s temporary death. When Romeo takes his own life, the spectators might think either he was also given the same type of potion as Juliet have had or Juliet might have the real poison.
Friar Lawrence reaches that place, where Juliet starts coming back to senses. Juliet finds Romeo’s body who has poisoned himself and when she hears peoples coming towards her, she kills herself with Romeo daggers
The Capulet and the prince reach this sight, where the dead bodies are present. The Montagues also arrive on scene, where Friar Lawrence begins to explain the whole tragedy. The two families express their remorse over the death of their beloved children. This creates a very strange sense amongst the public that the two families pay out a big cost of their children to end the enmity between them. They make promise not to be hostile ever again and to make statue of Romeo and Juliet as a memorial of their children and to show that two families are now at peace.
Even today, they want to read about the description of all the fight that take place through out the play.
