Is the love between Romeo and Juliet true?
Is the love between Romeo and Juliet true? In the classic tragic tale of Romeo and Juliet we appose the question "was the love true between the two characters?" There are many scenes in the play that show the compassion and understanding of Romeo and Juliet's love. This compassion could be mistaken for infatuation, love at first sight, or something more meaningful such as destiny. This tragic play is written by William Shakespeare, in the 16th century and this beautifully demonstrates how people of the opposite sex act towards each other. The strong character-Romeo is part of the Montague family, willing to fight for his family and the people he loves. Juliet is part of the Capulet family; her character is seen to be very sensitive and alone as she was neglected by her parents and so was raised by her nurse. There has been an existent feud between the two families for years. Therefore a dilemma was presented as the result of Romeo and Juliet's passionate love. The dilemma is that both lovers do not want to disappoint their respective families, nor do they want to disappoint each other. In the relationship between Romeo and Juliet, a lot of romance is involved and is exemplary of their true love too. Juliet is incredibly anxious and eager to get married to Romeo even though she knows her family could never accept him into the family. This shows the strong bond they had and

Coursework II (i) Val was a single mother with two children who was granted a tenancy in a two bed roomed maisonette owned by Singleton Council pursuant to the council's duty to rehouse under the Homeless and Housing Act (fictional). After eighteen months the property was transferred to Hometrust, an independent housing association, set up by the council. Shortly, afterwards, Val had a dispute with one of her neighbours which resulted in a heated exchange of words and a slamming of doors. This was reported and she was subject to a disciplinary procedure organised by Hometrust. Without being given the benefit of legal representation or a hearing she was found guilty and informed by Hometrust that her tenancy agreement would be terminated in six months time. This would mean that Val would be made homeless.

William Shakespeare and his life.
Question 1: William Shakespeare and his life Very little it known about William Shakespeare's early years. There is no record of this live birth, but all that is known is that he was born in Stratford-upon-Avon in April of 1564. But there is record of him being baptized on the 26th of April, and since he died on the 23rd of April, most historians say that he was born on April 23rd, the same day he was born. William's parents were John and Mary Shakespeare. His father held very high position in the little town. He was a whittawer and was a member of the city council, then constable, chamberlain, alderman, and the high bailiff (almost town mayor). A record of steep debt pulled John out of the high position and was kicked out of church for not paying his debts. Mary mothered 8 children, including William. William was the 3rd child and the first son. He would have attended Stratford's grammar school, of course, like all other records of the time, any documents proving his attendance have been lost. On November 28, 1582, a town bishop issued a wedding bond for William "Shagspeare" and Anne Hathaway. Anne was three months pregnant at the time of the wedding and 8 years his senior. On May 26, 1583, Susanna, their first child, was baptized. Two years later, Anne gave birth to twins, Hamnet and Judith, Hamnet wouldn't live past the age of 11. Their isn't any record known record

How far do you believe that Act 3 Scene 5 of Romeo and Juliet is a pivotal scene in the play? Consider how this scene should be staged, including advise for the actress playing Juliet. Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy, which was written about four hundred years ago by William Shakespeare. It was written in a time, which is very different from today. Back then it was common for teenage girls of fourteen (like Juliet) or even younger to get married. This was because it would be more likely for them to have children if they were younger and it would ensure that the girls were virgins when they got married. Romeo and Juliet was also written for the patriarchal society, which is a society that is based on the men of the family and the men were said to be the head of the household. I believe that Act 3 Scene 5 is a pivotal scene in the play because it is when the tension in the audience changes dramatically. This is because when Lady Capulet told Juliet that she would marry Juliet changed from the obedient girl that she had been before to a girl that does not do everything that her mother and father say she should. "Marry, my child, early next Thursday morn", after Lady Capulet tells Juliet that she will marry Juliet disagrees. This leaves the tension in the audience and on stage high because the audience are scared for Juliet because they are wondering what Capulet will
Act 4 scene 3 of “Romeo and Juliet” is very emotional and dramatic. Write about what happens in this scene and how it fits in with the rest of the play.
Act 4 scene 3 of "Romeo and Juliet" is very emotional and dramatic. Write about what happens in this scene and how it fits in with the rest of the play. In my essay, I shall write about certain features of the performance "Romeo and Juliet" by the distinguished dramatist William Shakespeare. "Romeo and Juliet" falls into one of three main categories of Shakespeare's plays, as it is a tragedy. A tragedy is a play with an unhappy ending usually due to a fatal flaw in the main character(s). This in turn leads to a final catastrophe, which brings the tragedy to an end. In particular, I shall focus on Act 4 Scene 3, which is a very dramatic and emotional scene. I shall state the ways in which this is achieved and the ways in which the play is effective as a tragedy. Additionally, I shall cross-reference this scene with other events in the play to show how they contribute to the emotion and drama of Act 4 Scene 3 and in doing so I shall write about the ways in which this scene fits in with the rest of the play. Lastly, I shall try and direct Act 4 Scene 3 with the intention of showing the ways in which this scene is emotional and dramatic and attempt to make it even more gripping for any potential audience. The first thing to understand when writing my essay is the actual plot of "Romeo and Juliet." "Romeo and Juliet" takes place in the Italian City of Verona, where two
Sympathy for the Devil? How does Mary Shelley persuade the reader to pity Frankensteins Creature?
"Sympathy for the Devil?" How does Mary Shelley persuade the reader to pity Frankenstein's Creature? Mary Shelley published Frankenstein in 1818. At that time, the Gothic Horror genre was becoming increasingly popular. The Gothic Horror genre combined the genres of horror and romance and is often associated with dark castles, murder and monsters. The idea for the novel came about during a dream while Shelley and her husband Percy were staying with Lord Byron. She then used that dream as a basis for a story for a ghost story competition. At the time, the Industrial Revolution was occurring and science was being developed. Scientists carried out experiments with electricity, trying to bring frogs back to life. Shelley visited an alchemist's castle in the Rock of Franks where she was inspired by the alchemy. Two of Shelley's daughters had died which influenced her to make the novel about life and death. She would relate to Frankenstein in the novel as members of both their families die young when it is not their fault. She was brought up with writers as her parents wrote about politics and society and her husband Percy Shelley and friend Lord Byron were both romantic poets. The main themes explored in the novel are creation, rejection, jealousy, power and misuse of it, revenge and responsibility. Creation because of Frankenstein's desire to create a form of life, rejection as
Romeo and Juliet - Analysing Capulet.
Steven Gregson 11I Romeo and Juliet Analysing Capulet A good father in the 21^st Century should be trusting - He should be approachable, so that you can go and ask him for things and know that you will be safe and sensible with what you do. He should be honest, So that he can tell you his truthful opinions rather than making something up to make awkward situations seem better for not only us, but him. He should be reliable, so you can count on him that he'll be there when you need him. Caring, about everything you are and you do. Someone who gives guidance rather than dictating what you do. Somebody you can talk to when you need to and they will listen to your needs. Able to provide a safe environment for you to live in and around. Supportive when you feel you need him the most. A good father in Shakespearian times was the Head of the house; whatever he said or did was acknowledged and taken heed of. They were expected to ensure that the family name, honour and fortune were upheld. All of their fortune was inherited; they did not have to work for the money. Being the father, this made him the man of the house, so he ruled the family. He was expected to arrange a good marriage for his children, usually meaning that he married them into another well off family! Capulet is a typical Shakespearian father. We first see Lord Capulet in Act 1, Scene 1; when the
Nature is not just a matter of presenting landscapes, scenes and creatures; it is a source of inspiration and emotion.
Nature is not just a matter of presenting landscapes, scenes and creatures; it is a source of inspiration and emotion. The two poems in which I feel use nature as a source of inducing emotion and meaning to the reader are London, William Blake and To Autumn, Lord Byron. Both poems present nature in highly contrasting forms. To Autumn is a strongly appreciative poem of nature. It presents the cycle of nature and season, a depth to which the narrator appears to be contemplating what autumn represents. The poets is gives a calm and peaceful feeling which is purely created by the scenery and way in which Byron presents nature. London on the other hand contrasts the beautiful scenery of To Autumn by portraying an image of a poverty ridden city where depression is rife. There seems to be an apparent link between the poems which shows how the presentation of nature alters the emotions felt by the reader towards the way of life. Landscape is a main factor that distinguishes these poems. It appears to be the foundation of the poems meanings. The landscape is created by both poets through nature, either in its natural form or of the lacking appearance of natural form. To Autumns main theme is natures seasons and the transitions that take place to nature over time. The narrator is describing the ripening of fruit, possible in an orchard. The beauty of natures changing form is
