Does the play even make a distinction? Love and infatuation in Romeo and Juliet defiantly catches my eye.…
can be considered the most known tragic love stories known to humanity. Not only do the two protagonists commit suicide, the causes of why the whole story leading up to their deaths is disputed from around the globe. My opinion is that the ages of the characters, particularly Romeo caused this immense tragedy. His age caused him to develop many flaws, his idea of love, his imaturaty, and his impulsivenes. Romeo's idea of love was way too dramatic. From the first time we meet Romeo, the reader…
Gibson- Gibson is my first preference to be a Resident Assistant in next year because I like that it is a alcohol, drug free building. I would enjoy Gibson because I think that I could relate to the other people that live there. I have been in Gibson on different occasions this year and last year and the tone that it has is very focused. I feel like my experience in Davis has prepared me for being an RA in Gibson. I think that I would bring my malleability to Gibson and also my willingness to…

devotion to love is one that can truly be amazing in its own way. People will do things to the extreme sometimes for love, not thinking about the consequences.

“A miracle! Here’s our own hands against our hearts” (5.4.91). This proclamation, made by the sworn interminable bachelor Benedick of the play Much Ado About Nothing, expresses the love he vowed he’d never fall into, and demonstrates the extreme effect that a lie can spark. His story with Beatrice, another character, shows that good things can result out of deceitful situations, while Hero’s, another character’s, shows that that is not always the case. Throughout the play, William Shakespeare…
ii after all other leading characters have been introduced. Interestingly, it is Mortimer -- and not Edward -- with whom the Queen is first seen talking. Mortimer asks: 'Madam,whither walks your majesty so fast?' And Isabella replies: 'Unto the forest, gentle Mortimer'. Thus at first sight it becomes clear that the Queen shares a cordial, if not intimate, relationship with Mortimer. She addresses him as gentle Mortimer. The Queen does not hide to Mortimer…
