One major theme that I believe has been portrayed throughout
the play is “Love vs Lust” has been shown. The quote “If he married, my grave
is like to be my wedding bed” which
is said by Juliet has a unfathomable meaning. In my opinion, this quote is
portraying that if Juliet gets married to someone else, or when she has passed
away, she will forever be waiting on her true love Romeo. Romeo is probably the
only one she could ever love, because for her it was Love at first sight. Her
love towards him is astonishing; she’d rather die than marry anyone else.
The second quote I chose was “Alike bewitched by the charm
of looks” in my opinion, this quote is portraying that when they first seen
each other, they never based it on personality it was based on the way they
both looked, and how one another appeared. It does not say that they fell for
each other, based on their personality or the way the person is on the inside. The
night of the Capulet’s party Romeo had seen her and chased after her because he
fell in love with her beauty instantly.
She had felt the same way about him
from the time she had noticed he had spotted her across the room. They talked
for a second, and she ran with him and kissed him. Since then they have been inseparable, gazing over each other any chance they get. It’s due to lust that they first fell in love,
love at first sight lead them to be together.
This is a good post Sarah - however the assignment asked for you to explore two topics by turning them into theme statements and using your quotations to discuss them.
