Anthology from the year 2024 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, , language: English, abstract: This anthology consists of three term papers. The first paper primarily endeavours to elaborate upon the basic conception of tragedy as laid out by imminent critics over the ages; to religiously undertake a comprehensive close study of the classic tragedy "e;Romeo and Juliet"e; written by William Shakespeare; compare and contrast the previous works relating the story and Shakespeare s very own interpretation; to critically scrutinize and elucidate upon the theme of love, its nature and quality, which is the deciding factor of the play, with special reference been made to Sonnet no. 116 by William Shakespeare. Sight is a leading theme in "e;Romeo and Juliet"e; and the frequent use of words relating to visual perception is not random or gratuitous. Therefore, the primary object of the second paper is demonstrating that beside the well-debated forces that govern the action, there are others that may have been neglected. Precisely because readers may focus too much on the love story or on other outstanding elements of the play, such as the comic passages which stand in stark contrast with the tragic theme of the play, a considerable amount of intriguing aspects might escape our attention. These are subtle details, which serve a great purpose in the plot development. On many occasions, vision becomes the cause of a series of events in the play. Why did Shakespeare s Romeo and Juliet have to die? The third paper is going to explore three different reasons: the (seemingly) inevitable fate of the star-crossed lovers , the danger of immature love and the feud with its consequences for society, family, and coming of age. Ultimately, the paper will try to find out what Shakespeare might have wanted to tell his audience and how his messages are conveyed by recent film adaptations.

Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Literature, Works, grade: 9, Babes-Bolyai Universit, language: English, abstract: Sight is a leading theme in Romeo and Juliet and the frequent use of words relating to visual perception is not random or gratuitous. Therefore, the primary object of this thesis is demonstrating that beside the well-debated forces that govern the action there are others that may have been neglected. Precisely because readers may focus too much on the love story or on other outstanding elements of the play, such as the comic passages which stand in stark contrast with the tragic theme of the play, a considerable amount of intriguing aspects might escape our attention. These are subtle details, which serve a great purpose in the plot development. On many occasions vision becomes the cause of a series of events in the play. By this reflection on the faculty of seeing and the organ of visual perception I wish to consider closely these items that can be easily overlooked when dealing with the play. Owing to the fact that Romeo and Juliet is the best-known tragedy of Shakespeare, much has been written about it, mostly concerning the extent of the lovers' and the parents' culpability or destiny's role in contributing to the tragical ending.
