Romeo and Juliet

Romeo and Juliet is the tragedy of not knowing.


The short, but nevertheless passional and unlucky
love story of the young nobles, covers a lot of
different themes in a really original way.
Those elements make it the evergreen masterpiece
that everyone knows.
For example in the scene I.Iv we observe Romeo‘s
love troubles.He is talking about Rosaline and how
their unconstant relation makes him feel desperate.
This is a typical Shakespearian theme : if love is
not constant is not true love. Real love does not
change when everything around is permutating.
Only the relationship with Juliet is real and it will
be the same until the death of both lovers.

Another relevant part is the mortal duel between


Mercutio and Tybalt.
It can be considered as the last straw. In fact after
the fatal death of Mercutio, Romeo seeks revenge
and kills Tybalt. The tension between the two
Verona families is sky high and the Prince of the
city decides to banish the young Montague.
He is forced to leave his young wife, and for a
divine punishment he will never know the truth
about her end.
