Romeo and Juliet…
November 17th, 2007 by mahblogonleh"Two households, both alike in dignity, In fair Verona, where we lay our scene, From Ancient grudge break to new mutiny, Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean. From forth the fatal loins of these two foes a pair of star-cross’d lovers take their life; Whose misadventured piteous overthrows Do with their death bury their parents’ strife. And the continuance of their parents’ rage,Which but their children’s end, nought could remove,.."
Romeo and Juliet.. A story of a forbidden love that was faught for by two foes who learned the passion of love and cared nothing about the conflict of their families… They loved a love they never thought they’d ever have… They faught against all odds with their love as their only strength…but was their love strong enough to keep them together??? because in the end… in the end… fate led them to a tragic finish.
I was..no.. AM..addicted to the story of these two lovebirds. At first I thought, I liked it because it was the only Shakespeare novel I understood, but with thourough thinking I found the true reason of this admiration for the story.
Just wondering why so many people had to disagree with their love and thinking that these people were the ones who were very close to them and loved them since birth(family) and, Romeo and Juliet..with so much strength to be weakened by love… Strength to FIGHT for it and Weakness to DIE for it…
They knew from the very start all the possible consequences that they may undergo. They knew they were not supposed to share love for they were enemies in name… But what’s with the name??? the name which pictured such hatred?? Does that mean that every member under those Names have to become enemies?.. is that the reason they had to be seperated??..
In the end, because of such hatred of these two bloods, such sacrifices had to be done. Life. End to the life of these two lovers and to end the love they had begun.
"Where be these enemies? Capulet! Montague!See what a scourge is laid upon your hate, That heaven finds means to kill your joys with Love."
Why must there be such sacrifices fore us realize the mistakes we have been doing?.. Do we still have to wait for someone to get hurt just for us to change the wrongs we have done? Why not reflect early and see if we are worth appreciated by others?.. To see if such power is rightful to be at our hands???… why not start early?… before any problem becomes worse…
Thinking back… the tragic finish of Romeo and Juliet gave a very happy ending….
Their love didn’t actually end. because after death, they can freely love and stay together for eternity in a place where only peace can be found and no barriers would keep them away. In a way, we could say their love won the fight and was strong enough to keep them together…
Also…Their families may have realized how their hate caused do much trouble. That fate could use love to make everything disappear all because of hate and vengeance. This can also serve as a lesson to many readers. The powers of hate and love… That Love is a weakness to be strong… and Hate as the strength to be weak… Wow! Such irony… (",)…
Somehow I don’t understand it… hahaha…which makes me wonder why and How I wrote this thing…
