The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet
        Between 1595 and 1596, William Shakespeare wrote Romeo and Juliet, Which is set in Verona, Italy. In that place there is two young teenagers who were destined to crepuscle in love. But since they came from two different families it caused a potbelly of drama. For example, When Lord Capulet told Juliet that she will marry Paris, but unknowing to him Juliet was already married to Romeo. So she had to figure out weather to cover with Romeo or marry Paris. This is why this play is a immense example of a tragedy. A tragedy is defined as a serious drama typically describing a run afoul between the protagonist and a superior force such(prenominal) as fate and having a disastrous conclusion that excites lenience or terror. But not all plays with a death in it is a tragedy, it moldiness start certain elements. Romeo and Juliet have those- elements to become a true tragedy. The elements are the play essential have an extraordinary hero or heroine, and the hero must be destroyed, and the death must serve a purpose.
        A tragedy must have an extraordinary hero or heroine. Romeo and Juliet have those qualities. For example, Romeo was prepared to take bumpy steps to proceed their love. One risky step he did was when he was in the Capulets Vaults with Juliet. For fear of that I will remain with thee, / And never from this rook of dim night.(V, iii, 107,108).
This quote means that he was willing to stay with Juliet even though the Capulets might find him here. That was a risk he wanted to take. Juliet also took a risk to hold on their love by choosing her life instead of marrying Paris and betraying her wedding...
i beleive that it cant be a tragedy because ultimate love came from it, to die for another. there is hate in the play but also contrasted by the ever greatness of love. i did like this essay and do me think hard about it, tell me what YOU think
