Teenage Issues
William Shakespeare’s great tragedy Romeo and Juliet is a play which addresses the ideas and dilemmas that have faced teenagers since it was written nearly 500 years ago. Three predicaments which are encountered in this play are teenage suicide, rebelliousness, and love. Romeo and Juliet is the tale of two teenagers, whose families are sworn enemies. Romeo and Juliet meet and fall in love. Upon realizing that the objects of their affections are their families sworn enemies, they decide to marry, without parental knowledge or consent. When Juliet’s father announces that she is to marry another man, she fakes her death so that she can remain faithful to her husband Romeo, without admitting her disobedience to her parents. Romeo had at this point been banished from Verona for murdering Juliet’s cousin. He returns immediately after receiving news that his wife is dead. He commits suicide so that he does not have to live without his wife and lover, Juliet. Juliet awakes from her slumber to find Romeo dying beside her, and quickly plunges his dagger through her own chest. In my opinion this is the story of two teenagers, who like many teenagers today, do not think things through and rush into love and a web of deceit. Love is something which teenagers seem to always be searching for and falling in and out of. In the play, Romeo has been urged by his friends to ‘crash’ Juliet’s families party so that he will get over Rosaline, whom he was pining over. Basically, Romeo falls in love with Juliet on the rebound. This is Juliet’s first love, and even today girls become slightly obsessed with their first loves. Juliet’s obsession with Romeo is made evident not only in her soliloquy on the balcony, but in her willingness to do anything to be with Romeo. In Juliet’s soliloquy, she speaks of her love for Romeo, and her desire to be with him despite their families. Romeo now infatuated with Julie... Please login to view comments from other users.
