The most tragic is that after ROMEO and JULIET married ,Romeo was sent to exile.What was bad was to have juliet marry paris.If you were Juliet, have a boyfriend,what would you do? HATİCE ERDOĞAN

Romeo and Juliet.... It is a tragedy.Before Juliet Romeo thought he couldn't live without Rosaline, but when he saw Juliet his thoughts totally changed.He found the love he look for,and their love was so real that they risked their life....

When Juliet's mother said that she would marry Paris,Juliet didn't accept it,but when she saw Romeo,she wanted to marry him.It is cery interesting:)

ROMEA AND JULİET.....It is tragic play.Juliet is much more sensible than Romeo ,so Romeo said that she is the sun.The Sun represents male because it is unchangeable.The Moon represents female because it is changeable irrationality.

HATİCE ÖZBAŞI

Maybe I can't write poems as good as Shakespeare,but I have written something to explain the love of Romeo and Juliet.

FROM JULIET TO ROMEO

Your absence is like death,
closing all the ways including even a path.
It has come at the best age of my life,
To come to you I should cooperate with a knife.

FROM ROMEO TO JULIET

You were a poem that I would never be bored to read,
but we couldn't live in the world of people, full of greed.
You were also the excuses of all my fault,
I wouldn't live,darling,after I saw you dead in the vault

FROM ROMEO AND JULIET TO THEIR FAMILIES

The feud for which you sacrified us is trivial,
your ilnesses are in your mind maybe our death will heal,
There is only one thing in the world that is real,
It is our love that our deaths will reveal.

Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet is a timeless play that concentrates on many different human emotions and reactions.Both Romeo and Juliet have such a strong love for each other that they both commit suicide when the other dies.This is really a big love

Love is something that we can all relate to in one way or another and it will never change over time. Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet was such a classic that today it is considered a standard. This story was so well written to please audiences that it is still a success....

Shakespeare – Romeo and Juliet… It is a tragic drama which is based on a love between romeo and juliet. In this play, Shakespeare uses different themes motifs and symbols. Among the symbols I found symbol poison much more interesting because it symbolizes human society’s tendency to poison good things such as love, happiness and make them totally fatal...

romeo decides very fast. if he hadn't behave like that, all these things would not be. now you may say "this time it can't be trajedic film" yes you are right. also ilyas your poem is exellent. did you write it.

The events taking place in the story begins very quickly and we come across their happiness very early.this kind of order of events is what we don't generally meet. i think the feud between their family is a shame ,and the peace coming after Romeo and Juliet's death made me so angry that their meaningless behaviours cause this tragedy.

romeo and juliet... it is my favourite play.but ı don't like its end. ıt is really tragedy. romeo found real love after rosaline .. juliet fell in love romeo at first sight. they did eveything for their love, they didn't listen to their families, they didn't give up it and they died for love! today can you see such a big love?

The story is a romantic tragedy, and the play itself was written during the late sixteenth century, yet it still has the power to move modern audiences. Shakespeare made this play effective through its ingenious characterisation, timeless setting . The composer also explores a number of ideas, including love, hate and fate.

what is the most important thing that I am interested in is Shakespeare gives the most importance to Juliet.Juliet is more important for Shakespeare.I understand this from the sentence ın the play which is ".....Than this of Juliet and her Romeo" from this sentence we can undderstand that Julıet takes more attention ın the play..

William Shakespeare is the best writer of all times..:) and "Romeo and Juliet" is the most directed play of Shakespeare.. In the story fate, misery and love are all together.. A long feud between the Montague and Capulet families disrupts the city of Verona, and causes TRAGIC results for Romeo and Juliet.. Maybe it is that tragedy which makes the play one of the most liked and known one.. Who knows..??

It is really tragic. They do love each other very much... but this love ends with tragedy! They die for each other. What a big love...

Modern taste prefers not to be told right at the beginning of a play how it will end; but many in Shakespeare's audience already knew the story and were looking to enjoy how well it was told, not seeking to be surprised by original plot turns. In this story as in the other, the end has already known but I was curious about how events happened. As my friends wrote it is a tragedy.

In the play , i observed that romantism is at the top level.The characters behave under the shadow of their feelings.Of course, the effect of period is unavoidable. I liked the Romeo character, but he is very sensitive. As a man he should have been more logical
in his behaviours.

Shakespeare is considered to be a true romantic.Especially his plays is about hate,love and fate.
Juliet says'My only love sprung from my only hate!'
We can understand that hate and love is so related words as they are used together..

It is very tragic. I often felt sad while listening to the lesson, and felt sad after learning about the final part of the play. Shakespeare uses oxymorons e.g:sick-health. Initially, Romeo loves Rosaline. I was surprised when I learned it. I think Romeo is ungrateful. What would happen if Rosaline was Juliet? Romeo would forget about Juliet.I am sure! In the beginning there is prospect, besides at the end of the Act II Romeo and Juliet marry, but the event comes to an end with a very tragic event: Death. I was affected a lot. I think the wrong behaviours of the people affects love of Romeo and Juliet at most, but also fate. It is undeniable. If Juliet and his Romeo were born in today Europe, their lifes would become more different than they had.

Shakespeare with his Romeo and Juliet, was wonderful. It is like a real world expression. I understand that parents must deal with their child as their friends. In the play, if Juliet's mother dealt with her daughter, nothing would end in tragedy... But she didn't. Maybe Shakespeare wanted to show this to people with his Romeo and Juliet.

They are a pair of star cross't lovers,in the play,there is a chance of coincidence of events which results in the death of Romeo& Juliet.Which enables this play a masterpiece is its being such a touching tragedy,and its having such a sad end.I think that this tragedy reflects not only its time,but also this modern time.Still because of such kinds of trivial matters,or the feud between families,people may die.It gives a good lesson to all of us
