The play of Romeo and Juliet

A good literature must follow a pattern that leads a whole play make senses. And this pattern includes many things, such as settings, musics/sounds,climax and time. Romeo and Juliet is a classical example, which basically tells a miserable story. The story embroidered on Romeo and Juliet and reflect many conflicts. And the general time line is from Romeo and Juliet first see each other, and then they fell in love and they met so many problems that given by their hostile famailes,ultimately they died in love.

In this play, the major conflict is between Romeo,juliet and their families. In my opinion, I supporte their families trying to stop their love for two reasons. First, it shows clearly on the timeline that Romeo and Juliet just meet first time and then fall in love, this love is just too hury. readers will easily think that they love each other’s appearence but not soul. Second, it will be very boring if delete this conflict. This story is about great love,so it is necessary to give them some difficulties. Hence it shows nothing can bother people who are in love. Also, conflict developed plot pretty much, for example when they thinking of an idea that can avoid the wedding.

There is another interesting character in the play called Firiar Lawrence who seem to be out of the pattern. Because it is hard to figure he is bad or not. He is like a problem solver, he came up so many ideas to help Romeo and Juliet, but we don’t know what is his purpose. He might hides something, he might has his own desire. He is a mystery character in the play. My expression of him is not good, oppositily I think he indirectly caused the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. Therefore he can be one of the conflicts or a problem that Romeo and Juliet have to overcome.

Play is not a simple literature because it includes not only languages,but sounds and Images. Souds and Images’s functions are mostly for explaining. For instance “It was the lark,the herald of the morn,no nightingale.” suggests it is morning now. Of course-during the play, there should be a part of lark’s sing.

Climax is the mosting excited part of the play, it decides what kind of result is going to be. For Romeo and Juliet,between Juliet fake death and die for love is the climax. It tells they will not have a happy ending. Moreover, climax is also for telling theme, which is nothing can stop the true love, people are brave when they fall in love because they deeply know they are not alone. However the love that is not blessed by people is doomed to be costly whether soul or life. It is just like Romeo and Juliet, they died for love. To some extent, they are successful, they go to other place to love to stay forever.

These three factors make a good play. Always remember play is not a simple literature, play has many famaily members follow as one pattern, which are conflicts,musics and climaxs.
