=Shakespeare's Tragic tale of Love and Lust.= The magnificently written Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare is a tragic tale about lust and love, and the lovers take there own lives. The tale takes place in a Italian city called Verona were two rival family are in a dispute against which house is superior, but out of this, two destined lovers found each other and fell in love. But in thinking too fast their plan gets crushed and turns into something far more depressing then it should have been. Don’t fall in love too quickly, this is Shakespeare’s warning to us when he says, "Wisely and slow/ They stumble that run fast." The entirety of the play’s theme is summed up in this quote. The whole play takes place in a time span of three days and in those three days they fall in love, get married, commit three or more crimes and kill each other in the devastating ending of this beautiful love story. As product of their death, their families come together and start new, in non-violent and non-hateful lives. When Shakespeare wrote Romeo and Juliet his main argument was about quick love mistaken for lust. "For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night." Said by Romeo in Act 1, Scene 5, At this point romeo is crazy in love at Line 52. Here is Romeo Is hiding in a small bush looking at Juliet on and thinking to him self in lust, his lust is quickly, and illogically redirected from Rosaline to the beautiful Juliet. Soon the two would be bound in marriage. Because of their family betrayal each looses a close friend in death. Here is one place in Shakespeare’s book were the theme is most evident, quick love comes only at a coast, and this then continues to be seen throughout the full story. But Romeo’s lust doesn’t stop at that. later in the story it gets worse were He sates “That one short minute gives me in her sight/Do thou but close our hands with holy words/Then love-devouring death do what he dare/It is enough I may but call her mine.” at this point it is were Romeo is climbing into Juliet’s window. (II.vi.109-110). Soon the two are married and Romeo can hardly wait. He remarks that he is not worried about a thing after the two are married, even death. Here Shakespeare’s employs situational irony and foreshadowing to carry his theme. The play continues for a little less that three days, yet another example of how Shakespeare demonstrates his theme, by allowing the play to only continue for three days he gives his readers a feeling of quickness and shortness. This puts the reader, or audience member, in place where they can feel the inappropriateness of their rushed love. On the first day there is love and on the third day there is death. Death because their love came too quick, and their lust replaced everything including sensible action. “...let me have/A dram of poison, such soon-speeding gear/As will disperse itself through all the veins/That the life-weary taker may fall dead/And that the trnch may be discharged of breath/As violently as hasty powder fired/Doth hurry from the fatal cannon’s womb/.” Romeo buys his poison and brings on his own death because of the loss of his Juliet. Both of their deaths are bought upon them because of poor decisions made in the face of lust. Shakespeare’s quote now holds real meaning and helps the audience relate to the story. His warning now seems justified: watch for quick love mistaken by lust, it kills. It kills your family, your friends, and eventually and most devastatingly, it kills your lover, and most likely you. Their quick love and marriage is lost in their tragic death. The lives of Mercutio and Tybalt are lost as well. Their lust has dire, and lasting consequences.


 * Process:**Somethings that went well for me is that it was very easy when I got into the essay to write it, But not having the book was very hard to find qutes even though I had the qutes online, I just like books more. So if I was going to go back and do it again I would try to take a book with me, so it would go better in find the qutes.
