To begin with, Shakespeare's elaborate use of figurative language is one of the main reasons why his writings are still taught centuries after his death. He used a lot of this language to give a sense of emotion and depth to what his characters are saying. In some cases, Shakespeare will use figurative language to foreshadow future events in the play. For example, Friar Lawrence tells Romeo about the secret marriage he was asked to make when he says: “These violent delights have violent ends. And in their triumph die, like fire and powder. " In this case, Friar is essentially reminding the audience that forbidden lovers will die no matter how hard they try. Shakespeare also uses figurative language to indicate a fairly clear time period in which the actions take place. When Benvolio tells the Montagues about the last time he saw Romeo, he says: “An hour before the beloved sun looked through the golden eastern window. Shakespeare could easily have used simplistic language to explain the time of day the actions took place, but he personified the sun in a very pure and beautiful way. Next, Shakespeare uses a variety of poetic writing styles in his work. Throughout the majority of the play, most of the characters speak in blank verse, or simply in iambic pentameter without any rhyme. An exception would be minor characters such as servants and commoners, who do not speak in iambic pentameter but rather in pros. Shakespeare probably made them speak this way to show the nobility and intelligence of the other main characters. In one particular scene, Lady Capulet talks to Juliet about how she is expected to get married in Paris soon and says, "This precipice...... middle of paper...... and problems with their plans to escape to death, and if one part of Shakespeare's work was removed, the entire chain of events would be completely different Shakespeare made every character an antagonist in this play, because every main character had done something that caused. the deaths of Romeo and Juliet mean that everyone could also be a protagonist, given that the deaths of these two lovers "buried their parents' conflict", ending the hated feud between the Capulets and the Montagues. Shakespeare's work inspires even the world's most intelligent literature professors to evaluate his complex work, and some questions still remain unanswered. The only clues we have to understand these literary mysteries are hidden in Shakespeare's writings. and even then, some of these questions are up to the writer himself, William Shakespeare..
