Revision activity

identify how conflict used to convey key ideas

Conflict is throughout the play of romeo and juliet. Whether it’s between the families or characters the play has two types of conflicts. internal conflicts and external conflicts the external conflicts like the feud between the families has a massive effect on the story and shapes the play. These conflicts also tell us how the characters are feeling internal conflict or are effected externally by conflicts. The external conflicts shape and create the internal conflicts there for conveying the tragedy and love in the play. If there was no external conflict between the families the play wouldn’t be the same it would be a boring cliche love story.  In summary the external conflicts are connected to the internal conflicts in many ways shaping the story and adding layers to the play the conflicts convey ideas such as the stories love and hate relationships.

Quote explaining

Shakespeare’s language is where his true genius lies a quote from the prologue shows this and supports his genius.
“A pair of star-cross’d lovers take their life” 

This quote shows how much information and meaning can be compressed into a single line and Shakespeare’s depth in his writing. The quote is a metaphor that means to lovers brought together by fate like the stars have aligned and they take their lives.

neon metropolis future dystopia

Just another shitty day at work working for the community hall in Bronx it has to be the poorest part of New York littered with the homless. But it’s nice because I get to escape all the neon lights and hussle n bussle of the city center. I get to surround myself with more real people not brain dead money driven workers. But hear I am on the subway surrounded by them and neon lights flooding everyone eyes. It’s all a blur to me purples greens and pinks. A loud “Beep” is followed by a “schh” as the subway doors inch open. A strange group of men walk on wearing leather gang jackets with lights on their collars complimented by their masks. They were already causing trouble amongst the passengers. The last thing I want to do is be harassed by these idiots on the subway; with their stupid masks and neon lit jackets one of them had a full face mask of a goat, strange. What kinda idiot gang members wear masks well that’s what i felt like saying anyway but I know I would be foreshadowing my own beating after a shit day to some pathetic goons. Ever since they had to cut down on the actual presence of cops because they went overboard on advertising there were not a single cop on the subway.  My eyes were just flooded by neon lit advertising and propaganda. The gang members were walking towards me i’m not scared but I know it wouldn’t be fun. I identified what gang members they were when one of them pulled up his sleeves to look tough but also revel a dimly lit purple jackal, explains why they were on the subway they were just a wannabe gang not about power, just entertaining themselves by picking on people with no chance of fighting back. I hadn’t seen the gang on the news in months they must have gone under the radar at least they were a low tier gang anyway. One of them was giant but they all looked sluggish and un-athletic they proceeded to walk toward my direction but past me, few I didn’t wanted have to deal with them today. They proceeded over to a much smaller guy wearing glasses leaning on the wall. The guy looked wealthy for someone who was riding the subway an easy target he was dressed in nice jeans and a clean white shirt but he had expensive glasses and a watch I could only dream of. The guy  looked up at the gang members who had already surrounded him. He said “no fun today boys,” when he showed his wrist was lit neon green. He was government protected probably trained well in combat or something. The gang members smirked and chuckled “and what? are you special or something”,one of them pulled out a gun the small guy said that’s not real it’s impossible to get a gun on the subway. The big guy laughed and said want to find out. I stood up it was a real gun I have seen my friend smithing those illegal popcap guns undetectable and compact perfect for public destruction. I said “you don’t want to find out” and nodded at the gun. The gang members immediately walked over to me but my stop was about 30 seconds away I had to get off, a sense of stress shoots my body causing me to sit back down. The small man who I still hadn’t identified stood up straight “bamb” he roundhouse kicked the big guy straight to the floor he was out cold. The other members scowled as one of them attempted to pick up the gun. He was immediately kicked to the ground  followed by a punch in the nose. The one with a pink goat mask the only one who looked athletic pulled out a gold gun “boom” he shot the small man in between the eyes blood trickled down his face and some landed on my jeans. The trains doors beeped it was my stop I ran as did everyone else escaping the chaos that unfolded in such a short amount of time. I ran out into the the neon flooded city and watched as police forces with complete overkill gear ran onto the subway. To apprehend the man in the mask.  More screams are heard from higher up the street as a van comes zooming down the footpath opposite of me, everyone jumps out of the way I continue to watch the series of events unfold more gang members hop out of the van with ars and small smgs and start taking some people off the street hostage the van continues to drive towards the subway station where only gunshots can be heard the van swerves to a stop with more gang members hoping out and unloading all their rounds on the officers they go down quick and there was not an officer standing just a pile of blue men in a pool of blood. The man with the mask bolts for the van carrying a large black duffle bag and a police helicopter is now over the area no doubt this won’t be on the jolly fake news. I run instead of spectating more blood being shed the robotic e medics are already helping people hit from the van. The apartment block is 5 blocks away but the guy in the mask points at me I take a quick shortcut I learnt from the days i used to sneak out at night,I sprint threw the mystic gardens I pass purple wisteria trees and giant willows hurdling over various exotic shrubs and bushes I exit the gardens by its main stone arch way and continue to dash down the street seeing all the neon lit restaurants and their personal bots welcoming me as i dash passed. Stupid robots .I stop dead in my tracks as i see another pink mask on the edge of the curb trickled with blood, none of it makes sense an ambulance of e-medics drives past with their sirens on. I just continue down the street I glance back they didnt follow me well that was easy I said, I continue passing various stores and billboards I’m nearly there. A sense of relief passes threw my body as I reach the worn apartment block ahh I made it I start to enter my pin to the apartment then thud a blunt object smashes the back of my skull  I fall dazed towards the dirty pavement another thud darkness consumes me and I hear a van door slam. It smells musty and i hear some mumbles around me, consciousness leaves me.

dystopian prepositions

Beyond it’s guarded drawbridge lies a dark towering factory surrounded by murky water. It is heavily fortified around the edges and hence why it may be on an isolated lake. The clouds and pollution drowned the life out of the sky,creating a gloomy atmosphere. The guards walked around with their eyes fixed on the horizon examining all life in the distance. The guard dogs doing the same following the guards around but listening for everything. All that could be heard was a small highway and some people under its underpass tagging and grafetteing its cold stone walls. Much like the factories walls that they were dull and cold like the majority of the city but the factory drew all your attention towards it due to its great size. The factory looked like it was making and protecting something of great value. As the world was in a corrupt state anyone would do anything to make a quick buck. This was something more industrial something probably government maintained putting money in the pockets of the rich and leaving the poor in a inevitable struggle that was impossible get out of. The working class were also miserable only surviving on minimum wage due to the cities poor infrastructure and revenue. They had to make their money off weapons and other high value goods because no one ever wanted to visit the city because they would not be able to leave tourism was scarce because of its highest crime rate and drug use in the world. The city was only standing on one leg a very rich but weak leg that would give out and crumble at any time spinning everything into chaos.

 

How shakespeare uses fate in Romeo and Juliet

Fate in Romeo and Juliet is used throughout the play and is a key part of the plot.The definition of fate is a predetermined course of events that are inevitable. It also suits the time frame of the play, as in Elizabethan times people were very religious and Christian; they used fate as a means of looking over coincidences also fortunate and unfortunate events in their life.These would be considered acts of fate from God or a higher being. This relates to the story in Romeo and Juliet very well as if everything was planned out and fate decided Romeo and Juliet’s beginning and end; as if their love was doomed from the beginning and out of their control. Shakespeare has lots of little and big references of fate in the story, they give you a better understanding of the plot as the story unfolds.

Fate in Romeo and Juliet is shown through many of the events and references, one of these is the plot. The plot is where fate would be most apparent. When coincidences and events are shaped by fate and carve the story from end to beginning. An example of this is when Gregory and Sampson are having banter on the street then coincidentally two Capulets happen to walk up to them on the same street. This is how the story opens and is how it shows you the first sign of fate. It is not a big part of fate in the story rather a little one but shows all the little coincidences like this that shape the story. Coincidences like theses would be considered fate in Elizabethan times rather than coincidences. Another example of a bigger role of fate is when Juliet drinks her poison to make her appear dead but Romeo doesn’t get the plan from Friar John and Romeo actually thinks she is dead so he kills himself next to her only moments before Juliet then wakes up. if Romeo had got to her seconds later she would have woken up and it would be a happy ending.It is almost as if they were bound by fate and in any alternation of events they were bound to both die.This also brings up the question in the plot was Romeo and Juliet’s love all to end their families strife and feud.This shows how Romeo and Juliet’s love was doomed from the beginning. The ending also seals off all loose ends, the holes in the story are fixed by fate which brings the whole story and plot together in a stronger more stable form.

From the beginning, signs are given that the story is not going to end well. This is very apparent in the prologue and danger signs are shown as snippets throughout the story. An ironic example is when.

“JULIET (gesturing towards Romeo)
What’s he that follows here, that would not dance?
NURSE
I know not.
JULIET
Go ask his name. The Nurse goes. If he be married.
My grave is like to be my wedding bed.”                                                                                                                 Juliet does foreshadow her own death because her grave does become her wedding bed. Their actions have little impact on the outcome of their lives however fate has brought about some actions that create a chain of effects with an inevitable outcome. Certain characters could be accountable for their death but it only adds to their unavoidable fate.

Another aspect of fate in the play is shown through the iambic pentameter which is a very small part of fate in the play but is still important as you may miss it. The defination of the iambic pentameter In a line of poetry, is an “iamb is a foot or beat consisting of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable, or a short syllable followed by a long syllable”. A good example of this is the prologue a quote from the prologue would be

Two households, both alike in dignity
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.

As the pentameter is not changing through out the story it is going one direction as if a train on tracks bound to crash. Like Romeo and Juliet’s love the pentameter is going a certain way no matter how they get there, it is going to end badly shaped by there actions and fate itself. Shakespeare also stumbles on action equals reaction. This is not fate so I would say when Tybalt kills Mercutio then Romeo kills Tybalt, it goes from action to reaction but there are other factors that make Tybalt kill Mercutio also which could be tied to fate so there is a fairly blurry line distinguishing the two. The other factors that could be tied into fate and coincidence is characters misunderstanding each other and also miscommunicating which becomes a vital part of the plot towards the end.

In conclusion, Shakespeare uses fate throughout the play in a lot of ways. From small references to pieces of the plot and story; also behind the scenes like iambic pentameter.It was a very thoughtful process I could imagine writing the play. I feel like I am not bound by fate and my life is not predetermined or inevitable. I believe in making my own destiny through my actions and choices. Unfortunately, I can not say the same about Romeo and Juliet in this tragedy. I think their love was purposed to benefit their two families to break their grudge as it is shown in the prologue and other parts of the play. Again, I think Romeo and Juliet had very little influence over their outcome. I see fate in Shakespeare’s play like a puppet master and Romeo and Juliet are his puppets to do his bidding.
