Romeo and Juliet: A Tragic Love Story
If Eiffel
Tower is associated with the symbol of love, then the most prominent love story
in the literary goes to Romeo and Juliet. Love is the most dominant and
important theme in Romeo and Juliet. However, Romeo and Juliet is not so called
a “happy ever after” love story but indeed a tragic one. In the beginning, the
love between Romeo and Juliet was portrayed explicitly beautiful and love can
strike anyone but the ending betrayed most of our expectation. It is just too
realistic and tragic. The ending is parallel with the other side of love facts.
Love can be the most sweetest thing ever and at the same time it can be the the
most cruelsome thing.
Love can be
described as pure, beautiful and at same time people also associate love with blindness
and madness. It is hard to explain love itself but I believe that love is
beautiful but the way we deal with love that makes it looks amoral. Although I
do not like the ending of Romeo and Juliet but I know that double suicide
tragedy is a consequence from the impulse decision earlier. If Capulet did not
decide to marry off Juliet with Paris, I guess Juliet would not make a haste
decision to drink the death faker potion. If Romeo think and act a little bit
calmer in the first place, this catastrophic event could be evaded. However,
what more I can say since people could act strangely and will be out of mind
when passionate in love.
When we
love someone we always think that our love story will end according to our plan
and goes smoothly. But we must remember that the reality does not offer a blast
of perfect day always. Sometimes love needs a sacrifice for a better future
ahead. In Romeo and Juliet, we could see that the death of Romeo and Juliet
ended the dispute between Capulet-Montague. In spite of we see that the
sacrifice Romeo and Juliet made was to preserve and defense their love but at
same time it lead up to a new day for Capulet and Montague family.
There is no
doubt that love is beautiful and at times love is brutal. Love in Romeo and
Juliet is portrayed too powerful to the eternity yet chaotic. People could love
or hate someone in any minutes but the way we deal with our emotions shows us
how sensible and crazy we can be. There is no wrong being in love but to the
some extent we must know to distinguish between the reality and fantasy. Indeed love is
complex and yet mysterious. I love the quotes from Ed Sheeran song, Thinking
Out Loud, “People fall in love in a mysterious way.” Since love is mysterious
and hard to be described, absolutely people can fall in love in mysterious way.
What I can say lastly, love is not to be understood but to be felt.
