Response to "Romeo and Juliet"

The non-traslation of "Romeo and Juliet" is difficlut to understand, as there are many old-fashioned words. However, in William Shakespeare's writing, he makes these words sound much more beautiful than they look. Also, this play gives a very romantic image for the audiences. In the play, Romeo uses lots of figurative laguage to describe Juliet, such as "and Juliet is the sun. Arise , fair sun, and kill the envious moon, who is already sick and pale with grief." (line 3-5, Act 2, Scene 2 ). We can see that in Romeo' mind, Juliet likes a goddness, pure, noble and beautiful certainly. In addition, Romeo shows his true heart to his lady or we can say that he is very pure. On the other hand, Juliet is afriad to say she loves Romeo because she worries if Romeo thinks she is too easy. She is very intelligent because in the play she says that Montague is a only a name which is not about Romeo; she loves him as he is a man who she loves. It is not about other things, it is about love. Indeed, they both are very brave, since they don't care if their families are enemy. As a result, they overcome the dangerious situation which thay have, and they present their love to all the public in the that time. Unfortunately, they end up with a tragedy. Personally, I think that is the best way for them because people who like them cannot exsit in their society. Also, their death prevents their family fight. Their families feel guilty for these couples, so they stop fight. Obviously, this sets off how great their love is. Actually, nowaddays people have lots of different obstructions between them and their lovers. However, when they face the obstruction, most people choose to give up, and they are not like Romeo and Juliet that try to overcome. People are changing, and they are losing the old spirit of love.
