Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet

In time we hate that which we often fear William Shakespe are. Shakespeare dumb what most do non the true nature of hatred. Since most pack do not realise that their hatred simply masks their fears, they never gift the real problem. Consequently, hate continues to ruin countries, cities and families. This notion of hatred is never more evident than in Shakespeares tragic play, Romeo and Juliet. In this play, the characters hatred masks their fear of world plyless and drives them to dig up their superiority, but this only causes their destruction.First, characters identify with imaginary labels such as supply and courage to mask their self-doubt and to emotional state belonging. For instance, Tybalt tries to prove his superiority over the Montagues by projecting himself as powerful and complaisantly dominant. When he sees Romeo intruding on the Capu permit feast, he insults him as a buckle down (1.5.54) that he should by the stock and honour of his kin / To strike him a bsolutely he holds it not a sin (1.5.56-58). Tybalt belittles the Montagues as worthless slaves that he should vindicate and kill without guilt.Therefore, he leave rid Verona of their filthiness and prove his social power. Likewise, Sampson pretends to be a courageous warrior to improve his reputation and social standing. To Gregory, Sampson faecal matter easily portray himself as a tyrant (1.1.19) that after having fought with the men, will be civil with the maids / and cut off their heads (1.1.20-21). In short, they use their illusions of power and courage to deceive others and themselves into welcoming and accepting them.However, when humiliated, their illusions are destroyed and their insecurities are threatened to be revealed which leaves them defenceless to exclusion. In fact, when Tybalt is stripped of his power and force into composure, he runs away ashamed to pass over his inferiority.After arguing with Capulet, Tybalt is squeeze to leave his own banquet which with his patience perforce with wilful passion meeting (1.5.88) makes his flesh tremble (1.5.89). Tybalt trembles with rage and shame referable to his forced submission to Capulet which proves he has no true social power as he must obey orders not command them. Similarly, Sampson rapidly shies away from a fight when confronted by the Montague servants to hide his cowardice. Sampson urges Gregory to fight as he will supposedly back thee (1.1.35) and to take the law on their sides, let them begin (1.1.35) although he proclaimed himself a merciless tyrant.When he is confronted with a fight, Sampson backs away and encourages Gregory to take the lead which proves he is just a self-conceited coward. In other words, when the inferiority and cowardice of characters are exposed, they scramble to hide their true identities.As expected, to regain their lost status, characters resort to hostility to distract others from their vulnerability. For example, Mercutio, whole step offended and disgra ced, quickly belittles Tybalt to regain control of the situation and his social power. raise by Romeos calm, dishonourable, vile submission (3.1.70), Mercutio disgraces Tybalt as a rat-catcher (3.1.72) and challenges him to a fight so Alla stoccata carries it away (3.1.71). Mercutio challenges Tybalt to a fight so that lot will fear him, remember him as a strong, brave scrapper and remember Tybalt as a rat-catcher. In the same manner, Romeo immediately challenges Tybalt to a duel to avenge Mercutio and justify that he caused his oddment. Romeo decides that someone needs to extend Mercutio company / Either thou or Romeo, or both, must go with him (3.1.124-125).Romeo, infuriated, allows his emotions to take control and seeks revenge to justify and compensate for his cowardly submission which caused Mercutios death. In other words, characters that lose their illusions of power and courage struggle to feel accepted due to their fear of rejection, so they violently and desperately asseverate themselves.Undoubtedly, they do not achieve their goal of self-redemption and only continue the calendar method of hatred which creates a never-ending path of destruction.In fact, Mercutios violent sample to gain social power blinds his reason and brings about his social and somatogenetic downfall. After being struck, Mercutio exclaims I am hurt (3.1.86) while his opponent-Tybalt- has at rest(p) and hath nothing (3.1.88). Mercutios attempt to prove himself powerful ends with his death not Tybalts.This proves that aggression is not the solution and only ensures self destruction. In contrast, Romeos mother-Lady Montague- pays the consequence of death for Romeos rash decisions. Before discovering his dead son, Montague declares my wife is dead tonight / affliction of my sons exile hath stoppd her breath (5.3.210-211).Romeos impulsive actions, which lead to his exile, causes his mothers death which proves that when characters resort to violence, they not only unintention ally destroy themselves but take down others too. In other words, when characters project their self-hate unto others through aggression, they cause their own destruction and substantiative damage.
