Literary Analysis "Romeo and Juliet"

Vinnie Cruz

1) Romeo and Juliet is a story about two lovers who are not socially accepted they run away from their town in pursuit of happiness and love, and end up dyeing for each other.

2) The theme of the novel is nothing can break love, not even in death.

3) The tone of this novel was definitely disappointment. There were several examples shown in this novel, 1 would be when Romeo and Juliet were told they can no longer see each other. Another example would be when Juliet was told that Romeo had been sent away from the home town so she would no longer be able to see Romeo. Another example would be when Juliet found Romeo and thought he was dead so committed suicide, and then Romeo awoke from his sleep and saw that Juliet had committed suicide so Romeo committed suicide to be with Juliet.

4) The author uses tone to describe how the characters are feeling in certain situations. The author uses indirect characterization to show how complex his writing is and how much he wants the reader to analyze his work.

1) In Shakespeare's work he doesn't use much direction characterization, but throughout his novel or play he uses all kinds of indirect characterization from his explanations 2 characters such as Romeo's looks, Juliet’s looks from their lives, all the way to how they feel about each other.

2) The author’s syntax and diction stay the same when describing or talking about a character because most of his writing has to do with dialogue and direct characterization.

3) The main character is definitely static and flat. Throughout the novel he continues to love Juliet and drive to see you’re just as much as he does at the end of the story.

4) Considering I didn't much like the book I can't say I felt like I really got 2 know I the character but by the end of story I was definitely aware I was reading a book and didn’t feel much of a  connection to the main character at all.
