In Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet we are constantly bombarded by different meanings of completely irrational words, contrasts and characters. They wish things about themselves, and when they happen, they are amazed. This piece of literature is full of situations where the character intends one thing to happen, but its results are completely different. In the following paragraphs it is up to the reader to decide whether the examples shown show opposite results to the original plan. At the beginning of the play we are introduced to two characters, Sampson and Gregory. Itching for battle, they believe they have as much responsibility to defend the Capulet name as their masters. "The dispute is between our masters and us, their men." They meet some Montagues and decide to provoke them. They plan to have some fun and maybe get a chance to play with their swords. Almost like a child anticipating the fun he will have with his new Christmas toys. Instead, they provoke the Capulets enough to turn the squabble into a major battlefield, the power of the axis against the allies. We can see that they are surprised when Benvolio arrives to separate them. When he does so, the reader is given the feeling of "bewilderment" felt in the atmosphere. However, when Tybalt enters, he disgraces the Montague name and challenges Benvolio. This in turn ignites another of the many disputes between the families. The two main men should have understood what was going to happen. After all, they are feuding families, what else would you do? In the end, the final verdict on their public nuisance plays an important role in the show to come. The prince has condemned to death anyone who dares to disturb... middle of the paper... in these three hours the beautiful Juliet will wake up; It will tell me much that Romeo did not notice these incidents; But I will write to Mantua again, and keep her in my cell until Romeo comes..." The final episode is probably the most tragic of all. Here we witness Romeo, whose intentions are to be with his true love forever, I am devastated when Juliet wakes up. Romeo is surprised at what he has done because Juliet wakes up as he dies. Seeing him dead makes Juliet stab herself with his dagger, straight to the heart. It's a bittersweet ending for a such a famous and timeless love story. The fact that they both died for each other is romantic. The fact that they could have been together makes it all seem like a greater tragedy. Works Cited: Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet Eds, 1981
