I welcome you all to this sad place, and hope that what I have to relate will be of value to us all. Days ago he was dancing. Days ago we laughed and were merry. Days ago the two of us were speaking of love, and the great joy that it gave to Romeo; if I did not see him, pale before me, I would hardly believe that this is the same man.

Individual Responsibility/Romeo & Hamlet
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page essay that examines Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" and "Hamlet." The writer argues that, at first glance, the male protagonists appear to be propelled along by the action of each play. However, a closer examination of each of these works shows that, in each case, Shakespeare makes it clear that both Romeo and Hamlet must bear some responsibility for the tragic circumstances of their own demise. Romeo and Hamlet make choices that contribute to the tragic endings of these plays. Furthermore, there is the implication in each play that tragedy might have been avoided by the use of reason, rather than an over-reliance on emotion. No additional sources cited.
