The Start of a Tragedy
I do not read tragedy very often; I used to read an article said that If you add up your happiness of your life, it may equal to the sadness you have in your life. Therefore, I try as hard as I can to avoid getting sorrowful feelings, such as keep away from a book which will make me cry. However, People around me always talk about how good the story is: “It is the best romantic story Leo!” “ You called yourself as a poet, so why don’t you look at the book Romeo and Juliet? It will give you sundry of inspirations!” The more they mention about how great the book is, the more I want to read the book; their words transform to a little cat hiding in my heart, scratching and scratching. Finally, one day, the curious of the book triumph over the pain of the reading a tragedy. Sitting besides my shabby table, I open the first page of the book.
As I read, I find out several interesting details about the book: It is truly poetic, the language is really hard for me to understand. Fortunately, I start to find out the pleasure of reading the book. The first scene begin with a comedy, which the servant of Montague had a fight with the servant of Capulet. Their master arrive after, Benvolio who comes from Montague tries to stop the fight, but he failed because of the aggressive Capulet’s master Tybalt. Then all the people on the street get into the fight. It is such a chaos on the street, Luckily, the prince come who is powerful enough to stop the fight between these two family shortly. In scene 2, Benvolio try to console his cousin Romeo who fall in love with a women called Rosime who vow that she will never married. At the time two brothers are talking about love and women, a servant come and ask their help to read the names on the invitation to the Capulet party. Romeo and Benvolio decide to go to the party to see how beautiful the woman Romeo loved is. In Scene 3, It is the conversation between Lady Capulet, nurse of Juliet and Juliet. They talk about how smart and cute Juliet is when she was a child, and they talk about finding a marriage for Julie, because she is nearly 14t. They give Juliet some suggestions. However, Juliet decide to pick by herself.
At last before I stop writing, I want to analysis about two of the main characters: Romeo and Juliet. First, about Romeo, I think he is a very poetic people; he speak the words about sun, night, fire, flower... And all these subject he used serve for one main purpose which is Love. For example, “Love is a smoke made with the fume of sights; Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers’ tears”(Romeo and Juliet P1070). I think poet are always emotional, that can explain why Romeo immerse so deep and easy to the love with a woman who he has just meet for a few times. He is naive and fall in love at first sight. Juliet, so far I know about her is that she is a strong-minded person who also believe fall in love at first sight. For example, “I’ll look to like, if looking liking move. But no more deep will I endart mine eye Than your consent gives strength to make it fly”(Romeo and Juliet P1499). She really want to get marry and she is also brave enough to make her decision against her mother’s suggestion. I am really looking forward to what interesting story may occur when these two young man meet each other! Let’s wait and see!
