Something So Simple is So Complicated!


~ Something so simple is so complicated it almost seems in this book. It is almost like this picture I posted. There is many twists and turns, smears and bends, but yet through it all it creates a masterpiece. That is what Romeo and Juliet's story is to me. . . a masterpiece. It is a tale with many "layers" in it, making it the novel it is known and loved for. Complicated. . . Interesting.
~Well, I better take not of "the topics" since everyone else is posting about it, so hear it goes. When Tybalt stabbed Mercutio, I didn't think that the murder was intentional at all. (the heat of the day went to all of their heads in my personal opinion!) Anyway, Tybalt was out to fight yes, and Mercutio was persisting him to draw, so that didn't help the situation either. With Romeo trying to stop the brawl before it got out of hand, Mercutio was paying more attention to his friend, trying to maneuver around him. As where Tybalt's anger and rage was aimed at Mercutio, so there we have the stab and the life taken. It was a fight with many emotions rising the ceiling, and many complex backgrounds grinding together with great and mighty force. With the death of Mercutio, we all knew that Tybalt was next, only adding to the complexity of our picture of the story-line even further. Mercutio dead, Tybalt as well, and now the young Romeo banished. WHAT ELSE COULD GO WRONG! I know. . .I know. . there is always another smack in the face waiting for us in the upcoming acts. As for now, our picture of Romeo and Juliet is constantly adding twists and turns, dives and rises, only making it more exciting to read/look at.
