Romeo & Juliet - Shakespeare

Romeo and Juliet. Two destined lovers. Two poorly taken lives. Two deeply in love souls, with two families at war against one another. So why were they destined to die? Fate took their lives and gave their families peace. Is that showing that if two families are at war, their children must die just to bring peace?

Shakespeare was a brilliant writer and people have many diferent views off his works. Some say he's too deep. Some say he's boring. My thought is that he is one of the best poets of all time. He spoke so fondly of love and what its feeling is. Romeo and Juliet for example was a story of true love which brang the children to their deaths. It's a beautiful story that goes deep into some peoples hearts especially mine, which could be the reason why i am so fond of the romantic tale. He spoke so deeply of love and how people show affection. He showed meanings of feelings and actions. For example, when Juliet is unsure to kiss Romeo:

Romeo (to Juliet) - If i profane with my unworthiest hand

This holy shrine, the gentle fine is this;

My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand

To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss

Juliet - Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much

Which mannerly devotion shows in this;

For saints have hands that pilgrims hands do touch,

And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss

Romeo - Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too?

Juliet - Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer

Romeo - O, then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do;

They pray, grant thou, lest faith turn to despair

Juliet - Saints do not move, though grant for prayers' sake

Romeo - Then move not, while my prayer's effect i take,

Thus from my lips, by yours, my sin is purged

Juliet - Then have my lips the sin that they have took

Romeo - Sin from thy lips? O trespass sweetly urged!

Give me my sin again

Romeo shows Juliet that hands are together in prayer and that lips could do the same by coming together. I think this is a sweet way of showing affection. Too bad we arnt all in Shakespearian times.
