...I believe that Romeo and Juliet are responsible for their own deaths because they were the ones who chose to commit suicide. They had a choice to commit suicide or not. Romeo and Juliet were responsible for their own deaths as evidence by Romeo’s and Juliet’s choices to act upon their love for each other too quickly, their decision to hide their marriage from their families and take their own lives were on them and only them. If they would have thought to tell their parents about them and showed how happy they were together, Juliet wouldn’t have to fake her own death and Romeo wouldn’t have to get poison to kill himself right by Juliet. When Juliet woke up the friar tried to get her out of the tum but she saw Romeo and wanted to die to,...

...the light. Romeo says: But, soft! What light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun Romeo said this to Juliet. He is saying that her beauty is like the sun. Shining beauty, pure, shiny. Romeo says: Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon, Who is already sick and pale with grief, That thou her maid art far more fair than she Romeo said this to Juliet at the balcony. He is saying that he does not want the sun to arise because that means he will have to go home and there are chances that he will see Juliet again.

...Without Doodle It’s Depressing “It was the clove of seasons,summer was dead but autumn was yet to be born, that the ibis lit in the bleeding tree. The flower garden was stained with rotting brown magnolia petals, and ironweeds grew rank amid the purple phlox” (Hurst 416). As summer dies the pretty plants begin to die as well, and it leaves a beautiful sadness in the air. James Hurst uses words like ‘rank’ ‘dead’, ‘bleeding’, ‘stained’, and ‘rotting’, words like these wouldn’t set a happy tone for the start of any story. The narrator in “The Scarlet Ibis” only wanted his brother, Doodle, to fit in. Unfortunately, he would always stick out because he couldn’t get too tired, too hot, and too cold. Doodle died from over exhaustion, same...

...me, in what part of this anatomy doth my name ledge? Tell me, that I may sack the hateful mansion” (3.3 Romeo) This foreshadows that Romeo is going to die by a vile of a person. “and with this knife, ill help it presently god joined me heart and Romeo’s, they our hands” (4.1 Juliet) Juliet just foreshadowed what she uses to end her life with. Not only is death by objects, but also thoughts about death. Thoughts of death is another theme of death. When Juliet said “go ask his name; it he be married my glove is like to be my wedding bed” (1.5 Juliet) she is basically foreshadowing that her wedding bed will be the floor of her grave. In the balcony scene, when Juliet expresses her fear for Romeo's safety, Romeo replies that it's ok if her kinsmen find him, because his "life were better ended by their hate, / Than death prorogued, wanting of thy love" (2.2.77-78). In other words, he'd much rather have hr love and die on the spot, than not have her love and die later. As it turns out, he does get her love, and dies for it, too. “the earth that’s natures mother is her tomb what is her burring grave: that is her womb”(2.3 friar Laurence). Friar Laurence foreshadow, is where Romeo and Juliet will die. Death has more themes, includes death with peoples. Death with people is a weird theme, “I dreamt my lady came and found me dead, and breathed such life with kisses in my lips that I reviewed and was emperor. (5.1...

...Death flies in with the Bird It is believed that superstitions began with Neanderthal man, because they were the first people to bury their dead. It is said that they believed in an afterlife because they buried the dead with food, weapons and other items to be use in the afterlife. Superstitions surrounding death have always lurked in my mind as far back as childhood. My Grandmother was the family member that filled my mind with the fears that still haunt me to this day. She would tell me things like if a bird fly into your house it had to fly out the same way that came in; if not then someone within the family would die. We had this happen once when I was about 9 years old. We didn’t have air conditioners back then and we would leave the windows and doors open with a big box fan in the windows and on the floors in front of the open doors to cool the house. We were having a birthday party for my baby brother, Tony, when a bird flew in through the front door. My grandmother screamed out for everyone to close all the windows and door except the front door; leaving the bird with only one way out. The bird flew towards me, and I ran to the back door thinking that the bird was after me. When I went out the back door, the bird did too. My grandmother was very upset and she told me the reason why it was not good that bird flew out the back door. I didn’t really believe her, but within two week my mother received a phone call informing her of the death of my uncle. Right away my...
