10 years ago, I read Romeo and Juliet, when I just paid attention to story plot and did not feel charming of the work. Today when I re-read it, I still have a felling of tremor in my heart and am moved by the faithful love between Romeo and Juliet, especially their spirit of humanism that will never extinguish, as well as the artistic charm of both spoken and written language in the work. Romeo And Juliet is filled with what was absent or lack from other works , that is the humanism,which shows its height in thoughts. Humanism is a kind of outlook towards life, dream, values, and a kind of high realm of thought, which is at any time what people should endeavour to practice and pursue because it is eternal. Today, human have entered into the 21st century, the material civilization has reached a very high level, but the fast development of material civilization does not mean the homologous exaltation of spiritual civilization; On the contrary, egoism, utilitarianism, money worship and so on are widely corroding human`s spiritual life. The persistent pursuit of humanism of Romeo and Juliet showed their dignity and worth of human, that`s the exciting point of the play.What Are Produced? mother of bride dresses
Shakespeare wrote about ten comedies and one tragedy in his first period of creation. You Know What? I Bought a Popular evening dresses for My Mother at a Very Low Price His comedies mainly expressed humanist ideals, paid a tribute to love and friendship, and advocated individual liberation, freedom of marriage and personal fight for the right to happiness. Meanwhile, the comdies critize class concept, feudal moral principles and feudal oppress, and expose the capitalistic ugly. These comdies inculde A Midsummer Night's Dream, The Merchant of Venice, The Merry Wives of Windsor,Much Ado About Nothing and Virtues of Harmony. "Romeo and Juliet", which was created in 1595, is the only tragedy in this period, but in the ideological connotation, it is exactly the same with all the comedies in this period. Romeo and Juliet died for love, but their love is so pure and beautiful. Their love finally overcame the feudal oppression and prejudice, demonstrating the dynamic life and the final victory of the spirit of humanism. Humanism is the soul in the drama of Romeo and Juliet, which has aesthetic charming for so long is because of plump humanism contained.
Romeo and Juliet portrayed a thrilling love tragedy though moving drama conflict, many striking characters and elegant lyric character`s language. The two dramatis personae were born in two feudal enemy families; they fell in love with each other at their first sight in a meeting, but their combination is totally impossible. They seek help from the Father Lawrence; the Father shows his sympathy and understanding to them and secretly held their wedding. But federal parent Kaipulaite wants to marry her to a young aristocrat Paris, and forces to marry immediately. Juliet turned to Lawrence once again, Father donates sleeping pills to her for suspended animation in order to avoid this catastrophe. Meanwhile, Romeo received the punishment to be banished to Mantua because he killed Mrs Capulet's nephew Tybalt in a fight. He was deeply grieved knowing his wife's death so he returned to Verona the very night determined to die with his beloved Juliet.So he poisoned himself besides his wife. Afer coming to herself from coma,Juliet found her husband dead so she took poison and cut her throat to kill herself too. The tragedy of Romeo and Juliet made the two families see the huge cost of the feud so they made up by the management of the prince.
From the outline of this story we can be seen that the two feudal parents of Montague and Kaipulaite represent the declining feudal thought and tradition, they ignore the young people's freedom and love, lead to the hatred and conflict among families and lose their sons and daughters. While Romeo and Juliet represent a new kind of humanism. They make brave and resourceful struggles against feudal ideas and traditions, even though the outcome of the struggle is a tragedy, but in exchange of victory and promotion of the spirit of humanism. Of course, the humanism spirit is most intensively and powerfully expressed by two young protagnists---Romeo and Juliet. The love of Romeo and Juliet is really shocking and moving. This pure, noble and tragic love makes countless secular love become pale.
The spirit of humanism in Europe from 14th to 16th century was the life attitude and values of bourgeois that was on the upswing period. In today's perspective, it naturally has many limitations of the era. However, its "subject" is people and it demands to respect the human nature and value. This is not outdated. In the background of "humanism" lost greatly nowadays, romeo and Juliet, we need to derive the spiritual nutrition from Romeo and Juliet.
