The birth of tragedy, perhaps to let us know that behind the prosperity and splendor, there is often a dark and empty background. From the tragic characters, language, plot, and ending, a kind of mourning about people's fate, morality, and values is playing, whether it is a high-ranking official or a no-name pawn, after experiencing the sorrow of the world, it is finally trembling and majestically towards the end of life.

In this one-way journey of life that cannot be turned back, no one knows who they will meet tomorrow, and no one knows how deep their fate with the person they are about to meet is, and even how far they can go on the same road together. Therefore, people always grow and mature in the process of constantly meeting, staggering, holding hands, and letting go. When you look back one day, maybe there is no one behind you.

Fortunately, in a limited life, there will always be some kind, upright, passionate people come to you, light up those dark moments in your life, bring you sincere encouragement and warm companionship, and make you feel that there is light in human survival and hope in life.

Entering Romeo's mind, Juliet is undoubtedly what he dreams and loves. The 17-year-old Romeo is dignified and loved, but he falls in love with a girl who doesn't like him, Rosalan. When he heard that Rosalan would go to the Kaplet family's banquet, Romeo decided to sneak into the banquet hall and finally fell in love with Juliet. In the face of BanVrio's ridicule, Romeo confided his heart:

"Alas! This is the mistake of love, I myself have too many sorrows weighed on my heart, and the sympathy you expressed to me has in vain made me add a heavy sorrow to too many sorrows. Love is a puff of smoke blown by a sigh; a lover's eyes have its purified Spark; a lover's tears are the waves it stirs up. It is also the most intelligent madness, the bitter taste of choking throats, the honey that cannot be eaten by the mouth. ”

When Juliet met Romeo at the banquet and learned that Romeo was a member of the Montageu family and the only son of the enemy family, she issued this sigh:

"The fire of love is lit in the ashes of hatred,

If you shouldn't know each other, why meet!

Yesterday's enemy, today's lover,

I am afraid that this love will sow the bane. ”

It can be seen that Juliet also fell in love with Romeo at first sight, although she knew that falling in love with each other might cause chaos, Juliet still chose to hold hands with Romeo, and later the two were privately decided for life and secretly married. Shakespeare used this to show the supremacy of love and the fact that feelings often triumph over reason.

Looking back on the whole play, the author still feels that the scene where Romeo jumps off the wall and talks to Juliet is the most beautiful time spent between the two of them. Compared with the later tragic scenes such as Romeo being exiled, Juliet taking medicine to suspend his death, Romeo taking poison to commit suicide, Juliet drawing a sword and committing suicide, the garden dialogue is undoubtedly the moment when the two people are in love and love grows at their best.

There is no shackles of family blood feuds, no oppression of the king's power, and no restrictions on class concepts, only mutual recognition, respect, infatuation and pampering. In Romeo and Juliet's "Diary of Love", this page is the sweetest, most romantic, and most dreamy, making people firmly believe in the simplicity, sincerity, warmth and steadfastness of love.

The author has selected a group of more representative dialogues for everyone to feel the love and passion that ripples in the hearts of Romeo and Juliet, who are in love.

Romeo

Ah, Juliet! If you feel as much happiness as I do, if your lips and tongue can proclaim your heartfelt happiness, then let the air be filled with the fragrance that comes out of your mouth, and pour out the infinite joy that the two of us have given each other in this meeting with great joy.

Juliet

The fullness of thought does not lie in the richness of words; only the beggar can count his furniture. Sincere love filled my heart, and I could not estimate the wealth I enjoyed.

True love is definitely not a solo dance of one person, but a joint dance of two people. When two people have true love in their hearts, there will always be a tacit understanding from the heart, a sense of calm and relaxed satisfaction. Being able to have a confidant is definitely a very valuable asset in life, which makes the owner proud more than any money, honor, status, jewelry.
