Death and End

     Macbeth is the shortest and one of the most important tragedy of Shakespeare. It tells us a man who is power-hungry and who goes back on his best friend. It's main idea is that a person shouldn't believe everthing and shouldn't go back on his/her best friend for anything.
     Macbeth believes in three witches and he thinks that prophecies will come true. He tells everything which three witches says to his wife. His wife gets inside his head and he kills Duncan and Banque,Macbeth's best friend. End of this play,Malcolm,Duncan's son, comes the king of Scotland. Prophecy of witches about Banque makes us think because witches says to Banque that you will be father of king.
     To sum up,I think the important point is that everybody should use his own mind. If Macbeth used his own mind,there would be no death and their relationship wouldn't be end.

Two Feuding Families' Elegy

"Love is to risk death."

There is an enmity between Capulet and Montague families. Because of this enmity,Prince Escalus of Verona says that : "If there is a problem between them,fighters will be punished by death." Later, Count Paris comes out of the blue to talk Capulet about his desire to marry his daughter Juliet. Although Capulet says Paris to wait two years,he tries to persuade Juliet to accept Paris's proposal. Capulets throw a ballroom party. Benvolio,Romeo's cousin, knows Romeo's severe depression and this depression's reason is a girl named Rosaline who is a member of Capulet family. Benvolio thinks that if Romeo goes their ballroom party,he can see her and declare his love. So,he goes Capulet's house secretly hoping to see Rosaline. But he sees Juliet who is Capulet's daughter. And he falls in love with Juliet. Romeo wants to tell his love to Juliet. Romeo slithers away the Capulet grove and overhears Juliet at her window vowing her love to him in spite of her family's hatred of the Montagues. The next day,they are secretly married with helps of Friar Laurence who wants to reunite Capulet and Montague families.

Mercutio is fatally wounded when Romeo interrupts their fight. At that exact moment, Romeo kills Tybalt. This circumstance reaches Prince of Verona's ears and Romeo is banished from Verona. Because of these events,Capulet want to Julitet marry to Paris but Juliet doesn't want to marry him. She wants to delay this marriage but her family rejects. So she goes to Friar Laurence for his help. Friar Laurence prepares a drug that will put her into a deathlike coma for forty two hours and he says Juliet to send a messenger to inform Romeo of the plan. Before wedding night,she takes this drug and her family discoveres her death. The messenger doesn't reach Romeo,but he hears the death of his love from Balthasar.

"For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Juliet and her Romeo."

"There is a chance more. Is it death?"

William Shakespeare (1564-1616)

He was one of the most important English playwright and poets. He was best known for his masterpieces for instance Romeo and Juliet,Hamlet,Macbeth,Othello as tragedies;As You Like It,Twelft Night,Midsummer Night's Dream as comedies. His plays were played much more time,even today being played. Shakespeare was a respected poet and playwright in his own day, but his reputation did not rise to its present heights until the 19th century like other poets or contemporaries. His quotations are very attractive to me,because I am very interested in literature. "To be or not to be." is very important for my life. Whenever I hear this quote or whenever I read it,I think and say myself  "There is a chance more. Do you think it is death?"
