“A successful marriage requires falling in love several times, always with the same person.” Mignon McLaughlinWilliam Shakespeare: “Juliet's Soliloquy”: Romeo and Juliet“Juliet's Soliloquy” was written by William Shakespeare around 1595. William Shakespeare, the great bard of Stratford, was an English poet and playwright. Shakespeare's legendary works were the product of his life experiences which reveal why he chose this career. Although Shakespeare is known for many of his poems, “Juliet's Soliloquy” from Romeo and Juliet has many illustrative characteristics such as love, fear, passion, and hatred. This poem allows readers to view a picture of his passionate and spiritual beliefs in life. For a person to have such beliefs says a lot about their family background and how they were raised. Also, if a person does anything with his willpower for his significant other, there must be such strong feelings between the two. Therefore, his hard work and determination to improve pushed him into the world of all kinds of literature, as he realized in the poetic figures of the English period. In the poem "Juliet's Soliloquy", Juliet is alone in her room holding her jar of poison. As Juliet expresses her fears in the heartfelt soliloquy, the sheer gravity of the situation weighs heavily on her mind. She thinks, "What if the potion doesn't succeed or doesn't work?" She wonders if the friar deceived her and gave her the real poison instead of the non-poisonous one, so that no one would find out that he dishonorably married her to Romeo in revelation. Juliet quickly gets rid of these difficult and unbearable situations and false thoughts. He still fears finding himself conscious in the hot and cruel... medium of paper... and the web.
