染雾《罗密欧与朱丽叶》英文读后感 篇一
After reading "Romeo and Juliet" in English, I was deeply moved by the tragic love story between Romeo and Juliet. The play, written by William Shakespeare, explores the themes of love, fate, and the consequences of impulsive actions.
First and foremost, the theme of love is prevalent throughout the play. Romeo and Juliet's love for each other is portrayed as intense and passionate. They are willing to defy their families and go to great lengths to be together. Their love is so strong that they are even willing to die for each other. This portrayal of love as a powerful force that can overcome all obstacles is both romantic and tragic.
Secondly, the theme of fate is woven throughout the play. From the very beginning, it is clear that Romeo and Juliet are fated to meet and fall in love. The prologue foreshadows their tragic end, stating that they are "star-crossed lovers" destined for death. Despite their best efforts to escape their fate, they are ultimately unable to do so. This theme raises questions about the role of fate in our lives and whether we have any control over our own destinies.
Lastly, the play explores the consequences of impulsive actions. Both Romeo and Juliet make decisions based on their emotions without fully considering the consequences. Romeo's impulsive nature leads him to kill Tybalt, which sets off a chain of events that ultimately leads to their deaths. Juliet's impulsive decision to fake her own death also has tragic consequences. This serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of acting on impulse without thinking through the potential outcomes.
In conclusion, "Romeo and Juliet" is a timeless love story that explores themes of love, fate, and the consequences of impulsive actions. Shakespeare's masterful storytelling and beautiful language make it a captivating read. The play serves as a reminder of the power of love and the devastating consequences that can result from impulsive decisions. It is a story that continues to resonate with readers of all ages and reminds us of the complexities of human emotions.

《罗密欧与朱丽叶》英文读后感
Shakespeare shows his dramatic skill freely in Romeo and Juliet, providing intense moments of shift between comedy and tragedy. Before Mercutio"s death in Act three, the play is largely a comedy. After his accidental demise, the play suddenly becomes very serious and takes on more of a tragic tone. Still, the fact that Romeo is banished, rather than executed, offers a hope that things will work out. When Friar Lawrence offers Juliet a plan to reunite her with Romeo the audience still has a reason to believe that all will end well. They are in a breathless state of suspense by the opening of the last scene in the tomb: If Romeo is delayed long enough for the Friar to arrive, he and Juliet may yet be saved. This only makes it all the more tragic when everything falls apart in the end.
Shakespeare also uses subplots to offer a clearer view of the actions of the main characters, and provide an axis around which the main plot turns. For example, when the play begins, Romeo is in love with Rosaline, who has refused all of his advances. Romeo"s infatuation with her stands in obvious contrast to his later love for Juliet. This provides a comparison through which the audience can see the seriousness of Romeo and Juliet"s love an
Shakespeare uses a large variety of poetic forms throughout the play. He begins with a 14-line prologue in the form of a Shakespearean sonnet, spoken by a Chorus. Most of Romeo and Juliet is, however, written in blank verse, and much of it in strict iambic pentameter, with less rhythmic variation than in most of Shakespeare"s later plays. In choosing forms, Shakespeare matches the poetry to the character who uses it. Friar Lawrence, for example, uses sermon and sententiae forms, and the Nurse uses a unique blank verse form that closely matches colloquial speech. Each of these forms is also moulded and matched to the emotion of the scene the character occupies. For example, when Romeo talks about Rosaline earlier in the play, he uses the Petrarchan sonnet form. Petrarchan sonnets were often used by men at the time to exaggerate the beauty of women who were impossible for them to attain, as in Romeo"s situation with Rosaline. This sonnet form is also used by Lady Capulet to describe Count Paris to Juliet as a handsome man. When Romeo and Juliet meet, the poetic form changes from the Petrarchan （which was becoming archaic in Shakespeare"s day） to a then more contemporary sonnet form, using pilgrims and saints as metaphors. Finally, when the two meet on the balcony, Romeo attempts to use the sonnet form to pledge his love, but Juliet breaks it by saying Dost thou love me? By doing this, she searches for true expression, rather than a poetic exaggeration of their love. Juliet uses monosyllabic words with Romeo, but uses formal language with Paris. Other forms in the play include an epithalamium by Juliet, a rhapsody in Mercutio"s Queen Mab speech, and an elegy by Paris. Shakespeare saves his prose style most often for the common people in the play, though at times for other characters, such as Mercutio.
