Act 1, Scene 5: Fate Had Failed



An eclipse represents the relationship between Romeo and Juliet. Both, the moon and the sun, are important for our survival on Earth, while both Romeo and Juliet, are important characters in the story. The moon and the sun never cross unless there is an eclipse. This is similarly demonstrated in Romeo and Juliet because the star-crossed lovers are brought together by fate, but soon have to move on because of destiny. In this picture, there are two very different colors that are usually associated with different emotions. This signifies the difference between Juliet and Romeo because of their family's feud. On special occasions, the sun and the moon cross creating an eclipse, but time never works in their favor. Soon they continue on their separate, paved paths, never given a good enough chance to "be together" like Romeo and Juliet.

  1. I think that this is a very interesting way to describe the relationship with the families and Romeo and Juliet with an eclipse. I also liked the way that you described it with fate and destiny.

  3. I think this is a very good way to demonstrate the relationship between Juliet and Romeo, as you refer to the specific line about "star-crossed lovers," which works well with this image of an eclipse.
