Sacrifice & Jealousy two shades of love


                                      Romeo and Juliet and Othello are the two excellent works of the greatest man in the history of mankind William Shakespeare. The both play written in very dramatic style keeping “Love” as a centre theme for both of the play but the plot and story of the play is very much different from each other in which William Shakespeare explained us two different shades of love “sacrifice” and “jealousy”  both and explained us the harmful effect of them . Romeo and Juliet are about young love and how it faces and overcomes difficulties while Othello is about the way a love is destroyed by an outsider. To understand the concept of these plays one has think from heart and not from the brain to really enjoy it. Because all the dialogues and situations used in the play give us deep emotional touch.

                                   Further, Shakespeare writes every moment of every scene to bring out its drama, texture and poetic richness. If a character is angry, they speak of that; lovesick, they speak of their heavy heart; vengeful, they speak of the joys of vengeance. Each moment he creates heightens the drama of that particular moment. Describing characters, events, environments as if from rote, while the dramatic richness of what should be the heightened moments of a scene are held back for some revelation or plot effect. Shakespeare is both a master of the moment, the scene, the act, the story. He presents passionate, feeling characters in full flower, not as seeds set to bloom late in fall. In romeo and Juliet he present the lovesickness of romeo and ability to do anything for the love and other side in the play Othello has been shown as the angry and dark  side of love is presented in a a very tragedian way to create the interest of the audience what is going to happen next.

                          In Romeo and Juliet  Shakespeare shown the failure of world to understand the meaning of love he presented the true correct picture of the society were love is restricted by the caste , status of the society were the people have failed to understand the significance and importance of love in the person’s life. Love speaks no language it is directly connected to heart is proven by showing how person from two enemy families fall in love. Shakespeare also presented the sacrificing shade of love in an entertaining way. While in Othello Shakespeare shown how jealousy can murder the love and how misunderstanding in love became the biggest pain in love. It has shown possessiveness nature of Othello towards its wife Desdemona. Othello’s inability to relate to individuals on a personal basis makes him a poor judge of character. It was proven in a series of intrigues in which Iago slowly convinces Othello of Desdemona’s infidelity with Cassio.

                            The theme and ending of both the dramas are very much different from each other in Romeo and Juliet Shakespeare message was to the society not to come between love and in Othello Shakespeare massage was to all the couples of society to trust their partner in relationship.
