Paper Summary:

This paper examines how, in the famous play, "Romeo and Juliet" by William Shakespeare, the concepts of light and shadow are juxtaposed through the four speeches in which Romeo and Juliet speak to and of each other and their love.

From the Paper:

"Tragedy must also have an element of irony, some aspect of the narrative that is unknown or unchangeable to the protagonist, but brings about his doom and seals his fate. There must be inevitability, the complete lack of ability of the hero to control or alter his fate. Irony and inevitability are present in Romeo and Juliet and are given a symbolic presence by the fact that the "light" of their love is only safe in the dark of the night."
