Update--Shakespeare
I've been a
fan of Shakespeare for many years, and I find my current wip is being influenced
by one of Shakespeare's plays. Therefore, I have used a quote from Shakespeare
to give it a kick start.
When
Romeo and Benvolio are talking about Tybalt, Romeo says,
'This day's
black fate on more days doth depend, but this begins
the woe others must end.'
Romeo
fears that the fate of Mercutio's death will be ongoing and that it won't end
that day. Meaning the feud will be stronger and ongoing until others must end
it.
Figurative language
is used in all of Shakespeare's plays. It is often difficult to understand as
it's written as one thing, yet it can mean several different things. When
reference is made to star crossed lovers, 'I defy you stars,' it's not
literally meaning the stars in the sky, but fate (stars are commonly associated
with fate and destiny)
One of the
main themes and significant factors in Romeo and Juliet is fate. Throughout
the play fate played a major role, as they believed fate was their
destiny.
Don't worry
I'm not using figurative language in my current wip. Lol But there is a feud that is ongoing and
has to be stopped. A death has everyone on edge and the feud, believed by
some to be none existent, is secretly growing stronger until Juliet seeks the
truth and uncovers a deadly plot between the two families. A plot that has existed for
generations. Naturally Romeo and Juliet do come together, yet Juliet suspects
Romeo of being involved in the deception. Oh, and they do not die thank heavens. Loved that movie btw.
2.000 words

smile. :)
Oh wip is short for Works in Progress. :)

I love Shakespeare as well, especially Romeo and Juliet. Glad you are into your writing again as I'm hanging for your next one.

Poetry and Shakespeare can evoke some strong emotions. Well done on the word progress, Suzanne. :)
Hi Tarnya.
lol... I think you will be waiting a while. I wish I could say in two months, but they are searching for a home as I write. :)
Hi Sandy,
Thank you, although I only managed 1.944 today. That's close. I usually make up for it on other days. :)
