Romeo and Juliet is a play about the conflict between the main characters’ love, with its transformative power, and the darkness, hatred, and selfishness represented by their families’ feud. The two teenaged lovers, Romeo and Juliet, fall in love the first time they see each other, but their families’ feud requires they remain enemies. Over the course of the play the lovers’ powerful desires directly clash with their families’ equally powerful hatred of each other. Initially, we may expect that the lovers will prove the unifying force that unites the families. Were the play a comedy, the families would see the light of reason and resolve their feud, Romeo and Juliet would have a public wedding, and everyone would live happily ever after. But the Montague-Capulet feud is too powerful for the lovers to overcome. The world of the play is an imperfect place, where freedom from everything except pure love is an unrealistic goal. Ultimately, the characters love does resolve the feud, but at the price of their lives
The poet uses the archetypal symbol of the setting sun to highlight death in this excerpt.
The setting sun means that the night will come soon - just like death means that life has ended.
This is a rather personal question, and I can't answer for you, but I can give you my opinion.
When Macbeth says that line, he is referring to the meaninglessness of life. He is saying that life isn't really worth living because it is just a fleeting moment in time, and will eventually end, no matter what you do about it. He tried hard to fight for his ambition and become a king, and he did, but he died nevertheless, thus reaffirming his belief that life is 'signifying nothing' in the end.
Personally, I disagree with his opinions. Yes, life is going to end and we aren't going to live forever, however, we have to make do with what we were given. We aren't supposed just to lie down and wait to die - we should live our life to the fullest and make the most of it while we still can. As the famous aphorism goes, Carpe diem (Seize the day)!
A paradox contradicts itself so therefore it would have to be “Well, one must be serious about something, if one wants to have any amusement in life.”
The answer is going to be B I think but I’m not completely sure
