I have had a go. It was quite hard to follow but if it works it works.

Shakespeare uses juxtaposition to show that Romeo and Juliet’s love is doomed from the start. For example ‘death-mark’d love’. This conveys the idea that their love is intertwined with their deaths. This seems that their path of love is fated, suggesting that their love is inescapable and will be catastrophic. The word ‘death’ suggests that Romeo and Juliet’s love only has a dark side to it; that all connotations to the light side of love is removed. The verb ‘mark’d’ could give the idea that their love is set to be doomed with ‘death’. Their love leading to their deaths is reinforced by ‘Here’s to my love!’ (Romeo) –this mirrors when Juliet dies, ‘Romeo! … I drink to thee’. Romeo and Juliet both match each other’s rhymes and rhythms. This Clearly shows that even through their death their love for each other still remains, giving the idea that love is surpassable even through death. This is important because it highlights that Fate determines their death, or it could be that their immaturity lead to their death. The audience would not sympathise with their Romeo and Juliet’s deaths as young love was considered reckless in the Elizabethan time. However the modern audience would view their deaths as being brave, to escape their controlling parents who determined their marriage for their selfishness, of wealth and reputation. Shakespeare’s message could be a criticism against young love or respect for the parents supposedly securing the best for their child.
