was 16. The careful reader will also observe that Brooke writes in a critical manner of the rebelliousness of the two lovers and Shakespeare is more sympathetic to their
plight, considering the rebelliousness to being relevant to the lovers need to be together. THE CONCEPTION OF TRAGEDY While Romeo and Juliet is considered to be a tragedy of
fate, the characters in the play seem to be able to defy it in one sense. Each has no tangible character in particular other than those qualities that make
