The issues at hand are directly targeted to the upper class tier of the American society.Of the many class issues that exist in the novel the ones that stand out the most are socially defined levels of class conflict, disillusionment of the youth because of World War One, and the youths disregard for Victorian morality.  Love is a very powerful human emotion that can bring people of different social standings together.In today`s society love can bring people of two entirely different social classes together with very little pressure and insult from third parties to keep these people apart.

For example a person who is considered lower class by today`s standard, could fall in love with a person who is considered to be in the upper class tier.In today`s World, it would be reasonably tolerated and respected by each person`s piers, a lot more than it would be at the turn of the century.  I believe that Tom and Myrtle shared a mutual love.They may have each had ulterior motives for love, for example Myrtle may have loved Tom because she believed he would wisp her away to paradise with his money.

However, despite this fact I believe they did share a mutual loving relationship for each other.Myrtle, as indicated above, was very clearly lower class by that times standard.Tom on the other hand, was financially set for life, and was obviously upper class.Tom could never openly love and marry Myrtle, because it would be considered obscene.So Tom had to marry someone of his own class stature, Daisy.  Daisy was likewise in the same situation as Tom.

Daisy had fallen in love with another man, Gatsby.But she had to marry Tom, because if she had run away with Gatsby, who at the time was very poor, she would have lost all of her class stature and ... 

Free Will in Romeo and Juliet

How much do the decisions we make on a daily basis impact our lives? Even little things we decide to do that may seem insignificant, or like they won't have any impact could determine how the rest of our day goes. While it may be dramatic, even choosing to walk a little faster or slower could cost us our life. Most of us know how rash, impulsive, and quickly-made decisions usually lead to some pretty nasty consequences, but none are usually as big and severe as what happens in the play ;Romeo and Juliet; by William Shakespeare.

The simple decisions of free will that the two love birds made, that were not carefully thought through and ill-advised eventually lead to the lovers undoing. It my not always seem like it but much of our life is controlled by free will. And the choices we make from the moment we are born, until we die is how people build their character and is a way of choosing how our lives lead on. This is shown throughout the play in many moments such as when Romeo gives in to his friends pressuring him and goes to the Capulet party, even though he has a feeling that something really terrible will happen.

And when Romeo kills Tybalt it was a decision he made in his own. And even with reason to do it there was reason to not to. So that was another judgment he made based on the situation. And even when Juliet decides that she will take the potion to ;die; she chooses that it's the best idea, and that it will give her a better chance of being with Romeo. She doesn't think about the effect it could have on them carefully and goes on with the poorly made decision.

So why exactly is Romeo go ing to the party such a big, life changing decision that he made? It's because that's where he meets Juliet. It kickstarts his rushed and hurried nature and basically is the initial incident. If he didn't want to go and pushed his friends for just skipping the party he would have never met Juliet, and the whole play wou...
