Abstract (EN)

Mostly in Shakespeare?s tragedies and in these three; Romeo and Juliet, Trolius and Cressida, Antony and Cleopatra the theme of love the beginning of civilization has been the theme of literature. It is worth noticing that the three tragedies I have mentioned, when arranged in the usual chronological as here, show the rhetoric of society as working with steadily increasing effect as the lovers themselves grow older. In this way, Romeo and Juliet are passionate but powerless children; Troilus and Cressida are young lovers oppressed by the important social roles their world imposes on them; Antony and Cleopatra are at the end of their lifetimes of infinite power and indulged eroticism. As if Shakespeare aligned himself with different age groups as he himself grew older.When we look back over this sequence of tragedies, the surprising diversity of love experience presented in order. Three plays share common themes and attitudes, among them love, war and the notion that love between two people can conquer even death issues examined by the language usage differentiation and variety
