Abstract

As is known to all the play Romeo and Juliet has been studying by numerous scholars with lots of different results. Internationally and domestically, the paper aims to cite some scholars' insightful studies for themes of the play; focus will be on the character analysis of Romeo and Juliet. Based on their studies, I am attempting to apply the methodology of humanism and psychology to study the core point: Are the protagonists Romeo and Juliet vulnerable or strenuous, powerless or powerful, obedient or resistant controlled by the alleged star-crossed fate and patriarchic system in feudal society? And my critical review is proposed.
