Romeo and Juliet differs from the other Shakespearean tragedies in that it emphasizes both good fortune (or the pleasures of life) and misfortune (or the pains of life) equally. This play celebrates Romeo and Juliet's joyful love as much as it laments their tragic death. It is a play with mixed comic and tragic elements, which proceeds happily like Shakespeare's romantic comedies in its first half but turns out tragically in its second half. Also, the first comic half carries ominous forebodings of catastrophe while the second tragic half is mingled with comic scenes, so that both comic and tragic elements can appear alternately (or simultaneously) throughout the play. This paper explains in detail such tragicomic structure, examining its effects on the play's themes, plots, characters, atmospheres, and overall dramatic effects and also discussing how the unique structure illuminates the meaning of the playas a whole.
The tragicomic structure of this play achieves a variety of effects. First of all, it gives the audience a very colorful and exciting experience of not only appreciating both tragedy and comedy within a play, but also watching the continuous reversals of events and atmospheres between comedy and tragedy. Second, as the play changes in genre from comedy to tragedy, its main characters grow mature and strong and the roles of its secondary characters become serious and complex, which adds zest and artistic merit to the play. Also the tragic reversal in the play, occurring after the whole process and outcome of the previous comic action, evokes a greater sense of woe than in other tragedies. Conversely, as the tragic sense grows deeper, so the comic vision underneath the tragic consequence-that is, the reconciliation between the two antagonistic families and the prospects of peaceful order in Verona-becomes more valuable and nobler. The coexistence and intersection of the comic and the tragic in the play thus produce the synergy effect of enhancing each other by contrast.
The tragicomic structure of the play reflects both the bright and dark sides of life. It also shows the ironic fact of life that happiness causes deeper sorrow which in turn helps to bring greater pleasure. Man, like the whole action of the play, is born to experience the ups and downs of fortune and doomed to die in the end. This play suggests that the best way for man to cope with the tragic destiny should be to lead his life with courage and dignity and sublimate his inevitable death into a noble and valuable act (or sacrifice) like Romeo and Juliet, whose deaths bring reconciliation and peace to Verona. The sense of spiritual triumph arising from this brings an affirmative view that life is worth living despite the hostility of its fate, which is a comic vision of life in a broad sense. In this respect, the tragicomic structure of this play points to the dialectic harmony in which comedy is reversed into tragedy that in turn brings forth comedy.
