Question: Write a Short Paragraph that Provides an Overall Introduction to your Design and Character. Answer: Introduction The tattoo design is created to represent the character of Romeo. Using all the necessary elements, the design incorporates the use of four elements and four different symbols that address and reflect Romeos character. The use of colours that represents his persona, feelings and moods; use of symbols that represents challenges Romeo faces in life and use of symbols and word that describe his character, his interests and hobbies. The tattoo design elaborates the character of Romeo using symbolic approach, and supporting quotes from the play, presenting the image of Romeo as reflected through imagery and design and as supported by the quotes from the play. The first element in the tattoo design represents Romeos impulsive and brave nature. The charged wolf, ready to pounce on an enemy or a prey is a symbol of Romes impulsive nature which drove him to do extraordinary things out of anger and bravery and sometimes which on numerous occasions exposed his weaknesses. This is demonstrated after his best friend Mercutio is killed by Tybalt, as he told Benvolio, This days black fate on more days doth depend. This but begins the woe, others must end. Additionally, his bravery is topnotch. Despite knowing that Tybalt was a very skilled sword fighter, he did not fear him and decided to fight him in seeking vengeance after the death of Mercutio; saying, Alive in triumph and Mercutio is dead! Away to heaven respective lenity, and let fire-eyed fury be my conduct now! Now Tybalt, take the villain back again, that late thou gavest me for Mercutios soul is but little way above our heads staying for thine to keep him company: either you or I or both u s must go with him. A wolf is a very brave and angry animal. It can defend itself under all circumstances and do not hesitate to attack when irritated. In this case, it represents Romeos brave and impulsive nature, he exhibited throughout the play. The second element signifies Romeos romantic nature. A heart with plenty of growing and blossoming flowers is a symbol of romantic prowess and loving nature of Romeo which he exhibited throughout the play first to Rosaline and then secondly to Juliet. But he seems infatuated by Rosaline, who is not interested in him. His unstable and weak emotions are evident as they lead him to abandon Rosaline for Juliet, and this is confirmed by Friar Laurence who pointed this to him, Holy saint Francis, what a change is here. Is Rosaline, who you used to love so dear so soon forsaken? Young mens love then lies not truly in their heart but in their eyes. A tender and emotionally weak people tend to develop love feelings quickly and the heart growing with blossoming flowers represents Romeos tender and fertile heart ready for love to sprout without hesitation. The third element in the tattoo design symbolizes Romeos fear and personal insecurities about his future. A combination of the sun and stars and darkness is a symbol of fears Romeo had over the possibility of ending up with his lover Juliet. His fears are evident when he stated, I fear, too early, for my mind misgives some consequences yet hanging in the stars shall bitterly begin his fearful date with this nights revels, and expire the term of a despised life closed in my breast by some vile forfeit of untimely death. Romeo and Juliet constantly see each other as light. Romeo refers to Juliet as the sun and Juliet refers to Romeo as the stars. Therefore, the symbol of the sun and the stars represents the complicated nature of Romeos relationship with Juliet, as they have to constantly meet in the privacy of darkness while they see themselves as the sun and the stars. The symbol represents Romeos fears over his relationships fate with Juliet. The fourth element of the tattoo design signifies Romeos unstable emotional state. Romeo is ruled by his emotions. The symbol of a nectar feeder bird on top of a flower shows how temporary his emotions are; because, the nectar feeder does not feed on a single flower but rather wanders everywhere looking for sweeter nectar. This is illustrated in his emotions towards Rosaline by stating his feelings, Well, in that hit you miss. Shell not be hit with cupids arrow. She hath Dians wit and in strong proof of chastity well armed, from loves weak childish bow she lives unharmed. She will not stay the siege of loving terms, nor bide th encounter of assailing eyes, nor ope her lap to saint seducing gold. He later goes for Juliet the moment he see her. Romeo also expresses his weak emotions when he threatened Balthasar, But if you are jealous, dost return to pry in what I further shall intend to do, by heaven I will tear thee joint by joint. The nectar bird symbol therefore, signifies Romeos u nstable emotional state. In conclusion, the tattoo design has touched the most fundamental character traits that defined Romeo, summing up his naturally volatile and impulsive nature in everything that he did, whether in his expression of his love feelings, reacting to different situations and expressing his anger, excitement or fears. The tattoo design has therefore brought out the symbolic picture of Romeos persona, effectively using the different symbols and expressions to knit together his broader character image.
