Analysis of Juliet from Romeo and Juliet

Lord Capulet’s firm and merciless control can also be blamed for pushing his daughter to the extreme and ultimately her untimely death. When Juliet refuses to marry Paris, Lord Capulet proves his insensitivity, even threatening to disown his daughter and cast her to the streets if she does not obey his wishes. He warns her that she may “graze where [she] will, [she] will not house with [him]… for, by [his] soul, [he] will ne’er acknowledge [her]” (III v 200-205). These threats instill fear in Juliet, and in her despair, she seeks the advice of Friar Lawrence who gives her a potion that will make it appear as if she is dead the morning of the wedding. Lord Capulet can be blamed for his stubbornness and insensitivity despite his daughter’s sincere requests not to marry Paris.

Lord Capulet arranges Juliet’s wedding with county Paris, but Juliet just got married with Romeo couple of days ago. He doesn’t know that and excitedly arranges their wedding “Monday! Ha, ha! Well, Wednesday is too soon,/O' Thursday let it be: o' Thursday, tell her,/She shall be married to this noble earl./Will you be ready? do you like this haste?/We'll keep no great ado,--a friend or two;/For, hark you, Tybalt being slain so late,/It may be thought we held him carelessly,/Being our kinsman if we revel much:/Therefore we'll have some half a dozen friends,/And there an end. But what say you to Thursday?” (3.4.20-29). In this scene, Lord Capulet arranges Juliet's wedding with county Paris on Thursday. The Capulets are unaware of the fact that Juliet is married to Romeo. Lord Capulet arranges Juliet's wedding with Country Paris on Thursday, while Juliet got married to Romeo a couple of days ago. This is dramatic irony, because the audience knows Romeo and Juliet are married, but the Capulets are completely unaware of this fact. The audience knows that Juliet only took a sleeping potion, but Romeo thinks she is dead and he creates a plan to kill himself. “Let me have/A dram of poison, such soon-speeding gear/ As will disperse itself through all the veins/That the life-weary taker may fall dead,/And that the trunk may be discharged of breath/As violently as hasty powder fired/Doth hurry from the fatal

Capulet only said this to Juliet because she refuses to marry Paris and all he wanted to do was make Juliet untroubled. Juliet was forced to marry Paris the day after that in which she went to Friar Lawrence’s cell beforehand. She got an elixir that can solve her problems from Lawrence which made her seem dead, but she is still alive. After all of this, Romeo visits Juliet to sleep with Juliet for eternity in her tomb thinking she is dead by drinking poison. When Juliet has woken up, she found Romeo dead. She retrieved a dagger from Friar to kill herself right next to Romeo, thus how did this tragedy happen.

Lord Capulet is very concerned that his daughter is too young to be married. He believes that she is still naive and has not adequately experienced enough in the world to be a great bride. For this reason, Lord Capulet denied Paris’ request in marriage. This demonstrates that Lord Capulet was protective of his daughter, and acts accordingly for the sake of her well-being. Juliet affirms her father’s decision, and in this way, allowing her to be obedient and loving to him. Lord Capulet’s responsible actions please Juliet to become obedient.

Romeo and Juliet deceive others due to the poor guidance they receive about their situation. They resort to deceit as a resolution for their desperate situations. Friar Laurence performs their secret marriage as he believes that this alliance could ‘…Turn [their] household’s rancour to pure love’. Juliet is later forced to marry Paris and asks the Nurse for assistance. The Nurse replies that Juliet is ‘…better in this second match’. The Nurse helped Juliet to marry Romeo but as the situation becomes tricky, she betrays Juliet and encourages her to marry Paris; she provides poor guidance in doing so. This poor advice convinces Juliet to consider a plan involving a ‘desperate… execution’. This desperate execution is provided to Juliet by Friar Laurence who provides Juliet with a potion that puts her in a sleep like death. The Friar

Juliet chooses to fake her, and one of Romeo’s men catch word of it and deliver the news to Romeo. As Romeo races back to Verona, Friar John was on his way to deliver the truth to Romeo but couldn’t make it to him in time. Romeo breaks into the Capulet tomb to see Juliet for himself. When he does see that Juliet is “dead” he does not choose to live any longer and decides to end his life by drinking a poison. When Juliet awakes and sees Romeo dead next to her she cries and tries to drink from the bottle the poison was in so she could die as well since there was nothing left in the bottle she decided to grab Romeo’s dagger and stab herself, and so she

Juliet took a Potion that put her into a deep sleep, which in result made her family think she was dead. Also making Romeo think the same thing, he went to her grave site to take his own life, there he had an encounter with her fiancé, Paris, and they engaged in a fight and shortly after killing Paris Romeo took his own life. A short time after Juliet awoke from her deep sleep she discovered that her husband and fiancé were dead and took her own

Juliet proves that emotion is the enemy of decision making through her actions with Friar Lawrence and her family. Capulet pressures Juliet to marry Paris at the church on Thursday, but Juliet persistently declines. After Juliet’s fight with Capulet and Lady Capulet, she states, “I’ll to the Friar to know his remedy. If all else fails, myself have power to die” (3.5.242-243). Juliet is explaining her last resort if all else fails. Instead of Juliet contemplating about her own death, she should have considered making other plans to resolve her issues. Additionally, Juliet goes on to to drink a potion that makes her seem dead for two days so that she will be able to be with Romeo, who was banished from Verona. Friar Lawrence gives the potion to Juliet saying, “Take thou this vial, being then in bed, and this distilled liquor drink thou off, when presently through all thy veins shall run a cold and drowsy humor, for no pulse shall keep his native progress, but surcease” (4.1.96-100). Juliet then accepts the potion stating, “Give me, give me! O, tell not me fear!” (4.1.124). Juliet lets her love for Romeo rein supreme and influence her to drink something that could kill her, just so that she could be with Romeo. Because Juliet caved in, she will pay for her mistakes

If only Romeo accepted his duel against Tybalt but he didn’t so Romeo says “Tybalt, the reason that i have to love thee doth much excuse the appertaining rage to such a greeting.”(3.1.63). Mercutio gets impatient of Romeo so he challenges Tybalt to a duel. When mercutio is dying Romeo kills Tybalt for revenge. Romeo was banished from Verona by the prince. An apothecary sells him poison to kill himself in Juliet’s tomb because he never received the letter from Friar Lawrence but he did hear about Juliet dead. When Romeo arrives at the tomb Paris is in the way of killing himself Romeo said to Paris”Wilt thou provoke me? Then have at thee boy.”(5.3.70) Romeo kills Paris. When Romeo sees Juliet dead he kisses her one last time and drinks the poison, before Romeo dies he says this” O true apothecary, thy drugs are quick. Thus with a kiss I

The night before her wedding day, Juliet waits for Romeo with excitement. The Nurse enters the room with the rope ladder that Romeo is to use to climb into Juliet’s room, but throws it down tiredly and sighs “ Ah well a day! He’s dead, he’s dead…we are undone lady”. The Nurse goes on and on, until Juliet thinks that she is talking about Romeo. After she has calmed down, she tells Juliet that Romeo killed Tybalt in a street fight, and tells that Juliet that no man can be trusted.

The potion imitates death and is meant to give Romeo time to meet Juliet when she wakes. The two are supposed to run away together, but the letter that Friar Lawrence fails to deliver has all the information about Juliet’s fake death. Instead, the news of Juliet’s death

The hatred between the Montagues and the Capulets triggered Friar Laurence to give Juliet a sleeping potion, an action with grave consequences. Her dilemma is that her father, Capulet, is ordering her to marry Paris but she can't because it would go against her religion because she is married in secret to Romeo. Juliet asks Friar Laurence for a solution to her dilemma. The Friar proposes that Juliet take a special potion that would make it seem like she were dead. This is the Friar's instructions to Juliet as to when to take the potion and the effects of the potion:

In the final analysis, the nurse, Lady Capulet, and Lord Capulet hold different reactions to the “death” of Juliet on her wedding day. Lady Capulet and the Nurse shared similar reactions because they both nursed her ever since she was born. On the other hand, Lord Capulet was sorrowful that the Capulet name would be put to an

“Romeo and Juliet” by William Shakespeare has been read in schools around the world ever since schools have existed. One of the characters in the play is Friar Lawrence, who makes many influential decisions that affect the story. Friar Lawrence marrying Romeo and Juliet causes more problems than it solves. Also, Friar Lawrence’s plan for Juliet to fake her death is one of the worst decisions in the play that leads to terrible tragedy. Finally, Friar Lawrence had the chance to save Juliet from killing herself after she awoke, but he gave absolutely no effort. Shakespeare used Friar Lawrence as a major driving force in the tragedy.

Juliet is the daughter of Lord and Lady Capulet. When the play begins, we learn from the nurse that Juliet is soon turning fourteen (“Even or odd, of all the days in the year come Lammas-Eve at night shall she be fourteen”). In Juliet's first meeting with her mother and the nurse, she seems to be an obedient and responsible child. She comes immediately when they call her and answers always respectfully to her mother: "Madam, I am here, / What is your will?" (“Act 1, Scene 3). She is also clever as when her mother asks her what she thinks about marriage, she gives an ambiguous answer by saying what her mother wanted to hear really: “it is an honour I dream not of” (“Act 1, Scene 3). We learn that she is
