Banishment In Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet

A fight breaks out between Tybalt and Mercutio, and it concludes with Mercutio getting slain by Tybalt (3.1.48-55). Mercutio ends up dying which angers Romeo because Tybalt killed him. Romeo out of sheer anger, kills Tybalt for revenge (3.1.91-97). This is a significant scene because it really shows hatred because Romeo out of just anger, kills Tybalt. After the fights are finished, the Prince enters the scene with the Montague and Capulet.

The Nurse and Friar Lawrence’s opinions of Romeo’s banishment differ greatly; while the Nurse believes Romeo should be punished and shamed for his actions, the Friar believes that banishment is a better alternative to death. Friar Lawrence reassures Romeo, that although “from Verona [he is] banishèd.” the “world is broad and wide”(3.3.16-17). Friar Lawrence believes that being banished is better than death because Romeo can still pursue his love for Juliet outside of Verona. The Friar simply thinks that Romeo could be much better off being alive and banished than being dead.

In William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, the banishment of Romeo from the city of Verona is unjust because the Capulets were acquitted from any variety of punishment. During the play Romeo, a Montague, is to be banished due to the deaths of both Mercutio and Tybalt. Although the Capulets’ have lost Tybalt, the Montagues’ have lost their friend, Mercutio. The Montagues’, however, must also suffer through Romeo’s banishment. In the opening conflict of Romeo and Juliet the prince states, “If ever you disturb our streets again,/ Your lives shall pay the forfeit of the peace” (I.i.98-99). This statement provides evidence of the Prince being unequal to the two households because he’s being inconsiderate of the other side's argument. Although Romeo

In this excerpt, Romeo is complaining to Friar Laurence about his punishment of banishment for killing Tybalt. At this point Romeo and Juliet are married, and Romeo is supposed to meet Juliet at night to consummate their marriage. This all took a turn for the worse after it is discovered Romeo killed Tybalt; Romeo is now angry as he will never see Juliet again. The main idea of this passage is of Romeo whining to the friar about how death would have been better than banishment, as with banishment he is alive but will not see Juliet. An example of an implied metaphor can be seen when Romeo states, “Heaven is here, Where Juliet lives” (Shakespeare 29-30).

Friar Laurence Friar Laurence is a very caring guy that tries to solve problems throughout the story. He does anything he can to help Romeo and Juliet out but sometimes it doesn’t end up well. He wants the family feud to be over because it is causing him a lot of problems with all the deaths when they get in fights. When he tries to solve problems it usually just leads to more problems.        

“To help yourself, you must be yourself. Be the best that you can be. When you make a mistake, learn from it, pick yourself up and move on” (Dave Pelzer). In Act Three, Scene Three of William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, Friar Lawrence, a holy man and a father figure to Romeo, sees Romeo in a distraught mood. In this monologue, he shames Romeo for wanting his end even with luck on his side, as well as outlining a plan to deal with Romeo’s banishment.
