Cause Of Violence In Romeo And Juliet

Document D shows, “They are two-star crossed lovers who live apart from each other because of the war between the Montague and the Capulet family that results in death in order to be resolved.” This relates to when Juliet was upset with Father Capulet because he has made arrangements for her to marry Paris. Lord Capulet is unaware of Juliet liking an enemy from a different family. In addition, he also does not know that his daughter is in love with a banished lover who happened to kill Juliet's cousin. This action causes Juliet to fake her death with a sleeping drug. Due to being far away from his wife, Romeo hears about this news and commits suicide by drinking poison. A couple of moments later Juliet wakes up to find Romeo dead. Afterwards, she commits suicide by stabbing herself with a sword. When these deaths are seen, it causes the Montagues and the Capulets to come together. Romeo and Juliet's death could have been avoided if the fathers had stopped the feud between the two

In the beginning of the story, the Montagues and Capulets break out fighting in the middle of the street and they are told to stop their fighting or the punishment will be death. Soon after the fight, Capulet

for example: "thou wilt quarrel with a man that hath a hair more, or a

But once Tybalt kills Mercutio, Romeo fights and kills him for the honour of his best friend. Consequently, he is then banished from Verona and goes into a state of depression because he believes that he will lose Juliet. This example made by Shakespeare creates the theme of conflict throughout the

The first aspect of anger in the play is the ever-lasting feud and the rivalry between the Capulets and the Montagues. This feud includes every one of every rank and ranges from the masters of the two houses and their sons to the servants and keepers. The reason for this feud is not introduced but the disastrous violence , riot , quarrels , and blood shedding resulting from this rivalry is described. The danger is lurking and the strife might break out at any moment as described by Hickey:

Romeo’s hate towards Tybalt for killing Mercutio leads him to make irrational decisions. He is so blinded by hate, that he kills Tybalt. Up until Mercutio’s murder, Romeo loves Tybalt for his relation to Juliet. This can be seen when Romeo says “ but love thee better than thou canst devise till thou shalt know the reason of my love;”(3.1.65-66). The murder of Tybalt prompts Prince Escalus to sentence Romeo with banishment to Mantua where he learns of the so-called “death” of his Juliet. This news urges Romeo to visit the nearest chemist to ask for a vial of poison that will “disperse itself through all the veins”(5.1.65). The hasty decision to use this poison as a means of death stems from the unknown hate between the two families as well as the death of Mercutio and Juliet. Juliet had no other option than to turn to the sleeping poison, for fear that if she didn’t take the potion, she would have to marry Count Paris. Lord Capulet threatened to disown Juliet if she refused to marry Count Paris, as her parents had wished. Romeo and Juliet’s hate for the feud between their families is what prompts them to end their

First off, Romeo thinks Death is close to Juliet, making him grow closer to her more than he was: “Shall I believe that the unsubstantial Death is amorous, and that the lean abhorred monster keeps Thee here in dark to be his paramour?” (5.3.102/105). Romeo asks himself if he should believe if a weak death is full of love, and it also makes him think that Juliet will not love him when she dies. Next, During the Romeo-Paris fight, Romeo taunts Paris: “I’ll bury thee in a triumphant grave” (5.3.83). Because of this, Romeo becomes overwhelmed with adrenaline and kills Paris. When Paris is killed, Romeo is able to walk into the Tomb and drink the poison to die by Juliet, not knowing she isn’t dead. Finally, Romeo still hasn’t received the news that Juliet isn’t dead, and is ignorant when talking to the Apothecary about his death: “To Juliet’s grave; for there I must use thee” (5.3.86). What Romeo means is that even though he doesn’t have to die, he still wants to die beside Juliet when he drinks the poison. His impulsiveness is finally shown when he drinks the poison shortly before the letter about Juliet is delivered. In conclusion, Romeo does not care about what happens to him, as long as he is always with Juliet. He will even kill himself for her, no matter the

But this love story takes an awful turn Romeo finds out Juliet is dead and drinks poison next to Juliet in her tomb. Juliet wakes up and sees her lover dead next to her so she takes his knife and stabs herself in the chest. The couple is honored with statues made of gold and their families ending the war between Capulets and Montagues.
