Challenges From Romeo And Juliet

In the tragedy 'Romeo and Juliet', Shakespeare presents the inner struggles of Romeo and Juliet, the two protagonists as one of the main themes. This is clearly shown at the end of Act 3 Scene 2 when Juliet receives the news that Romeo has been banished and Tybalt has been killed. Juliet is distraught at the conflict of her loyalties. Should she express love for her family or should she express love for Romeo? By using many different language features, such as oxymorons, paradox, antithesis and dramatic irony, Shakespeare effectively displays Juliet's conflicting emotions. Later in the play, Shakespeare uses the betrayal by adults to again show the inner struggles of Romeo and Juliet.

In the final scene, Romeo’s thoughts and actions are very rash when he decides to kill himself. When Romeo is told that Juliet has died, he immediately decides to kill himself. Romeo does not think of the pain and suffering that will come to his family and friends if he kills himself. Again, Romeo acts without thinking of the consequences of his actions. He has done without thought a sin that is not necessary and that could be avoided. Once again Romeo’s rashness brings causes problems and brings sadness to people that he loves.

There are three characters in the story of Romeo and Juliet that take some and most of the blame on the death of the two Romeo and Juliet. Two of the characters take some of the blame while the third character takes all of the blame. The two characters that take some of the blame are Lady Capulet And Lord Capulet. Lady Capulet is married to Lord Capulet and have a daughter named Juliet. The third person that takes most of the blame for their death is not a person at all. It is fate. These three characters are the reason why Romeo and Juliet take their lives. ("DBQ: Romeo and Juliet: Who's to Blame". Doc.B,A,D)

The characters in the play had different perspectives on marriage and banishment which may have caused the end in a indirect way. In act one, the nurse was satisfied about Juliet getting married to Paris but Juliet was not. “As all the world- He is a man of wax” (1.1.76). Juliet says “ It is honor that I dream not of” (1.1.66). In the first quote, The nurse is satisfied about Juliet’s marriage but Juliet is not because she says she does not dream of it. This determines that they have different perspectives on the prospect of marriage which made Juliet a bit cross. Romeo also has a divergent view when it comes to banishment than the Friar. “Be patient, For the world is wide and broad” (3.3.16) “For exile hath more terror in his look, much more than death” (3.3.13,14). In the first quote, the Friar says there is much more of the world than just Verona, but Romeo thinks that being banished is worse than death. This points out that they have different opinions because the Friar says he can go anywhere else now but Romeo thinks it is the end of his life. Thought the two generations had some glaring differences, they also have some very prominent similarities.

In Romeo and Juliet, Romeo attempts to protect his right to a good name, and in the process deprives himself of other freedoms. Act three opens in the town square with an argument between Tybalt and Romeo. Tybalt is attempting to fight Romeo because Romeo went to the Capulet’s ball and fell in love with Juliet. Romeo begins to enter a physical altercation in order to defend his good name, during which he slays Tybalt. The Prince arrives at the commotion and upon seeing Tybalt murdered, he banishes Romeo from Verona and warns, “Let Romeo hence in haste, else when he is found, that hour is his last (3.1.196).” Romeo believes that he has the right to be respected for his actions, and Tybalt is depriving him of his right; by fighting to preserve this right, Romeo sets himself up for the death penalty. Instead however, the Prince exiles him from Verona, “Let Romeo hence in haste,” with the condition that if he does not leave, “that hour is his last,” and he will be executed. Friar Lawrence hides the distressed Romeo and begins to deliver the news of

During tragic times, the question is always: who deserves the blame? In Shakespeare’s classic Romeo and Juliet, their families, sworn enemies, meet and fall hopelessly in love against all odds. They must die to end the ancient feuding of their families. At the end of this tragic story, the question of who to blame for the lovers deaths is asked. While Lady and Lord Capulet and Friar Lawrence are partially responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet, fate is mostly to blame.

When he first hears the news, he says, “Ha, banishment? Be merciful, say “death”. (3.3.12) This shows how emotionally driven, and impulsive Romeo is. Instead of being thankful that he won’t be put to death, like most other people would be, he says that he would rather be dead, than be banished.

In Romeo and Juliet we learn how Shakespeare uses vivid language to build character and depth in their roles. Shakespeare was a poet, playwright and an actor with a great love for language. Shakespeare was of great importance when it came down to the moulding and developing of the English language. Shakespeare had such an immense love for language that he created neologisms that we use in everyday life. Some of these neologisms he created include words such as puke, lonely, bedroom, democracy etc. in the play he developed numerous characters that played incredibly believable roles. An example of how Shakespeare made his characters believable was Tybalt, who spoke only forty lines in the entire play. Though he

Romeo and Juliet is a very tragic story of two young teens who fall in love, but in the end, they die because their love is forbidden. Many people ask, “Who is to blame for their deaths?” Many people caused problems that just caused even more problems. The tragedy of Romeo and Juliet’s unfortunate deaths could have been prevented if it weren't for a few people. The people responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet are the families at the start of the feud, Lord Capulet’s servant, and Tybalt.

When Juliet finds out that Romeo has been banished because he killed Tybalt, her cousin, she is utterly devastated, she is more broken up about romeo’s banishment than tybalt's death. She claims she would rather grief the death of Tybalt 1000 times rather than the grief she is experiencing at Romeo’s banishment. Her pain and sorrow cannot be measured they have no bounds. The pain she is feeling is worse than the pain and sorrow she would feel if the nurse had told her that not only had Tybalt died but so had her mother and father.

In the play of “Romeo and Juliet” the prince states,”And for that offence Immediately we do exile him hence”(Act 3, Scene 1, line 179). The prince banishment of Romeo meant that he would never step foot in Verona ever again. It also meant he would never see Juliet his wife again. If Tybalt never got in the way Romeo and Juliet would still be living a happy life. As a result of Romeo’s banishment from the prince, Juliet becomes sad and hopeless because of getting married to Paris and never seeing Romeo again.

This play consists primary of hyperboles, exaggeration is a hallmark of comedy. An example is when Benvolio asked Romeo not to leave him, Romeo replied by saying that “[he’s] not here.” He is saying that he was so in love that he out of this world. Another example of the play being over exaggerated is Juliet told her nurse to asked Romeo if “he be married.” She barely knows the guy and already wants to know if he was wed. That evening, Romeo went to Juliet’s balcony and said, “My life [is] better ended,” meaning he rather die than “wanting of thy love.” They only known each other for only a couple of hours at the most and they are vowing their life. Not long after Romeo had to run away, Juliet’s father, Lord Capulet, told Lady Capulet to tell

In the play The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare the character who action where at fault for the disastrous result was Romeo. His careless irrational and selfish moves caused him and his 20 second love, Juliet to lose there life at a very young ages. “ Tybalt is gone, and Romeo banished; Romeo that killed him, he is banished” ( Act 3, scene 2, line 70). This shows how the hostility escalated quickly and turned south for poor Romeo causing the loss of a life and his banishment for the city he has known forever. “ Thou canst not speak of that thou dost not feel. Wert thou as young as I, Juliet thy love, An hour but married, Tybalt murdered… Taking measures of an unmade grave” ( Act 3, Scene 3, Line 65). Exhibiting the carelessness

The outcome of this rash action is Romeo being banished from

In this act is where the challenge took place. Romeo had second thoughts about fighting Tybalt because they were now family even though no one knew. Tybalt was killed During the challenge along with Mercutio. Because Tybalt was killed they banished Romeo from Verona. This was a terrible tragedy considering he was now away from his wife and no one knew they were even married beside the Nurse, the Friar, Romeo and Juliet . Along with all of this happening Capulet was forcing Juliet to marry Paris. But she cannot marry him because she is already married and they cannot remarry in this time. Capulet wasn’t accepting no for an answer they were to be married Thursday.
