Change In Romeo And Juliet

He realizes he will no longer be able to see Juliet, and he cannot cope with himself anymore. Romeo feels that he has failed Juliet because he was blinded by his family ties. Romeo does not want to kill himself until he hears that his true love, Juliet, is dead. His realization of the sacrifices one needs to make for love allowed him to grow in maturity. Shakespeare writes, “I sell thee poison; thou hast sold me none, Farewell, buy food, and get thyself in flesh, (Romeo & Juliet. 5.2.217).” This excerpt shows how little value he has placed on worldly things, and only cares about being with Juliet. He has always been love-struck; however, it is more of an obligation he is fulfilling. Although his decision to kill himself was rash, Romeo is a young lover and felt his actions resulted in the death of Juliet.

Within the play titled Romeo and Juliet written by William Shakespeare the character Juliet of the Capulet family changes her attitude toward love and marriage. Shakespeare's play displays that Juliet’s attitude adjusts throughout the play; she goes from being an independent woman who does not seek marriage, to having a cautious love, to eventually hopelessly in love. At the beginning of the play Juliet’s mother speaks with her about marriage, which Juliet answers to her mother "It is an honor I dream not of,” showing that she has no interest in love. Then when the play moves to the balcony scene Juliet shows change of where she feels that Romeo is her first love, yet she still displays no intent to marry. Eventually after Juliet does decide

During act four, scene one, Juliet advances from bold and discourteous towards Paris to sorrowful then ecstatic towards Friar Laurence. It starts from when she enters the scene and Paris calls her his lovely wife, and she replies back that they aren’t married yet. In addition, Paris wants Juliet to admit her love to him, but she won’t tell him to his face whether she loves him or not. Once Paris exits the act, Juliet is very distressed because she does not want to get married to Paris, and she wants to be with Romeo. Friar Laurence makes her ecstatic when he has a plan to prevent her from getting married to Paris and to be with Romeo. The plan was for her to drink liquor mixed with a sleep-inducing drug that will cause the person who drinks

The next transformation is Juliet's defiance of her parent's wishes for her to marry Paris. The context of this scene is crucially important, for a woman to defy a man, much less a father in the Elizabethan Age, is preposterous. Although Juliet is only fourteen her development into a woman is beginning as her submissive nature leaves her. In her conversation with her mother, Juliet boldly makes puns to her undying love for Romeo. For example she says, ."..no man like he doth grieve my heart," (III.v. 175) in reference to Romeo, however her mother believes that Romeo makes her sad for murdering Tybalt. Even in the face of her monstrous and powerful father she holds fast to her heart's desire. Again, this time using Capulet for the vehicle, Juliet's death is foreshadowed, as Capulet tells Juliet to "Hang, beg, starve, die in the streets, For, by my soul, I'll ne'er acknowledge thee" (III.v.194-195).

He jumps right in, and tells Balthasar to get the horses ready at once. Romeo and Juliet’s lack of maturity also causes them to love one another without a limit. They are too immature to realize that the feeling of love should not conquer common sense and reasoning. They love each other too such an extreme, that they are inseparable; and once separated, they are willing to go up to any extent to be loyal to each other and their love. This idea is strongly emphasized when Juliet is willing to kill herself rather than marry Paris which proves that she is loyal to her love. Romeo, in return, kills himself after he sees Juliet dead, which shows that he too is loyal to his love. Romeo and Juliet are both young and immature when they fall in love with each other, and their immaturity results in them not understanding that love has its limits. The young lovers love to an extreme neglecting love’s limits, which leads to them not taking mature decisions and steps, but rather rashly and abruptly on impulse to honor their love for each other. Romeo and Juliet feel such a burden to honor their love for each other that they end up committing suicide.

Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet is one of the most renowned stories of love and tragedy of all time. In order to escape marriage to another man, Juliet drinks a poison that will make her appear dead and give her time to escape. Just before she drinks the poison, her mind begins to race as she considers what may happen to her. She believes herself to have the worst fate of all time, not remembering that it was her own rash decision that brought her to the situation. Though considered almost adult in her society, Juliet’s immaturity shows itself in her desperation.

Romeo frequently displays how vulnerable he is to any form of issue before he even attends the Capulet party and meets Juliet. As for Romeo’s lovesickness, Dr. Stanton Peele notices that “Shakespeare begins the play with a long development of Romeo's withdrawal from his previous affair with Rosaline-he is so disconsolate he is already threatening suicide- well before he meets Juliet!” (Peele 2009). Considering that his only issue with Rosaline is that she does not love him - suicide is a major overreaction to this . Unrequited love, while painful to those who experience it, is in no way a reason for suicide. Even so, it requires Benvolio’s persuasion to keep Romeo from killing himself over something as insignificant as an unrequited crush. When he does meet Juliet later at the play, he goes from one extreme to the next, which Dr. Stanton Peele explains by saying “Note that Romeo goes instantaneously from pathological lovesickness to total infatuation” (Peele 2008). From one glimpse, his love consumes all of his thoughts and actions. He then proceeds to drag her down with him into his insanity-disguised as true love. Chaos unfolds as what they think is love at first sight spirals into an endless cacophony of fighting and death. Later through the play, the two lovers continue speaking of suicide-all in the name of

How does Shakespeare character, Romeo, change in the play, “Romeo and Juliet?” How does he suddenly fall in love with Juliet? How come his actions are done from impulse? Before the conflicts have arisen, both Romeo and Juliet had lived in separate households in completely separate lives; both of which are enemies. In the past, there had been multiple clashes amongst the two wealthy residences from heated arguments, to drawing swords.

Come, what says Romeo?”(2.5). Juliet is completely obsessed with her love, so obsessed that her love overpowers her, in a dangerous and controlling way. This of course does happen near the end of the play she takes a dangerous potion tricking her family into thinking that she is dead. This ables Juliet into hopefully running away to her love who has been banished from Verona. Though scarred she drinks the potion in hope of living happily ever after with Romeo: “Come, vial. What if this mixture do not work at all?... What if it be a poison which the friar / Subtilly hath minist’red to have me dead… I fear it is… There’s a fearful point! Shall I not then be stifled in the vault… and there die strangled”(4.2) yet she still drinks the potion for love: “Romeo, I come! This do I drink to thee.”(4.2). Her love consumes her especially after Romeo’s death: “ Yea, noise? Then I’ll be brief. O happy dagger! (Snatches Romeo’s dagger.) This is thy sheath; there rest, and let me die (she stabs herself and falls on Romeo’s body.)”(5.3). Just like that she ends her life because of her obsession over Romeo and their love. This is a huge change of her character, she goes from being just a child who “hath not seen the change of fourteen years”(1.2) to a woman who ends her life for love. This shows how much Juliet’s perspective on love and life has changed through foreshadowing.

In this love, story, Romeo and Juliet fight for what they want so they can be together even though no one else wants them too. Their love for eachother end up costing both of their lives.

In William Shakespeare's The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, love transforms Juliet. Early in the play, Juliet is a young girl who is very faithful to her family. After this young girl meets Romeo Montague, she begins to change. By the end of the play, Juliet is changed into a woman who is now very faithful to her husband, instead of her family.

<br>This shows how Juliet has passion and faith in her relationship with Romeo, while her parents are old-fashioned; her father arranges a marriage for her, and her mother takes the side of her husband, rather than that of her daughter. This scene also shows how Juliet has changed and has gained the courage to speak against authority.

“Yea, noise? Then I’ll be brief. O happy dagger, this is thy sheet; there rust and let me die.” (A3, S3, 169-171). In this quote it states when Romeo drank the potion, Juliet shortly after stabbing herself with a dagger. Juliet is showing her love for Romeo because she thought her love Romeo has died. Juliet’s love for Romeo is all so consuming that she cannot face a life without him. Her only option, as she sees it, is to end her own life and join him for eternity. She, being only thirteen did not think things through and ultimately physically killed herself because of all the negative thoughts and emotions she got from seeing her one love, Romeo dead. When everything ends up like this where the protagonist’s kill themselves or die in the end, it is called a tragedy. “Romeo and Juliet” may be a love tale, but it is ultimately, and unfortunately a very sad
