Changes In Romeo And Juliet

As seen, Romeo has, throughout the whole course of the play, demonstrated his impulsive and immature nature. Romeo, though he has matured only slightly with Juliet, still makes childish choices and decisions, and lets his emotions get the

Romeo matures as he is more shocked about what has happened between Tybalt who is his cousin. Tybalt died defending Romeo, as the scene continues Romeo is worried about the future and how it will be affected by the event that has happened today. The ways Romeo has remained unchanged as he still offers his love for Juliet even though her cousin has been the one responsible for Tybalt's death. Romeo says its time for him to rage his actions. Romeo is trying to put the pieces together as of what has just happened, the family is already feuding so Tybalt's death will be the beginning as another fight between the two. Romeo wants to kill Benvolio, Romeo tells Benvolio that he will join in heaven with Mercutio. Romeo develops because, all he wants

From the moment we first hear about Romeo, it is in the context of his suffering at the hands of love. Romeo’s father, Montague, perplexed by his son’s behavior states that, “Many a morning hath he there been seen, / With tears augmenting the fresh morning’s dew, / Adding to clouds more clouds with his deep sighs” (1.1.124-26). While this may be the first time we encounter Romeo’s melancholy humour, it certainly isn’t the last. In fact, one of the primary sources of our infatuation with Romeo rests in our sympathy for him. From the very start this poor boy is plagued by affections for girls that fate, it seems, will not let him be with. At first, it’s Rosaline, a girl who has “sworn that she will still live chaste” (1.1.210), a vow that sets Romeo reeling and complaining because “from love’s weak childish bow she lives unharmed” (1.1.204). His depression over Rosaline is enough to draw the attention of his father, Montague, who has observed that Romeo shuts himself up in his room all day in order to wallow in the darkness. These are the actions of someone who is undeniably quite

When Juliet finds out that Tybalt has been killed and Romeo is in exile, for killing Tybalt, Juliet feels both passionate about Romeo and disappointed in both Romeo and herself, which reveal her inner struggle. In Act 3, Juliet’s Nurse comes back with this news that Tybalt is dead and that Romeo is such an awful person for killing him. Juliet fights back at the Nurse, and herself, for speaking bad about Romeo. She claims, ““Shall I speak ill of him that is my husband? Ah, poor my lord, what tongue shall smooth thy name, When I, thy three hours' wife, have mangled it? But wherefore, villain, didst thou kill my cousin? That villain cousin would have killed my husband.” (3.2.99-101). This shows that Juliet is passionate about Romeo, because first of all, she says that she was wrong to say bad things about her husband.

The character identity of Romeo is William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet show the reader that when emotion and lust cloud the mind, it is hard to see through it to the other side. Romeo doesn’t even try to see through it, he just wants to live in the moment. Romeo could have been more responsible with Juliet and even though he didn’t have many trusting people surrounding him, it was still not a grand move on his part and it resulted in his and Juliet’s

Romeo makes many changes throughout the play, but none bigger than his love. He starts off loving

Romeo is portrayed as an emotional and reckless character. His friend Mercutio and Fr. Lawrence comment on Romeo’s fickle attitude when he immediately falls in love with Juliet completely forgetting about Rosaline, his first love. Romeo quotes,” Did my heart love until now? Foreswear it sight, for I never saw true beauty until this night”. His love for Rosaline was superficial. Juliet transforms Romeo’s immature and erotic infatuation to true and constant love. After meeting Juliet he matures very quickly. Maybe Romeo’s love for Juliet is so intense because unlike Rosaline, Juliet reciprocates his

In Act 1 Scene 1 Shakespeare presents Romeo as a depressed teenager that faces a difficult situation when Rosaline rejects Romeo’s love for her. This is because Rosaline is determined to a virgin until she dies; we find this out when Benvolio (Romeo’s cousin) asks Romeo “Then she hath sworn that she will still live chaste?” The word “still” implies that the decision to live chastely was in existence before Romeo tried to change her mind. For that reason Romeo becomes depressed and isolates himself from family and friends this is illustrated when Romeo’s father Montague complains “private in his chamber pens himself, Shut up his windows, Locks fair daylight out.” This implies that Romeo thinks that the best solution to this situation is to deal

Loyalty plays a big part in Romeo and Juliet. Ties of loyalty are woven throughout the play, binding certain characters together. The main theme is the feuding families of Romeo and Juliet that holds an “ancient grudge” against each other: the Montague’s and the Capulet’s. Romeo’s family and friends despise Juliet’s family, the Capulet’s, and as the play progresses you will find them defending each other in the face of an enemy. Romeo and Juliet have to defy their parent’s expressive wish not to see each other, and accept the consequences of their forbidden love. They question the fact that there’s no solid fact that the two family’s hate each other: merely time has blown the feuding out of proportion.

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

It is from this rhyming, oxymoronic phrase that the audience can gage how this soft spoken man was not a figure of hate in reality, but a loving man. Juliet’s character is also contrasted to the frosty nature of Tybalt and the rest of the Capulets - she epitomises the innocence of their relationship. From the start of Act 1 Scene 3, we learn from Lady Capulet that Juliet is still thirteen years old - ‘she’s not fourteen’. From this, this audience can assume that she is still at that age of naivety and immaturity, again showing that she does not belong in such a violent feud. Due to her age, Juliet evidently is a vulnerable character and one that likely does not have the mental ability to make intelligent choices, such as the decisions against her father’s will to not marry Paris, but to secretly marry Romeo instead – a decision that was to become a key factor in both Romeo and Juliet’s death. In addition, Shakespeare creates sympathy for Juliet through her innocence and good will. Her innocence and good will which is left worthless as she is left in a situation she cannot to anything about – a situation revealed in the prologue as being one that is fated to end tragically.

I feel that Romeo does not change very much in this play. He has many

The scene that was most different between the play and the movie of Romeo and Juliet was how the two crossed lovers first met each other. In the play Romeo and the Montague boys find out about the Capulet party through a poor peasant who could not read the invitations. While in the movie the Capulet party is announced through a newscast over T.V. I think the director changed this so the invite can go more along with the time period of the movie. This could change how the viewers see it by making the invite less secret. Over a newscast anyone who was paying attention to the T.V. could of heard the invite. Another main difference in this scene would be Romeo and Juliet first seeing each other in the bathroom across a fish tank rather than across the ballroom in the play. This could take away from the romantic side of the two first seeing each other. In the play it seems Romeo and Juliet have more privacy when they first speak to each other. In the movie the two are getting on and off an elevator just not to be seen. This could add more suspense to the scene and make the viewers see the movie from a lofty viewpoint.

Romeo struggles between his dedication to love and his dedication to honor throughout Romeo and Juliet as well as staying true to his family's side in the feud. Although in the beginning Romeo seemed to only "falls in love" with girls because of their looks, but, after being with Juliet, Romeo showed readers that with her it was more than just her beauty that he was in love with. Along with Romeo made sure to stick with Juliet all the way through until he found out that Juliet died and not fighting Tybalt because they were related after Romeo got married to Juliet until after he had good reason to fight. Romeo disregards the families feud after he finds out that Juliet is a capulet and even goes as far as trying to mend the families feud by
