Here is what thee needeth to need to knoweth about the Capulet and Montague family feud! As thee hath probably overheard, lately there hath been more heat between the two families than there hath been. Last Monday our dear Romeo was banished from Verona after the quarreling session between him and Tybalt hadst taken a rough turn. After Tybalt slew Romeo’s good cousin Mercutio, Romeo tooketh mad action and tooketh the life of Tybalt. The Montague family swears he didst not kill the gent on purpose, ‘Twas an accident!” Lord Montague hath stated. This mystery of the ugly feud between the families hast been going on for decades and it hath only gotten worse. Officials such as one of Verona’s oldest citizens state that this feud all beganeth with
To begin with to the statement made earlier about the claim that the Montague's and Capulet's were responsible for the death of their children. If both families didn’t have an ancient grudge bot4h of the children wouldn’t have died. The both families had an ongoing grudge that didn’t allow them to be married to one family to the other. In document A, “Two Households”, it states in the third line “From ancient grudge break to new mutiny.” Proving that both families had or have a grudge and that made the turn into a war. Making both households have a fight. Finally, if anyone had any contact with the opposing family they will be killed probably making Romeo and Juliet very scared to be together.
The feud between the two families is a reason that they are responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. The Capulet’s hate the Montague’s so much that Juliet could not tell them that she loves Romeo. Document A states, “From ancient grudge break to new mutiny” (Document A). Meaning that the two
In Act 2 scene 2 shows us what real love is and how we are so capable on doing everything for that person just like Romeo is willing to marry Juliet, so in that way they could be together and make peace between their families. Some emotions that I felt while we were reading this scene was more challenge to read because you are not just reading what Juliet and Romeo say but at the same time you are trying to figure it out what are they feeling, for me it’s a little difficult because they are talking about love and love at first sight and I haven’t really been in love, I don’t think I’m, I like someone but there is a difference on love and attraction/like. One of the emotions that really represents this scene is love, because you can see how
The feud between the Capulets and the Montagues was the root of these tragic events. It caused the death of the young couple because the centuries old hate caused every issue that arose. No issues, fights, or deaths would have occurred if the feud did not fuel them. For example, it led to the fight that banishèd Romeo, caused Friar’s flawed plan, and ultimately led to the two lovers suicide. In addition, the feud against the family names was the only reason Romeo and Juliet’s love was only frowned upon.
The contempt the children in their family have for the other houses leads to the death of Tybalt, a kinsman to the Capulets, and Mercutio, a kinsman to the Prince, alongside Romeo’s banishment. Tybalt challenging Romeo to a fight for coming to the Capulet party leads to his and Mercutio’s demise and further tragedy to follow the two houses, “Tybalt. Romeo, the love I bear thee can afford no better term than this: thou art a villain,” (2.1.55-56) and “Tybalt. Boy, this shall not excuse the injuries that thou hast done me; therefore turn and draw,” (2.1.61-62). Romeo had disrespected the wishes of the Capulets for no Montagues to be present at their party; in turn, this had furthered Tybalt’s detestation of the Montagues.
Romeo was a Montague and Juliet was a Capulet and the families’ feud meant that the two could never be together. This is shown in this quote, “My only love sprung from my only hate! / Too early seen unknown, and known too late!’ (5.3.295-299). In this scene, Juliet complains about Romeo being a Montague. She wishes that he wasn’t so that they could freely be together. Also, both families and their servants would always pick fights on the streets of Verona. One of these fights would result in Romeo being banished from Verona. In a scene of the play, Tybalt, Juliet’s cousin decides to pick a fight with Romeo and his friend Mercutio in the middle of the street. Romeo tries to stop the fight because he is now related to Tybalt through his marriage to Juliet. This is shown in the following quote where Romeo tries to keep the peace, “Draw Benvolio, beat down their weapons. / Gentlemen, for shame! / ... / Forbid this bandying in Verona’s streets” (3.1.381-384), but no one listens to him and Tybalt ends up killing Mercutio. Romeo has no choice but to kill Tybalt for revenge which leads to the Prince banishing Romeo. Without the feud, Romeo and Juliet would not have had to keep their love a secret and, the fight that resulted in Romeo’s banishment would never have happened. This is why the feud between the Capulets and the Montagues is responsible for Romeo
Not only did they not stop their quarrel, the Capulet and Montagues hatred had pushed Romeo and Juliet to the edge and had led them to their deaths. Again, the resentment that Tybalt has for the Montagues is even more extreme than mentioned before, having a horrific reaction to seeing Romeo at one of the Capulet's party: “.A villain, that is hither come in spite / To scorn at our solemnity this night” (1.5.60-61). After being told to leave Romeo alone by Lord Capulet, Tybalt refuses and strives to get revenge. His revenge leads to him fighting Mercutio, Romeo’s close friend who isn’t even related to the Montagues but has stood by his side. Tybalt kills Mercutio and angers Romeo, who gets revenge and murders Tybalt.
This is true because the fight between Tybalt and Romeo that caused Romeo to be banished happened because of the family feud. Why the fight happened was Romeo was at the Capulet party and that made Tybalt mad so he went to go confront Romeo and killed Mercutio and then Romeo killed Tybalt which would caused him to get banished and then lead to the plan that would cause Romeo and Juliet to kill themselves. "It should also be noted that the play begins with a fight scene between servants of the two families and ends with a peace agreement between Lords Montague and Capulet. "(Kerschen
Although the relationship is described roughly, it is a base of this story. From their remarks and actions, it is clear that they hate each other. However, at the end of this story, Montagues and Capulets is reconciled regretting that they force Romeo and Juliet into death. Only two young children‘s death can stop the two families from detesting each other. Second, Mercutio’s death is how the tragedy all starts.
On the second floor of the Capulet Mansion, Juliet’s balcony, where I got the golden opportunity to interview her, offers a stunning view of the Capulet gardens. Juliet has turned down most interviews with the press seeing that she has had an emotional roller coaster after finding out that Romeo (her newlywed husband) had just killed her cousin, Tybalt, after Tybalt murdered Mercutio (Romeo’s closest friend). Juliet, in an unstable condition quietly sits down with pale-red, swollen eyes and answers
Romeo and Juliet is written by William Shakespeare and involves two “star-cross’d” lovers from feuding families, the Capulets and Montagues. Act 1 Scene 5 in Romeo and Juliet is of immense importance as it involves the meeting of Romeo and Juliet at the masquerade. This scene uses many language syntax to express Romeo’s feelings and woo Juliet which can be analysed like below.
Secondly, the ‘ancient grudge’ between the two household is an aspect of fate that can be deemed responsible for the lovers’ deaths. Shakespeare describes the feud between the Montagues and Capulets as ancient, meaning it has been going on for a very long time. Consequently, there were ongoing brawls occurring in the streets of Verona and as a result of this feud many characters are driven to extreme behaviours, including Tybalt and Mercutio. If this ancient grudge had not existed then there would be no reason for them to have a duel, however, as it did exist they had no other choice. Tybalt is furious that Romeo, a Montague, had come into the Capulet household and wanted to take action. He decided to duel with Romeo but as he didn’t want to Mercutio accepted the offer. This specific duel between Tybalt and Mercutio was the undoing of the lovers’ lives. After Tybalt had killed Mercutio, Romeo felt pity and sought revenge and ended up killing Tybalt
Oh how that poor tragedy of my beloved Juliet. She was such a beautiful, young girl, with her sun kissed locks. The power of love lies hidden deep in her heart. She was like my very own daughter. Juliet raised by my own hands, filled with the blood of the Capulet’s, and Lady Capulet takes the glory of naming her their child. Juliet was overwhelmed with the possibility of a fate that her parents feared. The betrayal, the adventure, the secrecy, lies hidden from the eyes of Lord and Lady Capulet. And oh how she thought she knew what love was. Maybe that was what caused her terrible, terrible death. Oh Romeo should have known better. Flirting with a member of the Capulet family, it was such a coward act. Oh why didn’t he ask for her hand in marriage? He
The conflict between the Capulet and The Montague families grows stronger every day as well the push for supremacy. Romeos intrusion into a Capulet’s party transformed Tybalt’s condition into an uncontrolled state which led to a fight between his nemeses ‘Romeo and Mercutio. The dispute between these 3 young adults is described as humorous but quite solemn by Shakespeare. The emotions that each character portrays at the beginning sequence are quite joyful and members of both houses speak with sarcastic tones and many jokes are passed along to one another. As the scene continues these emotions and events take a turn for the worst and the Motivations for the house members are now clear, one will claim revenge while the other will protect his
The Dramatic Effectiveness of Act 1 Scene 5 of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet In this essay, I am going to analyse the dramatic effectiveness of Act one Scene five of ‘Romeo and Juliet.’ This is one of the most important scenes of the play as Shakespeare has instantly created an atmosphere of romance and danger, through Lord Capulets banquet, which then sets up a chain of reactions. Romeo and Juliet first meet here, and immediately fall in love from first sight. Their conversation provides a glimpse for the audience of the roles each of them are going
