Consequences Of Forbidden Love In Romeo And Juliet

The Capulets were way to strict when it came to who was to marry who and the reason behind it, while the Montague did not really care about Romeo and Juliet’s elopement. They couldn’t know because obviously they would not approve and either send Romeo away or Juliet. Making Juliet marry Paris when she didn’t want to and her mother’s constant talk of marriage put Juliet in a very stressful situation, which she did not like at all.

First of all, Romeo and Juliet’s forbidden love is evident in Romeo’s declaration that stated, “My life was better ended by their hate than death prolonged, wanting of thy love” (Romeo and Juliet 2.2.77-78). Their love makes them

Romeo and Juliet’s excessive love and blind love are the most powerful ingredients to their self-destruction. The young lovers, Romeo and Juliet’s idolatry for each other symbolizes excessive love by them willing to go against their families and committing suicide at the

Love, in 'Romeo and Juliet' has its own importance in the theme of inner struggle between the two protagonists, Romeo and Juliet. Juliet is torn between staying loyal to her family and therefore obeying her parents to marry Paris or staying married to an enemy, Romeo, “My husband lives, that Tybalt has slain; / And Tybalt's dad, that would have slain my husband: / All this is comfort; wherefore weep I then?” (3:2). On the other hand, Romeo has his struggles too. He juggles between the idea of banishment from Verona and not being able to see his beloved Juliet again and that of death, “Ha, banishment? Be merciful, say 'death'.” (3:3). The secret marriage between Romeo and Juliet is also one of the outcomes due to love. It is because of love that Juliet risked her parents' disapproval to not marry Paris and Romeo risked the danger of being killed by Capulet's kinsmen to go to see her. Yet again, this shows the inner struggle of Romeo and Juliet.

If she had decided to marry Paris like she was meant to, she may have still had a chance at being with Romeo. Once her mother tells her she is to be married, Juliet reacts very poorly. “He shall not make me a joyful bride!” (Shakespeare 248). If she had tried to consider the option, juliet would not have “poisoned” herself (to be fake dead), which would have prevented Romeo actually killing himself from doing the same, only for real.An after letting her father know her feelings, he becomes outraged. “Hang thee, young baggage! Disobedient wretch!... My fingers itch.” (Shakespeare 249). Capulet is very angry with his daughter which leads to Juliet feeling like their was no other way to live that to fake her death to be with her “love”. And even if Juliet had to marry Paris, she would still be able to communicate with Romeo, but since she had no intention on marrying him, Juliet took the potion, which led to both her an Romeos

Juliet is too afraid to ever tell her parents that she is in love with Romeo. It may have been more beneficial to tell them, rather than keep their love a secret because her father approves of him. If Juliet had told her parents, these star-crossed lovers may have not been pushed to take their

Don’t you hate it when something doesn’t turn out the way you wanted it to? When you care so deeply about something and sacrifice so much just so that it can happen, but despite it all, ends in ruins. This is the theme of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. In this tragic tale, two fated lovers risk everything, even life itself, to be with one another. They go against family, friends and fate to be together. Had premonitions in the play been taken more seriously by key characters, tragedy could have been avoided.

has on the play is that it helps to create all the other feuds and

Frist of all, forbidden Loves can be caused by many different issues. For example, forbidden love can be caused by differences in race, religion, social standing, gender preference, or in the case of Romeo and Juliet, family feuding. As a result, people, especially teens,

William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet focus on the two young lovers, Romeo and Juliet, who fall in love and die within a span of three days. Romeo and Juliet illustrate how the love brings them together to over power the control of their relationship. The moment that Romeo and Juliet declare their love for one another, they try to keep their love a secret since they are the children of the feuding families, the Montagues and the Capulets. Initially their families would be outraged against their relationship that Romeo and Juliet propose to hide the truth of their love. Once Romeo and Juliet reveal to the Nurse and Friar Lawrence their plans to marry, their relationship is nothing but a risk of problems. Romeo is unafraid to show his love that he teases Tybalt teasing him about falling in love with Juliet, although not explicitly. However, the deaths of Mercutio and Tybalt, occur when Romeo and Juliet take actions to protect themselves, but they are not however, protected. Juliet protects her relationship by committing a false death only for Romeo to believe it as true. As a result, the act to protect Romeo and Juliet’s relationship a secret are examples of the failed actions both Romeo and Juliet try to prevent; however, it is not ‘fate’ that control their lives and deaths.

If Romeo and Juliet’s families did not hate each other, there would be no suicide, and there would be no reason the two could not be married after meeting and being infatuated. The reason this is so important is because without this factor the play would most likely not be a tragedy, just a romance. If Romeo and Juliet had been married for a while, then true love could have been real between the two. Since the two did not know each other well, and were irrational teenagers, love was not the motivation here, the attraction the two had for each other was the

For this anthology about love I have chosen, and mainly centred around the topic of love that is forbidden. With this type of love, comes many struggles and questions that I’m sure must go through the minds of people in this situation. This is what happens with Romeo and Juliet in the Play written by William Shakespeare in 1591. It will be a romance that will strongly challenge them, but as we see it will not break the bond of love they have for each other. In this task I will try to describe the pain, happiness, frustration, forgiveness, anger, and joy through a collection of shorts texts that come with the topic of persecuted, and forbidden love.

“If you are not willing to risk the unusual, you will have to settle for the ordinary”(Jim Rohn). For the most part to acquire what you want you will have to take a gamble which may or may not pay off. Taking a risk is doing something which you do not know what the outcome will be in order to achieve what you want. Consequences are the outcomes of our actions. Most people believe that both risks and consequence are bad things, but as bad as people might think they are they can be just as good as they can be bad. In Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare develops the idea that the consequences of taking risks can often be very pleasing and worthy. In other words, risks are worth taking and the consequences can be very gratifying. Romeo yearn

People often say that your True Love is someone you would die for. In Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, this phrase is taken literally. Romeo and Juliet is about two fate-intertwined teens in forbidden love. This rash love leads to the unavoidable deaths of these characters. Despite the shortcomings and foibles of each character, it is ultimately Romeo, with his rash decision-making, who is responsible for all the misfortune and deaths that occur, including Juliet's and his own.
