Lord Capulet Monologue

As Juliet awaits for Romeo to arrive, the Nurse rushes into her room and tells her the awful news about her cousin’s death. “This is that banished haughty Montague. That murder'd my love’s cousin-- with which grief...Condemned villain, I do apprehend thee. Obey, and go with me; for thou must die (5.3.49-57)”. With these harsh works, Juliet expresses her sadness for the death of Tybalt, but in reality she is heartbroken by Romeo’s banishment from the town of Verona.

The tragedy that took my only child also took the lives of others and I am sure that the pain is felt by everyone. I am Juliet’s mother and I would like to take this moment to share with you the beauty that was, is and forever will be my dear daughter.

How Shakespeare Shows Juliet's Changing Emotions Through Language and Drama Introduction Romeo and Juliet, a story of two lovers, was written by William Shakespeare between the years of 1594 and 1596. The basic plot of the play was discovered as early as 3 A.D. and Italian novelists of the 15th century gave it specific features and detail. The names of Capulet and Montague are indeed the historical names of two significant households in ancient Italy but the character names and attitudes are all fictional. The Italians stress that the story is indeed a factual tale and that places such as the Capulet tomb and the Balcony of Giulietta are the places where the tragic tale took place.

In the play, ‘Romeo and Juliet’ by William Shakespeare, the author tells of a deplorable tale between two lovers, separated by their families dispute. Due to the absence of support and the absinthal rivalry between their parents, Romeo and Juliet perish. Romeo and Juliet bear together by their parent’s similar lack of support and communication as well as personal egoism and overall narcissistic behavior which ultimately lead to taking their own life.

As she was a mother-figure and confidante to Juliet, immense trust and guidance was expected of her. She however, destroyed this bond by referring to Juliet?s only love as a ?dishclout? and advising her that she ?thinks it best you married the county?, for he ?excels your first?. This then, results in Juliet alienating herself from her adviser-?thou and my bosom henceforth shall be twain?- and in due course killing herself.

When Juliet has temporary died dramatic irony is introduced to the storyline because the audience learn that Juliet is alive but Romeo and the nurse are devastated and felt a great loss. Nurse has come to awaken Juliet since it was planned that she marry Paris but instead Nurse found her dead in her bedroom. The Nurse states, “I must needs wake you. Lady! Lady! Lady!-/ Alas, alas! Help, help! My lady’s dead!/ O, weraday, that ever I was born!/ Some aqua vitae, ho! My lord! My lady!”(4.5.13-16). Given that Shakespeare’s uses literary elements dramatic irony is presented in the scene because the audience perceives she is not deceased. Also shows the love between Nurse and Juliet because of how worried she was for Juliet.

Juliet’s love and loyalty towards Romeo, and her developing character do not only play an important role in motivating her in speaking the lines that she does, but also in motivating her actions. Despite all the current events that have occurred; events that have affected her state of mind, Juliet decides to remain true and faithful to Romeo.

However, Juliet soon stumbles upon her fate when she finally meets Romeo and instantly falls in love with him, despite him being the son of her family's enemy. Shakespeare's text structure depicts Juliet as someone who is reckless, and does not stop long enough to evaluate the full consequences of her actions. "Farewell!—God knows when we shall meet again. I have a faint cold fear thrills through my veins. That almost freezes up the heat of life. I’ll call them back again to comfort me. — Nurse!—what should she do here" (4:3:14-18). Shakespeare uses paradox, hyperbole, apostrophe and oxymoron to convey the violence of emotions in Romeo and Juliet as also the 'sweet lyricism of young passionate love' (Albertan A, 2003). His clever use of dramatic structure enables the audience to switch between comedy and tragedy to heighten the tension, leading up to the heartrending climax. "O, look! Methinks I see my cousin's ghost Seeking out Romeo that did spit his body, upon a rapier's point: — stay, Tybalt, stay!" (4:3:19-21). This apostrophe is a solitary example of the establishment of tragedy within the play, showing how two star-crossed lovers have a destiny with death.

In the play, Romeo and Juliet, by Shakespeare tells of two families that have a huge grudge. A boy named Romeo and a girl named Juliet fall in love with each other and die in the end. In this play, Shakespeare uses a lot of figurative language throughout. He uses language like metaphors, similes and personification to describe the scenes and characters.

I am heartbroken over the deaths of my master and friend, Romeo, Juliet, who brought Romeo great happiness, and county Paris, who I knew to be a very honorable man. I hope that this court session will bring justice for Romeo, Juliet, and Paris. To help bring this justice, I will truthfully tell you all that I know.

While leading up to the climax, the story gets increasingly ironic and tragic. Juliet is seen as dead, although Shakespeare has shown us earlier that she will reawake in two days, this particular piece of dramatic irony leads to the rest. Romeo, unaware of this plan due to a bit of cosmic irony, rides back to Verona, after hearing news of Juliet?s ?death.? When he gets there, confronted by Paris who believes he is trying to do some evil from hate, not there for love, he is forced to kill Paris who we realize has true unrequited love for Juliet. And in the end Romeo believing that Juliet is truly dead gives a ?kiss of death? and drinks the poison, believing he will finally be able to meet with Juliet in peace. In these last two acts a combination of dramatic and cosmic irony lead to the loss of Juliet?s, Romeo?s, and Paris?s life. The Irony also portrays the obliviousness and rashness of Romeo, he gets there and finds that Juliet looks and feels alive and warm after being ?dead? for nearly two days, yet

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

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.

Inevitably, passionate love is woven through “Romeo and Juliet”, declared by speech and insinuated by the couple infatuation with each other. Without a doubt, several scenes were a strong representation of this obsession. Many scenes into the play, the young, lovelorn Romeo is seen in a dismal and in a disconnected state due to his unrequited love for Rosaline. But as his hopeless eyes falls upon Juliet at the Capulet’s ball, Romeo is resurrected from his depression in awe by the mesmerising beauty of Juliet; this was expressed through Romeo’s soliloquy. A little while into the aftermath of the party, Romeo, powered by the newly found momentous love, risks his life climbing the high orchard walls into the deadly grounds of his enemies, the Capulets. Although Juliet fears for Romeo’s life, Romeo fearlessly
