Examples Of Resentment In Romeo And Juliet

This does not allow Juliet to make her own decision. An example of this is when Lady Capulet reinforces the plan in which Paris would be Juliet's husband, rather than letting Juliet choose who she marries. Lady Capulet speaks for Juliet when she says “marry, my child, early next Thursday morn.” Having little to no knowledge aforetime about this news, Juliet is utterly astonished. Lady Capulet continues by saying “[the] young and noble gentleman, the county Paris... shall happily make thee there a joyful bride” (III.v.112-115). After having already prepared her life with Romeo, Juliet is in disbelief that her mother would not attempt to step into her father's plan. Juliet lashes back at her mother by saying “I will not marry yet” and threatening that she would marry Romeo “whom you know I hate” rather than Paris (III.v.115-122). The lack of communication between the two characters makes them distant from one another, and the little effort provided by Lady Capulet to approach her daughter is the main reason for this occurrence. The control Lady Capulet has over different characters and her

Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare, tells the tale of two young lovers whose lives end in great tragedy. What makes their story so tragic is that despite their love for one another, their families are mortal enemies. Conflict is a central ingredient in Romeo and Juliet's sad fate. Although their love for each other is strong, it cannot overcome the deluge of conflict that surrounds them. Ultimately they are defeated by the conflicts of person vs person, person vs self, and person vs society.

hands of her kinsman. The hate is of Romeo by the kinsman as they are

The want for revenge leads many of the characters in Romeo and Juliet into murderous acts which eventually leads to severe punishments and a further need for revenge. The everlasting revenge in Romeo and Juliet is first born from ancient grudge between the Capulets and the Montagues, which is ultimately settled with the tragic, abrupt unifying factor of both Romeo and Juliet's death. Several instances within the interactions of the characters suggests that vengeance is driving force of the plot, and that consequently, there must ultimately be an end to the feuding and recoil, due to the fact that there must be a resolution after the thrilling climax..

In document B, the Lady Capulet is questioning her about marriage asking if she can love Paris “The valiant Paris seeks you for his love… What say you? Can you love the gentleman? This night you shall behold him at our feast;”(DBQ: Who’s to Blame, Document B). Once again throughout the poem, Lady Capulet tells Juliet she has to get married “But now I’ll tell thee joyful tidings, girl… Marry, my child, early next Thursday morn...The County Paris, at Saint Peter’s Church, Shall happily make thee there a joyful bride” (DBQ: Who’s to Blame, Document D) and Juliet refuses because she was previously married to Romeo and getting married to two people without an annulment is a sin “...He shall not make thee there a joyful bride...” (DBQ: Who’s to Blame, Document D). Whenever her father learns of Juliet's refusal he goes wild “Hang thee, young baggage! Disobedient wretch! I tell the what: get thee to church o’ Thursday Or never after look me in the face: Speak not, reply, not do not answer me; My fingers itch”. Afterwards, Juliet begs Friar for a way to prevent this marriage and he gives her a potion. Him giving her the potion in the end killed Paris, Romeo and

Hate is one very important idea examined in Romeo and Juliet and is explored by Juliet when she states ‘Here's much to do with hate, but more with love’ (1.1.166). William Shakespeare conveys the consequences of hate in his play through the ancient feud between the Capulet’s and the Montague’s, the irrational decisions made and the deaths that resulted. It is the ancient feud between the two families that lead to the irrational decisions made by Romeo and Juliet as well as their demise. It is questionable as to whether Romeo and Juliet’s lives would be spared if their families were not feuding.

Lady Capulet tells Juliet that she wishes that Juliet would be dead. Lady Capulet saying this shows her strictness to not appreciate her daughter's’ view on marriage. The Nurse uses her easy-going personality to be laid-back with Juliet and push her to elope with Romeo, Juliet carelessly takes her advice. However, when Juliet tells Lady Capulet, she does not approve of it, showing her strictness. Shakespeare’s progression of the foil characters, the Nurse and Lady Capulet show that other people’s morals can affect another person’s actions and confuse their own thoughts. The Nurse and Lady Capulet both have different views on love and marriage. The two different views and morals confuse Juliet’s mind and makes the tragedy all the more tragic. The Nurse risked her life to help Juliet elope with Romeo, by doing this, she is showing that she wants Juliet to follow her heart at all costs. The Nurse contributed to the secret marriage plan, “Then hie you hence you to Friar Laurence's’ cell; There stays a husband to make you a wife” (II.v.67-68). The Nurse is telling Juliet that she will send Romeo and Juliet to Friar

At first, Lord Capulet wants Juliet to decide if she wants Paris. Then later, Capulet wants cheer Juliet up, after her cousin Tybalt dies. He decides to arrange a marriage between her and Paris. Juliet is actually more upset over her husband, Romeo, for being banished. Later, Lady Capulet breaks the news to Juliet about her marriage to Paris and Juliet is very unhappy. Lady Capulet tells Lord Capulet about her reaction and he gets very angry. Capulet gets into a big argument with Juliet. He threatens Juliet that she will marry Paris or die on the streets ( Act III, Scene V, Lines 160 - 195). Juliet’s parents and even her servant, who helped marry Romeo, really want her to marry Paris. Juliet, becoming desperate to stop her marriage, goes to Friar Lawrence and they make up a risky plan. This plan ultimately leads to her and Romeo’s

This proves that The Nurse does not have any pre judgmental thoughts about Romeo, that she believes in him, and is substantial because it solidifies that she is kind not only just to Juliet (Act 3, Scene 3, line 85-173). The Friar actually accompanies her in this scene, acting out the same behavior, attempting to keep Romeo from slipping into a deep depression at the thought of never seeing Juliet again. And When The Nurse is commanded by Lord Capulet to bring forth the news to Juliet that she must marry Paris, though reluctant as she is, she agrees that marrying Paris would be in her best interests, and The Nurse tells Juliet what she must do which is critical because it validates that The Nurse will do anything to keep Juliet from harm even if she does not like it. Although marrying Paris is not something Juliet wants to do, The Nurse knows that that is what is best for her, and Juliet lies and tells her that she will marry him (Act 3, Scene 5, Lines 176-246).

Second, when Juliet was asked about marriage and when she wanted to be wedded, she told her parents she had no interest in marrying, and she thought she was too young. “Marry, that 'marry' is the very theme I came to talk of.—Tell me, daughter Juliet, How stands your disposition to be married? It is an honor that I dream not of.”(1.3.68-71) This is the first time Juliet is asked about marriage, and she clearly makes it known that she is not interested. Out of nowhere, Capulet arranges the marriage of Juliet and Paris on Thursday. Juliet says she does not want to be married to Paris, and says that she will not truly be happy. Lord Capulet does not like what Juliet says, and gets very angered with her. He even goes on to say that she is not welcome under his roof if she doesn’t marry him. Without having any support from her parents, Juliet feels very alone. First, she does not want to get married to Paris, and second, she is in love with a Montague. This is all frowned upon from both families, and the only people Juliet seems to trust are Friar Lawrence, and the Nurse. Unfortunately, Nurse even suggests she marry Paris, so the only people she feels are on her side are Friar Lawrence and Romeo. When Romeo and Juliet decide to take their own lives, the fact that they didn't have many other people besides themselves made suicide more appealing to them.They were desperate to be with each other.

William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet Romeo and Juliet loved each other, but they knew that it wouldn't be possible to have a relationship because of their feuding families. Their deaths were tragic, as it was mainly the people around them that made them so unhappy. They were so in love with each other that they took risks to be together, which lead to their unfortunate deaths. Romeo is a Montague. He falls in love with Juliet the moment he sees her at a Capulet ball.

Ever since the 1500s, the use of teen rebellion has been used as a theme in many works of film and pieces of literature. The theme is usually portrayed in music as punk rock music, such as the band Twisted Sister, or as a romance in a film, such as Romeo and Juliet. However, the use of the theme is not clear to some people, usually forgotten about or lost amidst the film/novel. Shakespeare’s “The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet” is a prime illustration of a teen rebellion, for two star crossed lovers entangled in a family feud are destined to die. The film “Mulan” is also an adequate example of teen rebellion, having a close comparison with the character Juliet with an addition of differences. Raising the question of what is the cause of this

Romeo and Juliet are “enemies” because of the feud between their families. If it was not for the hate between the two they would not have to marry in secret and kill each other to be together. Juliet’s parents also make her marry Paris but she cannot because she is already married. This leads to the faking of her death and the over all death of the two lovers. Their parents keep the two apart when all they want is to be with each other. Their parents are the reason for the hatred of the families and the death of innocent people such as Tybalt, and

What is more powerful, love or hate? In the case of Romeo and Juliet written by William Shakespeare the answer appears to be hate. It takes no expert to see that the famous novel Romeo and Juliet is focused on these principles and loves struggle to overcome hate. No matter how you look at the novel it is apparent that people act as a response to enmity. Whether it is Friar Lawrence in his attempts to amend a long suspended feud or Tybalt's fiery and violent ways that lead to many troubles and deaths, the book tends to focus in on this principle of love and hate and how they clash. In the novel Romeo and Juliet the deaths of the two young lovers Romeo and Juliet can be pinned on nothing other than the

When Lord Capulet tells Juliet of the news that she will be getting married to Paris in a couple of days, Juliet gets upset and tells him that she will not do it. When Juliet tells this to Lord Capulet, he gets very angry at her and tells her that she is not welcome in the family and that he doesn’t want to see her if she doesn't marry Paris. “I tell thee what-- get thee to church a Thursday Or never after look me in the face (Page 1014).” This quote is from Lord Capulet, and it shows that Juliet would have to sacrifice her family if she didn’t marry Paris. This quote also shows that Juliet loves Romeo so much, she would give her family up for him. For the end of the play, we knew it would end in a tragedy, but we didn’t know how. Juliet, Romeo, and Friar Laurence, had come up with a plan for Romeo and Juliet to be together. The Friar, who was also a very skilled herb mixer, made a remedy that put Juliet in a death-like coma, so that everyone will think she is dead, then, in two days Romeo will go to the grave to be with Juliet when she wakes up. Juliet did not know for sure if this remedy was going to kill her or not, but she knew she would rather die than be separated from Romeo, so she went through with the plan and put herself in the coma. Although the coma plan did work, and Juliet did not die, Romeo went to the grave and thought she was really dead because of a miscommunication, and he drinks poison. When Juliet wakes up from her coma, she sees Romeo there dead and kills herself.
