Grief In Romeo And Juliet

Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy that has many deaths. Two of the most tragic are Romeo and Juliet. Their death was influenced by many characters inside the play, but some had more effect than others. The people most responsible are Mercutio, Tybalt and the Friar.

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.

Romeo and Juliet, one of many Shakespeare tragedy plays, reveals that Shakespeare thinks love brings sorrow and grief. The play tells a story about “two star-crossed lovers” named Romeo and Juliet, who live in two different households that hate each other. Many problems arise with Romeo and Juliet loving each other, but being enemies in nature. The story is told by many characters, including Romeo and Juliet. Through this, Shakespeare uses dramatic irony, repetition of epithets, and pathos to show how love brings sorrow and grief.

Quotation 6: “Evermore weeping for your cousin's death?/ What, wilt thou wash him from his grave with tears?/ An if thou couldst, thou couldst not make him live;/ Therefore have done. Some grief shows much of love,/ But much of grief shows still some want of wit.” (Rom. 3. 5. 71-76)

When telling the tragic, but beloved story of Romeo and Juliet from one of William Shakespeare’s many plays there are several characters in the story that could possibly be held responsible for the star-crossed lovers deaths. Three of those many characters should stand out more than others to blame for the beloved main characters deaths. These three characters are the Feud, Lady Capulet, and Fate. The Feud is one choice to blame because it it the cause of many other conflicts that take place in the story. While Lady Capulet does not cause as many conflicts as the Feud she does present one main problem to Juliet by pressuring her to get married to Paris as soon as possible. Lastly Fate is used many times in the play to explain why Romeo and

I think this quote is important because this is when the nurse found Juliet after she faked her death to be with Romeo, and because of that she will never see her family again. When Juliet took the potion she knew she was risking everything, and knew she might not see her family again. Her parents and the nurse are now filled with grief from her death that will stay with them throughout the rest of the story. Overall, this quote was the first to announced Juliet's plan to fake her death worked, and now the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet is even closer.

An infinite amount of children believe that Shakespeare is meaningless and is too difficult for them to read. Those many adolescents read the book for school, earn retched grades, do not understand the story, do not ask questions, and allow themselves to fail, all because they think that Shakespeare is pointless. For those who read it know how beautifully Shakespeare catches teen romance in Romeo and Juliet. Some might say that they know what all of the teenagers of the world are going through, but really when one becomes an adult they begin to think differently. When doctors and other officials tell a teenager that they know what they are going through, that man or woman, most likely, cannot recollect what it was like as a teen. One wonders

Romeo and Juliet is a play that shows how intense relationships between two young people can be, this is shown in the love that Romeo and Juliet have for each other. Then how Reckless Romeo and Juliet are stating they would kill each other if anything were to happen to the other. Finally the grief they have when they learn that the other is dead causes them to kill themselves shows the final intensity of their love. Shakespeare is trying to caution quick love or love that is created in an instant and has no thought or reason behind it.

One of the final people to make their mark on Romeo and Juliet is Paris. Paris is seeking Juliet’s hand in marriage and, from the start, is turned down as Capulet tells him, (quote). Capulet explains to Paris that he still believes Juliet to be too young to marry and that the offer is okay by him but that it must be accepted by Juliet as well. As Capulet goes on, he continues to encourage Paris to look for other suitors and even invites Paris to the party so that he may find other women there. As more events come into place and Juliet becomes distraught from Romeo’s banishment, Paris again comes into play. This time, however, he creates devastating results. Capulet, seeing his daughter’s anguish, decides to help her regain joy by marrying her off to Paris. This seemingly harmless act sets off the entire plan, to which Juliet drinks poison to fake her death and get out of the marriage. The rest of the plan is that Friar Lawrence should send a letter to Romeo in Manchua, and then he would arrive to take Juliet away when she awakes. Here, an unexpected change occurs, a change for the worse. Romeo fails to receive the letter and is informed of Juliet’s death, not

1.Shakespeare uses the image of the death in this particular scene to foreshadow the predicted death of Romeo and Juliet. “Hadst thou no poison mixed.No sharp-ground knife” this quotation illustrates that Romeo and Juliet die from Poison and a knife, which we know as a audience from the prologue. The use of dramatic irony makes the audience feel involved with the story and makes us react more emotionally, as we can’t aid the characters. In addition, the use of the element of religion emphasizes Romeo’s overwhelming love for Juliet. As he says “ Heaven is here” inferring that Romeo considers heaven as a place where Juliet lives.In reference to this scene, its shows how Romeo is heartbroken to find out that he is banished and is required to stay

The ending of Shakespeare’s famous play Romeo & Juliet, is devastating yet expected, as the “pair of star-cross’d lovers” (Prologue.9) dramatically kill themselves, leaving their friends and family in pure shock and sadness. In the play, the situations leading up to this dreadful incident should be blamed on the lovers themselves, as well as their secrecy with the absurd relationship that was caused by the couple’s family feud which definitely takes the blame for the double suicide. A long string of events that happened which lead to these deaths, were triggered by these three situations.

The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet is written by William Shakespeare. In this classic tale, two young teenagers fall into a forbidden love. Unable to be together due to their parents being sworn enemies, the two romantics commit suicide rather than be apart. Many devastating events occurr that cause Romeo and Juliet to take such drastic measures, but the strong personalities of Tybalt, Romeo, and the Nurse greatly contribute to the tragic ending.

One in 33 children are diagnosed with depression. Meanwhile, one in eight adolescents have clinical depression.  (Center for Mental Health Services) Today, metal health and the stigma around it is a very important issue, as there is not just one solution for it. In Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet, depression and suicide are very prominent themes.

Once love is found, any obstacle presented will neither diminish nor terminate that love, even when tragedy strikes with the loss of a loved one. Tybalt, the cousin of Juliet is one of the Capulet’s that despises the Montague’s and he will do anything in his power to kill them all, and once he confronted Romeo, he met his fate and died by Romeo’s sword. The Prince arrived to the scene and said “Romeo slew him, he slew Mercutio” (III.i.181), him referring to Tybalt, and once realized, he banished Romeo out of the city. Once Juliet discovered the truth about Tybalt’s death and Romeo’s banishment she said in grief “Romeo is banished- to speak that word is father, mother, Tybalt, Romeo, Juliet, all slain, all dead- Romeo is banished” (III.ii.122-124). Her heartache for Romeo’s banishment more than her cousin Tybalt’s death shows that he is her life, her world, and her breath, and without him she would be nothing and life as she knows is would end, even through tragedy and anguish.
