Relationship Between Romeo And Juliet's Transformation

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

The nurse, throughout the story, acts like a best friend to juliet, and sometimes a motherly figure in replacement of Lady Capulet. While one of her main purposes is comic relief, Juliet looks up to her and she becomes one of the only people to know of Juliet’s relationship with Romeo. The nurse seems supportive, but her opinions of Romeo seem to change after the news comes of Tybalt’s death, when she says “Romeo can, While Heaven cannot. O’Romeo, Romeo! Who would have thought it? Romeo!” The nurse indirectly states her new distaste for Romeo, making Juliet mad. Juliet feels betrayed by this sudden outburst. Later, when the Capulets try to force Juliet into a marriage with Paris, The nurse reveals that she believes “I think you are happy in this second match, for it excels your first; or if it did not, Your first is dead- or ‘twere as good he were As living here and you no use of him.”(656). This is the second time that Juliet has been betrayed by the nurse, someone who she used to confide in and

Changes in Romeo in William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet After an emotional fight at the start of the play, the mood is brought down by the introduction of a love sick Montague by the name of Romeo. Throughout 'Romeo and Juliet,' Romeo's character goes through a number of changes, he matures from a self-absorbed child into a mature young man thanks to the trial and tribulations he encounters and overcomes in the play. Romeo is a very romantic character, but at the beginning of the play, the extent of his love is that of a teenager. He is infatuated with Rosaline, and due to her lack of love back, he childishly becomes depressed, locking himself in his room to in some foolish effort to get

“A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life”. In the play, Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, The character Juliet undergoes a big change throughout the story. Juliet is the daughter of the mighty family named the capulets. Romeo is the only son of the feared montagues. Romeo and Juliet met at a party and felt feelings for each other instantly. They have to sneak around so they don't get caught by their parents and are very serious about their relationship. In the william shakespeare play, Romeo and Juliet, Juliet goes from a loyal, obedient girl to an independent young woman. Shakespeare portrays these changes in act 1 scene 3, act 2 scene 2, and act 3 scene 5.

Due to the nurse being so unclear, Juliet thinks that both Romeo and Tybalt both have died. Once things clear up, Juliet figures out that Romeo has killed Tybalt, and her first reaction to this is anger toward Romeo. After things cool down, she feels bad that she has said this, and she takes her words back. Once Juliet learns about the punishment Romeo gets she feels the worst she has ever felt. Romeo was given the sentence of exile, which in the time period meant no connection to people, whatsoever. Due to this Juliet knows that she might never ever see the love of her life, at all. To Juliet this meant that there would be no more Romeo, “Juliet feels that Romeo is no longer her lover, and she can’t have him again” (Moffat 139). She started crying a lot after this, so much that her parents had to come to her room and see what was going on. When Lady Capulet inquired as to why Juliet was crying, Juliet right away said that she was crying about the horrible death of Tybalt. Lady Capulet responds to this by saying, “Well, girl thou weep’st not so much for his death, as that the villain lives which slaughtered him” (Romeo and Juliet 3.5.65-66). Juliet had just tricked her mother into thinking that she wasn't crying for Romeo, but rather Tybalt. The dramatic irony in this case is that the reader knows that Juliet is lying to her mother, but Lady Capulet actually believes this, and goes along with it.

In Act 1, scene ii. Capulet appeared to be a kind hearted man and he defers to Juliet’s ability to choose for herself, “My will to her concent is but a part” (I.ii.15). Juliet’s mother, Lady Capulet also has an influence over Juliet and her life and puts pressure on Juliet to marry Paris (the suitor that her father picked for her to marry). Juliet admits the power of the influence of her parents when she says of Paris, “I look to like, looking liking move; / But no more deep will I endart mine eye / Than your consent gives strength to fly” (I.iii.100-101). The specter of parental influence is very evident in this scene and it shows the influence of the society that they lived in.

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).

By creating comical moments, the nurse demonstrates comic relief by using laughable moments in order to offset more serious situations. The nurse is a comic relief figure, which makes it more likely for her to take situations less seriously. Therefore, the nurse is more prone to revealing Juliet’s secret to the Capulets. Throughout the tragic play, the nurse makes many malapropisms proving that she is not very intelligent and is capable of spoiling Juliet’s marriage by mistake. Earlier in the novel, the nurse makes a malapropism by saying, “I will tell her, sir, that you do protest, which, as I take it, is / a gentlemanlike offer” (II.iv.152-153). The nurse says protest when she really means propose, a big difference in meaning. This proves that the nurse is not so intelligent and is capable of revealing the hidden secret to Juliet’s attentive parents without being fully aware of what she is actually doing. Due to the ongoing rivalry between the Montagues and Capulets, the disapproval from Juliet’s parents to marry their rival will lead to their demise. The rivalry between these two families is so vast, that death is an

<br>This shows how Juliet has passion and faith in her relationship with Romeo, while her parents are old-fashioned; her father arranges a marriage for her, and her mother takes the side of her husband, rather than that of her daughter. This scene also shows how Juliet has changed and has gained the courage to speak against authority.

The showing of ‘Romeo and Juliet’ that I attended on the 25th of October at the Shakespeare Theatre was both an entertaining and refreshing take on the classic Elizabethan play. The Characters lived in a modern era with the same story as the bard intended, they used guns and switchblades instead of the traditional swords, the feast of Capulet took place during a house party and the marketplace fight was more of a cafe. The story of Romeo And Juliet could apply to any time period, two children falling in love but kept apart by parents. In this rendition, Juliet, Lord Capulet and the Nurse were all of African American descent, which although did not add any effect to the play, did not take away from the story any either. Traditionally the story

Did you know that a girl knows when a guy is looking at her in a lustful way? Girls feel hurt when a guy only looks at her physical appearance rather than appreciating her as a person. Don’t be that guy that looks at her shape because what about her eyes! They could be blue like the ocean but you wouldn’t know because you weren’t looking in the right spot. “Any person can tell you they can feel the difference from when someone looks at them with love or with lust” (Hostetter).

The fateful daughter of Capulet commences her transformation as a character by being innocent and obedient to her parents. Juliet demonstrates this by saying: “I’ll look to

The author, William Shakespeare, efficiently employs various events and characters in the play, Romeo and Juliet, to convey that love conquers all. Through manipulation of Act 2, Scene 2, also renowned as the 'Balcony Scene’, Shakespeare effectively demonstrates how Romeo and Juliet’s love surmounts numerous things, in the play. Additionally, Shakespeare portrays that/how the strength of Romeo’s love for his murdered friend Mercutio, creates a desire for revenge despite potentially receiving death penalty; displaying that Romeo’s love for his friend conquers the fear of death. Furthermore, the final scene also depicts how love triumphs over the terror of death and how the Montague and Capulet parents’ mutual love for their children, Romeo

This tells us that Capulet believed at this point that Juliet will be unhappy if she marries at this age, the irony however, is that Lord Capulets decision completely changes later in the play. The next scene is where Romeo and Juliet finally meet. This is the only scene, where the theme of love emerges, with no act of violence. Romeo first impressions of Juliet are, that she is beautiful, "for I ne'er saw true beauty till this night" Romeo believes Juliet to be, "a rich jewel in Ethiops ear"

Thus showing her vulgar tendencies, inappropriate speech and unsightly look upon young love. Also, towards the end of the story, when Romeo is exiled, Nurse betrays her by saying, “Romeo is as good as dead.” Nurse tells Juliet she better forget him and marry Count Paris. This scene towards the end of the book perfectly highlights the Nurse and her incoherency, disorganization and finally
