Juliet's parents were not caring for their family. They only cared about themselves and did not take proper care of their daughter, as a result of their daughter’s death. They would ignore her at times except when they were in front of the guests. Additionally, Lady Capulet thought that Juliet grieving over her cousin’s death was foolish and made her look stupid, “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.” (Shakespeare.3.5.69-74).

This is clearly shown at the end of Act 3 Scene 2 when Juliet receives the news that Romeo has been banished and Tybalt has been killed. Juliet is distraught at the conflict of her loyalties. Should she express love for her family or should she express love for Romeo? By using many different language features, such as oxymorons, paradox, antithesis and dramatic irony, Shakespeare effectively displays Juliet's conflicting emotions. Later in the play, Shakespeare uses the betrayal by adults to again show the inner struggles of Romeo and Juliet.

Derived from the potent lessons that one should learn throughout their childhood and adolescence from parental figures is the concept of a moral compass; when one lacks this sense of guidance it can dramatically affect their ability to form a sound sense of judgment which could expose them to unfavourable consequences. In William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, the theme that when young people face a lack of parental guidance the effects can be detrimental to their futures is demonstrated comprehensively. The first reason for the tragic outcome of the play can be traced back to the selfishness of several supporting characters that bear significant roles in the coming of age of both Romeo

The human condition is a topic that William Shakespeare used widely. Almost every work of his explores the depths of the human mind like no other. This term refers to the darkest parts of the human psyche; we are full of dark morals and flaws, no matter how enlightened one may seem.

Relationships between teenagers and their parents are rarely boring. Since teenagers begin to think and act independently, conflict arises between them more frequently. This is not just a modern occurrence; in William Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, Juliet and her parents have very different points of view. In the play, she marries a man who is a member of a rival family without discussing it with her parents, which eventually leads to her demise because of the conflict that arises.

Is there a way to measure love? If so, are there any symptoms? In the play The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet written by world-renowned playwright William Shakespeare, two love-stricken protagonists, Romeo and Juliet, are kin to the Montagues and Capulets respectively, which are two powerful households engaged in a feud. Romeo and Juliet become enamored of each other during the early stages of the play even though they are aware of their families’ ongoing dispute.

However, the Capulets have planned for Juliet’s marriage with a noble kinsman, County Paris, which assays Juliet’s dedication toward Romeo. After facing a venereal

Juliet was brought up to dislike the Montagues without proper reason why. She cannot love Romeo, for his name is the enemy. Juliet brings awareness to this subject as she states, “My only love sprung from my only hate! . . . Prodigious birth of love it is to me that I must love a loathed enemy” (Shakespeare 84). Juliet knows she is not to love or be in contact with a Montague. She still continues to brawl for Romeo, even when she knows her parents will be furious if they found out. Had there not been a feud, there would be no need for Romeo and Juliet to hide their love. In the end of the book the two families resolve their differences, however it is still too late to save the young lovers. As the parents of both kids say, “For I will ray* her statue in pure gold . . . As rich shall Romeo’s by his lady’s lie, poor sacrifices of our enmity!” (Shakespeare 302). This quote brings about that Romeo and Juliet’s parents accept responsibility, as they prove the feud is the reason why their kids are dead. Overall, as Juliet’s parents believe holding a feud wouldn’t resolve in any trouble, they are held accountable for Romeo and Juliet’s

The feud continues to escalate and provides the background for the story of these “two star-crossed lovers.” This literary masterpiece is still relevant today since it involves parental ambition, family fighting, and young love.

Deplorable Fate When James Cook said, “Do just once what others say you can't do, and you will never pay attention to their limitations again,” he was reminding the world what he has learned from being a British Royal Navy captan: that you should control your thoughts and expectations, by allowing no other person to put negative limitations on your dreams. Nowhere is this more obvious or tragic than in William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, where unfortunate factors result in countless, unnecessary and unexpected deaths. Circumstances in this play determine opportunities and limitations for lamentable change. Romeo, Juliet, and the feuding families all end up affected by the antagonism between the Capulets and Montagues, the maturity--or
