Influence Of Parents In Romeo And Juliet

Parental expectations are basically the way parents expect their kids to live their lives. The definition of expectation is “the act of expecting; to have a prospect of future good or profit”. Parents often expect their kids to be perfect. By this I mean make all the right decisions, do everything the way the parents want it to be done, and live up to their parents standards. I don’t always agree with a lot of today’s parental expectations because some parents try to benefit themselves instead of the kids. In this essay, I will describe parental expectations from today and from the play Romeo and Juliet. I will link some of the examples of expectations to movies, or real life scenarios.

The Relationship Between Parents And Children In William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet The tragedy of 'Romeo and Juliet' is the result of feuding between two noble families in Verona/Italy. Romeo was born into the Montague household, who were the more controlled, quieter family. They did not 'enjoy' the fights therefore tried to avoid the feuds.

Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy play written by Shakespeare. It is set in Verona, Italy during the 13th century, two noble families are feuding and two young lovers, one from each family fall in love. Romeo and Juliet have to keep their love a secret due to the ongoing war between their families. This suggests that their relationship with their parents is not one of trust. Relationships between children and parents then and now are very different because today parents are much closer to their children emotionally however in the time the play was set in the parents and children were distant from each other, this may be because nowadays parents are the prime carers but then people would

Parenting is an ancient task that, till this present century, has not yet been perfected. It is a challenge that many mothers and fathers do well in while others unquestionably fail in. In Romeo and Juliet, both sets of parents are completely unaware of their children's thoughts, desires, and intentions. Not only is there a lack of communication between the parents and their children, but the parents also seem to have no interest in making an effort to know or understand their children. Therefore, as a result of their neglectful parenting , the classic love story ends in the suicidal deaths of both Romeo and Juliet, a tragedy that could have been avoided had their parents practiced better parenting skills such as interest, and communication or understanding.

Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare has many conflicts concerning the adults and children of the play. The fault of the numerous conflicts throughout Romeo and Juliet is clearly to blame of the parents and adult figures in the play, clearly shown through the adults forcing the children into unideal circumstances, and the adults attempting to make the problems that were created better. The children although histrionic, were prompted towards bad decisions and convinced towards erroneous plans.

Welcome to Verona, a town where two rival families and their accomplices make terrible decisions. For one, telling a child to get married at thirteen years old is a bad parenting decision on its own. In “Romeo and Juliet,” people got married and had kids at an extremely young age. Being so young, people of those ages tend to not make rational decisions; however, even the adults in the tragedy couldn’t wisely make decisions. Capulet forcing Juliet to marry Paris caused Juliet stress and made it harder for Romeo and Juliet to be together.

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

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. She does not have much interaction with her parents throughout the play, but the miniscule amount shows the differing of opinions immensely. Juliet’s limited interactions with her parents in the play show that she has a rebellious relationship

In The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, two young teenagers met at a party and immediately “fell in love.” They had a forbidden romance. To escape it, Juliet faked her death. Romeo didn’t know she was faking, so he killed himself in her tomb. Juliet then woke up, saw his corpse, and killed herself too. It was unwise of the both of them to act in such ways. If they had just both ran away at the start, that all could have been avoided.

What would the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet be if Romeo and Juliet were only a few ages older and not teens? Well, there are a conglomerate of possibilities starting with their impulse control, if Romeo and Juliet met when they were, at the very least, twenty-five they may have not acted as impulsive as they did. Maybe Romeo wouldn’t have kissed Juliet during their first meeting and instead would have courted her. Or maybe if Romeo didn’t propose on their second meeting they could have had a long marriage that united their families, and maybe if Romeo didn’t slay Tybalt he wouldn’t have been banished and wouldn’t have brought about his own demise. As teenagers the two star-crossed lovers had a very logical reason as to why they acted the

Many readers see Romeo and Juliet as a narrative of star-crossed lovers, a dramatic tale of lovers destined for affliction. However, upon closer examination, his play may have a moral even Shakespeare himself could not have foreseen. Parenting is risky business, and can lead a child’s demise if done badly. While this is exemplified in Romeo and Juliet, in today’s society many people are growing interest in this morbid topic. It has come to light in recent years that there is a new breed of parents. “Helicopter Parents,” named for their constant hovering over their children, are steadily becoming the norm. These parents seem to have no self control when it comes to their influence within

The age of adolescence has gained a reputation of being a strange and pessimistic part of the life. Many Adults look down on teenagers because of the growth of problems that stem from their questionable decision making skills on very important decisions that would affect them during for the rest of their adolescence and adulthood life. This state of life has been looked down upon ever since the 16th century. As seen from the story Romeo and Juliet where Shakespeare shows teenagers as most stereotypes shown them, as people who does not think about the risk that comes with some of the situations they’re in. From this it can be said the Shakespeare sees the adolescents in a negative view because of their ways of impractical thinking where they don’t think about what the decision they make during that age could affect them later in life and risk everything for one thing and show how the teenage brain acts on an impulse which he shows via the adolescent characters in the play, Romeo and Juliet.

It’s hard to blame someone for juliet's death when almost everyone was at fault, but there are characters whose actions were more brutal than others. While Count Paris is often considered the mastermind behind her death, many may view Tybalt as the one who started it all. In the play Romeo & Juliet by William Shakespeare one can see that Juliet's parents were the ones at fault for forcing the marriage and putting pressure on her.

“We’ve called it Family Safety. We are calling it Family Safety rather than Parental Control because people don’t like that term. Both parent and definitely child don’t like the idea of controlling, blocking, or spying on them or others” (written by unknown). Most parents think to have control of your child is the way parenting works. Some of these parents find that their child rebels against their “very specific” instructions. Between parent and child, their will always be a aspect of control and rebellion but this is because it could feel like the parent doesn’t trust the kid, the kid disagrees with the judgement call, and it has been proven to happen through surveys. In Romeo and Juliet’s time, when parents tried to use authority to control
