Juliet And The Little Mermaid

First, Friar Lawrence agrees to marry Romeo and Juliet to end the feuding between the families. He says, “In one respect I’ll thy assistant be:/ For this alliance may so happy prove/ To turn your households’ rancour to pure love.” (2.3.90-92). Secondly, he organizes a plan for Juliet to take the potion to fake her death. In the plan he also decides to send a message to Romeo explaining their plans but Friar John says “I could not send it – here it is again –/ Nor get a messenger to bring it thee,” (5.2.14-15) to Friar Lawrence so Romeo was never informed of the plan. Lastly, at the end of the play when he finds Juliet and a dead Romeo, he leaves and says “Come go, good Juliet, I dare no longer stay.” (5.3.159). Once both sides are involved, it means Romeo and Juliet must be

Throughout the book, Friar Lawrence shows the he has a virtue of peace to bring to feuding families together. Friar Lawrence’s soul reason for the marriage of Romeo and Juliet is to make an attempt at ending the feud between the families. Friar Lawrence said,“In one respect I'll thy assist be: / for this alliance may so happy prove/ to turn to your households’ rancour to pure love” (II.III.90-93). By marrying Romeo and Juliet he sees an opportunity to end the feud, once the parents of each households find out about the marriage maybe they would put aside their feud for the sake of their children. Friar Lawrence is wondering when Romeo will tell everyone about his marriage. “Where thou shalt live till we can find a time/ to blaze your marriage, reconcile your friends” (III.III.150-151). Friar Lawrence shows in this quote that he wants Romeo to tell everyone about his marriage so that it will bring harmony between the two feuding families.

Tragic accidents occurred in a world where two young teenagers met and fell in love. Many viewers have seen the story of Romeo and Juliet and numerous people have heard of it. Most of them do not know that the love story of Romeo and Juliet is very tragic and disastrous. Juliet’s parents are to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet because they were unconcerned, controlling, and resenting of Juliet.

Without even thinking about it Friar Lawrence's plan was a terrible plan just out of common sense as there were too many things out of the Friar’s control that could have happened. First, he has to worry if the potion even will work when Juliet takes it or even if she takes it at all. Then he has to worry about getting the word to Romeo about the plan which of course never happened. “But look thou stay not till the watch be set, For then thou canst not pass to Mantua; Where thou shalt live, till we can find a time To blaze your marriage, reconcile your friends, Beg pardon of the prince, and call thee back With twenty hundred thousand times more joy Than thou went'st forth in lamentation.” (4.2.100-105). Here Friar Lawrence explains his badly thought-out plan. His impulsive acts and plans end up getting him in trouble and costing Verona to Young people's lives. His plans failed because he did not take his time and did not think of being more reasonable because his Solutions were completely unrealistic. In a way, Friar Lawrence could be seen as a little bit selfish. Friar Laurence's religion does not permit already married people to get married. This would mean that the Friar would be going against his oaths. Marrying Romeo and Juliet when Juliet already has an arranged marriage with Paris would have

Romeo kept on forcing the idea upon him, so he marries them hoping that their marriage would end the Capulet and Montague feud, even though he did not ask for the parents’ consent. He displays his hope when he says, “For this alliance may so happy prove / to turn your household’s rancor to pure love”(Act I, Scene 4, Lines 91-92). Friar Laurence kept Romeo and Juliet’s relationship secretive, making the situation worsen. Later on, the Friar shows that he has regrets about the marriage. The Friar feels that, “Violent delights have violent ends / And their triumph die… too swift arrives as tardy as too slow” (Act II, scene 6, Lines 9-15). The Friar senses that the wedding is happening too quickly and doubts his decision. He had the potential to prevent the deaths of Romeo and Juliet, but his decisions led Romeo and Juliet to do reckless actions under his ideas. Friar Laurence’s thoughtless decisions led to the deaths of Romeo and

Friar Lawrence asked Romeo and Juliet to marry in an effort to end the feud between their families, the Montagues and the Capulets. He initially made this point by stating, “But come, young waverer, come go with me…. For this alliance may so happy

Friar Lawrence is responsible for the marriage of Romeo and Juliet. Friar Lawrence is completely aware of the feud between the Montague and Capulet families, which does not deter him from organising the marriage of this young couple. With the hope of restoring peace between Montagues and Capulets by turning the “households' rancour to pure love” Friar Lawrence agrees to organise the marriage (II, iii, 92). Friar Lawrence expresses his doubts about this marriage only a few scenes later by saying, “so smile the heavens upon this holy act, that after-hours with sorrow chide us not (II, vi, 1-2).” Friar Lawrence hopes the heavens will approve of his decision to organise this marriage, as he does not want to regret it later. He says this as he recognises that Romeo is far too young to understand what love is and that he should not be in such a serious relationship. Even though Friar Lawrence knows that this marriage could have Romeo and Juliet punished by their families and that this decision

In the end, Romeo and Juliet’s erotic and manic loving, made them perfect to die as tragic heroes. Although Juliet was presented as a mature and knowledgeable young lady, she still suffered the effects of being an Eros lover. Also, Romeo being more childish and impulsive than Juliet led himself to the tragedy of his death. All in all, the pair’s style of love was the main cause for their tragic

The Little Mermaid is an example of how woman were seen in society. In the fairy tale, women are characterized by appearance rather than personality by both men and women. The little mermaid mentions “But if you take my voice, what shall I have left?” (Anderson 226). In this quote, the little mermaid believes that she cannot just be herself to win the prince’s heart. The prince also looks at women the same way because of how he talks to the little mermaid. He asks her, “You’ve no fear of the sea, have you, my dumb child?” (Anderson 229). He treats her as if she is still a small child just because she cannot speak. The tone helps shape the whole story into a feminist piece. Anderson relays the moral of

In act two scene six in the cell of Friar Lawrence, Romeo and the Friar are waiting for Juliet and her nurse to arrive to marry Romeo and Juliet. While waiting for Juliet, the Friar tells Romeo, "So smile the heavens upon this holy act, That after hours with sorrow chide us not!" As the Friar says this he was not only blessing Romeo and Juliet's marriage, but in a way he jinx the marriage. The Friar agreeing to marry them decided the future of Romeo and Juliet. Friar Lawrence chose to help Romeo and Juliet which was his own personal choice. Romeo and Juliet were very rushed which has affected their future

Friar Lawrence imprudently agrees to marry Romeo and Juliet, even though he knows that it will cause later consequences. At first, Friar thinks that “For this alliance may so happy prove/To turn your households rancor to pure love” (2.3.98-99), meaning that he thinks the marriage will bring about peace to the two opposed families, the Montagues and the Capulets. Immediately, however, he tells Romeo,” Wisely and slowly, they stumble that run fast” (2.3.101). Friar Lawrence warns Romeo that if he is too hasty, then it leads to bad consequences. Friar Lawrence is clearly aware that if he and he alone marries the two, then their marriage will collapse, yet he decides to marry Romeo and Juliet. This causes both of them to sink into depression after Romeo gets banished from the city of Verona, his home town. Without Friar Lawrence, the two would not have married, which would not lead to their depression and further

Many people can easily recognize the story of The Little Mermaid. After its international success through the Disney movie in 1989 children and adults all over the world were able to fantasize freely about this princess fairytale. However, what many people don’t know is that the debut of the movie The Little Mermaid is not the original plot of the story following Princess Ariel. Born in Denmark, Hans Christian Anderson wrote over 40 stories which have now greatly influences modern day disney films. The original literary piece written about a mermaid princess was written in 1836 which is said to be the inspiration behind the disney movie, The Little Mermaid portraying the character of a young mermaid circling through the challenges of love.

As a payment for Ursula’s magic potion, Ariel must sacrifice her beautiful voice (Disney). Ariel’s desire for life “where they walk, where they run, where they stay all day in the sun,” is more priceless than her family’s honor, her mermaid fins, and her voice (Disney). In order to keep her land legs, Ariel must win the prince’s love before sunset on the third day (Disney). After many events concerning Ursula’s evil intercessions, Ariel’s dreams become a reality when Eric defeats the sea witch, wins back Ariel’s voice, and marries her (Disney).

“The Little Mermaid” by Hans Christian Andersen is one of the worlds most cherished fairy tales. Through the years, this story has inspired its fair share of different adaptations and spinoffs, as well as intertwined itself in popular culture. Although it is widely considered a children’s story today, upon close examination, we can find various elements of literary devices and themes, all of which provide the seasoned reader with a deep connection to the story. To honor the tradition of story-telling, it is essential that a short summary of the story be given.

But to gain legs, she must give up her most precious asset, her beautiful voice. There are some standard elements of teenage life here, including young love, and some degree of rebellion from ones parents, in this case King Triton, Ariel’s father. It was not Ariel's physical beauty that the Prince loved, but her voice. He is enraptured by the voice even in the presence of Ariel's physical beauty and great legs. The metaphor here should be obvious. What does a woman lose when she becomes subservient to a man, or male-dominated culture in general? She loses her voice. The point of the movie is that a young woman's beauty should come not from her physical attributes, but from her voice, her personality, her self. Metaphorically, without her voice in society, she is pretty helpless and powerless to change what's going on around her, explain herself, etc. As for the prince he isn't interested in Ariel just for her looks. It is also important to note that she gets her reward only after working together with her father, King Triton.
