Juliet In Shakespeare's The Tragedy Of Romeo And Juliet

In the beginning of this play Lady Capulet brings up marriage to Juliet, whom states that she had not even thought of marriage, yet she considers marriage an honor. Juliet wants to follow her parent's wishes and agrees to meet Paris, but she is only willing to see if she likes him. When Romeo appears in the balcony scene, Juliet states that she wants to wait and see if her and Romeo’s feeling’s remain the same overnight since she believes that their feelings may just be the heat of the moment

Juliet and Lord Capulet at first have a caring relationship but soon after Tybalt’s death this changes. It was planned that she would marry Paris when she was fifteen but after her cousin’s death, the marriage is brought forward. In Shakespearean times, it is not unusual for girls to have marriages arranged by their parents and also to

Juliet trangessal from social norms influences Romeo’s to both defy the feud and Elizabethan society's expectation of love. In the beginning Romeo complies to the structure of courtly love as seen through his overly dramatic, elaborate, affected phrasing but no real love directed towards Rosalind. Juliet’s rejects the maidens role to be coy and difficult in courting and instead asks for the sincerity of his love and for him to “take all myself”. By valuing real emotions over the idea of love, she influences Romeo’s change in language to more sincere and poetic. By asking Romeo to “purpose marriage” Juliet transgresses the social norm of the male proposing the

marriage and if she doesn't then he will be going back on his word. In

In order to understand Romeo and Juliet, it must be remembered that these two heralds of love were little more than children. In Renaissance England, the category of adolescence was not recognized (Cox 391). A person went from childhood to adulthood without the liberty that is allowed to modern adolescents. Nowadays, the teenage years are accepted as a turbulent period in which defiance of authority and assertion of "self" are not only allowed, but also expected. Adults explain away even the most inexplicable behavior of teenagers as "just a phase". However, as this was not done in Shakespeare’s England, both Romeo and Juliet were expected to take on the roles of adults, and were chastised for their refusal to enter in the adult world as their parents would have them. Juliet is first presented to the audience as a young woman who has come to marrying age: “Well, think of marriage now; younger than you, / Here in Verona, ladies of esteem, / Are made already mothers…Thus then in brief: / The valiant Paris seeks you for his love”(1.3.69-74). Juliet is presented with the idea of marrying Paris with

The story Romeo and Juliet is a story written by William Shakespeare and is mainly about rushed love and making hasty decisions that leads to heave consequences. The story mostly revolves around main characters Romeo and Juliet. Romeo is handsome, intelligent, and sensitive. Though a little immature. He lives in the middle of a violent feud between his family and the Capulets, all though Romeo gets himself in fight and arguments he’s not interested in violence. And Juliet is 13 years old and the daughter of Capulet and Lady Capulet. Her character at first appears to be quiet, shy and innocent. She then meets Romeo and shows she is not as shy and innocent as we think. Romeo Juliet is overlooked as a love story and it's more than that Romeo and Juliet love is rushed . For example While most good relationships take years to build, Romeo and Juliet met two hours before they decided to get married, romeo and Juliet fell in “deep love“ for no other reason but looks and appearances. This is proven on many occasions threw out the story, for example at the feast when Romeo thinks Juliet are attractive, just for that one reason he approaches her and lands a kiss. “My only love sprung from my only hate!” Said juliet indicating that she already loves romeo after the first time they met (1.5.138). This type of fowl rushed love, no one knew about their love. This causes a lot of potentially avoidable problems.

Throughout the play a comparison is made between Paris and Romeo and the different aspects of love they offer Juliet. Paris is "a gentleman of noble parentage" and seems to be a sensible husband. He is rich and would be a gain to the Capulet family. The marriage to Paris is a logical arrangement, Capulet says Juliet should "count her bless'd" as he has "wrought so worthy a gentleman to be her bride". She should be proud and grateful that her father has persuaded such a worthy and noble man to marry into their family.

Breaching the Capulet’s walls, Romeo creeps up to Juliet’s window to catch a glimpse of her, achieving his goal and birthing the iconic love line: “It is the East, and Juliet is the sun” (2.2.2).
