Love In William Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet

Lord Capulet’s firm and merciless control can also be blamed for pushing his daughter to the extreme and ultimately her untimely death. When Juliet refuses to marry Paris, Lord Capulet proves his insensitivity, even threatening to disown his daughter and cast her to the streets if she does not obey his wishes. He warns her that she may “graze where [she] will, [she] will not house with [him]… for, by [his] soul, [he] will ne’er acknowledge [her]” (III v 200-205). These threats instill fear in Juliet, and in her despair, she seeks the advice of Friar Lawrence who gives her a potion that will make it appear as if she is dead the morning of the wedding. Lord Capulet can be blamed for his stubbornness and insensitivity despite his daughter’s sincere requests not to marry Paris.

The very first scene of the play indicates that “the rivalry between the Capulets and the Montagues is also, for the men (Sampson and Gregory, both of the Capulet household), the impetus for an inward rivalry, an inward pressure to masculine self-assertion that cannot be appeased or concluded.” (Appelbaum, 1997) This is shown in the exchange of vulgar jokes of Sampson and Gregory. They talk about how they would “push Montague’s men from the wall, and thrust his maids to the wall.” Not

In the play, Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, Lord Capulet is most to blame for Juliet’s death because he is verbally abusive and fickle. Lord Capulet shows change throughout the play and proves that his actions have consequences.

Love is something everyone feels, and is different for everyone. It can make people do things that they could never see themselves doing. It impacts everyone in their day to day lives. In Shakespeare’s play, Romeo and Juliet, love is shown in a variety of ways and can make people do crazy things. Love can be friendly, forced, or romantic.

Romeo and Juliet, one of William’s Shakespeare most famous classic works, is a heart-wrenching tale which is composed of passionate love and anger. It is a timeless piece of literature that has lasted to this century. The beautiful story is set in the remote town of Verona. This play recounts a tale of two star-crossed lovers, forbidden to pursue their inescapable love due to the long history of a violent family feud. Passion is strongly represented in Romeo and Juliet’s undying romance. As the story continues, passionate and uncontrolled anger is clearly expressed, fuelled by the noxious hatred of the family’s feud, intensifying as the plot progresses.

Who Is Responsible for the Deaths of Romeo and Juliet? Why do people who mean well end up doing the opposite? William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet demonstrates how good intentions can lead to calamity. The impulsive behaviour of Mercutio, the selfishness of Lord Capulet, the lack of communication and the spontaneous action of Friar Lawrence are causes of Romeo and Juliet’s death. Though these characters all strived to do what they thought was best for the two lovers, their good intentions misguided Romeo and Juliet leading them to a death that could have been avoided.

Capulet is the second character that is responsible for Romeo and Juliet’s death. Capulet is responsible for their deaths because Capulet rushes Juliet’s marriage with Paris. Capulet wasn’t always in a rush with Juliet’s marriage. In Act I Capulet wanted Paris to wait a couple of years to marry Juliet, but Juliet didn’t want to marry Paris. She loved and married Romeo instead. In Act 3, Romeo killed Tybalt and caused Romeo’s banishment, causing Juliet to cry about Romeo’s banishment. Therefore, Capulet thought Juliet was crying about Tybalt, Capulet told Paris, “Things have fall’n out, sir, so unluckily, That we have had had no time to move our daughter; Look you, she loved her kinsman Tybalt dearly… Tis very late, she’ll not come to-night…” (3.5) Capulet doesn’t know about Juliet being married Romeo.

The story of Romeo and Juliet, tragedy no doubt, but this 421 year old play doesn’t have a defined cause, until now. At the end of the novel, star-crossed lovers Romeo and Juliet take their own lives. What drew them to this, who got them in this position, is a hard question. My claim is that it was Juliet’s father Lord Capulet who should be blamed. He pressures Juliet, he’s hasty and sporadic, and is already half of the problem in the beginning.

Though some may simply know romantic love as an intense bond between individuals devoted to one another, its effects in reality are not always as beautiful as the concept. Particularly when it is frowned upon by society and the people involved also swim against the current, the consequences of this type of love can be damaging to others outside the romance. In William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, the actions of the young lovers in their desire to be together not only steer the course of their lives, but also those of their friends, families, and other citizens in the city. The unfortunate series of events following Romeo and Juliet’s choice to reach beyond traditional gender roles, a standard courtship, and their established social networks reveal the importance of complying with these norms. By highlighting the chaos in Verona on the path to Romeo and Juliet’s eventual demise, Shakespeare suggests that intense romantic love that threatens relationships and expectations in the established social order leads to tragedy.

Lord Capulet attempts to make up for what he believes to be mourning over Tybalt that’s caused Juliet to isolate herself in her bedroom by moving the wedding date even closer without consulting her by proclaiming “A Thursday, tell her/ She shall be married to this noble earl.” (III.iv.21-22). This proves that he didn’t care at all about what Juliet thought about getting married, but was concentrated more on making himself and Paris happy with the arrangement. It also shows that he’s a rash thinker and doesn’t dwell on the consequences of his actions, nor how others will see the decisions he makes.

What is love? Is it an object? Is it a feeling? Is it even attainable? Love is everything, it is an object, it is an emotion, and it cannot be bought, stolen, given. Love can only be found. Love is discovered in the most unthinkable places during the most unimaginable times. It can never be predicted who you fall in love with or when you do but all you do know is that you are in love and you would give anything for that person, and for your love to always stay resilient through all other obstacles and distractions. In Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, Montague’s and Capulet’s are know and expected to hate each other until the miracle of love presented its self. Romeo is a Montague and Juliet is a Capulet. They both fell in love when

“My only love, sprung from my only hate!” (A1, S5, L154.) Juliet shows she is upset as she utters these words to the Nurse.

and he says 'the bawdy hand of the dial is now upon the prick of noon'

Is love a special connection or is it something more physical? Throughout many centuries the perspective of love has always revolved around an association that the two people have in common. William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, we see how love is diverse; Romeo talked about Rosaline. He mentioned that he was very depressed and even offered her money to marry him. Today, love is a crave, something that people do not take much time to think on.
