Loyalty To Romeo And Juliet

First, together they decide to get married and they Friar Lawrence marry them. “And there she shall at Friar Lawrence’ cell/ Be shriv’d and married….” (2.4.165-166). Secondly, Romeo then kills Tybalt in an act of vengeance, which causes him to get banished from Verona and furthermore Juliet and cries out “Ha, banishment? be merciful, say ‘death’:” (3.3.12). Thirdly, Juliet decides to take a sleeping potion so she does not have to marry Paris. “O bid me leap, rather than marry Paris,/ From off the battlements of any tower,” (4.1.77-78). Finally, Romeo arrives at the tomb that causes him to kill Paris and find a “dead” Juliet. He then believes “That unsubstantial Death is amorous,” (5.3.103), and he takes the poison and kills himself. If Juliet had woken up a few minutes earlier he would not be dead along with Paris. However she does and stabs herself since one cannot live while the other is

Throughout the play, “The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet”, many different types of love are shown, however, I believe loyal, parental love, and romantic love are the most popular and influential types of love throughout the story. The Capulets and Montagues show loyalty for their house, the friar shows parental love for Romeo as the nurse shows parental love for Juliet, and Romeo and Juliet show romantic love for each other. These three types of love, loyal love, parental love, and romantic love, show many similarities to one another as they do differences.

‘Romeo and Juliet' was written during a period when Shakespeare had found the strength of his writing, it is believed that it was written around 1595 and he would have been about 26 years old when he wrote it. The play is a widely known tragedy concerning the fate of two young "star-cross'd lovers". It is one of the most famous of Shakespeare's plays and one of his earliest theatrical triumphs.

When Juliet finds out that Tybalt has been killed and Romeo is in exile, for killing Tybalt, Juliet feels both passionate about Romeo and disappointed in both Romeo and herself, which reveal her inner struggle. In Act 3, Juliet’s Nurse comes back with this news that Tybalt is dead and that Romeo is such an awful person for killing him. Juliet fights back at the Nurse, and herself, for speaking bad about Romeo. She claims, ““Shall I speak ill of him that is my husband? Ah, poor my lord, what tongue shall smooth thy name, When I, thy three hours' wife, have mangled it? But wherefore, villain, didst thou kill my cousin? That villain cousin would have killed my husband.” (3.2.99-101). This shows that Juliet is passionate about Romeo, because first of all, she says that she was wrong to say bad things about her husband.

Either way, their love was bound to end in a tragic love story. Romeo and Juliet never seemed to be at the right place at the right time. Tybalt didn’t know Romeo and Juliet were married, so he tried to kill Romeo for trying to stop the fight between him and Mercutio. After Romeo’s banishment, Lord Capulet pushed up Juliet’s wedding so she could be married to Paris. Juliet was so upset that her true love had been banished, she considered of ending her life because she could never be with him again. Friar Lawrence said, “take this vial, mix its contents with liquor and drink that night with no one in your room. When they come in to wake you on Thursday morning for the wedding, your body will be lifeless. You will be in a deathlike state for forty - two hours. When your family takes you to the Capulet tomb Romeo will be there to take Mantua. You will have to remain brave and not become scared. Then you will be able to live happily ever after with your true love Romeo.” Friar explained to Juliet how her and Romeo could be together without anyone knowing. All of the secrets between them lead their fates. They never told their parents what they had done, and it ended lives in a heartbreaking mess.

Loyalty plays a big part in Romeo and Juliet. Ties of loyalty are woven throughout the play, binding certain characters together. The main theme is the feuding families of Romeo and Juliet that holds an “ancient grudge” against each other: the Montague’s and the Capulet’s. Romeo’s family and friends despise Juliet’s family, the Capulet’s, and as the play progresses you will find them defending each other in the face of an enemy. Romeo and Juliet have to defy their parent’s expressive wish not to see each other, and accept the consequences of their forbidden love. They question the fact that there’s no solid fact that the two family’s hate each other: merely time has blown the feuding out of proportion.

Do not apologize for your absence, dear friend, as I have come to terms with your family’s busy schedule. Either way, I would like to be the first to congratulate you on such a momentous occasion, and fully support your unification with Romeo. Never has it crossed my mind that you would ever engage in such acts of love, being one to always detest the idea of a life-long commitment. Nevertheless, I feel the need to remind you of maintaining modesty and your composure, to ensure you don’t succumb to the unwanted pain that love can bring forth. Those initial feelings of love can often drive those inflicted to engage in irrational acts, which can be quite dangerous in your circumstances. Although I lack sufficient knowledge of who this Romeo

When Romeo and Juliet comes up in school curriculum any observer can see students eagerly signing up for roles, puzzling over Juliet’s eagerness to marry a stranger, or rehearsing their own unique interpretation of the play. In these moments students are released from the usual monotonous class period and allowed to enjoy a timeless piece of literature. While some may claim that Shakespeare is outdated or difficult to read, the positivities of including it in ninth grade curriculum far outweigh any struggles of comprehension.

Often with death, there are those who place blame. Authors often write with tragedy, love, or death. William Shakespeare wrote a lot of poems and plays. The tragedy of Romeo and Juliet is about two families that are in a feud but there are also two people from the opposite families that are in love. The two families are the Capulets and the Montagues. In his play, Shakespeare uses the themes of nobility and loyalty to create a great romantic tragedy.

In the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, the central and most important line which contributes to understanding the play is “Deny thy father and refuse thy name” (Shakespeare II, ii, 34), because of how it shows the clear conflict of the two families, the impact this has on the levels of loyalty between Romeo and Juliet, and finally the greater outcome which this has on both families in the end regarding the ‘turning of backs’. Primarily, this quote demonstrates the clear conflict between the families, and also how this is the main reason that Romeo and Juliet may not be together. This line demonstrates that Romeo and Juliet’s love already comes from a rough place in life, and that it can only proceed to grow when both Romeo and

In real life, everyone is faced with a decision to pursue what they desire or choosing to conform. In Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare explains through the protagonist Romeo, that you should always pursue what you want most, but this backfires when Romeo fought and murdered Tybalt for ending the life of his friend Mercutio, also when he decides that Juliet Is the one for him, and when the minute Romeo finds out his wife was dead and kills himself. Even though Romeo should have done the right thing and conform to the princes rules , he looked passed that and killed Tybalt in revenge. “Now, Tybalt, take the “villain” back again That late thou gavest me; for Mercutio's soul” (Act 3, Scene 1, line 124-25) Romeo fights for Mercutio’s soul, and he doesn't care if his actions results in tybalt dying, or both of them. This resulted in Romeo being banished from Verona by the Prince.

Anything can be harmful, even fatal, with a high enough dosage. This very concept can be applied to feelings of pride. As one of the seven deadly sins, pride becomes destructive if not under control. Accordingly, Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet illustrates that one can have an excess of pride, as it leads to a careless nature and narcissism.

On page 781 of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, Juliet respectfully addresses her mother “Madam, I am here. What is your will?”. With this line she is both answering Lady Capulet and showing her willingness to serve her mother. This leads to problems because if Juliet was not perfectly obedient in the beginning, her parents would not have been so outraged when she told them she did not want to marry Paris, and could have been understanding and respectful of her decision. Another example of this is when Juliet answers her mother about loving

Juliet says that if Romeo was found at her house he will die (2.2.64-65). Whether the feud is taken seriously or not by the parents, Juliet believes that they should remain a secret so they can continue to see each other. They believe the feud warps the decisions of their parents, and if the two are caught talking one could be hurt, causing them to keep their love secret. Romeo and Juliet got married in secret (2.6.35-37). The two did not want their love to be known for fear that the other would be hurt, and eventually causing Juliet to fake her death so she wouldn't have to marry Paris.

Juliet didn't want to marry Paris, she already married Romeo, so she went to Friar Laurence and he gave her a potion. He explained this potion as something that can put you to sleep for 42 hours. The plan was to agree to marry Paris then, on the night before the wedding, she would drink the potion that will make her appear to be dead, then she will be laid in the Capulet tomb, and the friar will tell to Romeo in Mantua to help him find her when she wakes up. Romeo and Juliet both go to Friar Laurence at different times during the play, making him not tell anyone else, then he performs their secret marriage. When Romeo is banished and Juliet agrees to marry Paris, she panics and tells Friar Lawrence's so she can get advice. He comes up with
