The play is a tragedy because there are obstacles that Romeo and Juliet have to faced: Romeo is a Montague while Juliet is a Capulet, Juliet needed to marry Paris, and Romeo was banished by Prince. First, the first and the most important obstacle in this play is that Romeo is a Montague while Juliet is a Capulet. “His name is Romeo, and a Montague, The only son of your great enemy” (1.5.151-152). This is when Romeo attended the Capulet feast and he met Juliet. Their loves are love at first sight, but they could not marry right away because of their families grudges. Second, Romeo was banished by the Prince from killing Tybalt. “And for that offence Immediately we do exile him hence” (3.1.196-197). Because Romeo killed Tybalt, the Capulet did
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.
Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy. Two young persons, Romeo and Juliet are the main characters. Romeo and Juliet are attracted to each other by an accustomed feast of the Capulets, and they marry. However, there is a deep-rooted feud between Romeo and Juliet’s families, the house of Montague and the house of Capulet. Juliet also has a problem with a marriage to Paris which Capulet pushes her for.
This play is about a boy named Romeo and girl named Juliet. Their family are mortal enemies so that means that they are always fighting with one another. At a Capulet party Romeo and Juliet meet for the first time not knowing who each other are, until later that night that they are enemies. They begin to fall in love with each other and get married after meeting for one night. Then the drama gets to their head and they kill themselves. In Romeo and Juliet Capulet’s and Montague’s, Friar Lawrence, and Balthasar are responsible for the tragic deaths of Romeo and Juliet.
“There are no rewards or punishments---only consequences”, this was said by writer, professor, and priest William Ralph Inge. Romeo and Juliet has great lessons everyone can learn from. The two main characters seem to be a little lost in their love for each other in this long twisted play where nothing seems to go right. The story shows that secrets lead to more problems and that lying just brings more trouble to a person. William Shakespeare wrote this play, named The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, which tells of a love story between Romeo and Juliet and how it affected family, friends, and enemies.
The problem is that Romeo is a Montague and Juliet is a capulet so they secretly marry each other, but the happiness is short-lived when a fight breaks out between the families forcing the Prince of Verona to banish Romeo. After Romeo is banished only bad things happen.
In Romeo and Juliet, adversity plays a large role in keeping the two star-crossed lovers apart, and after a short taboo romance, it is evident that their story ends in tragedy. The feud between their two families, both fate and destiny, encouragement from non-family members, and the deaths of the young couple, ultimately make this love story a tragedy.
Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet ends in tragedy, because of some of Romeo and Juliet’s faults. Romeo and Juliet obviously rush into things. They do not listen to the advice of Friar Lawrence and end up paying the ultimate price. They also ignore the obvious factors that prohibit Romeo and Juliet from ever being happy together. Romeo and Juliet are also very immature and are groomed for social disaster. Romeo and Juliet are also not in love, but in lust. The combination of impatience, immaturity, and ignoring other’s advice leads to the tragedy of these two “star-crossed lovers.”
Juliet is a character with many traits, but one that is not talked about often is her determination. She has many ways she shows this trait, but most people don’t talk about any of them. Besides that Juliet is a young 13 year old girl. She has long brown hair and usually wears many long dresses. She doesn’t have a big outlook on life besides her parents wanting her to get married.
In the story, Romeo and Juliet, Juliet has a tragic flaw. A tragedy is a drama or literary work in which the main character is brought to ruins or suffers extreme sorrow, especially as a consequence of a tragic flaw, moral weakness, or inability to cope with unfavorable circumstances. Throughout the story, the couple struggles to be together because of an age-long feud between the two families. The tragic flaw makes Juliet suffer extreme sorrow by Romeo being banished, the risky plan, and almost having to marry someone else. After a fight in town, Romeo was banished.
In the famous play Romeo and Juliet, masterfully written by William Shakespeare, there is a great deal to learn about one of the main characters, Juliet. The complexity of Juliet’s character increases in Act 4, Scene 1. At this point in the play, Lord Capulet has just told Juliet that she must marry Paris; if she refuses to marry him, she will be kicked out onto the streets. Eager to find a solution, Juliet goes to Friar Lawrence's cell. Once she arrives, she and the friar have an intense conversation about her options.
A tragedy in literature is a tragic hero who falls due to a tragic flaw. Romeo’s immature personality has a huge effect on the end of the play. Romeo never thought before he acted, causing things to go wrong. For instance, before he killed Tybalt, he was angry in the moment not thinking about what would happen. When Romeo met Juliet he was in love with another girl. From here, his judgements eventually lead to his death. His tragic flaw is his unripe personality. Romeo enters this risky relationship as a young and carefree man, who doesn’t realize what could happen during this. The play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare fits perfectly with the definition of a tragedy, beginning with two hopeless teens and ending in their death by their own violation.
Romeo and Juliet, a classic play by William Shakespeare, is known to many as a tragedy. But what makes this play tragic? Audiences favor this story because of the emotions evoked from a tale of love that sees two young souls torn apart. However, Romeo and Juliet when under my own definition of tragedy, does not resemble a tragic play. While the death of Mercutio and the deaths of Romeo and Juliet seem tragic, the story does not show one failing when trying to reach their full potential, instead the audience sees a forbidden love and death as a result, which does not demonstrate tragedy. Instead, Romeo and Juliet face flaws from within their families and society, forcing them to stay apart due to conflict. While both Romeo and Juliet try to reach the goal of being together and fail, the flaws of others cause the conflict, not the flaws of themselves. My definition surrounds the idea that the flaws of oneself leads to his or her demise, meaning that the play misses a key characteristic of the definition of tragedy. Both characters seem to die a “tragic death,” however, their death can only be considered sad or upsetting, especially to the audience. This play instead consists of somber scenes that show aspects of a tragedy, but not enough to place this play in a tragic category in the classic definition or in my own definition because the flaws of the main characters do not cause the fall of the characters as they try to reach their full potential. If a character who fell as a
Deep in the mind of famous play writer William Shakespeare lies, the brilliant story of Romeo and Juliet, the story that not only captivates and thrills reader's minds but offers insight on how a flawed relationship can end in a tragedy. Unfortunately, due to sin all relationships, including that of Romeo and Juliet's have their ups and downs. Today the most commonly known flawed relationship is the relationship between a teenager and parent. Perhaps this is because of opposing ideas or lack of communication, but nevertheless the true weakness will always fall back to sin. Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet offers exceptional examples of relational hardships which include rebellion, communication, and parental love, issues all modern teen and parent's relationship face.
