Parents Involvement In Romeo And Juliet

Parental expectations are basically the way parents expect their kids to live their lives. The definition of expectation is “the act of expecting; to have a prospect of future good or profit”. Parents often expect their kids to be perfect. By this I mean make all the right decisions, do everything the way the parents want it to be done, and live up to their parents standards. I don’t always agree with a lot of today’s parental expectations because some parents try to benefit themselves instead of the kids. In this essay, I will describe parental expectations from today and from the play Romeo and Juliet. I will link some of the examples of expectations to movies, or real life scenarios.

The Relationship Between Parents And Children In William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet The tragedy of 'Romeo and Juliet' is the result of feuding between two noble families in Verona/Italy. Romeo was born into the Montague household, who were the more controlled, quieter family. They did not 'enjoy' the fights therefore tried to avoid the feuds.

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.

Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy play written by Shakespeare. It is set in Verona, Italy during the 13th century, two noble families are feuding and two young lovers, one from each family fall in love.

Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare has many conflicts concerning the adults and children of the play. The fault of the numerous conflicts throughout Romeo and Juliet is clearly to blame of the parents and adult figures in the play, clearly shown through the adults forcing the children into unideal circumstances, and the adults attempting to make the problems that were created better. The children although histrionic, were prompted towards bad decisions and convinced towards erroneous plans.

Relationships between teenagers and their parents are rarely boring. Since teenagers begin to think and act independently, conflict arises between them more frequently. This is not just a modern occurrence; in William Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, Juliet and her parents have very different points of view. In the play, she marries a man who is a member of a rival family without discussing it with her parents, which eventually leads to her demise because of the conflict that arises. She does not have much interaction with her parents throughout the play, but the miniscule amount shows the differing of opinions immensely. Juliet’s limited interactions with her parents in the play show that she has a rebellious relationship

The third and final reason why parents should not choose their child’s marriage partner is because it may cause an abusive relationship between the two married people or between family members. In Romeo and Juliet we discover relationships that start to become

Juliet was brought up to dislike the Montagues without proper reason why. She cannot love Romeo, for his name is the enemy. Juliet brings awareness to this subject as she states, “My only love sprung from my only hate! . . . Prodigious birth of love it is to me that I must love a loathed enemy” (Shakespeare 84). Juliet knows she is not to love or be in contact with a Montague. She still continues to brawl for Romeo, even when she knows her parents will be furious if they found out. Had there not been a feud, there would be no need for Romeo and Juliet to hide their love. In the end of the book the two families resolve their differences, however it is still too late to save the young lovers. As the parents of both kids say, “For I will ray* her statue in pure gold . . . As rich shall Romeo’s by his lady’s lie, poor sacrifices of our enmity!” (Shakespeare 302). This quote brings about that Romeo and Juliet’s parents accept responsibility, as they prove the feud is the reason why their kids are dead. Overall, as Juliet’s parents believe holding a feud wouldn’t resolve in any trouble, they are held accountable for Romeo and Juliet’s

In the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare there is an apparent theme that with strict parenting issues arise between the children and their parents as they get older and more rebellious. Juliet’s parents are forcing her to marry Paris but she doesn't want to be his bride and she already has a husband, Romeo, who her family hates yet she loves because of this Juliet rebels against her parents and a conflict arises between Juliet and her father, Juliet refuses to marry Paris, the county man her father has arranged for her. One source of the conflict is Capulet himself, he is like a tyrant ordering Juliet to marry Paris even though she has refused the offer: “But fettle your fine joints ‘gainst Thursday next / To go with Paris to Saint

It’s hard to blame someone for juliet's death when almost everyone was at fault, but there are characters whose actions were more brutal than others. While Count Paris is often considered the mastermind behind her death, many may view Tybalt as the one who started it all. In the play Romeo & Juliet by William Shakespeare one can see that Juliet's parents were the ones at fault for forcing the marriage and putting pressure on her.

“We’ve called it Family Safety. We are calling it Family Safety rather than Parental Control because people don’t like that term. Both parent and definitely child don’t like the idea of controlling, blocking, or spying on them or others” (written by unknown). Most parents think to have control of your child is the way parenting works. Some of these parents find that their child rebels against their “very specific” instructions. Between parent and child, their will always be a aspect of control and rebellion but this is because it could feel like the parent doesn’t trust the kid, the kid disagrees with the judgement call, and it has been proven to happen through surveys. In Romeo and Juliet’s time, when parents tried to use authority to control

When people hear of Romeo and Juliet they think about a tragic love story of two young people who died because they could not bear being without one another, but how did that tragedy come about? Romeo and Juliet meet at a party one night and immediately fall in love. They soon find out they are from families that greatly despise one another and know that they should not be together but they are already too far fallen for each other. Romeo is soon exiled and so they decide to run away together because Juliet does not want to be without him and that plan ends up going downhill. Romeo and Juliet's parents were bad influences on their kids because of their refusal to end a long lasting feud, teaching hate towards the opposing family and pushing their kids to do things against their will.

What would one believe a conflict between parents and their children can lead to? A conflict like this can be solved, or it can turn into something greater. The conflict between Juliet and her parents leads to Juliet and Romeo’s death. William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet demonstrates how the conflict between parents and their children can lead to a great tragedy.

When Juliet, a Capulet, and Romeo, a Montague fall in love Juliet decides she cannot tell her parents about it, only her Nurse.
