Progression In Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet

Juliet realizes that Romeo her “only love sprung” is her only enemy. She thinks about the conflicts between the two feuding families. “My love sprung from my only hate, too early seen unknown, and known too late.” (A1, S5, 137-138). In this quote it’s states that the two feuding families Capulets and Montagues have a bad relationship. Juliet being a Capulet finds out her love Romeo, is a Montague. This is an awful start to Juliet’s love. Her only love is the only rival of her families. Juliet’s internal conflict is that she’s thinking about how her family will react to her love for Romeo

In the play Romeo and Juliet, the parents expect hatred between both families. Growing up, the Montagues were always taught to hate the Capulets and the Capulets were always taught to hate the Montagues. The kids were always told that the other family is a bad family and that they would never

From “the fatal loins” (Prologue.5) of Lord and Lady Capulet, protagonist Juliet is born in Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet. Early on in the play Juliet is portrayed as a very dutiful daughter to her family. After her encounter with Romeo however, she begins a rapid transformation from a naive young girl into a woman. By the end of the play Juliet’s transformation evolves her from a dutiful daughter, into a faithful wife that is willing to desert her family in the name of love.

Lord Capulet is very concerned that his daughter is too young to be married. He believes that she is still naive and has not adequately experienced enough in the world to be a great bride. For this reason, Lord Capulet denied Paris’ request in marriage. This demonstrates that Lord Capulet was protective of his daughter, and acts accordingly for the sake of her well-being. Juliet affirms her father’s decision, and in this way, allowing her to be obedient and loving to him. Lord Capulet’s responsible actions please Juliet to become obedient.

Though Juliet is probably one of the worst fictional characters to look up to, she does have important and respectable traits. In Shakespeare’s famous novel and play, Romeo and Juliet, many of the characters undergo major development. The novel starts off as a comedy, with Romeo and Juliet getting married, but ends as a tragedy, with both main characters dying. The tragedy of the story often makes the characters show their true selves and ultimately face constant development. Though Juliet is often interpreted as a weak and ingenuous character, many of her actions prove her to be mature, determined, and independent.

In Romeo and Juliet hate s a big component of the play. This hatred is used in the many fights that end up with someone being killed. “To strike him dead I hold not a sin.” In this quote Tybalt is wanting to kill Romeo because he is a Montague and Tybalt is a Capulet. This means that there is a lot of conflict. “ ’Tis he that villain Romeo.” Tybalt calls Romeo a villain because of the conflict between the two parties. Hatred is a very big part of the story of Romeo and Juliet. Hatred is a big part of Romeo and Juliet being

Juliet’s internal conflicts are evident throughout the play, especially when she says “My only love sprung from my only hate! Too early seen unknown, and known too late! Prodigious birth of love it is to me, that I must love a loathed enemy”. This quote comes from the very first act, right after she had met and kissed Romeo at the Capulet banquet. She had fallen in love with him, and had asked the Nurse

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

The next transformation is Juliet's defiance of her parent's wishes for her to marry Paris. The context of this scene is crucially important, for a woman to defy a man, much less a father in the Elizabethan Age, is preposterous. Although Juliet is only fourteen her development into a woman is beginning as her submissive nature leaves her. In her conversation with her mother, Juliet boldly makes puns to her undying love for Romeo. For example she says, ."..no man like he doth grieve my heart," (III.v. 175) in reference to Romeo, however her mother believes that Romeo makes her sad for murdering Tybalt. Even in the face of her monstrous and powerful father she holds fast to her heart's desire. Again, this time using Capulet for the vehicle, Juliet's death is foreshadowed, as Capulet tells Juliet to "Hang, beg, starve, die in the streets, For, by my soul, I'll ne'er acknowledge thee" (III.v.194-195).

Romeo constantly profess his love for Juliet to his friends; saying he only has eyes for one. Romeo even tells The Friar about his undying love for Juliet, The Friar warns romeo about love; knowing Romeos past he doesn’t want the couple to be together if it is not true love. “Therefore love moderately; Long love doth so ; too swift as tardy as too slow” (Act 2 Scene 6 Line 10 William Shakespeare). Romeo convinces the Friar that this is his first actual love and it will be his last love.

Juliet is rebelling against her planned marriage with Paris, and when she does this she is rebelling against her mother’s life and choice to marry her father. Also, Lady Capulet is a respected lady who follows her husband’s rules and demands. Another reason that Lady Capulet presented her own daughter could be because she is expected to obey her husband in any situation, “ Talk not to me, for I’ll not speak a word.” . Lady Capulet has become resentful to her daughter, for reasons unknown, but no mother should disregard their daughter, especially when she threatens to take her own

Juliet is expected to be obedient and subservient as she is a women in the Elizabethan Era. She often displays these qualities throughout the play, For example when her mother inquires about Juliet's’ thoughts on marriage, Juliet obediently replies with “I'll look to like .... But no more will I endart my eye than your consent gives strength to make fly”. This demonstrates the fact that women in the Elizabethan era were very inferior to their parents. As the play goes on, Juliet's character changes into a more rebellious character. An example of when she becomes rebellious is when she is disobedient to Lord Capulet when he arranges a marriage for Paris and Juliet. “Not proud you have, but thankful that you have”. Her relationship with the nurse proves that the nurse was the one that took care of her during her childhood instead of Lady Capulet. She is looked down upon by her own parents as they don't even want to take care of her. This conveys the fact that the Capulets were wealthy and of course that in the Elizabethan Era you would force women to work for you and take care of your own

In the Shakespeare poem "Romeo and Juliet", each character shows a various amount of emotions towards each other and others. Romeo so called falls in love at first sight with Juliet and Juliet believes it's meant to be since it's her first real boyfriend. However, Juliet is in love with Romeo more than he is in love with Juliet.

Juliet is the daughter of Lord and Lady Capulet. When the play begins, we learn from the nurse that Juliet is soon turning fourteen (“Even or odd, of all the days in the year come Lammas-Eve at night shall she be fourteen”). In Juliet's first meeting with her mother and the nurse, she seems to be an obedient and responsible child. She comes immediately when they call her and answers always respectfully to her mother: "Madam, I am here, / What is your will?" (“Act 1, Scene 3). She is also clever as when her mother asks her what she thinks about marriage, she gives an ambiguous answer by saying what her mother wanted to hear really: “it is an honour I dream not of” (“Act 1, Scene 3). We learn that she is

The transformation from innocent ro responsible seemed to come easy for juliet. In Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, Juliet Capulet is portrayed as a quiet, obedient little girl with daddy issues. We soon find out that juliet's confidence and self respect make her mature beyond her years. Juliets parents both want her to marry Paris because he is rich and handsome, but when juliet falls in love with romeo, she is immediately prepared to defy her parents orders and marry Romeo in secret. In act III, Lord Capulet threatens juliet with disinheritance and public humiliation if she refuses to marry Paris.
