Psychological Analysis Of Romeo And Juliet

Juliet’s tragic pursuit to continue her passion-filled young love challenges the rigid, prevailing values of Verona’s adult world. While the tragic ending does not offer the defiance of

In order to understand Romeo and Juliet, it must be remembered that these two heralds of love were little more than children. In Renaissance England, the category of adolescence was not recognized (Cox 391). A person went from childhood to adulthood without the liberty that is allowed to modern adolescents. Nowadays, the teenage years are accepted as a turbulent period in which defiance of authority and assertion of "self" are not only allowed, but also expected. Adults explain away even the most inexplicable behavior of teenagers as "just a phase". However, as this was not done in Shakespeare’s England, both Romeo and Juliet were expected to take on the roles of adults, and were chastised for their refusal to enter in the adult world as their parents would have them. Juliet is first presented to the audience as a young woman who has come to marrying age: “Well, think of marriage now; younger than you, / Here in Verona, ladies of esteem, / Are made already mothers…Thus then in brief: / The valiant Paris seeks you for his love”(1.3.69-74). Juliet is presented with the idea of marrying Paris with

Juliet is not unlike the typical young women constantly struggling to find happiness and acceptance from those who are closest to her. Young Juliet must confront the harsh reality that exists between her and those who profess to be her friends and family, which is they failed to support her, love her, and lift her up with she needed it most. In the timeless book, “Romeo & Juliet” William Shakespeare writes a moving story about the betrayal, disappointment, love, and eventual death of Romeo and Juliet. No reader can truly appreciate and understand the level of Juliet’s struggles without first understanding the roles the Lord Capulet, Friar Lawrence and Romeo, their betrayal and their role in her faithful decision.

“A man's greatest pleasure is to defeat his enemies, to drive them before him, to take from them that which they possessed, to see those whom they cherished in tears, to ride their horses, and to hold their wives and daughters in his arms.”, said Genghis Khan, ruler of the Mongol Empire. Shakespeare expands on this idea in his famous novel Romeo and Juliet. Romeo and Juliet tells a tale of two “star crossed lovers” born of rival families whose feud is continued by men battling in the streets, the two lovers try to get married and start a life together which is halted by the violence of men when Mercutio, Romeo’s friend was slain by Tybalt and Tybalt was slain by Romeo. Romeo’s brutality caused for him to be banished from Verona, a plan was

Romeo and Juliet, written by William Shakespear, brings many themes to life; love and fate and comedy and tragedy being among the most common and reoccurring. This essay will be focusing on the real tragedy of one of the most famous plays ever written. Romeo and Juliet are not the only ones to lose something very dear to them; everyone suffered, both emotionally and physically. The couple's union was intended to bring the feuding families together instead, their love for each other only brought their own death and the deaths of others. But it is not just physical loss that is explored in the play. Both Romeo and Juliet lose their innocence. Juliet had never experienced maternal love, something that can never be replaced.

Shakespeare uses love to convey how people don’t take responsibility for their actions. When Mercutio dies Romeo has a lack of maturity and this quote depicts that. “This gentleman, the Prince's near ally, My very friend, hath got this mortal hurt In my behalf. My reputation stained With Tybalt’s slander--Tybalt, that an hour Hath been my cousin! O sweet Juliet, Thy beauty hath made me effeminate And in my temper softened valor’s steel.” (3.1.115-120) In this quote Romeo is saying his thought out loud which is a soliloquy. By showing that Romeo is alone Shakespeare shows that the security of the marriage is very important and also shows how he does not take the blame for Mercutio's death. Lack of maturity or responsibility causes people to not take responsibility in their actions. Romeo after Mercutio dies was overly ragged and all in his mind at this point was to kill Tybalt. “Thou wretched boy that didst consort him here Shalt with him hence. This shall determine that. Romeo, away be gone! The citizens are up, and Tybalt slain. Stand not amazed. The Prince will doom thee death If thou art taken. Hence, be gone, away.” (3.1.135-141) During this quote Tybalt calls romeo a wretched boy, this is an epithet. By Tybalt calling Romeo a wretched boy this is emphasising how much he hates or strongly dislikes him. Using vulgar language against other people shows lack of maturity and how people don’t take responsibility for their actions. In this book juliet also makes rash decisions that show her lack of maturity. "If all else fail, myself have power to die" (3.5.244) Juliet said this when she was being forced to marry Paris. In this quote Juliet may not know it but she is using the literary device pathos which helps her deliver the message of sadness and how irrational this decision is. So people who make irrational and quick decisions could be because they have a lack of maturity and don’t take responsibility for their actions. People could say they love someone but it could all be out of lust because of lack of maturity. “Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight! / For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night" (I.5.52-53). Romeo is bouncing from one girl to another based on looks which shows he has lack of

Psychological Lenses can be viewed in Act III with how Shakespeare creates psychological tension by associating young love with a suicidal impulse. The definition of Psychological is of, affecting, or arising in the mind; related to the mental and emotional state of a person, meaning how something is related to the mind of a person. It’very ironic how love is being used with hate, violence, and death, in the play, with the being total opposites. But in Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare uses the overwhelming emotions of young love to resulting in self destruction. For our main characters, this is the only response they have for their undying love for each other, because of this Romeo and Juliet joke around with the idea of death throughout the play,

The tale of the Titanic is one of the most famous shipwreck stories in history. It still boggles people’s minds how such a mighty and unsinkable ship hit an iceberg and sunk only three days into her maiden voyage. Some historians believed it was a flaw in the building of the ship, while others believe it was a flaw in the boiler rooms due to them catching fire and damaging the ship beforehand. Everyone can agree that many things went wrong that led to the deaths of 1,500 innocent lives that fateful April night. In literature, when a character has a major flaw it can also lead to disastrous events like the sinking of the Titanic. Specifically in the play of Romeo and Juliet, the characters Friar Laurence and Tybalt both have major flaws that affect the outcome of the play. Friar Laurence's hypocrisy and Tybalt’s lack of control over his anger and his inability to tame it are some of their flaws that helped lead to the death of Romeo and Juliet.

The level 3 individual question that seemed outstanding for an analysis paper is “How far would people go for their true love without deliberating the fact that Romeo and Juliet come from families that despise each other?” Just look at what the Capulets and Montagues have executed in the Shakespearean book and play. All that they have done were sharing blows with one another, but nobody knows how the fight had started/when it will end. Romeo and Juliet are two fact-based lovers, in which Romeo and Juliet’s names really mean “passionate, mutual love” If I recall from Shakespearean text, “Two households ( Montagues and Capulets ) both alike in dignity, In Fair Verona, where we lay our scene, From Ancient Grudge, break to new mutiny, Where civil

Juliet’s relationship with her parents changes during the course of the play, she is shy, obedient and behaves in a way that is typical of a wealthy daughter of the time. By the end of the play she is disobedient and becomes very independent.

Juliet's masculinity is prominent throughout the play, from the beginning of the relationship to the end of her life. Romeo’s femininity is more difficult to distinguish, it does add another level to the character that many readers seem to ignore. The comparison of sacrifices and complexity of their personalities allows the audience to enjoy the multi sided spectrum of roles each partner plays. The prominence of gender roles in Romeo and Juliet is a rewarding subject to research and creates a better understanding of one of the most famous love stories of all

After reading and analyzing the story “Romeo and Juliet” by William Shakespeare, it comes to the conclusion that each character represents an emotion by using two main characters from the story. The emotion anger, can be shown in multiple of scenes but the one who represents it the most is Tybalt Capulet as his anger within is mostly identify by from the Capulet’s angry feud to the Montagues. The emotion honestly, can be shown by a man named Benvolio Montague who not only shows honestly to his formal Montagues but also for the Capulets as he doesn’t want the feud between the two to turn into war. Although these emotions are seen throughout the story and from other characters, these two show more in depth with their corresponding emotions.
