My Plot Change: Romeo decides to stay in Verona with Juliet and they agree to sneak away together and live as peasants. However, Romeo has been caught in Juliet’s room
“Stop! Intruder!”
“Hurry, my love, we must escape away,” Romeo whispers as the servant bursts in. He unravels the rope ladder and lets Juliet climb down.
“Romeo, how will you get down? No one will be there to support you.”
“I will jump Juliet, and let the wings of love carry me to the ground.” Juliet reaches the ground and Romeo jumps off, landing in a rose bush. He comes out limping, with scratches across his body. He tries to put weight on his left leg, and then he collapses.
“Run away Juliet, and save yourself. I will hold them off for you.” Juliet runs off into the

He is chained to the wall, and has lost lots of weight.
“If you will not tell me, then I will kill you,” Lord Capulet paced back and forth. He had not slept for days, his skin had turned pale, and he was sweating.
“This club will be your death, the arrow to the rabbit, the spear to the lion, the shark to the dolphin. This is your final chance, so tell me now or accept your fate.”
Romeo looked up, strength in his eye. “You may break my body, but you will never break my love.” At this Lord Capulet was pushed over the edge. He raged, exclaiming, “You dare defy me in my own home, in my own dungeon, amidst my weapons of war and death? I am the lion and you are the lamb, I the dragon and you the peasant, I Zeus and you a mere mortal. Those words will be your last, and you will be forgotten.” As Lord Capulet picks up his sword and approaches Romeo, Juliet enters the house from upstairs. She rushes downstairs screaming “Father wait, please wait, I am here and okay, please just-”
It was too late. Romeo was dead, and Lord Capulet picked his head up by the hair. Juliet, fell on her knees, sobbing, that any hope of another love or another life was
Capulet will go to extreme measures to do what he thinks is right for his daughter. Capulet thinks that it is inevitable for Juliet to marry Paris and goes as far as saying “I’ll tell you what: get to church on Thursday, or never look me in the face again. Don’t say anything! Don’t reply! Don’t answer me back! My fingers are itching! Wife, we thought we were very lucky that God gave us this only child – but now I realize that this one is one too many and we’ve been cursed in having her! To blazes with her, the worthless creature!” (185). In his rant he fails to realize that this is truly not what Juliet wants and that this is not what’s best for her. The only thing in the way of Juliet marring Paris is that she secretly loves Romeo and is waiting for the day that she reunites with him and they live happily ever after. This rant by Lord Capulet turns Juliet against her father and shows the readers that Lord Capulet is not the loving father he once was. Later in the play, Juliet is found dead because of Lord Capulet’s insensitivity and ignorance towards her
Already married to Romeo, Juliet defies her parents for the first time when her mother tells her of her future. Finding out what Juliet thinks, Lord Capulet does not take the refusal well and tells Juliet that if she does not marry Paris, he will leave her to hang, beg, starve, and die in the streets (III, V, 192-196). Out of options after the frightful confrontation, Juliet runs to Friar Lawrence. After the confrontation with her father and begs him to give her a solution to her problem, or else she will make a drastic decision to kill herself, Juliet pleads, “Tell me not, friar, that thou hearest of this unless thou tell me how I may prevent it. If, in thy wisdom, thou canst give no help, Do thou but call my resolution wise, And with this knife, I'll help it presently.”
The nurse returns, sensing Juliet’s earnestness, and purposely messes with her, telling Juliet “How [her] bones ache” and “what a jaunt [she] has”. Later in the scene, Romeo and Juliet marry, despite only knowing each other for 2 days at the time, leading to the idea that they may just be in lust rather than in true love.
This is Capulet's response for Juliet saying no. He gives her consequences if she doesn't go through with the marriage. Capulet believed that his daughter was disobeying his orders.
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.
The Montagues had requested to speak with The Capulets to resolve the entire feud. The two families meet in the centre of the square, like a battle about to take place however it was the opposite. “Lord and Lady Capulet.” The Montagues address the Capulets. “We meet again.” Lady Montague and Capulet lift up their long, heavy dresses to reveal their shoes. “I’ve requested this meeting to discuss our past...problems, if you will.” Lady Capulet slowly nods her head in agreement. “I believe that the tragic, sudden and confusing death of our children should be a huge wake up call for us. A wake up call to stop being irrational and end the whole feud.” The Friar walks up to Lady Montague. “It wasn’t really a confusing death if…” Lady Montague raises her index finger in his face to shush him. What would The Capulets
"Your lady mother is coming to your chamber" Here we see the nurse trying to warn Juliet that her mother is about to walk into her room. This immediately makes Romeo try and escape from the Capulet house via the famous balcony. Only moments after his escape, Lady Capulet arrives. She finds Juliet
Now that Juliet has met Romeo, she is lovestruck. After the party, Juliet is on the balcony, dreaming about Romeo. Little does she know that Romeo is hiding in the bushes. As he hides, Juliet speaks of him, “O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name; Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, And I’ll no longer be a
He threatens to disown Juliet if she refuses Paris; ‘hang, beg, starve, die in the streets,/For, by my soul I’ll ne’er acknowledge thee,’ before he finally storms out. Tearfully distraught, Juliet begs her mother to: ‘delay this marriage for a month, a week…’, but Lady Capulet remains unmoved, declaring: ‘I have done with thee.’
The night before her wedding day, Juliet waits for Romeo with excitement. The Nurse enters the room with the rope ladder that Romeo is to use to climb into Juliet’s room, but throws it down tiredly and sighs “ Ah well a day! He’s dead, he’s dead…we are undone lady”. The Nurse goes on and on, until Juliet thinks that she is talking about Romeo. After she has calmed down, she tells Juliet that Romeo killed Tybalt in a street fight, and tells that Juliet that no man can be trusted.
He is very upset about Rosaline, the woman he loves. While his friends try and make him feel better, Romeo goes as far as to say how he “...[has] a soul of lead, [that] stakes [him] to the ground where [he] cannot move” showing just how heartbroken he is. However, when he meets Juliet, his mood immediately changes. He is now in love with her, and would rather die if he couldn’t be with her. Romeo goes to Friar and asks him if he will marry them.
Juliet would sneak out of her bed and would go out to the balcony to go see romeo but
After the ball and after Romeo lays his eyes on Juliet, Romeo decides that he cannot possibly return home. He decides to climb the wall that surrounds the Capulet property and search for Juliet. Mercutio and Benvolio try to find Romeo to no avail. Mercutio mocks Romeos ridiculous and fickle obsession with love, "Nay, I'll conjure too.
This shows that Juliet is desperately trying to tell her father what she wants but men didn't really care about women's opinions. Lord Capulet replies with more threats and saying that if Juliet doesn't go to marry Paris next Thursday he will disown her.
"deny thy father and refuse thy name; or, if thou will not, but be sworn my love, and i'll no longer be a capulet."
