Relationship Between Romeo And Juliet

Though Juliet may be young, she seems to be wiser than Romeo. In the balcony scene, Romeo swears his love by the moon, but Juliet says not to swear at all because “It is too rash, too unadvised, too sudden” (Rom.II.2.118). Romeo’s immature haste in committing his love to Juliet contrasts her carefulness and want of slowly developing a relationship. Instead of diving into something so suddenly, she thinks about it first, even if she is also madly in love. Another golden moment of Juliet’s maturity is when she is being forced to marry Paris, she does not complain or whine like the way Romeo did in act 3 scene 3. She replies to the arrangement by saying, “Proud can I never be of what I hate, but thankful even for hate that is meant love” (Rom.III.5.147-148). She politely declines the good intention with gratitude like a mature adult, but says she cannot be happy with what she is forced to do. When all the adult figures abandon her, she becomes independent and takes control of her own life saying, “If all else fail, myself have power to die” (Rom.III.5.243). Juliet’s last acts of love towards the end of the story, shows her maturity of being able to put others before herself as well as making her own decisions. She only thought of Romeo, even in her times of fear, when she said, “Romeo…I drink to thee” (Rom.IV.3.59). Because Juliet overcame all of these obstacles with her maturity, she proves to be a

In spite of Lady Capulet and Lord Capulet wishing the best for their daughter, they make extreme life choices for Juliet against her will. As when Lady Capulet insists that Juliet marries Paris,” Marry my child, early next Thursday morn” (Act 3 Scene 5 Line 113). It is important to realize Juliet does not wish to marry Paris since she has already said her vows to another, Romeo. So, since Lady Capulet will not listen to Juliet’s declination, Juliet looks to father for support. Alternatively, Lord Capulet threatens to disown Juliet,” Graze where you will, you shall not house with me” (Act 3 Scene 5 Line190). Lord Capulet’s action demoralizes Juliet leaving her with no one to

Relationship is described as an emotional or other connection between people. The book Of Mice and Men and “Romeo and Juliet” both have similar relationships. These relationships are built around different circumstances and situations. George and Lennie only have each other which creates a better relationship. Romeo and Juliet had large families to support and love them. They grew up surrounded by strong families. When they met violence between the families forced them to choose family or each other. How does one have a strong enough bond after two days to turn away from a family whose has been supporting them throughout their lives? A solid relationship is not created in two days, but built through good and bad life experiences. Even though Romeo and Juliet have a relationship of love and forgiveness, George and Lennie still have the stronger

At first, quick-witted Juliet manages to fool her parents with subtle punning. She deceives them into thinking that she is complying with their wishes when, in actual fact, Juliet is defying them in an unobvious manner. Such an example is when Lady Capulet enters Juliet’s chamber, questioning the reason for her sorrow and tears. Juliet answers, “Indeed I shall be satisfied/ With Romeo till I behold him – dead -/ Is my poor heart so for a kinsman vexed.” (III.v.97-99) This disobedience and disloyalty towards her parents escalates when her father gives her instructions to wed Paris. At this point, Juliet cannot stand her outrage and displays outright disobedience, instantly retorting “He shall not make me there a joyful bride!” (III.v.21) She then seeks help from Friar Lawrence, begging him to help her avoid marrying Paris. “And I will do it without fear or doubt,/ To live an unstained wife to my sweet love.” (IV.i.89-90) As the story plays out, Juliet learns to be bolder and more defiant towards her parents, showing that she is a strong individual with her own views and mindsets. She even resorts to the most desperate of measures in order to go against her parents’

It is introduced to the audience at the beginning of the play that Romeo is in love with Rosaline, claiming that she is the love of his life. However, Romeo’s love for Rosaline has shifted from his mind at the first sight of Juliet. In Act 1 Scene 5, Romeo asks, “what lady’s that which doth enrich the hand of yonder knight?” This line can be translated into, “who is that lovely lady in the hands of that lucky man?” The line shows the moody and immature side of Romeo as he is more interested in a woman’s beauty than the conflict between the warring families. This unhealthy trait of Romeo leads to his heartrending ending, and consequently, contributing to his downfall as a tragic hero of the play. In addition to this, many audiences may think that Romeo is impulsive due to his frequent change of love. In the final scene, Romeo says, “thus with a kiss I die”. This simply means Romeo is ending his life with a kiss. The line has presented the haste of acting too fast as Romeo allowed love and despair to dominate him and committed suicide after believing his love, Juliet, has died. Overall, it is clear that Romeo’s character flaws add immensely to the play and is the result of his ultimate

Lord Capulet is the father to Juliet and Uncle to Tybalt. Lord Capulet has been looking for a suitable groom for his young Juliet. He had chosen Count Paris. Knowing that Juliet knew nothing of Count paris, he decided to throw a party so that they may get to know each other. Lord Capulet told Paris that his daughter was to young and that he would marry Juliet in two years. :Act 1 Scene 1( My child is yet a stranger to the world. She hath not seen the change of fourteen years. Let two summers wither in their pride Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride.) With the death Tybalt, Lord Capulet noticed that his daughter was filled with sadness and decide to rush the wedding. But what he did not know is that young Juliet was filled with grief because of Romeo’s banishment. Joyfully, Capulet comes to tell Juliet the good news. Juliet’s rebellious self tells his father that if she is to marry anyone, it will be Romeo. Angered by this Lord Capulet yells at his daughter, wishing her dead. Lady Capulet wasn’t happy with this either. Act three Scene Five( If you be mine, I’ll give you to my friend. If not, hang, beg, starve, die on the streets, for my soul, I’ll never do thee good.) If Juliet had not been threatened by her furious father, she wouldn't have had thought of ending her

The relationship shared between Romeo and Juliet is a romantic relationship; William Shakespeare presents this love fluently in the book with multiple gestures and conversations. Night plays an important role in Romeo and Juliet’s relationship, as it protects and conceals the relationship they contain. Romeo feels protected and concealed as “The darkness will hide me from them” (Act 2, Scene 2, 75). Juliet often calls for the night to arrive “bring in cloudy night immediately” (act 3, scene 2, 4) as then the lovers can meet in secrecy. Juliet compares Romeo as her day in night “Come, night.

However, Juliet starts to show strength and intelligence that can be interpreted as a sort of passive resistance that at the end of the play ends her life. In Act II, scene iv, Juliet goes against the wishes of her father and marries Romeo. The morning after their wedding night Juliet learns that her father has moved the day of her wedding with Paris to Thursday in an attempt to make Juliet happy and to try and get her to stop mourning her cousin Tybault’s death. (Romeo killed Tybault the night of their wedding in his friend Mercutio’s honor.) Juliet is appalled and rejects this by saying, “I will not marry yet; and when I do, I swear /

In Act One, Romeo’s personality could be described as dramatic. The prince leaves after breaking up a fight, and Benvolio, Lady Montague, and Montague are left to talk. Lady Montague asks where Romeo is, and Benvolio and Montague answer. In Montague’s response is the quote “And private in his chamber pens himself, / Shuts up his windows, locks fair daylight out, / And makes himself an artificial night.” (I.i.141-143).

Juliet has just put a wrench in her and her father's relationship by not accepting the

In Act 1, Scene 1, through lines 150 to 251, Shakespeare explores the theme of love by introducing Romeo, a character with a cliché personality, in the dialogue between Romeo and Benvolio. An example of this is the use of military language by Romeo, when talking about Rosaline, which manages to convey a sense of insecurity and danger about love, and in turn, creates a sort of ridiculous perception of the characters' love for the audience. Romeo says, "siege of loving terms,/ Nor bide th' encounter of assailing eyes," (1.1.204-205) this shows that Romeo uses cliché language - violent and degrading to another person to refer to them as wild, which was commonly used in marriages during Shakespeare's times - to refer to his loved one, just like

Even though it may be shown that George and Lennie have a stronger relationship, some may disagree and say becuase of Romeo and juliet's love for eachother they have a better relationship. It could be said that Romeo and Juliet are in love with each other and they would do anything for eachother to make a good relationship. But, Romeo and juliet will never be close to each other because of the fued that the two families have together. As stated in the book Romeo says  ”(aside) Is she a Capulet?O dear account!

This is a clear depiction of a change in Juliet’s allegiance - from her own family to Romeo himself. Juliet does not care about her family’s best wishes or opinions, and is willing to deceive them in order to be with Romeo. Moreover, her further defiance towards her parents’ best wishes is evident when Lord Capulet demands for Juliet to marry Paris. Instead of obediently agreeing to do so, as she was depicted to do towards the beginning of the play, Juliet states, “if all else fail, myself have power to die”. This depicts that Juliet is willing to kill herself, if it means that she does not have to marry Paris. This is in clear defiance to her parents’ wishes, further demonstrating her change in attitude. Thus, it is evident that throughout the course of the play, Juliet changes significantly.

Juliet and Lord Capulet at first have a caring relationship but soon after Tybalt’s death this changes. It was planned that she would marry Paris when she was fifteen but after her cousin’s death, the marriage is brought forward. In Shakespearean times, it is not unusual for girls to have marriages arranged by their parents and also to

When Romeo and Juliet first meet at the feast, they instantly fall in love. Juliet’s sudden attraction to Romeo allows her to believe that true love does exist. Juliet says to Romeo, “For saints have hands that pilgrims’ hands do touch, and palm to palm is holy palmer’s kiss.” (Shakespeare, 1.5.101-102). Juliet’s sudden attraction for Romeo sparks the idead she has for finding true love. When she finally sees it, she begins to have experience with love and wants to be the most faithful towards Romeo, and will do anything that satisfies him so that she does not lose him. Romantic love is an effect that can expand the knowledge of many young and impressionable people, however if complications occur, this enroots confusion and heartbreak. When Romeo kills Tybalt to avenge Mercutio’s death, it sets the climax of the play. When Juliet hears about Romeo’s actions she felt hatred towards him, yet still admitted that she loves him. She says, “Beautiful tryant, fiend angelical, Dove-feathered raven, wolvish ravening lamb, despised substance of divinest show! Just opposite to what thou justly seem’st.” (Shakespeare, 3.2.78-81). Juliet uses oxymoron’s to explain her confusion. She describes Romeo as beautiful on the outside but evil on the inside. She demonstrates that even though Romeo had killed her cousin, she still sees him as a beautiful person, therefore she is staying loyal to him even
