Relationship In William Shakespeare's 'Romeo And Juliet'

“Love makes you do crazy things, insane things. Things in a million years you never thought you’d see yourself do.”

In this essay, I will be examining Shakespeare’s treatment of relationships in Romeo and Juliet. As a poet and playwright, he wrote 154 sonnets, 2 long narrative poems and 38 plays, one of his most famous plays being Romeo and Juliet. There are many different types of relationships between characters, and these are essential to the play. The prologue tells us that the play is about two star-crossed lovers from two feuding families, the Montagues and Capulets. There is hatred between these two families, this explains this, ‘Thou villain Capulet’. This quote suggests because of the hate between their families, the lovers are doomed from the start.

The relationship shown in Act 3 Scene 5 between Juliet and Lady Capulet is portrayed as poor. Lady Capulet is shown as a very distant mother, though this is to be expected when there is a Nurse taking care of the child from the early stages of the child’s life.

Star-crossed lovers defined as lovers whose relationship was doomed from the beginning and was said to end in tragedy, by that of William Shakespeare. Shakespeare describes Romeo and Juliet as “star-crossed lovers” because their fate and destiny was said to be set in the stars from the day they met, till the day they died. Although not set in the stars commendable, set in the stars to be doomed for their fate. Romeo and Juliet were apart of two different families feuding with each, obviously their fate wasn’t going to work out, although a friar in the play was trying to conclude the feuding between the families.

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

1. In this Scene, the nurse is shown to have a really close bond with Juliet. She seems to have a better relation than her mother. The nurse lost her daughter “Susan”(1.3 Line 20) as she was the same “age”(1.1 Line 21) as Juliet, which makes the nurse closer to Juliet and treats her as a daughter.

A lot of families have a lot of different ways they raise their children. While some parents are laid back and let children make their own mistakes, a lot of parents want to make sure their child does what they are supposed to do. Dating is a sensitive topic for teenagers, because a lot of what they do and how they act can be influenced by who their with. Letting teenagers make their own choices can be beneficial to them, but can also hurt them. Being around certain bad influences in a teens life can be long-term changes. Parents should have the right to control who their child dates.

The affection between Romeo and Juliet was not genuine, rather it was lustful. This is because Romeo fell in love immediately when he first laid eyes on Juliet. Romeo and Juliet were also too young to find true love, and they only met each other a couple of times. To start off, Romeo was shattered about the fact Rosaline left him. He thought that Rosaline was his “true love”. In act 1 scene 1 of Romeo and Juliet, line 158, Romeo says “Out of her favor, where I am in love”. In other words, Romeo is saying that he loves her but she does not. However, when Romeo saw Juliet at the Capulet party, he instantly fell in love and had erased all other thoughts from his mind. Romeo cherished Juliet’s body and did not bother to look at her personality.

Johnnie Dent Jr. once said, “As parents we have a tendency to overprotect; it's okay to try and show them all positives but we cannot forget that the real world has teeth.” The real world is a tough place and parents knowing their kids are going to be going in it is a hard thing to think about. The author is saying that yes the world is going to be tough and it's ok to show your kids the positives but remember the world isn't all as it's said to be. The parent-teen relationship plays an important role in Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare and for teenagers today. Aspects of this relationship include romance, communication, trust, and romance within teens.

Romeo and Juliet have a lot of people who don’t approve their short-lived relationship, and the majority of the reason why they don’t approve is because of the Capulet and Montague feud and how Romeo is from the side of the Montagues and Juliet is a Capulet. The Montague and Capulet feud is what led to the deaths of Romeo and Juliet and by looking at Capulet’s attitude towards Juliet, and Tybalt's and Mercutio’s deaths, this will be proven.

Relationship is a symbol of bonding with someone who is closest to you. This is shown in the play Romeo and Juliet, the author is William Shakespeare. The relationship between parents and children in Romeo and Juliet is distant because they keep secrets among themself and ask other people for advice.

The play Romeo and Juliet is about a pair of two Star Crossed lovers whose love allows them to end the ongoing hate between their two families. Throughout the play William Shakespeare gives readers a sense of the good and bad outcomes that love can create. The play has many different relationships with the most well known of them being that of Romeo and Juliet, other relationships include the Capulets and Montagues, and Friar Laurence and the people of Verona.

The relationships in Romeo and Juliet constantly change throughout the play at first they are good but as the play goes on and stress in the characters build their relationships break down. One such relationship is that between Romeo and His parents who we were first introduced too at the beginning of the play after the fight scene after discussing about Romeo with Benvolio Lord Montague says “I neither know it nor can learn of him.” This obviously means that Lord Montague and Romeo are not very close as he does not know what troubles Romeo is going through with Rosaline and that even when he asks Romeo about it he will not tell him which shows that Lord Montague must not be very trustworthy or open but instead of more an authoritarian figure

In the book, “Romeo and Juliet”, features two families that hate each other. Both families are on the brink of being killed if they would be in one more massive fight which would result in an end to peace of the streets of Verona. The setting of the story is in the city of Verona and parts of Mantua but most of it is in Verona. The two families have teenagers, Romeo, who is from the family of The Montagues and Juliet, who is from The Capulets. These two teenager have fallen in love with each other but because they’re from different families their relationship would be a disappointment to both families. The book focuses on these two characters and how they grow individually and through their relationship. This relationship impacts the families bringing tragedy and unity.

Tybalt, Benvolio, and the Prince were introduced. On the streets, Sampson and Gregory were trash talking to the Montagues. It ends up in this big fight and the Prince shows up and tells them that if they fight again, then they would be killed.
