Relationships In Romeo And Juliet

Even though they have made many immature mistakes (like marrying only after knowing each other less than twenty-four hours), Romeo and Juliet have matured throughout the play because they have both put each other before themselves, they both have been more aware and considerate of other people instead of being vain and inconsiderate, and they both have tried to control their own fates instead of letting fate control them.

Both struggle to keep their relationship a secret from their parents. In Act 1 Scene 5 Juliet 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.” As a result of this collectivist/family idea, it leads to the death of numerous characters including Romeo and Juliet. According to an outside source, individualism comes with personal freedom, which is valued and enjoyed. Also in an individualist society, there’s less shame and judgement. In the world today, people are constantly judged, which lowers self

Romeo and Juliet are both in their teenage years. Just like teenagers in other cultures, they are impulsive and have high hormones due to human nature. Romeo has proven that he experiences these things through his past love for Rosaline and how upset he got over her. Juliet has also shown these things while on the balcony expressing her love for Romeo. Their teenage side effects play into the quickness and extremity of their love through marriage and suicide at such a young age. Due to their impulsivity, they didn’t think ahead they just thought about what they were currently in need of and wanting.

Though some may simply know romantic love as an intense bond between individuals devoted to one another, its effects in reality are not always as beautiful as the concept. Particularly when it is frowned upon by society and the people involved also swim against the current, the consequences of this type of love can be damaging to others outside the romance. In William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, the actions of the young lovers in their desire to be together not only steer the course of their lives, but also those of their friends, families, and other citizens in the city. The unfortunate series of events following Romeo and Juliet’s choice to reach beyond traditional gender roles, a standard courtship, and their established social networks reveal the importance of complying with these norms. By highlighting the chaos in Verona on the path to Romeo and Juliet’s eventual demise, Shakespeare suggests that intense romantic love that threatens relationships and expectations in the established social order leads to tragedy.

The times of Romeo and Juliet could be considered the time of forced marriage. That is the first difference between the two societies. Then, marriage was forced and picked by the father and mother of the bloodline. Parents pick the suitor who will marry their daughter and carry on their bloodline.

Even though there are many similarities to the characters they are many differences to the plot that are not in Romeo and Juliet. For instance, from each household, there is only 1 parent instead of 2 (there is no wife to Lord redbrick, and no husband for lady Blueberry). Another difference to the movie is the theme. In this story, (in the ending) there is a lesson that love conquers all, and of course, having a happily ever after because they end up not dying and getting married with the 2 families (red and blue) joining together in

Romeo and Juliet is a tragic play written by William Shakespeare in the 1300’s; it may not have been happy but it was truthful in telling the reader that true love will prevail no matter what obstacle is thrown its way. Romeo and Juliet wouldn’t be together if they weren’t loyal. These star crossed lovers only have eyes for each other; as shown by their desperate attempts to stay together.

William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet is a well-known tragedy about two teenagers in the 1300’s. During the play, Romeo and Juliet meet and quickly grow fond of each other. They begin to believe that they are truly in love, however, they are mistaken. In reality, Romeo and Juliet are infatuated with each other because of their immaturity. Their immaturity, sprouted from their impulsiveness, naiveness, and greed, leads directly to their demise.

Shakespeare portrays Romeo and Juliet as opposites when it comes to past relationship experience but displays Romeo and Juliet as equally emotionally immature when pitted against emotions as complex as love. Juliet’s tentative stance on love is shown by her initial

From 1595 to 2015, teens have been falling in love, in lust and infatuation then falling straight back out an hour later. Romeo is no exception. Like many teenage boys, he is impulsive, passionate and most of all a serial womaniser. When first we see Romeo, he is ravaged with dejection and suffering in the agony of the heart ache of Rosaline’s rejection. Romeo appears in this scene as a lovesick puppy in need of nurturing. However, after failing to acquire what craved from Rosaline, Romeo sees in Juliet an opportunity; an opportunity to manipulate and exploit her affections and, receiving no resistance, he does. It is not twelve hours later that Romeo presents a proposal of marriage to Juliet, someone whom he had been with only one hour. Interestingly, this marriage proposal was offered subsequent to a more intimate proposition. This particular invitation was seemingly unbecoming of a true gentleman, whose duty, as a man who was supposedly in ‘love’ with Juliet, was to protect and preserve her honour. His words ‘O wilt thou leave me so unsatisfied?’ (2, 2, 125) imply that it was never Romeo’s intentions to honour Juliet’s integrity as a lady and as one who truly loved her, but to steal her virtue in an act of lust without even a promise of marriage. Romeo is fickle, cunning and Machiavellian and used these traits to manipulate

Romeo was older than Juliet so he should’ve been more mature and realized that he liked a new girl every other day and he would never stay loyal to only one girl. Juliet was 13 and Romeo was her first love so he made he realize many things that had never even crossed her

When most people think of teenagers they think of them being irresponsible, or immature, which leads them to not thinking that they can do the right thing. But as parents it is their duty to help control and guide their children into making the right direction. Parents don’t have to sit and hover over their child but they need to help and have a say in what they do, such as dating. When teenagers decide to start dating it can be a big deal and have many responsibilities that go along with it. To help protect their children, I think that parents should have the right to forbid teenagers to date certain people.
