Romeo And Juliet

The nurse, throughout the story, acts like a best friend to juliet, and sometimes a motherly figure in replacement of Lady Capulet. While one of her main purposes is comic relief, Juliet looks up to her and she becomes one of the only people to know of Juliet’s relationship with Romeo. The nurse seems supportive, but her opinions of Romeo seem to change after the news comes of Tybalt’s death, when she says “Romeo can, While Heaven cannot. O’Romeo, Romeo! Who would have thought it? Romeo!” The nurse indirectly states her new distaste for Romeo, making Juliet mad. Juliet feels betrayed by this sudden outburst. Later, when the Capulets try to force Juliet into a marriage with Paris, The nurse reveals that she believes “I think you are happy in this second match, for it excels your first; or if it did not, Your first is dead- or ‘twere as good he were As living here and you no use of him.”(656). This is the second time that Juliet has been betrayed by the nurse, someone who she used to confide in and

People can take Romeo and Juliet’s mistakes and wrong doings, and learn and improve from them. Human nature is a tough idea to ignore when it comes into people’s minds but everyone needs to know how to control it. Romeo and Juliet can teach a lot about human nature and readers can learn a lot from this story, such as the benefits to think about the long

The nurse is very loyal to Juliet as shown in the past quote. The nurse is taking a chance at talking to Romeo for she knows that he is of the house of Montague and god knows the penalty for the interaction between.

Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet discusses the many challenges the ‘star crossed lovers’ face. It is their own deceptive actions that ultimately lead them to their untimely end. However Romeo and Juliet are forced to be deceptive due to their fate and misfortune, the ongoing feud in Verona, and the misleading guidance they receive from others; which also contribute to their deaths. Romeo and Juliet focuses on the theme of love and hate, this theme is interweaved throughout the play.

If Romeo listened to Friar Lawrence’s advice, he might gain the common sense not to rush the situation and use better judgment. Romeo assures Juliet that his love is true, but takes it to an extreme when he goes along with the secret marriage.

Romeo and Juliet can teach us three life lessons. The first lesson is: Don’t make rash decisions, quick decisions only lead to trouble. An example of this is when Romeo wants to kill himself because he is banished from Verona for killing Tybalt. The second lesson is: Think through decisions, we should consider possible repercussions and outcomes. Throughout the play Romeo and Juliet, many characters make decisions that are obviously not thought through, such as when the Friar gives Juliet the vial that contains the drug to put her in a death-like coma.

The Nurse is a good friend of Juliet´s and also played a big role in raising her. The nurse wanted the best for juliet and for her to be happy therefore, she encouraged her to get married. ¨Is your man secret? Did you ne'er hear say, Two may keep counsel, putting one away..¨(2.4, 185) This showed how the nurse knew how dangerous it was for the people to find out they were married yet, she still allowed the marriage and told them to betray their parents and keep it secret. The nurse also sent Romeo letters for Juliet to keep them in contact. ¨There stays a husband to make you a wife. Now comes the wanton blood up in your cheeks.¨(2.5). This shows that the nurse had talked to romeo. Although, Friar is the one who brought the idea of

This proves that The Nurse does not have any pre judgmental thoughts about Romeo, that she believes in him, and is substantial because it solidifies that she is kind not only just to Juliet (Act 3, Scene 3, line 85-173). The Friar actually accompanies her in this scene, acting out the same behavior, attempting to keep Romeo from slipping into a deep depression at the thought of never seeing Juliet again. And When The Nurse is commanded by Lord Capulet to bring forth the news to Juliet that she must marry Paris, though reluctant as she is, she agrees that marrying Paris would be in her best interests, and The Nurse tells Juliet what she must do which is critical because it validates that The Nurse will do anything to keep Juliet from harm even if she does not like it. Although marrying Paris is not something Juliet wants to do, The Nurse knows that that is what is best for her, and Juliet lies and tells her that she will marry him (Act 3, Scene 5, Lines 176-246).

The nurse says how happy she is for Juliet, how she found a guy like Romeo. The Nurse should have tried and stopped this and convinced Romeo that marrying Juliet is not the right thing to do, and if he loves her

Shakespeare's unravels this to the readers with the Nurse and her thoughtful decisions, Mercutio and his anger, and Romeo and his hasty decisions. First and foremost, Shakespeare illustrates how the Nurse makes some very tough choices for Juliet, in the name of “friendship” even though they weren’t hers to make, portraying that love for friendship has a powerful influence that can drive friends to make negative choices. After Romeo’s banishment to Mantua, the Nurse gets second thoughts about Juliet’s future. Feeling a little apprehensive, she is convinced that Paris, a rich man with high status in society who happens to love Juliet, is perhaps a better match for Juliet. The Nurse approaches her and shares her uncertainty about her ongoing relationship with Romeo.

Romeo and Juliet is a romantic tragedy when it comes to love stories. Even though the story is mainly about what some people would do for love, those people will suffer consequences. As Romeo and Juliet are true lovers, they are those people that will be suffering consequences. That is why people should think before they do things. Because Romeo and Juliet had love, death, and is a tragedy, many consequences that needed to be considered were not.

Nurse knows about the love Juliet has for Romeo, allowing her to meet publicly with Romeo and set the time for their marriage. The telling of love between Romeo and Juliet let Nurse help the lovers succeed to be happy together, at least for a while. Finally, As Juliet learns about her to-be marriage to County Paris, she states to

In Act 1 Scene 5, the two lovers, Romeo and Juliet, meet and they instantly fell in love. When Romeo and Juliet had a romantic conversation, Juliet suggested, “Three words, dear Romeo, and good-night indeed./ If that thy bent of love be honourable,/ Thy purpose marriage, send me word to-morrow,” (2.2142-144). Juliet wanted to get married to Romeo and he agreed to it. The young, immature lovers rushed their relationship without seeing the dangers ahead of them. When Romeo went to Friar Laurence’s cell for his blessing, Friar Laurence gave him an essential advice by saying, “Therefore, love moderately; long love doth so;/ Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow” (2.2.14-15). He is telling Romeo to take

Juliet and Romeo’s relationship is forbidden and they will be punished if their parents found out. By sending the Nurse as her messenger, Juliet shows that she trusts the Nurse enough to tell her about Romeo and to not go to her employer, Lady Capulet, and tell her about the affair.

However, their “love” leads them into new problems.Which resulted them into making rash decisions. They could’ve easily avoided these conflicts, by talking to their parents about their marriage, but that is not what they decided to do. Romeo and Juliet’s decisions are never well thought out at all, since all their decisions lead to suicide threats. In addition, both of them are very self-centered becuase, it never occured to them that if they died it could effect other peoples lives terribly. William Shakespeare is showing us, how their decisions will affect themselves in the future. He demonstrates that love should be taken slowly and peacefully. But in Romeo and Juliet’s case love is very fast and unpleasant. William Shakespeare states that, “ As if that name, shot from the deadly level of a gun, Did murder her, as that names cursed hand Murder'd her kinsman. O, tell me Friar, tell me, In what vile part of this anatomy Doth my name lodge? Tell me, that I may sack The hateful mansion” (A.3 s.3 l.102-108). Romeo is very upset in himself because he believes that Juliet is heartbroken, that he had just killed her cousin, Tybalt. Therefore, he threatened Friar Lawrence, suicide by drawing his dagger. This indicates how Shakespeare describes young love as misleading, because Romeo is very impulsive. He is not thinking this through with Friar Lawrence at all. Instead, he
