Romeo And Juliet And Paris Relationship

He jumps right in, and tells Balthasar to get the horses ready at once. Romeo and Juliet’s lack of maturity also causes them to love one another without a limit. They are too immature to realize that the feeling of love should not conquer common sense and reasoning. They love each other too such an extreme, that they are inseparable; and once separated, they are willing to go up to any extent to be loyal to each other and their love. This idea is strongly emphasized when Juliet is willing to kill herself rather than marry Paris which proves that she is loyal to her love. Romeo, in return, kills himself after he sees Juliet dead, which shows that he too is loyal to his love. Romeo and Juliet are both young and immature when they fall in love with each other, and their immaturity results in them not understanding that love has its limits. The young lovers love to an extreme neglecting love’s limits, which leads to them not taking mature decisions and steps, but rather rashly and abruptly on impulse to honor their love for each other. Romeo and Juliet feel such a burden to honor their love for each other that they end up committing suicide.

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.

In William Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, Paris is Juliet’s suitor and although she did not love him, her father and him had already made the wedding date which in the end lead to their deaths. Paris could not wait to make Juliet his wife and combine his wealth and her beauty him stating,”My lord, I would that Thursday were to-morrow.”(3.4.2088). A close relative of the prince he is not involved in the Capulet-Montague feud ; as he has royal blood he is of higher status which makes him valuable to Lord Capulet since it will bring their status over the Montagues. Once Capulet has promised him he can marry Juliet, he behaves very presumptuous toward her, acting as if they are already married. His death was because of Juliet, The Nurse, and his visiting of the tomb.

Despite being self- centered and loving Juliet, Count Paris and Romeo have a major difference. When

Love, in 'Romeo and Juliet' has its own importance in the theme of inner struggle between the two protagonists, Romeo and Juliet. Juliet is torn between staying loyal to her family and therefore obeying her parents to marry Paris or staying married to an enemy, Romeo, “My husband lives, that Tybalt has slain; / And Tybalt's dad, that would have slain my husband: / All this is comfort; wherefore weep I then?” (3:2). On the other hand, Romeo has his struggles too. He juggles between the idea of banishment from Verona and not being able to see his beloved Juliet again and that of death, “Ha, banishment? Be merciful, say 'death'.” (3:3). The secret marriage between Romeo and Juliet is also one of the outcomes due to love. It is because of love that Juliet risked her parents' disapproval to not marry Paris and Romeo risked the danger of being killed by Capulet's kinsmen to go to see her. Yet again, this shows the inner struggle of Romeo and Juliet.

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.

Lord Capulet and Paris have some similar opinions of Juliet's marriage and so do Romeo and Friar which also influenced the end of the story negatively. Capulet thinks that Juliet should be married to Paris and Paris agrees with him. “But woo her, gentle Paris, get her heart” (1.2.16) and Paris says “Younger than she are happy mothers made” (1.2.12). This means that Capulet is encouraging Paris to get Juliet’s heart and Paris influences him by telling him younger woman than her are married and happy mothers. This determines that the two of them want Juliet to get married to Paris because Capulet tells

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, Lord Capulet wants Juliet to decide if she wants Paris. Then later, Capulet wants cheer Juliet up, after her cousin Tybalt dies. He decides to arrange a marriage between her and Paris. Juliet is actually more upset over her husband, Romeo, for being banished. Later, Lady Capulet breaks the news to Juliet about her marriage to Paris and Juliet is very unhappy. Lady Capulet tells Lord Capulet about her reaction and he gets very angry. Capulet gets into a big argument with Juliet. He threatens Juliet that she will marry Paris or die on the streets ( Act III, Scene V, Lines 160 - 195). Juliet’s parents and even her servant, who helped marry Romeo, really want her to marry Paris. Juliet, becoming desperate to stop her marriage, goes to Friar Lawrence and they make up a risky plan. This plan ultimately leads to her and Romeo’s

When analysing Romeo and Juliet it becomes apparent that while the two main characters’ lives were said to be predetermined by fate, it is Romeo's deep love for Juliet that acts as the catalyst that sets his fate into motion. Romeo was bound to love juliet but it was Romeo’s deep love for juliet that gets Romeo in to trouble. Additionally, Romeo gets to caught up in the one and only love of his life and when all the sudden it was gone he decided to kill himself. Although Romeo stated, “with love's light wings did I o’erperch these walls”( 2.2.73-75). This would prove that know matter what happens romeo will always go after Juliet/love Juliet. Ultimately, it is Romeo who is to romantic therefor creating the fate for himself and Juliet.

As Atticus once said, “It seems to me that love could be labeled poison, and we’d drink it anyway”. In Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, they love each other so much that they are willing to go great distances for each other, even if that distance is death. Lord and Lady Capulet are uneducated about the feud and have no proper explanation on why it is occuring, yet have no inch of forgiveness in their bodies to stop it. Juliet’s parents are very distant with her and if they might have showed they care, that could have prevented her death. If they perhaps asked Juliet instead of forcing her to marry Paris, she wouldn’t have been upset for the reason she has already gave her vows to Romeo. Juliet’s parents accuse her of grieving over Tybalt,

This scene not only reinforces Juliet's submissive attitude towards her mother, but also highlights Juliet’s goal, and that is to please her parents. Because while Juliet thinks of marriage as an honour which she hasn't dreamt of, she instead of rejecting her parents suggestion wholly, she instead says that she will “look to like” Paris, further emphasizing Juliet's wish to please her parents by saying what her parents want her to do. Throughout all the encounters we see Juliet in, up until this point, it is discernible that Juliet is trying to be a devoted child. this is most clearly highlighted by the quote “ what is your will?” Juliet is showing loyalty to her mother by prioritizing her mother’s “will”. Additionally, Juliet's goal is also highlighted by the line “ no more... endart mine eye// ….your consent gives strength to make it fly” Juliet is again trying to please her mother by saying that I will love only as much as your permission allows. fortifying the fact that Juliet’s goal is to please her parents, because, instead of Juliet giving a simple yes or no answer, Juliet claims that if she does love Paris, she won't allow the relationship to gain momentum without her mother's approval. In conclusion, Shakespeare suggests that, Juliet’s loyalty towards her parents, as well as the authority the hold influences the manner in which she speaks to her parents, as well as

Rosaline is aware of Romeos ‘feelings’ towards her and spurns his advances, yet Romeo takes this rejection as encouragement and continues to attempt to woo her. These are strong features of courtly love. Paris treats his ‘love’ in a different manner, but the same features are there. He goes to meet Lord Capulet and arranges to marry Juliet, although he has never met her.

A good relationship starts with two people. In order to have a good strong relationship, you need two people that are willing to be the best person they can be. If something bad happens, both people must have forgiveness and loyalty to keep the relationship strong. In Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet, both Romeo and Juliet would do anything to be with each other even if it was forbidden. To make a relationship work, both people must be attracted to each other and have love for each other and be willing to do whatever it takes to be with each other.
