Romeo And Juliet Character Analysis

In the play “Romeo & Juliet” shakespeare portrayed all aspects of love throughout different characters. Each character carries its own meaning of love which is what makes this play unique. Romeo,Nurse, and Tybalt all represent divergent love.The word Love can come in all sorts of ways which is why it is such a diverse word. Love is a powerful term that can be portrayed as deep affection, devotion, and even heartbreak.

In conclusion, Romeo and Juliet are let down by the parental figures in their lives. From the distant parents who care little for their happiness to the Friar and nurse who despite their love and devotion to the young people are ultimately not there for them when they need them most. Had the parental figures done a better job in supporting this young couple perhaps Romeo and Juliet would not be such a tragic love

Emotion is a wild card in life. It almost always influences people to make bad decisions in their life, and causes harm to not only the host, but to many other people around them. In the play Romeo and Juliet, the characters Romeo, Juliet, and Tybalt are all very emotional characters which conclusively lead to all of their deaths, as well as to the deaths of many other people around them. Because of these characters newly drawn emotion, they made decisions that would have been previously considered ludicrous and idiotic. Throughout the exceptional play of Romeo and Juliet, it is ultimately proven that emotion is the enemy when it comes to decision making.

I am heartbroken over the deaths of my master and friend, Romeo, Juliet, who brought Romeo great happiness, and county Paris, who I knew to be a very honorable man. I hope that this court session will bring justice for Romeo, Juliet, and Paris. To help bring this justice, I will truthfully tell you all that I know.

Some may say Capulet wouldn’t have been the only one to protest Romeo and Juliet’s marriage, but he had the final say in Juliet’s life. Lord Capulet, “Send for the county.; Go tell him of this. I’ll have this knot knit up tomorrow morning.”(IV. ii. 21-22) If Lord Capulet never moved up the wedding, there would have been more time for the news to travel to Romeo. Many people argue that he was doing it for right reasons, that his decision was for the better of the family and he did it unintentionally, but it was still his fault for forcing this marriage so suddenly on Juliet. It is Lord Capulets fault because he is too protective over Juliet. Some people may say Juliet could have just stood up to her father and tell him straight forward how she wanted to marry Romeo and not Paris, however, he was just so overbearing and possessive, she was too nervous to come forward and say it. Lord Capulet. “Hang thee, young baggage! Disobedient wretch! I tell thee to a church Thursday or never after look at me in the face.” (III. v. 180-183) By Lord Capulet being so strict with Juliet, moving up the wedding, and being too protective, Juliet was forced to make up an incredibly dangerous plan, leading to the young couple committing suicide.

“A man's greatest pleasure is to defeat his enemies, to drive them before him, to take from them that which they possessed, to see those whom they cherished in tears, to ride their horses, and to hold their wives and daughters in his arms.”, said Genghis Khan, ruler of the Mongol Empire. Shakespeare expands on this idea in his famous novel Romeo and Juliet. Romeo and Juliet tells a tale of two “star crossed lovers” born of rival families whose feud is continued by men battling in the streets, the two lovers try to get married and start a life together which is halted by the violence of men when Mercutio, Romeo’s friend was slain by Tybalt and Tybalt was slain by Romeo. Romeo’s brutality caused for him to be banished from Verona, a plan was

Second, when Juliet was asked about marriage and when she wanted to be wedded, she told her parents she had no interest in marrying, and she thought she was too young. “Marry, that 'marry' is the very theme I came to talk of.—Tell me, daughter Juliet, How stands your disposition to be married? It is an honor that I dream not of.”(1.3.68-71) This is the first time Juliet is asked about marriage, and she clearly makes it known that she is not interested. Out of nowhere, Capulet arranges the marriage of Juliet and Paris on Thursday. Juliet says she does not want to be married to Paris, and says that she will not truly be happy. Lord Capulet does not like what Juliet says, and gets very angered with her. He even goes on to say that she is not welcome under his roof if she doesn’t marry him. Without having any support from her parents, Juliet feels very alone. First, she does not want to get married to Paris, and second, she is in love with a Montague. This is all frowned upon from both families, and the only people Juliet seems to trust are Friar Lawrence, and the Nurse. Unfortunately, Nurse even suggests she marry Paris, so the only people she feels are on her side are Friar Lawrence and Romeo. When Romeo and Juliet decide to take their own lives, the fact that they didn't have many other people besides themselves made suicide more appealing to them.They were desperate to be with each other.

1.Robert "Rocky" Balboa is the title character of the Rocky series. The character was created by Sylvester Stallone, who also portrayed him in all seven Rocky films.

The younger generation is very different from the older generation, as they are open-minded, rash, hasty, optimistic, and are able to see past their household’s feud; compared to the older generation which is stubborn, provincial, imposing, and unable to look past the family conflict. The older generation is made up of the parents of Capulet, Lady Capulet, Friar, and the nurse, while the main characters of the younger generation in the play consists of Romeo, Juliet, and Mercutio. Romeo and Juliet within days of meeting each other at a masquerade party start to give thought into marriage. “Thy purpose marriage, send me word tomorrow, By one that I’ll procure to come to thee” (2.2, 143-146). This quote shows the reader the impulsiveness of the younger generation and how they are eager to be in love. The quote also shows how different the two generation are as the older generation would never love a member from the opposing side. Romeo meets Juliet at her balcony and they reveal their true love eachother. “O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name; Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, And i’ll no longer be a Capulet” (2.2, 33-36). This quote reveals to the readers how much Juliet loves Romeo as she is willing to give up her name to be with him. The quote also shows the reader how Juliet and the younger

The tragic outcome of the play ‘Romeo and Juliet’, by William Shakespeare, is not only the responsibility of the minor characters, but that of many factors collectively working together to result in the deaths of the title characters. The self-absorbed minor characters, the fate that destined Romeo and Juliet to fall in love and die and the lovers’ poor decisions made throughout the play contribute to this devastating ending that cannot be blamed on a single character alone.

“These violent delights have violent ends And in their triumph die, like fire and powder, Which as they kiss consume” (Act 2 Scene 6 Line 9-11). Such a thing can only lead to a tragedy, like the one written in 1595 by William Shakespeare.. Romeo and Juliet follows the life of two star-crossed lovers whose love is forbidden by their two feuding families, the Capulets and the Montagues, in Verona, Italy. The adolescent soulmates defy their families laws and ultimately seal the fate of their death. Many scholars have argued that factors such as fate, the families feud, and other characters, such as the Friar and the Nurse, are the reason for Romeo and Juliet’s death. However, the primary reason for the lamentable end to this tragedy is Romeo and Juliet themselves due to their impulsive nature, secretive ways, and immature hearts.

The tragic deaths of Romeo and Juliet are not the fault of just one person; it is the fault of many. In fact, the blame could be placed on each character – if anyone acted in a different way, there could have been a different ending. Some had a greater impact on their deaths than others however, namely the families and the feud, the Friar Lawrence, Mercutio, Balthasar and Romeo & Juliet themselves. Some may argue for other characters, but the actions of these five ultimately had a more prominent effect on their suicide. One of the factors most to blame is the families’ feud and the restrictions it placed upon the young lovers.

After reading and analyzing the story “Romeo and Juliet” by William Shakespeare, it comes to the conclusion that each character represents an emotion by using two main characters from the story. The emotion anger, can be shown in multiple of scenes but the one who represents it the most is Tybalt Capulet as his anger within is mostly identify by from the Capulet’s angry feud to the Montagues. The emotion honestly, can be shown by a man named Benvolio Montague who not only shows honestly to his formal Montagues but also for the Capulets as he doesn’t want the feud between the two to turn into war. Although these emotions are seen throughout the story and from other characters, these two show more in depth with their corresponding emotions.

Juliet is the daughter of Lord and Lady Capulet. When the play begins, we learn from the nurse that Juliet is soon turning fourteen (“Even or odd, of all the days in the year come Lammas-Eve at night shall she be fourteen”). In Juliet's first meeting with her mother and the nurse, she seems to be an obedient and responsible child. She comes immediately when they call her and answers always respectfully to her mother: "Madam, I am here, / What is your will?" (“Act 1, Scene 3). She is also clever as when her mother asks her what she thinks about marriage, she gives an ambiguous answer by saying what her mother wanted to hear really: “it is an honour I dream not of” (“Act 1, Scene 3). We learn that she is

Today, the name 'Romeo' has come to mean the word 'love' because of his important role in the most famous love story. 'Romeo and Juliet' is a tragedy mainly because of Romeo's character, which is what I will be writing about in this essay. We see Romeo as a sombre, impetuous and immature character in the early part of the play, but many aspects of his character seen in the early part of the play are not consistent as he does change a lot throughout the course of this play.
