Romeo And Juliet Character Analysis

Juliet is Lord Capulet’s only daughter and only child, making him really strict about who she marries. At first, Lord Capulet gave Juliet the choice of whether she wanted to marry Paris or not. Lord Capulet thought that Paris would be a great man for his only daughter to marry because of his social status, his wealth, and his relation to the Prince. Later in the play, without regard to Juliet’s feelings Lord Capulet forced Juliet to marry Paris and when Juliet disagreed, he yelled at her,“Hang thee, young baggage! Disobedient wretch!/ I tell thee what: get thee to church o' Thursday,/Or never after look me in the face” (3.5 160-162). Lord Capulet hates the Montagues, Juliet could not have told him that she was already married to his enemy’s son. Lord Capulet in this quote gave Juliet an ultimatum: either she marries Paris or he disowns her. Because Lord Capulet said this and made the decision that Juliet will marry Paris, Juliet went to the Friar to find a solution. The solution that ended up with her in the tomb where she killed herself. Tybalt was Lord Capulet’s nephew, his death made Lord Capulet emotional and caused his outburst at Juliet. Before being in grief, Lord Capulet thought that Juliet was too young to be married. Nonetheless his emotions and rash decisions led to his daughter’s death. After Tybalt’s death and Romeo’s banishment, Juliet was extremely depressed and would not stop crying. Thinking that it was only because of Tybalt’s death that Juliet is so upset, Lord Capulet changed the wedding date: “I’ll have this knot knit up [Wednesday] morning” (4.2 21-22). Friar Lawrence scheduled the plan to happen on Thursday, but since the wedding was moved up a day, it was ruined. Romeo did not receive the letter explaining the plan in time because there was not enough time to deliver it. Instead, Romeo was told that Juliet was dead from Balthasar. Because Romeo could not live without

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

Juliet is not unlike the typical young women constantly struggling to find happiness and acceptance from those who are closest to her. Young Juliet must confront the harsh reality that exists between her and those who profess to be her friends and family, which is they failed to support her, love her, and lift her up with she needed it most. In the timeless book, “Romeo & Juliet” William Shakespeare writes a moving story about the betrayal, disappointment, love, and eventual death of Romeo and Juliet. No reader can truly appreciate and understand the level of Juliet’s struggles without first understanding the roles the Lord Capulet, Friar Lawrence and Romeo, their betrayal and their role in her faithful decision.

Fate is defined as, ‘the development of events outside a person’s control, regarded as predetermined by a supernatural power’. In the time in which ‘Romeo and Juliet’ was written, many people were strong believers of fate and it was a common belief in society. William Shakespeare was a famous poet who is recognised for his powerful writing and contribution to the English language. One of William Shakespeare’s highly recognised plays is ‘Romeo and Juliet’ written in the late 1500’s. It is a play about two star-crossed lovers alongside fate who by their death end the feud between the Montagues and the Capulets. In ‘Romeo and Juliet’, Friar Laurence is not to blame for the tragic events which occurs in the play due to the fact that other

“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

Juliet's marriage to Paris was arranged and not a result of true love. Paris confessed his love to her parents, who then shared that information with her. When they told her she didn't like it. Juliet told Capulet she didn't want to marry Paris, but Capulet told her that if she doesn't marry Paris her family will disown her. In act 4 Capulet tells Juliet "...get thee to the church o' Thursday, or never after look me in the face...". Juliet was being forced to get married. The Capulet's started planning the wedding despite how Juliet felt. As result Juliet faked her death, which eventually lead to her

Capulet, the father of the victim Juliet, played a role in Romeo and Juliet’s death because of his hatred for Romeo’s family, which made it necessary for the lovers to keep their relationship a secret and that kept them apart. Capulet arranges for Paris to marry his already married daughter and causes Juliet to take desperate measures as he wrongly threatens to end his relationship with her if she decides to disobey. Lady Capulet led the two to their deaths as she pressures Juliet in marrying Paris whom she doesn’t love and when she turns her back on Juliet at a desperate time like a bad mother because Juliet opposes the idea of the marriage. Lady Capulet also expresses her hatred and death wishes upon Romeo, emphasizing the need for secrecy in their relationship, and prohibiting Juliet to be with Romeo. Friar Lawrence starts the chain of problems as he decides to marry Romeo and Juliet, though their relationship was doomed to not last because of their families conflict. He provides Juliet with a potion and a dysfunctioning plan, which later did not work and instead ended their lives. He made the bad decision of leaving Juliet alone in the tomb after her husband's death, allowing her to freely take her own life. In the real world, there are many people that play a big role in our lives, whether it’s family or friends that are with us every day. It is important to be cautious

Following Romeo’s banishment and the death of Juliet’s cousin Tybalt, Lord Capulet decided to marry Juliet of to Paris, a man she never loved.

She is threatened to lose her own home and family just because of not marrying Paris. This leads to her killing herself because if she can’t be with the one she loves and still live at home she thinks why live at all.Lord Capulet moved up the wedding which doesn’t work well with Friar Laurence’s plan.For instance (3.4.33) “Well go get you gone. A Thursday be it then.”This quote is saying that Lord Capulet

Romeo and Juliet, written by William Shakespear, brings many themes to life; love and fate and comedy and tragedy being among the most common and reoccurring. This essay will be focusing on the real tragedy of one of the most famous plays ever written.

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

Stated by Friar Lawrence, ‘Wherefore the infectious pestilence did reign. Seal'd up the doors, and would not let us forth; So that my speed to Mantua there was stay'd.’ (5.3.10-12) In Shakespeare's tragedy Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare uses the niche of fate to transition the story into the next scene.

In William Shakespeare’s classic play, Romeo and Juliet, the audience is immediately introduced to the influential, feuding families known as the Montagues and the Capulets. The long standing feud between these houses has created much division in the town of Verona throughout the years. Although the love that Romeo and Juliet find, could have potentially created peace between them, ultimately the long-standing hatred is too powerful a force and leads to much destruction. The unfortunate clash of two hot headed, young men from each family, Romeo and Tybalt, creates a chain reaction of disordered events that eventually escalates into a disastrous end for the two young lovers. Hatred surrounds all characters, is all consuming, and ultimately drives the plot resulting in immense disorder and tragedy.
