Romeo And Juliet Monologue

Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet, two star-crossed lovers, will do anything to show their deep affection for each other. Since they are from two different families, who happen to be enemies, they can be punished for expressing their love for one another. Unfortunately, their passion sparks many outrages. Due to Father Capulet’s feud with the Montague family, Romeo and Juliet's love life results in death.

    The play Romeo and Juliet  is a romantic tragedy written by William Shakespeare about two star-crossed lovers from feuding families who die at the end of the story. Romeo and Juliet meet at Capulet party and instantly fall in love. With the help of the local friar, Friar Lawrence, and Juliet’s nurse, they get married after knowing each other only a day, without their parents’ consent. Shortly after the marriage, Romeo is banished for fighting and killing Juliet’s cousin, Tybalt, forcing him to leave their city of Verona. At the same time, Juliet's father, Lord Capulet, tells her she has to marry Paris, a cousin to the Prince, or else he will kick her out of their home. Friar Lawrence comes up with a plan in which Juliet will take a sleeping potion which makes her look dead for 42 hours and then Romeo will come to Verona to get her and take her away with him to a city a day's ride away. Romeo does not receive the message that Juliet really isn't dead and believes her death to be true. He gets poison from a poor apothecary and dies beside Juliet in the Capulet tomb. Juliet wakes up to find Romeo dead beside her, along with Friar Lawrence who came to try and stop Romeo. Juliet refuses to leave and kills herself to be with him. After their deaths, the Prince declares that, “Some shall be pardoned, and some punished” (Shakespeare ???).  The characters in the play that should be pardoned are Friar Lawrence, Lord Montague, and the Nurse.

After Juliet and Friar Lawrence make their plan to fake Juliet's death, she tells her father she will agree to marry Paris. Ecstatic with her agreement, her father responds, “ Send for the county go tell him of this. I’ll have this knot knit up tomorrow morning” ( 4.2. 23-24). Capulet has just changed the date of the wedding. This leaves a very short amount of time to inform Romeo on Friar and Juliet’s plan. Also, in Act 5 Juliet has already taken the sleeping potion. Everyone thinks she is dead including Romeo. Romeo arrives at Juliet’s tomb, then after seeing her, drinks the poison to kill himself. When Juliet awakens, Friar Lawrence is there and she discovers Romeo’s dead body. Juliet grabs a dagger and says, “ Yea, noise? Then I’ll be brief. O happy dagger! This is thy sheath; there rust, and let me die” (5.3. 169-170). This reveals that timing has just caused these two deaths. If Romeo would have known about the plan, if Friar would have arrived to the tomb earlier, or if Juliet would have awakened the two would still be alive. Two star-crossed lovers committed suicide because of terrible timing of

Juliet has came to the conclusion that since Romeo is her husband, even though he killed her own cousin, that she should always have his back. Also, Juliet even threatens her Nurse, someone who she has trusted and has been with since birth. She threatened to have sores over her tongue. Juliet has had this passion, out of nowhere. She just met Romeo recently, and decides to be passionate about him because she thinks that marrying him will help the feud between the Montagues and Capulets and that Romeo is attractive, so therefore he is a good man. In fact, this isn’t true. Romeo has killed a Capulet over Juliet, Tybalt! Juliet’s passion about Romeo has driven her to do many crazy things. Lastly, Juliet feels the need to defend herself in the end. Juliet says that it is a good thing that Romeo killed Tybalt because Tybalt would have killed Romeo. She thinks it’s better to have Romeo alive than her own

“Yea, noise? Then I’ll be brief. O happy dagger, this is thy sheet; there rust and let me die.” (A3, S3, 169-171). In this quote it states when Romeo drank the potion, Juliet shortly after stabbing herself with a dagger. Juliet is showing her love for Romeo because she thought her love Romeo has died. Juliet’s love for Romeo is all so consuming that she cannot face a life without him. Her only option, as she sees it, is to end her own life and join him for eternity. She, being only thirteen did not think things through and ultimately physically killed herself because of all the negative thoughts and emotions she got from seeing her one love, Romeo dead. When everything ends up like this where the protagonist’s kill themselves or die in the end, it is called a tragedy. “Romeo and Juliet” may be a love tale, but it is ultimately, and unfortunately a very sad

“Then I’ll brief. [Finding Romeo’s dagger] O, happy dagger. This is thy sheath. [Stabs herself] there rust, and let me die.[Dies].” (Act 5 scene 3 page 82). Throughout, Romeo and Juliet take their relationship a little too fast, and they tend to make bad decisions. In the play Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare, he ignites the idea that people should have more patience than haste. He exposes this by, having Romeo kill himself for Juliet and having Juliet kill herself for Romeo dying for her.

Romeo and Juliet’s relationship is secretive throughout the story and it takes a turn for the worse when Tybalt and his friends confronts Benvolio romeo’s cousin and Mercutio Romeo’s friend whom are both Montagues. They get into an argument when Romeo joins his friends. Tybalt then tries to fight Romeo but Romeo does not want to because he is now his relative although Tybalt does not know this. This result in a sword duel between Mercutio and Tybalt resulting in the death of Mercutio. Romeo is enraged by this and kills Tybalt. Prince Escalus the prince of Verona is informed of this by Benvolio who tries to communicate it was Tybalt’s fault but Lady Capulet who is Tybalt’s aunt says he is lying to protect the Montagues. Just like that Romeo is banished from Verona which is where Juliet lives and if he is spotted their he will be killed. Romeo is devastated by the news and wants to kill himself but Friar Lawrence advises him to go live in Montua until things settle down and that he and Juliet will meet in secret. Another problem arises with Juliet. A wedding is planned for her and Paris.“Take thou Vial, being then in bed, and this distilled liquid drink thou off”(4.1.93-94). Friar Lawrence comes up with a plan for Juliet to drink a potion that puts her to sleep for a few days and makes the impression that she is dead. She will be put in a tomb and when she wakes up Romeo will get her and they

Romeo and Juliet, the ‘star-crossed lovers’, were doomed to a tragic end by Friar Lawrence, their final hope. In this analytical essay, the statement ‘Friar Lawrence is to blame for the tragic events that occur in the play’ will be proved true. In William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, Friar Lawrence’s belief in his vision for Romeo and Juliet’s future, leads him to cause the tragic end to their love story instead. There are three reasons why Friar Lawrence is to blame, firstly he should not have agreed to marry Romeo and Juliet, secondly he should not have given Juliet the sleeping potion, and thirdly he failed the most important aspect of his plan, which was to deliver the message to Romeo.

“I’m not going to leave you two alone until after you’re married.” said Friar Lawrence. He then gestures for both Romeo and Juliet to follow him into the garden behind the church. Romeo and Juliet both stand in front of Friar Lawrence looking happier than ever. Friar Lawrence notices this and just thinks to himself about how dumb this is, but he is willing to do it in hope of stopping the feud. A feud that has been going on for so long that no one even remembers how it started and yet the family's hate each other because of it. Hate each other so much that some are willing to kill each other.

Even though he was fully aware that Romeo and Juliet’s relationship was forbidden, he agrees to marry them as well as encouraging them in hopes to resolve the ancient feud between their two families, the Capulets, and the Montagues. Shakespeare uses foreshadowing when Friar Lawrence says, “These violent delights have violent ends”. This quote foreshadows how Romeo and Juliet’s relationship ultimately ends up, violently with the suicides of the two. By agreeing to marry the two, it caused problems later down the line. When Paris requested to marry Juliet, Lord Capulet accepted his offer. Juliet was already married and refused to forget Romeo, so Friar Laurence stepped in again and devised a plan for Juliet to make it out of Verona and to Mantua, but it failed. Friar Lawrence developed a potion for Juliet to drink the night before the wedding, but when Juliet went back to Lord Capulet to accept the marriage proposal, she overdid it causing the wedding to be moved up to the next day. Friar Lawrence was supposed to send Friar John to Mantua to send the message of the plan to Romeo, but when Romeo’s man, Balthasar saw that Juliet was as far as he knew, dead, he rushed to tell Romeo and arrived before Friar John

Juliet wakes up finding Romeo dead, then she starts talking about how bad Romeo’s death was. She was spiraling in the emotional roller coaster going down to suicide. While this is happening, the Friar walks in and hears the authorities coming. He says “Come, I'll dispose of thee Among a sisterhood of holy nuns: Stay not to question, for the watch is coming; Come, go, good Juliet,”. Juliet would not go, because she was wanting now to die with her love. Since she was not coming, Friar Lawrence says “I dare no longer stay.” Really quick after the Friar leaves, she commits suicide. Friar Lawrence left the scene, because he did not want to get in trouble with killing Romeo. He wanted to run from the crime, and hide the witness in crime, Juliet, by bringing her to the nuns. SInce Juliet was not coming in time, he runs with the intention of getting away with his crime of killing Romeo. As the Friar runs away, his crime only becomes bigger when Juliet kills herself. The Friar is guilty now with not two, but now three

Friar Lawrence is a well liked community member and a noble churchman in the play of Romeo and Juliet. After playing a vital role in the marriage of the star crossed lovers without their family’s blessing and his poor influence leading to wrong decisions, the marriage was not meant to be. He is who to blame for their death. He willingly serves as an advisee in times of need establishing a critical role in the two infatuated lovers. As Friar Lawrence’s influence foreshadows events to come in the lives of Romeo and Juliet, it is crucial for events to come.

Friar Lawrence sent a letter to Romeo to explain the situation with Juliet, but something happened and Romeo did not get the message. When he learned of Juliet’s death, he was heartbroken. He bought poison to kill himself, so that he would be with Juliet again. When Romeo went back to Verona, he ran into Count Paris and they began fighting. The fight ended when Romeo killed Paris. Romeo then saw his beloved Juliet in her grave and he took the poison. When Juliet woke up, she was surrounded by Romeo and Paris, both dead. The Friar was also there, but she told him to leave her. Juliet stabbed herself so she could once again be reunited with her true love, Romeo. The story ended with the Capulets and the Montagues mourning over their losses, and

Romeo looked up, strength in his eye. “You may break my body, but you will never break my love.”

Romeo and Juliet confess their love again and decide to get married. Juliet goes back into her room and Romeo goes in search of someone to marry them. Early in the morniuyng, Friar Lawrence, holding a basket, fills it with different varieties of herbs, weeds and flowers. While he is talking about how much he loves the Earth and nature, he talks about the plants he is collecting. Romeo comes, showing signs of lack of sleep, and the Friar thinks that he may have slept with Rosaline. Romeo tells him that he didn’t, and talks with the Friar about his love for Juliet and how he intends on marrying her with the help of Friar. The friar agrees to marry Romeo and Juliet with hopes of ending the everlasting feud between the Montagues and the Capulets. Later that morning, Mercutio and Benvolio both wondering what happened to Romeo that night. Benvolio finds out that Romeo didn’t return home. Benvolio also finds a letter that Tybalt send to Romeo, challenging him to a duel. Mercutio thinks that Romeo may already be dead, saying that Romeo is not man enough to beat Tybalt. Romeo arrives and Mercutio starts to ridicule him, saying that he is weak. Mercutio accuses Romeo of abandoning them,
