Romeo and Juliet -- Actions and Consequences of Many Characters of the Play and their effects of the plays outcome

Romeo’s relationship with Mercutio exemplifies how brotherly love can cause irrational actions. Mercutio and Benvolio are walking down the street when Tybalt and his men approach. Benvolio tries to prevent a fight, but Romeo shows up and Tybalt tries his best to provoke Romeo into fighting. Romeo doesn’t get angry, but Mercutio has enough and reacts. He says, “O calm, dishonorable, vile submission! / Alla stoccato carries it away. / Tybalt, you ratcatcher, will you walk?" (Shakespeare 3.1.74-76). Even though Romeo won't defend

Juliet finds out that her father pushed up the date for Juliet’s marriage with Paris and Juliet informs Friar Laurence. For the third plan, he makes a possibly deadly potion for Juliet so her family will think that she killed herself. Friar John will send a letter to Romeo informing him of the plan, then she’ll run away with Romeo out of town. This plan risks both Friar Laurence’s and Juliet’s life. It is irregular for such a holy man to be doing things so extreme. Back then, potion making would be seen as witchcraft to many, especially religious people because it is out of the ordinary. The punishment would be death. Making this potion brings Friar Laurence’s life on the life. He could die as a result of just trying to make peace. He had done these dangerous doings for justice. This shows the amount of dedication he was willing to put into the plan. Romeo and Juliet’s love had the potential of stopping the family feud, but they were too young and immature to do so and they messed everything

After losing the vital connection with her mentor and ‘adopted’ mother the nurse in act 3, Juliet forced herself into a last chance situation which could have been avoided if desperation was not the main behaviour behind her determination. Examples of when and how that could have been altered were evident in Act IV, Scene 1, Line 55, “Unless thou tell me how I may prevent it / If in thy wisdom thou canst give no help, Do thou but call my resolution wise, And with this knife I’ll help it presently. (shows him a knife)” Juliet demonstrates her desire to be with Romeo by displaying her almost suicidal thoughts which will later be escalated into a reality. Almost forcing Friar Lawrence to make a proposal and Juliet to support this decision without any other options. If Juliet made a smarter decision than choosing to take the sleeping potion, both characters would never had died later on in the

This happens on the very same day he gets married to Juliet. Instead of dealing with things rationally and and explaining the situations at hand, Romeo and Juliet, along with Friar Lawrence, devise underhanded plans to fix the situations at hand. Romeo goes as far to say that, “there is no world without Verona walls but purgatory, torture, hell itself,” because Juliet will remain in the city, and he will have to flee to Mantua. In a similar fashion, Juliet finds out she will be married to Paris, so she dramatically decides that she will kill herself before breaking her vows to Romeo. This leads to a plan being developed with Friar Lawrence. He gives Juliet a potion to make her appear lifeless, so she will not have to marry Paris, and sends a letter to be delivered to Romeo so he can come retrieve her from the tomb when she wakes. However, the plans fail, and Romeo never receives the letter. He ends up buying poison from an apothecary because he truly believes that Juliet is dead, and then ends up slaying Paris at the Capulet’s tomb. He drinks the poison because he feels he cannot bear to live without Juliet. When Juliet wakes and finds Romeo dead, she uses his dagger to commit suicide as well. After this, the Montagues and Capulets finally find out the truth, and end up putting aside their differences to commemorate their children’s supposed

During Father Laurence's monologue where he is offering Juliet the sleeping potion, the concept of mortality is expressed through Shakespeare's use of literary techniques. While Friar Laurence offers Juliet the potion, he mentions, “When thou drench this distilled liquor, thine vessel shalt stiffened as though a log, it shalt turned stony as ice and thine breath shalt not eschew thine rosy lips.” Father Laurence's contrast of Juliet to non-human objects is a personification that features the effects of this medicine to Juliet's body. Although it is not a literal death, Shakespeare still incorporates that mortality can develop as a result of willfulness. Moreover, the Friar advances and declares to Juliet that Romeo and she were destined to

The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet is a play written by William Shakespeare. It is about two young adults from opposing families who fall in love coincidentally. Romeo and Juliet are conflicted about their love because it is forbidden. It contributes to many issues throughout the play, including the death of Mercutio and Tybalt. Mercutio dies early in the play because it intensifies the feud between the two families and deepens the contrast between love and hate.

and Juliet, Act 4, scene, 1 page 92). Unluckily the message never got to Romeo. If Friar

When Juliet is forced by her father to bring Paris into her life, she feels defenseless and melancholic; because of her feelings of despair, she is desperate when she seeks advice from Friar Lawrence. The friar plans to fake Juliet’s death because then, Romeo would be able to preempt her from fulfilling her parents’ intentions, and they would flee to Mantua to experience life’s moments with freedom and free-will; but, when Juliet drinks the potion to place herself in a state of deep sleep for about two days, news about Juliet’s “death” reaches to Romeo by Balthasar. Romeo races to the tomb and witnesses Juliet’s “dead” body on the floor; so, he looks to Juliet’s “fair” (5.3.102) face and believes that death has stolen Juliet from him; because of his feelings of fear, he promises to stay with her no matter what: “I still will stay with thee/ And never from this palace of dim night/ Depart again. Here, here will I remain/ With worms that are thy chamber maids” (5.3.106-109). Overwhelmed by the tragedy in front of him, Romeo terminates his desolation by committing an act that is irreversible: “Thus with a kiss I die” (5.3.120). Suddenly, Juliet wakes up to Romeo’s corpse with confusion and shock. She quickly catches Romeo’s lips and notices the “poison [that] hang[s] on them” (5.3.165); specifically, she realizes that he “dr[a]nk [it] all, and

Romeo and Juliet is a play that expresses the contrast of love and hate. Romeo and Juliet are star-crossed lovers, but cannot be together because of their two feuding families. Mercutio is one of Romeo’s closest friends, so when Tybalt wants to fight Romeo, Mercutio wants Romeo to stand up for himself. The Montague’s and the Capulet’s are two rival families that live in Fair Verona. The themes of love and hate are very important in this play, as the plot is driven by these two feelings.

William Shakespeare’s famous and tragic play, Romeo and Juliet, is about two young lovers who die calamitously in an attempt to resolve their family rivalry. Juliet’s struggle between emotion and logic is clearly evident from the beginning to the end of the play. Juliet’s biggest internal conflicts occur in the infamous balcony scene, when she refuses to wed Paris, and lastly, when she takes the potion. In the balcony scene, Juliet is disheartened when she realises that she is a Capulet and her lover, Romeo, is a Montague.

In the play, Romeo and Juliet’s love-struck emotions take over all rational thought and particularly for Romeo; his passionate nature towards love and hate as well as

Morning comes, and the lovers bid farewell, unsure when they will see each other again. Juliet learns that her father, affected by the recent events, now intends for her to marry Paris in just three days. Unsure of how to proceed—unable to reveal to her parents that she is married to Romeo, but unwilling to marry Paris now that she is Romeo’s wife—Juliet asks her nurse for advice. She counsels Juliet to proceed as if Romeo were dead and to marry Paris, who is a better match anyway. Disgusted with the Nurse’s disloyalty, Juliet disregards her advice and hurries to Friar Lawrence. He concocts a plan to reunite Juliet with Romeo in Mantua. The night before her wedding to Paris, Juliet must drink a potion that will make her appear to be dead. After she is laid to rest in the family’s crypt, the Friar and Romeo will secretly retrieve her, and she will be free to live with Romeo, away from their parents’ feuding.

Dearest Juliet, as promised I have brought the sleeping potion for you. As I had mention from our last rendezvous, it will make you fall asleep for a long period, giving the illusion that you are dead. This will prevent your wedding to Paris and you can then run away with Romeo to live the happiest life. I have provided you with one solution; however, it is your own responsibility and choice to take it. I am not forcing you to take it, but it is available for you. Though, this potion will make you fall asleep, it is unclear whether you will awake from it. I am unsure about the symptoms that you will receive from it. It has never been used before by anyone else, so whether you will wake up is still to be seen. I knew of this remedy back when

Juliet didn't want to marry Paris, she already married Romeo, so she went to Friar Laurence and he gave her a potion. He explained this potion as something that can put you to sleep for 42 hours.
