Teenage Rebellion In Romeo And Juliet And The Breakfast Club

Teen Rebellion is a common theme throughout movies, literature, and song lyrics. Teen rebellion is a normal action through teen years. Teen rebellion is caused by wanting to prove a point and a craving for freedom. During teenage years you always want prove a point weather to an authority figure or even to yourself. Also teens are growing into adults and tend to grave freedom. In Shakespeare's “Romeo and Juliet” both Romeo and Juliet rebel against their families. The two families of Romeo and Juliet are the most bitter enemies and only care for murdering the other family. Romeo of the Montagues and Juliet of the Capulets are now falling in love with each other but know that the war being families will be a complication to their love. Romeo

When Juliet finds out that Tybalt has been killed and Romeo is in exile, for killing Tybalt, Juliet feels both passionate about Romeo and disappointed in both Romeo and herself, which reveal her inner struggle. In Act 3, Juliet’s Nurse comes back with this news that Tybalt is dead and that Romeo is such an awful person for killing him. Juliet fights back at the Nurse, and herself, for speaking bad about Romeo. She claims, ““Shall I speak ill of him that is my husband? Ah, poor my lord, what tongue shall smooth thy name, When I, thy three hours' wife, have mangled it? But wherefore, villain, didst thou kill my cousin? That villain cousin would have killed my husband.” (3.2.99-101). This shows that Juliet is passionate about Romeo, because first of all, she says that she was wrong to say bad things about her husband.

The star-crossed lovers were indeed, in the modern sense, rebellious. Both, especially Juliet, frequently disobeyed their parent’s will. Both ignored a potentially centuries-long feud for their young love. One of them killed two people. In ultimatum, any 15-year old who wants to get a nose piercing can look to them as inspiration.

Many teenagers make bad decisions, and act in a way most adult would say is unintelligent. Romeo and Juliet was a story about two feuding families with the same wealth living in Verona. After a big fight Prince Escalus tells them that if there is another fight they will be killed.  Later that night Romeo meets Juliet at her father’s party and they both fall in love, after the party Romeo talks with Juliet about getting married and she agrees to have the wedding the very next day. After the wedding the two families get into another fight. Due to the fight Mercutio and Tybalt gets killed. Romeo who was also fighting was sentenced to banishment even

Even though they have made many immature mistakes (like marrying only after knowing each other less than twenty-four hours), Romeo and Juliet have matured throughout the play because they have both put each other before themselves, they both have been more aware and considerate of other people instead of being vain and inconsiderate, and they both have tried to control their own fates instead of letting fate control them.

Romeo and Juliet is conflict and love. Conflict and love are both shown through characterization in all of the characters. In the beginning, we see Juliet 's character as a little young child who obeys her family duties. When she meets, Romeo, her character is taken on a rollercoaster of emotions. Juliet 's character is the source of conflict and we see this through her developing actions. Romeo creates Juliet into this powerful young women. Romeo is so important to Juliet that she does not want to loose him. Conflict begins to arise when things actually take off. Once they are together on the balcony, is when they both realize that they are meant for each other. That true love is true and that they are destined for the stars. True love is

In the tragedy 'Romeo and Juliet', Shakespeare presents the inner struggles of Romeo and Juliet, the two protagonists as one of the main themes. This is clearly shown at the end of Act 3 Scene 2 when Juliet receives the news that Romeo has been banished and Tybalt has been killed. Juliet is distraught at the conflict of her loyalties. Should she express love for her family or should she express love for Romeo? By using many different language features, such as oxymorons, paradox, antithesis and dramatic irony, Shakespeare effectively displays Juliet's conflicting emotions. Later in the play, Shakespeare uses the betrayal by adults to again show the inner struggles of Romeo and Juliet.

Throughout Romeo and Juliet the theme of conflict is conveyed in many forms, mostly through physical violence; reflected in the era of the Renaissance where there was political turmoil and many European nations were at war. Shakespeare presents the theme in other forms as well; family versus family, sacred versus profane, parent versus child and language versus inner conflict. Conflict is a key in the structure of the play; it is highlighted in the beginning, middle and end. As an audience we are constantly being reminded of conflict which is reflected within the era the play was written in. The Renaissance was the 'rebirth ' of classical learning and was also the time when Science challenged many traditional Christian beliefs which resulted in Catholics fighting Protestants; the Gunpowder plot and the Spanish Armada. Shakespeare chose to dramatise conflict as it was the context in which he was writing plays. It is therefore arguable that this period was characterised by irreconcilable opposites in politics, religion and art. Nothing in the world can exist without its opposite- just as love cannot exist without hate, violence cannot exist without peace.

In this scene of the play, Juliet is met with the internal struggle of whether or not she will drink the vial Friar Laurence has given her as part of the plan. In the song the lyrics introduce with how “Some people watch, some people pray” “some people hope, some people pray.” I believe this is Juliet's internal conflict on how she is praying for a miracle for people to watch. The next line that the play reflects is where it says “Cause even heroes get the blues or any misery you choose we like to use and we were born to lose”. The plays reflects on how Juliet who is a main character or well Heroine of the story but despite that she stills feels sad and the misery she chooses is to fake

The Breakfast Club Today, many teenagers are portrayed as misunderstood by adults. However, the truth is, teenagers are not misunderstood at all. One of the first films that portrays the truth behind teenagers distant and deceiving behavior is The Breakfast Club. This film shows that all teenagers are not misunderstood, but are looked down upon by adults and authority figures. The film touches base on almost every stereotypical teenager; the athlete, the princess, the criminal, the brain and the basketcase.

Teen rebellion is contrasted to “Romeo and Juliet”, and through centuries of movies, books, songs, and along with poems because people relate to going against rules at some point in their life to do something they said they were not supposed (Shakespeare). Teen rebellion makes songs, poetry, books, and movies more desirable by giving it a more unique, and interesting look at different point of views which some to most people could relate to in some way. Most movies, and songs can give some representation of teenage rebellion, and therefore it could be rebelling against the rules, against one’s parents, or even the law. For example, in the movie “The Outsiders” the main characters Ponyboy and Johnny, who are Greasers, get into a brawl with the Social member resulting in a death which causes a series of events leading to a rebellious plan to leave town and go on the run from the law which will show the consequences of one’s actions (Coppola). Another example of teenage rebellion is in the movie “Clueless” where Cher,

Each teenager comes from a different style of parenting, clique and with their own unique set of pressures. The movie The Breakfast Club portrays that peer pressure, stereotypes and parents attitudes shape the way kids act. The Breakfast Club should be considered a timeless classic as it is still relevant today. Teenagers are always looking

Teen rebellion is prevalent in many forms of text and film, which it is a crucial theme in many stories. “Romeo and Juliet” is very similar to the films “Mulan”, as well as “Finding Nemo” which all include the problem of teen rebellion. Teens causing contention, is a big issue in today's society and is portrayed in many films/text. Society could address the issue by applying more discipline on teens and instructing better problem solving skills. There are many examples in literature that portray teen rebellion.
