The Comparison Between William Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet

Do parents make teens act they way they act? The Capulet’s over parent their children. Juliet at the beginning of the play is obedient and it seems afraid and it she seems afraid of her parents. Lady Capulet does this because she wants her daughter to be proper and raised good where she knows right from wrong. Capulet is hard on Juliet for the same reason but he wants her to live her life how he wants her to live it.

Relationships between teenagers and their parents are rarely boring. Since teenagers begin to think and act independently, conflict arises between them more frequently. This is not just a modern occurrence; in William Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, Juliet and her parents have very different points of view. In the play, she marries a man who is a member of a rival family without discussing it with her parents, which eventually leads to her demise because of the conflict that arises. She does not have much interaction with her parents throughout the play, but the miniscule amount shows the differing of opinions immensely. Juliet’s limited interactions with her parents in the play show that she has a rebellious relationship

Juliet’s drastic outbreaks and dishonesty are results from her father’s actions that take a toll on her happy ending. Initially, Juliet’s dishonesty to her parents is consistent from beginning to end, including her lies to Lady Capulet about having any feelings toward Romeo. By way of example, when Lady Capulet talks about vengeance towards Romeo, Juliet does not express her true feelings and instead says that, “[she] never shall be satisfied with Romeo, till [she] behold him-dead” (3.5.93-94). That being the case, Juliet keeps her newfound love with Romeo Montague a secret from her parents and does not try to tell her parents about her new feelings. In contrast, if Juliet is honest with her parents about her secrets, then they can step in

<br>This shows how Juliet has passion and faith in her relationship with Romeo, while her parents are old-fashioned; her father arranges a marriage for her, and her mother takes the side of her husband, rather than that of her daughter. This scene also shows how Juliet has changed and has gained the courage to speak against authority.

Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,And I'll no longer be a Capulet.”(2.2.36-39). In this quote Juliet is speaking of the family feud between her family and Romeo's. She tells Romeo to give up his name and she will deny hers so they can be in love. This proves that she did not tell her parents of her love for a Montague. If Romeo and Juliet would have told their parents of their love the two families would of course be furious at first but they would eventually get over it. They would want their children to be happy. This miscommunication was one of the causes of their deaths. Juliet also displays dishonesty and ultimitly bad communication with her parents when she states, “ It shall be Romeo, whom you know I hate, Rather than Paris.”(3.5.124). Juliet is talking about marrying Paris with her mother after Tybalt's death. Juliet has convinced her mother that she hates Romeo. This miscommunication has lead to her mother hating Romeo even more for making her daughter so upset and for killing Tybalt. If Juliet would have told her mother of her love for Romeo then her mother would likely forgive Romeo and see that it was mostly Tybalt's fault for his death. If Romeo and Juliet would have told their parents about their love for each other, then the families would have eventually accepted their love without Romeo and Juliet having to die first. In conclusion, teens should communicate their problems and big decisions with their parents before they act on impulse because every parent loves their child and will help them with anything that the teen is experiencing.

Most people stereotype teenagers to be rebels. They cause problems and do not think about the consequences of their actions. This is why some parents feel that they should have a say in who their kids date. During the 1300’s, parents had full control over who their kids married. The play Romeo and Juliet is a prime example of this.

This is the primary reason why children seek advice from their peers rather than their parents, as demonstrated by the titular characters Romeo and Juliet in William Shakespeare’s drama The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. Romeo and Juliet should have talked to their parents about their

When children defy their parents or ignore their commands, parents take this as disrespectful and often react with punishments or lectures. In Romeo and Juliet, Lord Capulet viciously declared that Romeo “shall be endured” (I.v. 86) when Tybalt had sworn to cause a disturbance at his party. After his dominance was threatened in his own household, Lord Capulet was greatly angered and became defensive. Likewise, modern families react rashly when receiving negative responses. Parents will do what they believe is best for their children without consulting them because of their acclaimed experience and knowledge. Lord Capulet had retorted that Juliet was a “disobedient wretch” (III.v. 166) when she challenged his wedding arrangement. Disregarding his demands hardly seems tolerant, and inflicted severe consequences. Unable to control their fury, parents can cause their children to feel as if they are inferior from irate insulting. Moreover, Lord Capulet completely disregarded Juliet’s begging for him to hear her “with patience but to speak a word” (III.v.165) and continued his own rampage against her. Parents who never listen to their children and recognize their perspective will not be able to fully comprehend their child’s thoughts. Due to their lack of consideration, parents and their children will forever have a division in

How much do parents affect their children’s lives? In the play The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, parents play a prominent role. The play is about two families, the Montagues and the Capulets, who are always feuding for unknown reasons. Despite this feud, however, two people, Romeo and Juliet, from opposing households fall in love. Romeo and Juliet shortly after meeting each other end up getting married; because of the feud, they must keep their marriage hidden from their parents. Eventually, Romeo gets banished for murdering Juliet’s cousin, Tybalt, and leaves Verona. Juliet’s father also wants her to marry Paris, yet he is unaware she is already married to Romeo. To get out of marrying Paris, she fakes her own

Teenage Post states," Teenagers are the most misunderstood people on earth. They are treated like children, but are expected to act like adults." This relates to Romeo and Juliet because both of the main characters have little freedom, but are expected to make adult decisions, like marriage, pregnancy, etc. Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare is a tragic love story. Romeo and Juliet takes place in Verona, Italy, and is about a forbidden love between two teenagers, who fall in love. Both of the teenagers take their lives, one out of confusion, and the other out of the fear of loneliness. The representation of teens such as Benvolio, Romeo, and Juliet are fair because it depicts them just as people, such as parents, would depict their own

Juliet’s parents are much more present, but only physically so. Neither is emotionally attached to Juliet nor do they have her best interests at heart, which pushes her towards the Nurse, who she has an emotional attachment to already. Not much can be said about Romeo’s parents as advisors, only that they seem to be more affectionate and caring towards Romeo; they are concerned about Romeo’s melancholy state over Rosaline, and Lady Montague later dies of after Romeo’s exile. Juliet’s parents, on the other hand, are very poor advisors who seek to enhance their power and wealth through her upcoming availability to marry, as evidenced through their insistence on her marriage. They do not listen to Juliet’s protests over the marriage to Paris and instead send the Nurse to discuss it with her.

ironically , in seeking to control children, parents can inadvertently drive them away. Juliet is a victim of over controlling parents. She is a young lady who is told she is aloud to make her own decisions but her over controlling father doesn’t go threw with that promise. Juliet slowly backs away from her parents as they control over her life. When over controlling people you love it can often lead to more pain and hurt than being helpful. Lord Capulet tells Juliet that she could do as she pleased and make her own decisions but he was not fatal to his words. “O’ thursday let it be,- o’ thursday, tell her, she shall be married to this noble earl” because of this enforcement on juliet is what starts juliet to push herself even more away from

Juliet Capulet was a nice little girl. At the age of 13, she had left this world. I was her Nurse and i pretty much raised her. She was the only daughter of Capulets and I know they are devastated,but I feel like I’m the one who is being punished the most. Juliet was like a daughter to me. I raised her, feed her with my own milk all throughout her childhood, and I was her best friend.. Juliet was very calm, yet very strong when it comes to love. The only time she disobeyed her parents was when her parents wanted her to get married but she was already married to Romeo. Juliet's love for Romeo was so strong. It was love at first sight. She was his love and she was his love. Although their love was forbidden from the beginning, it always felt

Romeo and Juliet’s relationships between them and their parents was not always positive due to the miscommunication. They would go on to do their own thing without their parents knowing where they are. Romeo's relationship with his parents had similarities and differences to Juliet’s parents. His parents would be wondering where he was most of the time, as Juliet’s parents would know she was being taken cared of by her Nurse. Lord Montague, who is Romeo’s father, was very caring of him and was always making sure his son was doing the right thing. He would mention that Romeo would always be depressed, staying in his room shedding tears all day. He shows great concern towards his son when he is telling Benvolio, “ ( Many a morning hath he there been seen, With tears augmenting the fresh morning’s dew, Adding to clouds more clouds with his deep sighs. But all so soon as the all-cheering sun Should in the farthest east begin to draw The shady curtains from Aurora’s bed, Away from light steals home my heavy son, And private in his chamber pens himself, Shuts up his windows, locks fair daylight out, And makes himself an artificial night. Black and portentous must this humor prove Unless good counsel may the cause remove ).”(Romeo & Juliet. 1.1.121-132). He explains to Benvolio how Romeo stays in his room crying all day, and would not let his father know why he is upset. Romeo

They cannot tell there parents their true feelings because of the feud between the two families. So they are left keeping it to themselves or someone close that is not direct family. Juliet says, “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”.
