The Nurse In Romeo And Juliet

Some people may think the Nurse and Friar Lawrence is ultimately to blame for Romeo and Juliet deaths. The Nurse and Friar Lawrence both kept secrets. The Nurse told Juliet to marry Paris and the Friar knew Juliet was brave enough to take the sleeping potion and fake her death. Fate and

Despite all of these actions which ultimately ended in chaos, I don't think that the Friar or the Nurse were to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. On some level their actions did partake in what eventuated in the tragedy, but they came with the best intentions, with high hopes that they would be able to save a young couple's love and end a bitter feud. Friar Laurence did bring the families together, but it was with death rather than marriage. O brother Montague, give me thy hand. (V, 3, 232)

The nurse is very loyal to Juliet as shown in the past quote. The nurse is taking a chance at talking to Romeo for she knows that he is of the house of Montague and god knows the penalty for the interaction between.

In Romeo and Juliet, to what extent is the Nurse to blame for the tragedy?

     In Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet the characters Nurse and Friar Laurence are to blame for Romeo and Juliet’s Problems.

Lord Capulet told Juliet that if she didn’t marry Paris that he would disown her and make her live on the streets to fend for herself and because Lord Capulet was so overbearing, she was nervous and didn’t say anything of being with

He changes his mind very quickly and can flip-flop between what he wants for Juliet. For example, as Paris and Capulet are talking to each other Paris asks Lord Capulet for his permission to marry Juliet. Capulet then replies, “My will to her consent is but a part. And, she agreed, within her scope of choice lies my consent and fair according voice.” (1.2.17-19). In this quote, Lord Capulet is saying that his decision is only a part and if Juliet agrees to marry Paris his blessing will confirm her choice. Soon after Tybalt’s death, Capulet and Paris speak to one another once again. Tybalt suggests marrying Juliet to stop her mourning over the death of her cousin, Tybalt, and Lord Capulet agrees. Once Lord Capulet hears Juliet’s perspective on not marrying Paris he threatens her by saying, “I tell thee what: get thee to church o’ Thursday, or never after look me in the face” (3.5.167-168). This quote shows that Lord Capulet is forcing Juliet to marry Paris or else she cannot return back home. He doesn’t listen to Juliet’s opinion and seems to not care if she is happy or not with the marriage. This proves that Lord Capulet is fickle and is most responsible for Juliet’s

In Act 3 Scene 5 Lady Capulet is very fickle in making her decision to stand up for Juliet when she decides to go against her father’s orders and not marry Paris. This lack of the ability to stand up for her own daughter just emphasises the distance between Lady Capulet and Juliet as Mother and Daughter.

While he is being forced out of Verona, Lady Capulet is arranging a marriage for Juliet and Paris.For example, In scene five Nurse says, Romeo is banished and he has wrecked everything for you. He must not dare to come back and claim you. I think it would be best if you married Paris. He is a fine man and would be gould for you and your family. I think you would be happy in this marriage, for it will be better than the first (215-225). The Nurse has changed her mind on who she thinks Juliet should marry. She went from helping Juliet elope to Romeo and then moved on to helping Lady Capulet convince Juliet that she should marry Paris. In addition to the theme of this essay, In scene 5, Juliet says, “Thou and my bosom henceforth shall be twain./ I’ll to the friar to know his remedy./ If all else fail, myself have power to die “(242-224). If Juliet can not be married to Romeo, she would rather be dead. She will not marry Paris or anyone that is not Romeo. She can not imagine a life without him. Juliet is so distraught by this arranged marriage that she would rather

Capulet will go to extreme measures to do what he thinks is right for his daughter. Capulet thinks that it is inevitable for Juliet to marry Paris and goes as far as saying “I’ll tell you what: get to church on Thursday, or never look me in the face again. Don’t say anything! Don’t reply! Don’t answer me back! My fingers are itching! Wife, we thought we were very lucky that God gave us this only child – but now I realize that this one is one too many and we’ve been cursed in having her! To blazes with her, the worthless creature!” (185). In his rant he fails to realize that this is truly not what Juliet wants and that this is not what’s best for her. The only thing in the way of Juliet marring Paris is that she secretly loves Romeo and is waiting for the day that she reunites with him and they live happily ever after. This rant by Lord Capulet turns Juliet against her father and shows the readers that Lord Capulet is not the loving father he once was. Later in the play, Juliet is found dead because of Lord Capulet’s insensitivity and ignorance towards her

The Nurse played an important role in the play The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. If the Nurses’s presence in the play had been omitted, the play would have ended out differently. Her absence would have made Juliet’s thoughts and feelings harder for the reader to understand. Throughout the play, Shakespeare uses the Nurse for many purposes but, her main role in the play is as a confidante. She assists Romeo and Juliet’s secret marriage, until she learns about Tybalt’s death.

The Character of the Nurse in Romeo and Juliet The Nurse has a very important role in the play, being Juliet’s closest friend and helping her in her illicit relationship with Romeo. Her position in the Capulet household is superior to that of a normal servant. She is very familiar when she talks to Lady Capulet, and at times oversteps the mark. She talks about the daughter she once had and lost, and it is evident that Juliet is like a replacement and the Nurse lavishes all her motherly love and protectiveness on Juliet.

Like in our world today we like to assign blame to someone's faults, that’s what is happening here. Who is to blame for the six deaths in Romeo and Juliet. The families, the Capulets and the Montagues because of their feud. Romeo and Juliet because of their stubborness, impatience and stupidity and then the Nurse. For not telling somebody before the problem got worse.

The Role of the Nurse in Her Relationship with Juliet in William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet

The Nurse acting like a messenger, contributed to Romeo and Juliet’s death. Another reason the Nurse contributes to Romeo and Juliet’s suffering is by keeping Romeo and Juliet ’s marriage a secret from Juliet’s parents. During Act 2, in a conversation with Romeo in Friar’s cell she tells Romeo, “Is your man secret?
