The Role Of Adults In Romeo And Juliet

A variety of decisions along with circumstance no one person could account for set the story of Romeo and Juliet up to be a tragedy. Many of the decisions in the play are made quickly and while emotions are running high, so frequently they result in bad outcomes. So, the rash and impulsive decisions made by men in Romeo and Juliet create the problems within the play.

In the story ¨Romeo and Juliet¨ by Shakespeare, many problems have occurred. Some of those being the huge conflict between the Capulets, and the Montagues, and Juliet's parents forcing her to marry Paris. Many people could be accused for causing some of the problems in Verona, but the two fighting families is the main one for a couple of reasons.

The Capulets are one of the responsible ones for the death of Romeo and Juliet because they weren’t supportive, they were uncaring, and impatient. When Juliet told her parents that she did not want to marry Paris, the Capulets wanted to disown her. “Hang thee, young baggage! Hang thee, young baggage! Disobedient wretch! I tell thee what: get thee to church o ' Thursday, Or never after look me in the face. Speak not. Reply not. Do not answer me. My fingers itch.—Wife, we scarce thought us blest. That God had lent us but this only child, But now I see this one is one too much And that we have a curse in having her. Out on her, hilding!” (3:5:170). Capulet was being unsupportive of his own daughters decision. If he did not force her to marry Paris, then Juliet would not have to come up with a way to get out of the marriage. Lady Capulet does not support her own daughter either. “Talk not to me, for I’ll not speak a word. Do as thou wilt, for I have done with thee.” (3.5.215) Lady Capulet stopped caring about what her daughter wanted. If she had listened to Juliet, hen Juliet would have not planned a way out of the wedding. Lady Capulet did not take Juliets feeling into consideration and forced her to finding a

The Relationship Between Parents And Children In William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet The tragedy of 'Romeo and Juliet' is the result of feuding between two noble families in Verona/Italy. Romeo was born into the Montague household, who were the more controlled, quieter family. They did not 'enjoy' the fights therefore tried to avoid the feuds.

Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy play written by Shakespeare. It is set in Verona, Italy during the 13th century, two noble families are feuding and two young lovers, one from each family fall in love. Romeo and Juliet have to keep their love a secret due to the ongoing war between their families. This suggests that their relationship with their parents is not one of trust. Relationships between children and parents then and now are very different because today parents are much closer to their children emotionally however in the time the play was set in the parents and children were distant from each other, this may be because nowadays parents are the prime carers but then people would

Whenever a problem occurs, there is always someone to take the blame, whether it be a war between two countries or an argument between siblings. In the play, The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare, it is no different. This story shows tragedy after tragedy and focuses on the tragic events that led the lovers to their deaths. However, there is much controversy surrounding who is to blame for the tragedies that took place. Some say that their families caused the deaths, while others say their counselor and mentor, Friar lawrence, is to blame since he married the two despite the potential consequences. Based on the facts, Romeo is to blame for all the tragedies that took place. Romeo acted infatuatedly, vengefully, and impulsively throughout this play, causing him to produce many tragedies along the way.

This therefore guarantees more money and more wealth for him, but the dream is shattered by Juliet, who refuses defiantly. It can also be seen through Capulet's outburst that daughters are treated “unworthy” of anything, and particularly unworthy of making their own decisions and standing up for themselves. Had these beliefs not existed, Juliet’s parents would certainly not have arranged her marriage with Paris, as they would want to give their daughter the liberty of choosing her husband herself. Or, if Juliet's parents had indeed arranged her marriage with Paris, Juliet would be able to calmly declare that she was in fact married to Romeo. Juliet’s parents would have cancelled her marriage with Paris, she would not have gone to Friar Lawrence and drunk the sleeping potion, and the tragedy would not

Before being introduced to the contents of the play, Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, understanding of the argument Shakespeare was attempting to convey, is that adolescents are impulsive and cannot make decisions themselves; and if they did, they would be subject to consequences that could ultimately cost them their lives. However, after reading Juliet’s parts, I was able to see that Shakespeare wasn’t arguing such at all. Instead I saw that Shakespeare was asking a question of who is mature, as opposed to stating that children are immature. So, as a reader, my original perspective of maturity between youth and adults within the play was altered because of Juliet’s usage of measurements and quantitative

Juliet’s parents seem to not care about Juliet at all, they only care about keeping their families pride. In the book Juliet admits that she does not want to marry Paris and if her parents had actually listened to her she wouldn’t have wanted to figure out a way to leave the wedding. Capulet seemed to want the best for his daughter, but she didn't want to marry somebody she wasn’t in love with. and wanted to escape the marriage her father organized. But her plan of escape would result in death. Capulet's uncaring actions appeared in the first act, when he was planning a marriage between his daughter and Paris without her agreeing. Capulet also states "Of my child's love: I think she will be ruled. In all respects by me; nay, more, I doubt it not" (Shakespeare p. 79), that translates to “I think she’ll do whatever I say. No, I think she’ll do all that and more. I have no doubt about it”, which can seem a bit controlling. But, both Juliet’s and Romeo’s families can be responsible of their deaths because the tension caused between their families brought friction to Romeo and Juliet's decisions of who they love. Just as the Prince had blamed the families of Romeo and Juliet for their

“We’ve called it Family Safety. We are calling it Family Safety rather than Parental Control because people don’t like that term. Both parent and definitely child don’t like the idea of controlling, blocking, or spying on them or others” (written by unknown). Most parents think to have control of your child is the way parenting works. Some of these parents find that their child rebels against their “very specific” instructions. Between parent and child, their will always be a aspect of control and rebellion but this is because it could feel like the parent doesn’t trust the kid, the kid disagrees with the judgement call, and it has been proven to happen through surveys.
