To What Extent Should Romeo And Juliet Be Considered A Comedy

Document D shows, “They are two-star crossed lovers who live apart from each other because of the war between the Montague and the Capulet family that results in death in order to be resolved.” This relates to when Juliet was upset with Father Capulet because he has made arrangements for her to marry Paris. Lord Capulet is unaware of Juliet liking an enemy from a different family. In addition, he also does not know that his daughter is in love with a banished lover who happened to kill Juliet's cousin. This action causes Juliet to fake her death with a sleeping drug. Due to being far away from his wife, Romeo hears about this news and commits suicide by drinking poison. A couple of moments later Juliet wakes up to find Romeo dead. Afterwards, she commits suicide by stabbing herself with a sword. When these deaths are seen, it causes the Montagues and the Capulets to come together. Romeo and Juliet's death could have been avoided if the fathers had stopped the feud between the two

Juliet is Lord Capulet’s only daughter and only child, making him really strict about who she marries. At first, Lord Capulet gave Juliet the choice of whether she wanted to marry Paris or not. Lord Capulet thought that Paris would be a great man for his only daughter to marry because of his social status, his wealth, and his relation to the Prince. Later in the play, without regard to Juliet’s feelings Lord Capulet forced Juliet to marry Paris and when Juliet disagreed, he yelled at her,“Hang thee, young baggage! Disobedient wretch!/ I tell thee what: get thee to church o' Thursday,/Or never after look me in the face” (3.5 160-162). Lord Capulet hates the Montagues, Juliet could not have told him that she was already married to his enemy’s son. Lord Capulet in this quote gave Juliet an ultimatum: either she marries Paris or he disowns her. Because Lord Capulet said this and made the decision that Juliet will marry Paris, Juliet went to the Friar to find a solution. The solution that ended up with her in the tomb where she killed herself. Tybalt was Lord Capulet’s nephew, his death made Lord Capulet emotional and caused his outburst at Juliet. Before being in grief, Lord Capulet thought that Juliet was too young to be married. Nonetheless his emotions and rash decisions led to his daughter’s death. After Tybalt’s death and Romeo’s banishment, Juliet was extremely depressed and would not stop crying. Thinking that it was only because of Tybalt’s death that Juliet is so upset, Lord Capulet changed the wedding date: “I’ll have this knot knit up [Wednesday] morning” (4.2 21-22). Friar Lawrence scheduled the plan to happen on Thursday, but since the wedding was moved up a day, it was ruined. Romeo did not receive the letter explaining the plan in time because there was not enough time to deliver it. Instead, Romeo was told that Juliet was dead from Balthasar. Because Romeo could not live without

He displays his hope when he says, “For this alliance may so happy prove / to turn your household’s rancor to pure love”(Act I, Scene 4, Lines 91-92). Friar Laurence kept Romeo and Juliet’s relationship secretive, making the situation worsen. Later on, the Friar shows that he has regrets about the marriage.

He had the potential to prevent the deaths of Romeo and Juliet, but his decisions led Romeo and Juliet to do reckless actions under his ideas. Friar Laurence’s thoughtless decisions led to the deaths of Romeo and

“A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life; whose misadventured piteous overthrows do with their death bury their parents' strife.” (prologue)The Lord Capulet is to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet.

Friar Laurence knew what he was doing was wrong and that it would end up in consequences, because the two families of these children didn’t get along and that they wouldn’t approve of that marriage, because later Sir Capulet told Juliet that she would have to marry Sir Paris while she was already married to Romeo but without him knowing or else he would disown her. This detail is significant because if they had advised their families then that might have stopped the feud between their families. In the play, Juliet informed Friar Laurence what Sir Capulet had demanded. In act four scene one it states “Tell me not, Friar, that thou hearst of this, Unless thou tell me how I may prevent it… God joined my heart and Romeo’s, thou our hands.….And, if thou darest, I’ll give thee remedy.” Juliet had gone and asked for Friar Laurence for help and he went and gave her poison so that she would go seem dead for 48 hours.
