Disrespect For Her Parents In Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet

Their love had brought out things they never felt before. Their emotions have caused them to feel that everyone in their family is one and their families are stupid for being enemies. When Romeo was banished from their town, Juliet was in sorrow. She took a potion to pretend to be dead without even caring for what the consequences will be. “Oh, if I wake, shall I not be distraught,/ Environèd with all these hideous fears,/ And madly play with my forefather’s joints,/ And pluck the mangled Tybalt from his shroud,/ And, in this rage, with some great kinsman’s bone,/ As with a club, dash out my desperate brains?/ Oh, look! Methinks I see my cousin’s ghost/ Seeking out Romeo, that did spit his body/ Upon a rapier’s point. Stay, Tybalt, stay!/ Romeo, Romeo, Romeo! Here’s drink. I drink to thee.” (4.3.50-59) When Juliet was saying this she was scared to what was going to happen but she did it anyways so that she can be with Romeo again. Juliet is in deep love that she does not care what her parents will think knowing that she was dead as well as the rest of her family. As this happened and her fake funeral had occurred, Romeo came back to town not knowing that Juliet faked her death. “From this world-wearied flesh. Eyes, look your last. Arms, take your last embrace. And, lips, O you/The doors of breath, seal with a righteous kiss/ A dateless bargain to engrossing death./ Come, bitter conduct, come, unsavoury guide./ Thou desperate pilot, now at once run on/ The dashing rocks thy seasick, weary bark./ Here’s to my love! (drinks the poison) O true apothecary,/ Thy drugs are quick. Thus with a kiss I die.” (5.3.121-131) Romeo killed himself so that he can be with Juliet forever. He did not know about the plan. He did not know it was a setup so the Romeo and Juliet can run away. When Juliet woke up and saw Romeo dead she did the same thing. They might be young minds but they believe that they were true love. Juliet

After simply being banished, Romeo seeks to take his life, without realizing that he is in a better situation than others (including his dead friend, Mercutio). Not understanding how his life will impact others, he makes the decision to die. Eventually, the Friar, an adult figure with a developed mind, steps in and uses reason, which Romeo lacks. Not only does Romeo act in such a manner, but Juliet also shares the same characteristic. After meeting Romeo at the Capulet’s party, knowing him for about 1 minute, Juliet kisses him, and they seek marriage. This is despite her saying later on that ”Although I joy in thee, / I have no joy of this contract tonight. / It is too rash, too unadvised, too sudden” (Shakespeare II.ii 116-118). As Juliet is still a teenager, however, her animal instincts get the best of her, and they get married the next day. Through this, it is shown that while teenagers may know how to deal with things rationally (like Juliet’s little blurb on how she shouldn’t marry), their undeveloped minds get the better of them, and they go with their natural flow.

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.

Juliet's parents were not caring for their family. They only cared about themselves and did not take proper care of their daughter, as a result of their daughter’s death. They would ignore her at times except when they were in front of the guests. Additionally, Lady Capulet thought that Juliet grieving over her cousin’s death was foolish and made her look stupid, “Evermore weeping for your cousin’s death? What, wilt thou wash him from his grave with tears? An if thou couldst, thou couldst not make him live. Therefore, have done. Some grief shows much of love, But much of grief shows still some want of wit.” (Shakespeare.3.5.69-74). Juliet's parents were the root of Juliet's death, because of how uncaring and disregarding they were of Juliet.

book and that Paris is the book". This shows the love of one parent to

In order to understand Romeo and Juliet, it must be remembered that these two heralds of love were little more than children. In Renaissance England, the category of adolescence was not recognized (Cox 391). A person went from childhood to adulthood without the liberty that is allowed to modern adolescents. Nowadays, the teenage years are accepted as a turbulent period in which defiance of authority and assertion of "self" are not only allowed, but also expected. Adults explain away even the most inexplicable behavior of teenagers as "just a phase". However, as this was not done in Shakespeare’s England, both Romeo and Juliet were expected to take on the roles of adults, and were chastised for their refusal to enter in the adult world as their parents would have them. Juliet is first presented to the audience as a young woman who has come to marrying age: “Well, think of marriage now; younger than you, / Here in Verona, ladies of esteem, / Are made already mothers…Thus then in brief: / The valiant Paris seeks you for his love”(1.3.69-74). Juliet is presented with the idea of marrying Paris with

Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare early in his career about two star-crossed lovers whose deaths ultimately reconcile their feuding families. Both Romeo and Juliet are young and sprightly teenagers, Romeo being 15-16 and Juliet with the age of 13. They are teens that make impulsive decisions without thinking about the consequences. David Dobbs the author of the article “Beautiful Brains” explains why teenagers act the way they do throughout scientific research and studies. This article helps to understand Romeos and Juliets actions which led to their deaths.

Lady Capulet enters Juliet 's room and thinks that she’s still crying over Tybalt’s death, but Juliet tries to explain that she’s actually grieving over Romeo’s exile in contradictory words. Juliet says, “Indeed, I never shall be satisfied With Romeo, till I behold him—dead— Is my poor heart for a kinsman vexed. Madam, if you could find out but a man To bear a poison, I would temper it, That Romeo should, upon receipt thereof, Soon sleep in quiet. Oh, how my heart abhors hearing him named, and cannot come to him. To wreak the love I bore my cousin Upon his body that slaughtered him!” (III.v.93-102). In the quote, Juliet says one thing while her mother hears another showing even parents and children sometimes don 't understand each other. Romeo is in Friar Lawrence’s cell after the prince had banished him. He draws his sword to kill himself thinking he had cause Juliet grief but Friar stops him and says, “Hast thou slain Tybalt? wilt thou slay thyself? And slay thy lady, too that lives in thee, By doing damnèd hate upon thyself” (III.iii.17-18). From Romeo 's viewpoint the Friar is unable to understand his grief and for the Friar, Romeo is being away to overdramatic. All of the evidence shows the difficult relationships between parents and children.

Derived from the potent lessons that one should learn throughout their childhood and adolescence from parental figures is the concept of a moral compass; when one lacks this sense of guidance it can dramatically affect their ability to form a sound sense of judgment which could expose them to unfavourable consequences. In William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, the theme that when young people face a lack of parental guidance the effects can be detrimental to their futures is demonstrated comprehensively. The first reason for the tragic outcome of the play can be traced back to the selfishness of several supporting characters that bear significant roles in the coming of age of both Romeo

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.

It’s hard to blame someone for juliet's death when almost everyone was at fault, but there are characters whose actions were more brutal than others. While Count Paris is often considered the mastermind behind her death, many may view Tybalt as the one who started it all. In the play Romeo & Juliet by William Shakespeare one can see that Juliet's parents were the ones at fault for forcing the marriage and putting pressure on her.

Juliet is the daughter of Lord and Lady Capulet. When the play begins, we learn from the nurse that Juliet is soon turning fourteen (“Even or odd, of all the days in the year come Lammas-Eve at night shall she be fourteen”). In Juliet's first meeting with her mother and the nurse, she seems to be an obedient and responsible child. She comes immediately when they call her and answers always respectfully to her mother: "Madam, I am here, / What is your will?" (“Act 1, Scene 3). She is also clever as when her mother asks her what she thinks about marriage, she gives an ambiguous answer by saying what her mother wanted to hear really: “it is an honour I dream not of” (“Act 1, Scene 3). We learn that she is

Juliet's parents are so overprotective, they drive her to fake her own death. With the pressure to marry Paris, Juliet’s madness consumes her. This is one of the first instances of “illness” in the passage. After Juliet’s fake death, Friar Laurence explains to the crowd that, “Oh, in this love, you love your child so ill.”(39) The importance of this passage is shown throughout the story. The Capulet family is forcing their beloved daughter to marry Paris, whom Juliet is not interested in. This push from her parents makes Juliet so upset that she is willing to fake her death to avoid it. In this, her parents are trying to protect her, but instead they are driving her mad. Romeo, alternatively, who makes Juliet so happy, is despised by her parents because of their families’ feud. The star-crossed lovers are in a relationship that cannot be broken, but does not have the approval of their parents. When Juliet poisons herself so she will not have to marry Paris, her parents are literally “loving [her] so ill”.
