Flaws In Romeo And Juliet

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

When Lord Capulet first finds out that Juliet doesn't want to marry Paris, he is frazzled. He tells Lady Capulet,”... Doth she not count her blest... So worthy a gentleman to be her bride?”(3.5.143-145). Lord Capulet is confused on why she would not want to marry this man that

First off, after Romeo tries to stop the fight between Tybalt and Mercutio, Mercutio is stabbed and Romeo does not act to save him. Romeo thinks Mercutio’s wound is not fatal and he jokes about it: “Courage, man. The hurt can not be much” (3.1.89). This event soon causes Mercutio’s death and then also causes the unthoughtful fight lead by Romeo. Next, after Tybalt kills Mercutio, Romeo challenges Tybalt to a fencing duel because of Romeo’s aggression caused by Mercutio’s death: “Either thou, or I, or both, must go with him” (3.1.123). Romeo’s challenge for Tybalt had angered Tybalt, caused both of them to threaten each other, and eventually a sword fight played out, resulting in Tybalt’s death. Lastly, Romeo’s apathetic attitude is seen when Friar Laurence tells Romeo about his banishment from Verona: “Thou cuttst my head off with a golden axe and smilest upon the stroke that murders me” (3.3.22/23). Romeo is clearly ignorant to the fact that he will no longer be able to see Juliet and would rather die than be banished from Verona. This is one of the many reasons why Romeo dies so early in his life. In conclusion, Romeo causes his own problems because he does not think before he acts. If he were to stop and think, most of the conflicts would not happen in the

Romeo is also very disliked, so in the next act Tyblat decides to fight him. This results in the death of both Mercutio, who was defending him, and Tybalt. Romeo kills Tybalt, Paris, and himself. After he kills himself, Juliet discovers him and kills herself. There were many things that could have been avoided if Romeo had thought things through instead of acting on impulse, or if he had made a

One of Romeo's most prominent flaws is how his emotions dictate how he reacts to different people and situations. Throughout the play, Romeo finds himself in different situations that make him feel strongly about something, whether it be his

All fairy tales bear the outcome of happily ever after, in which two lovers discover a flame, fall in love, and get married soon after. In William Shakespeare’s play The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, the two find their flame, fall in love, and become married. However, the hand of death drives them apart, and the outcome all readers anticipate fades away. The disappointment readers face poses the question of where the blame should go for the play’s melancholic ending. Although their tragic flaws contribute, the feud between the families and fate cause the deaths of Romeo and Juliet.

He can not get out of his head, that Juliet doesn’t want to marry yet, at least not to Paris. Capulet sadi, “ And too soon marred are those so early made. Earth hath swallowed all my hopes but she; she is the hopeful lady of me earth. But woo her, gentle Paris, net her heart, My will to her consent is but a part.”(Act I, Scene II, 13-17).In this Capulet was explaining how much he would like Paris to marry Juliet. “ I was your mother much upon these years That you are now a maid. Thus then in brief; the valiant Paris seeks you for his love.” ( Lady Capulet, Act I, Scene III, 72-74). Just like how Capulet wants Juliet and Paris to marry, so does Lady

In the same conversation with Paris, Capulet says “my will to her consent is but a part” (1.2. 17). Capulet wants his daughter to be happy and he wants her to feel like she has a decision in her marriage. Capulet believes he has a small part in the decision to marry Juliet in the sense of making sure she is financially secure, but the biggest part is made by Juliet which is very unusual during this time as most marriages were arranged. Just like today, love is very complicated and everyone looks at love in their own way and will make their own decisions on their love life based on their

“Romeo and Juliet” by Shakespeare is known as a romantic tragedy as Romeo and Juliet being the “star crossed lovers” but Shakespeare had a deeper, more distorted version of this concept. The play has a meaning very different then what is usually portrayed by the play “Romeo and Juliet”’s secret theme is that every income of the play doesn’t have an effect on the outcome, rather than the human condition is ultimate the fate of the characters, just like in real life. The flaws of someone is the director of every life aspect, income outcome, everything. A perfect example of this philosophy is the characters that all die in “Romeo and Juliet” all have died because of their own physical flaws, not other characters directly or indirectly affecting

Desperate and heartbroken, Juliet turns to Friar Lawrence for help as her father prepares everyone for a wedding between her and the County Paris. She fools everyone, including Romeo, into believing she’s dead, thus drawing him to travel back home

Fate plays a major role in the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. The prologue describes Romeo's and Juliet's fate, which we see come up many times later on in the play. Throughout the

Romeo is responsible for his a Juliet’s deaths because of how quickly he fell in love with Juliet and decided to marry her. Prior to meeting Juliet, Romeo was head-over-heels for another girl named Rosaline, who wanted nothing to do with him. Then, when he goes to the Capulet’s party and sees Juliet, he is instantly smitten with her, before even speaking to her. He then goes on to say, “Did my heart love till now? For swear it, sight! For I ne’er saw true beauty till this night” (1, 5, 52-53). At this point, he has forgotten all about Rosaline, dismissing the fact that he ever even loved her. This is significant because it shows how easily Romeo can change his mind. The next day, Romeo goes to Friar Lawrence and asks him to marry him and Juliet, saying, “We met, we woo’d, and made exchange of vow…

When Capulet tells Juliet that she is to marry Paris, she refuses because she is loyal to Romeo. Juliet responds to the offer politely with, “No proud you have, but thankful that you have / Proud can I never be of what I hate / But thankful even for hate that is meant love” (III. V. 151-153). Juliet kindly declines her father’s wish for her to marry Paris because she is still faithful to Romeo.

When something goes wrong, tragedies happen without no one to blame. In William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, a lot of tragedies happen that caused six people to die. Two noble families from Verona have been holding grudge to each other for a long time and cause tragic results to their relatives and friends. Citizens stain their hands because of the feud that the fate cause. However, it did not stop the young star-crossed lovers from getting married and loving each other. Love and secret marriage force the young lovers to mature quickly and fate causes them to commit suicide that ended the feud. The fate is responsible for all the tragedies that happen to their relatives and friends.
