Why would anyone get pardoned or punished in Romeo and Juliet? All the characters played a part in the problems that occurred. The Prince says, “Some shall be pardoned, and some punished.” If that is true, who would be left? In Romeo and Juliet, Lady Capulet should be pardoned. Lady Capulet was trying to help Juliet move on with things in her life and when Juliet said she didn’t want to get married, Lady Capulet wanted her to talk to Lord Capulet. “Find thou the means and I’ll find such a man. But now I’ll tell thee joyful tidings, girl”(Romeo and Juliet 3.5.103). Lady Capulet was saying to Juliet find out what you want and I will go out and find that guy. She was trying to help her daughter and make her happy. In addition to this Lady Capulet …show more content…
Lord Capulet was trying to force Juliet to marry Paris when she didn’t want to. He was calling her all these names when he found out that she didn’t want to marry him. Lord Capulet wanted to do what would make him happy. “Sir Paris, I will make a desperate of my child’s love. I think she will be ruled in all respects by me; nay, more, I doubt it not. Wife, go you to her ere you go to bed, acquaint her here of my son Paris’ love, and bid her- make you me? – on Wednesday next- but soft – what day is this?This quote is showing that Lord Capulet will do anything to make him and his friends happy and not think about how Juliet will feel. He is saying to Paris that he can marry Juliet that week. In addition to this, Lord Capulet makes many mistakes during the whole play. Lady Capulet just told Juliet about how her and Paris are getting married that Thursday. Juliet didn’t like is and she told Lord Capulet about it. “Hang thee young baggage, disobedient wretch! I tell thee what – get thee to church a 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. In this quote, Lord Capulet it threatening to kick Juliet out if she isn’t at a church on Thursday. He is forcing
Lady Capulet, mostly known for being Juliet’s mother, is the wife of the rich patriarch of the Capulet family, therefore, she is high up in the aristocracy. Their family have specific ways in which they must carry themselves. Lady Capulet is never seen exhibiting any behavior that could be misconstrued as inappropriate, and is always worried about what others will think. For example, as woman who herself married young, is very eager for her daughter to marry Paris, a kinsman of the Prince. Her only wish is for her daughter to fulfill her duty as a woman in the Elizibeathen Era, which is basically to marry someone of high social status and with a large amount of money. If Juliet were to not be married or if it were to a lowly man, she would
This does not allow Juliet to make her own decision. An example of this is when Lady Capulet reinforces the plan in which Paris would be Juliet's husband, rather than letting Juliet choose who she marries. Lady Capulet speaks for Juliet when she says “marry, my child, early next Thursday morn.” Having little to no knowledge aforetime about this news, Juliet is utterly astonished. Lady Capulet continues by saying “[the] young and noble gentleman, the county Paris... shall happily make thee there a joyful bride” (III.v.112-115). After having already prepared her life with Romeo, Juliet is in disbelief that her mother would not attempt to step into her father's plan. Juliet lashes back at her mother by saying “I will not marry yet” and threatening that she would marry Romeo “whom you know I hate” rather than Paris (III.v.115-122). The lack of communication between the two characters makes them distant from one another, and the little effort provided by Lady Capulet to approach her daughter is the main reason for this occurrence. The control Lady Capulet has over different characters and her
He threatens to disown Juliet if she does not marry Paris. In doing that, Lord Capulet isn't thinking for Juliet. He is being selfish. Here are directed quotes. Lord Capulet says “I tell thee what-get thee to church a Thursday or never after.
Should people be punished for their wrongdoings? In Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare. It is a story taking place in Verona and it is about to kids that commit suicide for there love.In Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, lord m. and the nurse should be punished and Lady Capulet should be pardoned for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet.
Romeo takes the third most amount of blame for the deaths of those people. When Tybalt kills Mercutio instead of romeo going after Tybalt he could have left him and let him be punished for killing mercutio which would execution so tybalt would die anyway but that keeps romeo from being banished. If romeo does not get banished then juliet does not take the potion to make her seem dead then romeo does not think that she is dead then he would not kill himself. If romeo does not kill tybalt it would all end there and the other four people would live.
Old Capulet should be punished. Old Capulet is forcing Juliet to Marry Paris against her will. “I think she will be ruled/ In all respects by me; nay, more, I doubt it not” (Shakespeare 111.vi.13-14). This quote shows that he should be punished because he is telling Paris that she will respect him and do anything he says. The next reason Old Capulet should be punished is… Old Capulet is Disowning Juliet when she will not marry Paris. “I tell thee what- get thee to church a Thursday/Or never after look me in the face”(Shakespeare III.v 161-162). Old Capulet is making her go away if she does not marry someone he wants, but she does not.
Lord Capulet enters juliet's chamber hoping that the news of her wedding would cheered her up but instead he's told that she objects his wishes. So in rage Lord Capulet shouts, ”Hang thee, young baggage! Disobedient wretch! I tell thee what, get thee to church o’ thursday, or never after look at me in the face:”(III.v.160-162). Lady Capulet wants Juliet to marry paris so he says, ”marry my child, early next thursday morn the gallant, young and noble gentleman,”(III.v.112-113). “Talk not to me, for I’ll not speak a word: do as thou with, for I have done with thee.”(III.iv.133). First i thought that only lady Capulet was bad to juliet but as soon as he heard what juliet did he got so angry, he made her cry and he used all those words, it made her feel really bad, Lord Capulet made her think that she made the wrong decision by marrying Romeo, before he said that paris should win her heart and get juliet to like him but now he's forcing her to get married, what was the point of saying all of that if in the end she would have to marry paris anyways and he wa being very hypocritical. Lady Capulet just wants Juliet to get married to Paris, she doesn't care if Juliet does not care that Juliet is in love with Romeo she wants to force her to get married just because she like Paris and she wants her to be a mother. Romeo and juliet should be read because it explain how bad parenting is a good thing/ tells parents of what not to do and they can learn from their
In Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, Apothecary should be pardoned. Apothecary or the pharmacist who sold the poison to Romeo should be pardoned because he sold that poison for living his life. According to the story the apothecary, he knows that it is a fault to sell the poison to the other person in Mantua and he didn’t want to sell it. “I have such deadly poisons. But it’s the death-penalty to sell them in Mantua.”
This sort of behaviour is to be expected from Lord Capulet, because he feels he has done an excellent job in securing his daughter’s future with a perfect husband, and now Juliet is throwing his best efforts in his face. He highlights how hard he has worked in finding an
When Romeo is banished, Lord Capulet tells his daughter that she will marry County Paris. When Juliet says that she is grateful, but refuses, Capulet says “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 to much and that we have a curse in having her. Out on her, hilding!”(Act 3 Scene 5). Then he continues saying, “God’s bread! It makes me mad. Day, night, hour, tide, time, work, play, alone, in company, still my care hath been to have her matched. And having now provided a gentleman of noble parentage, of fair demesnes, youthful, and nobly trained, stuffed, as they say, with honorable parts, proportioned as one’s thought would wish a man-and then to have some wretched puling fool, a whining mammet, in her fortune’s tender, to answer “I’ll not wed,” “I cannot love,” “I am to young,” “I pray you pardon me.”-But, an you will not wed, I’ll pardon you. Graze where you will, you shall not house with me. Look to’t, think on’t, I do not use to jest. Thursday is near. Lay hand on heart, advise. An you be mine, I’ll give you to my friend. An you be not, hang, beg, starve,die in the streets, for, by my soul, I’ll ne’er acknowledge thee, nor what is mine
Lord Capulet should've been able to make her own decisions. Instead it's pretty much marry Paris or die. If you look at what Lord Capulet said right here in Act III, Scene 5- "And be you not, hang, beg, starve, die in the streets, For, by my soul, I'll ne'er acknowledge thee, Nor what is mine shall never do thee good." Kids should be able to make their own decisions and mistakes so they're responsible for
when Juliet comes home from Friar laurence's cell she then goes to her dad and apologizes for being so disobedient to him and tells him that she will marry Paris. so Capulet then says how wonderful it is and then he tells her that instead of the wedding being on Thursday it'll be move to Wednesday (which is the next day). Lady Capulet then said that Wednesday is too soon and it should stay till Thursday but then Juliet insist that the wedding should be Wednesday
In the drama of The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, Lord and Lady Capulet’s fatal flaw of selfishness aids in causing the ending tragedies. This is due to their selfish actions towards Juliet and then the resulting consequences. When Lady Capulet announces to Juliet that she will marry Paris, a man she does not love, Juliet refuses by saying “Not 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. 164-166). By Juliet simply stating that she doesn’t wish to marry Paris, Lord Capulet is infuriated. He shouts at her: “ To go with Paris to Saint Peter’s church,/ Or I will drag thee on a hurdle thither” (III. v. 173-174). By yelling at Juliet for her own decision in the marriage matter, the Capulets’
First of all, Lord Capulet should be punished. He was a forceful person and tried forcing Juliet to marry Prince, which she didn’t want to do. Second, Lord Capulet was verbally abusive towards Juliet. When she did something he didn’t like he would yell at her and say horrible things to her. An example of something he had said to her is, “Or never look me in the face. Speak not; reply not; do not answer me.” (3.5.162-163). Last, he had threatened to throw Juliet out of the house when she refused to marry Prince, but she tells him she is far too young to get married and isn’t ready. These reasons are why Lord Capulet deserves to be punished.
This shows that Juliet is desperately trying to tell her father what she wants but men didn't really care about women's opinions. Lord Capulet replies with more threats and saying that if Juliet doesn't go to marry Paris next Thursday he will disown her.
