Romeo And Juliet Destructive Love

Juliet and her father definitely had different ideas about her future relationships in this play. Back in that time period, the father of the family was the one who made important decisions for their children, which included who his daughter was allowed to get married to, even if they opposed their preference. So, in the play, Lord Capulet gives his approval to a man named Paris to marry his daughter because he had a promising future and was very prosperous and could provide Juliet with anything she might require. Although she had this option of spouse, she chose

To start off, Capulet, Juliet’s father, is introduced as a thoughtful and caring character but ends up giving Juliet the false pretence that he values her thoughts and opinions. In scene two, when he is offered a proposal for Juliet's hand in marriage, he replies saying “My will to her consent is but a part; / An she agree, within her scope of choice / Lies my consent and fair according voice.” (1.2.17-19), which indicates how he values Juliet’s choices. Though Paris is of a high status of power, Capulet is more concerned about Juliet’s happiness, with her being his only heir, than power at this point. Further on, there is a change of heart situated in Capulet. Previously he has made it clear that Juliet has a final say in marriage, but Capulet

At the beginning of the play Romeo is beyond upset when he finds that his love for Rosaline is not mutual. Romeo even moves into a depressed, mopey state, in which he locks himself in his room and cries constantly. (Act I, scene 1) Romeo moves on quickly and falls in love with Juliet based off of her astounding beauty at the Capulet party. (Act I, scene 5) The love between the two was shared and after only one night in the Capulet orchard they had fallen in love and agreed to marry the following morning. (Act II) Before Romeo, Juliet was a very independent woman and objected to marriage. Lady and Lord Capulet knew Paris was a good person and Juliet didn’t even consider giving him a chance at the party. (Act I, scene 3) Juliet also didn’t know anything about Paris. If she would have given him a chance and actually gotten to know him, she could have fallen in love with him rather than basing love off looks with Romeo. Romeo wasn’t a bad person, but he did lead Juliet to do and say things she wouldn’t normally say, like threatening to kill herself through desperation throughout the play and disobeying her parents. Parents who take the time to

Hate is one very important idea examined in Romeo and Juliet and is explored by Juliet when she states ‘Here's much to do with hate, but more with love’ (1.1.166). William Shakespeare conveys the consequences of hate in his play through the ancient feud between the Capulet’s and the Montague’s, the irrational decisions made and the deaths that resulted. It is the ancient feud between the two families that lead to the irrational decisions made by Romeo and Juliet as well as their demise. It is questionable as to whether Romeo and Juliet’s lives would be spared if their families were not feuding.

At first, Lord Capulet wants Juliet to decide if she wants Paris. Then later, Capulet wants cheer Juliet up, after her cousin Tybalt dies. He decides to arrange a marriage between her and Paris. Juliet is actually more upset over her husband, Romeo, for being banished. Later, Lady Capulet breaks the news to Juliet about her marriage to Paris and Juliet is very unhappy. Lady Capulet tells Lord Capulet about her reaction and he gets very angry. Capulet gets into a big argument with Juliet. He threatens Juliet that she will marry Paris or die on the streets ( Act III, Scene V, Lines 160 - 195). Juliet’s parents and even her servant, who helped marry Romeo, really want her to marry Paris. Juliet, becoming desperate to stop her marriage, goes to Friar Lawrence and they make up a risky plan. This plan ultimately leads to her and Romeo’s

In the tragic play, Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, numerous instances of relationships are seen throughout the course of this play. Lord Capulet, Juliet’s father, has a weak and difficult relationship with his daughter. This difficult relationship is not visible until Lord Capulet learns of Juliet’s love for Romeo. Lord Capulet transforms from a loving and protective character to an abusive and commanding character. This dramatic shift of behavior is caused in part by Juliet’s obsessive-like love for Romeo. Romeo thrusts Juliet into a whirlwind of passion and desire causing Juliet’s impulsive actions that in turn angers her father. Lord Capulet’s change in demeanor to that of abuse and dominance is in response to the change in obedience and conduct of Juliet.

Paris was not a bad match for Juliet and she could’ve lived a luxurious life with her family and friends- had she obeyed her parents. While her marriage with Romeo is completely irrational because of the fact that both families would never agree to it and it would lead to acts of violence and mishap. “But woo her, gentle Paris, get her heart; My will to her consent is but a part…” (I.ii.16-17).

The stories of lovers who believed in each other and their love even if the whole world was against them still inspire and often, make us sad. A closer investigation of the greatest love stories in history reveals that many of the most famous lovers met a tragic end. They did, however, show us that true love is stronger than anything else in the world. And it is the love that they had we are all hopping to find someday. Of course, with a happier ending.

Juliet is rebelling against her planned marriage with Paris, and when she does this she is rebelling against her mother’s life and choice to marry her father. Also, Lady Capulet is a respected lady who follows her husband’s rules and demands. Another reason that Lady Capulet presented her own daughter could be because she is expected to obey her husband in any situation, “ Talk not to me, for I’ll not speak a word.” . Lady Capulet has become resentful to her daughter, for reasons unknown, but no mother should disregard their daughter, especially when she threatens to take her own

The issue was Juliet did not love him for she was at that point was in love with another man. When she declined to wed Paris her father almost abandoned her. “Graze where you will, you shall not house with me” Capulet, page 98 “I'll give you to my friend; an you be not, hang, beg, starve, die in the streets” Capulet page 98. This affected Juliet relationship with Romeo because then she would have to wed

Sadie Frost once said, “When you love someone so much that you are in pain when you are apart, it ends up being destructive.” In ‘The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet’, ‘The Story of Layla and Majnun’, and ‘The Story of Pyramus and Thisbe’ love is a destructive thing. In all three stories, two people die due to their forbidden love. Love causes destructiveness by death in ‘The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet’. Destructiveness is shown in both Majnun and Layla’s lives.

It is clear that Juliet changes from dutiful to disobedient when she refuses to marry the County Paris, ignoring her parents’ wishes. Juliet harshly tells Lord and Lady Capulet, “He shall not make me there a joyful bride. / I wonder at this haste; that I must wed / … I will not marry yet” (3.5.118-119,122). This quote demonstrates that Juliet is not the dutiful girl she once was, she is now very disobedient. The reason why she does not want to marry Paris is because she wants to stay a loyal wife to Romeo- who she secretly marries. This is a very sneaky act, thus affecting her relationship with her parents, who are taken aback over the fact that Juliet is not respecting their commands. Since Juliet does not want to marry Paris, her parents are extremely frustrated by her disobedience. This situation escalates quickly when Lord Capulet hits Juliet for her unexpected act. In Elizabethan times, men are always in charge of what takes place in the household. In Juliet’s case, Lord Capulet is in charge of her decisions. Her defying him proves her disobedience to her controlling father. As a result of their secret relationship, Juliet’s husband, Romeo, changes throughout the play as well.

After Juliet meets Romeo, many of her opinions and interests begin to change. Juliet is now more excepting of love. While in the beginning of the play, The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, Juliet seems uninterested in loving anyone. But, after she meets Romeo, her opinion changes. Juliet is now more willing to love. She even confesses her love to Romeo on her balcony by saying, "Take all myself" (2.2.49). Juliet's interests in marriage also changes when she meets Romeo. Before Juliet had met Romeo, she was uninterested in marriage, "It is an honor that I dream not of." (1.3.66). Juliet had said this to her mother, Lady Capulet, when the general topic of marriage was being discussed. But after the feast where Juliet met Romeo, she tells him in her garden that she wishes to be married. She came to this decision to accept marriage because of the fact that she met and now loves Romeo. Juliet's is no longer as faithful to her family through compliance after she meets Romeo. Juliet is no longer as obedient to her family. When her father, Lord Capulet, tells her that he has arranged for Juliet to be married to Paris, she objects. By doing this she is being faithful to her own morals and being faithful to her husband. She is willing to comfort her father, Lord Capulet, in order to have what she believes is right and stay faithful to her husband even though her father threatens to disown her.

Juliet was brought up to dislike the Montagues without proper reason why. She cannot love Romeo, for his name is the enemy. Juliet brings awareness to this subject as she states, “My only love sprung from my only hate! . . . Prodigious birth of love it is to me that I must love a loathed enemy” (Shakespeare 84). Juliet knows she is not to love or be in contact with a Montague. She still continues to brawl for Romeo, even when she knows her parents will be furious if they found out. Had there not been a feud, there would be no need for Romeo and Juliet to hide their love. In the end of the book the two families resolve their differences, however it is still too late to save the young lovers.
