Romeo And Juliet Haste Quotes

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

“Unreasonable haste is the direct road to error”(Moliere). This quote mirrors a theme in William Shakespeare’s play, The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. This play is about two lovers from opposing families which make a series of reckless decisions which lead to the death of many people including themselves. In William Shakespeare’s play, he conveys through the motif of hasty decisions that, while the quick decisions which are caused by emotions may seem appealing, ultimately these decisions have repercussions and lead to violence of others. Lust, hatred, and sadness are all emotions which have immense consequences when they guide one’s decisions.

Romeo and Juliet is one of the most tragic and depressing stories ever told. If you take the story from a different perspective and really think through some of the choices that were made leading up to their death you would see that Romeo and Juliet made some foolish decisions that caused their deaths. Foolishness is at fault for the death of Romeo and Juliet because he went to the Capulet party and kissed Juliet, after the party he went to Juliet’s balcony and talked to her until the morning, and he also took Juliet’s virginity.

Juliet’s parents’ lack of knowledge of their daughter’s love life contributes to her death. In Act 3 Scene 5 Lady Capulet walks in on Juliet crying and assumes the tears are for her deceased cousin Tybalt. Shakespeare uses dramatic irony while Lady Capulet and Juliet speak about Romeo. Juliet says to her mother “Indeed, I shall never be satisfied / With Romeo, till I behold him –dead” The reader knows, while Lady Capulet is unaware, that Juliet is speaking about him in a loving way rather than wishing him dead. Also in this scene Lady and Lord Capulet tell Juliet that they have arranged for her to marry Paris. When Juliet refuses her father yells at her and accuses her of being ungrateful. The Capulets are not aware that Juliet is already married therefore are not understanding of her wishes to

The parents sadly watch their children being carried into the family tomb. The play, by William Shakespeare, displays the relationships of Romeo and Juliet. This drama takes place in Verona, Italy, where the Capulets and Montagues are feuding. Poor relationships, deceit, and poor advice leads to tragedy. The teenagers relationships with their families are soon tested.

As Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “The old law of ‘an eye for an eye’ leaves everybody blind.” By this, King is implying that revenge does not solve any issues, but instead affects multiple people who are involved in a conflict. Revenge is defined as the act of harming someone for any aggression towards another. “The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet,” written by William Shakespeare, gives an excellent example that the thirst for vengeance can ruin everyone who is connected. Some examples of the play are Romeo and Tybalt, whose actions caused them to meet an unfaithful end. Their actions, which were guided by hatred, not only affected them, but both of their families. Romeo and Tybalt’s actions show that revenge itself can lead to great losses,

Romeo and Juliet one the most famous stories about love by William Shakespeare. Romeo and juliet were a pair of star crossed lovers who were destined to take their lives, for the sake that it will end a feud between their two families. Romeo’s family were the montagues and Juliet’s family were the capulets. If Romeo and juliet wouldn’t of killed themselves for the feud, they wouldn’t of been of happy together. Romeo was so quick to act in every situation, so he couldn’t really control his emotions. Both of them barely knew each other , and they only knew each other for four days and only loved each other for beauty. I don’t even think Romeo and Juliet truly even loved each other.

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

“Wisely and slow – they stumble that run fast” a wise priest warns one passionate lover, Romeo as he stumbles to share the news of the accepted marriage. Unfortunately for the characters, none of them seem to take these wise words in consideration. Passionate love and passionate hate propel the characters to immediate, and irrational actions. A perfect example of impatience in this play is when Romeo comes to the conclusion that his lover Juliet is lifeless. He hastily takes his life without stopping to think of the consequences. If he had been patient, and rational he and his love could have been together on earth. But because of his drastic measures, when Juliet awoke seeing Romeo partly

In the story, Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare uses Haste to illustrate the quick and impulsive decisions the characters make which trigger the tragic events. At one point in the story Romeo and Juliet agree to get married and ask Friar Laurence to marry them and that's when in Act 2, scene 6 Friar Laurence says “ These violent delights have violent ends and their triumph die, like fire and powder, which as they kiss consume: the sweetest honey is loathsome in his own deliciousness and in taste confounds the appetite: Therefore Love moderately; long love doth so; Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow”(23). Here we see Friar Laurence warning Romeo and Juliet about what there love can transform into and what can be the tragic consequences. The

The Danger of Haste Romeo and Juliet is a long adored tragedy written by the ever famous--and talented--William Shakespeare. The play tells the untimely story of two star-crossed lovers who ultimately choose their love, over life itself. In the chorus of the play Shakespeare announces “From forth the fatal loins of these two foes”--the Capulet and Montague family rivals-- “A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life, whose misadventured piteous overthrows, Doth with their death bury their parents’ strife.” The two families’ feud prevents Romeo and Juliet from ever truly being together. Powerful endearment and animosity drive the characters of Romeo and Juliet to spend their days filled with decisions of haste; committing suicide rather

When in reality it was the rush and push that made Juliet want to kill herself. Juliet couldn't think of a better solution for her situation because she had no time to do so. In saying this Juliet was also very haste in making the decision to commit suicide. The Capulets thought that if she married Paris that it would help her deal with the death of Tybalt. If Lord and Lady Capulet had it their way Juliet and Paris would have been married Tuesday morning.

too fast and that they should probably slow down but she is still going to go with it. They should of slowed down and let their families know about what they wanted to do. They could have united the two families which would have erased the fight were Romeo kills Tybalt and would have prevented the young couple from doing foolish things like having a fake death and committing suicide which bring me to my next point. Romeo and Juliet commit a lot of foolish acts but none as bad as these.

The world moves so fast, but the haste in people’s decisions lead to dreadful consequences. These haste decisions have become the downfall of the world. This is shown in the play “Romeo & Juliet”, where two star-crossed lovers are forced to keep their love a secret from their families. Also forcing them to get married in secret then to never live together. Shakespeare shows the audience how making hasty decisions may lead to dire consequences through Juliet’s decision to marry Romeo, Juliet’s choice to drink the potion given to her by Friar Lawrence, and Juliet’s decision to kill herself with Romeo’s dagger.

When decisions are rushed negative consequences are sure to arise, “Wisely and slow, they stumble fast that run,” advises given from Friar Laurence of William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Several rash decisions are shown in full effect over the course of the play. The entire play is over a span of five days. Five days is not nearly enough time to get to know someone, fall in love with them, and get married. This haste in marriage plays a key role in the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, and although fate takes a role in the play, Romeo and Juliet's hasty and reckless decision making ultimately lead to their demise.
