Quoted by Paul Coelho; “Those have most power to hurt us, that we love.” This quote signifies many things beside love, it represents honor and resentment. When a person that we love lashes out at us, or hurts us we either resent them or honor them. The book Romeo and Juliet is an excellent demonstration of love because it consists of my types. In the acts one through three, I found six types of love that were demonstrated. Throughout this essay I will be covering a wide variety of information. I will be explaining types of love I found and I will defend this quote. The first type of love I found was a love of violence. This love is one of the most confusing because it has no type of emotion, only thought. When creating violence people only …show more content…
This love is shown by four people, first by Romeo and his father, Friar Lawrence. Romeo’s father is worried about him, his heart has recently been broken by a girl he had a crush on, Rosaline. In scene one of act one, page 25, Romeo quotes; “She is too fair, too wise, wisely too fair, To merit bliss by making me despair.” In this quote he is saying that Rosaline is beyond beautiful to him, and what makes her happy, gives him great sadness. Friar Lawrence is happy for his son, Romeo, that he is better after Rosaline breaking his heart. This is one demonstration of parental love. Another demonstration of parental love is Juliet and her nurse. Parental love is not just shown from parent to child but also from a child or adult that shows emotional love in a parental or childly way. Juliet’s nurse has raised her and claims that Juliet is the prettiest she has ever …show more content…
The scene starts with a party, Romeo has come with a request from Mercuito. Mercuito is worried about Romeo because of how Rosaline has affected him. Mercuito has told Romeo to free himself from Rosaline and to go look a other girls. On page 25, “By giving liberty unto thine eyes. Examine other beauties.” Tybalt and Capulet have spotted Romeo, a Montague at their party. The Capulet’s and the Montague’s are both rich families but great enemies. Tybalt spots Romeo and wants to make him leave; he is a villain and was not accepted. Luckily, the Capulet sees that Romeo is simply having fun and not doing any harm, and lets him stay. On page 55 when Tybalt spots Romeo he says to Capulet this; “Uncle, this is a Montague, our foe, A villain that is hither come in spite To scorn at our solemnity this night.” Tybalt doesn’t want anything to happen, such as an attack that will embarrass them. With luck Romeo is allowed to stay and sees Juliet for the first
Throughout the play, “The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet”, many different types of love are shown, however, I believe loyal, parental love, and romantic love are the most popular and influential types of love throughout the story. The Capulets and Montagues show loyalty for their house, the friar shows parental love for Romeo as the nurse shows parental love for Juliet, and Romeo and Juliet show romantic love for each other. These three types of love, loyal love, parental love, and romantic love, show many similarities to one another as they do differences.
In the early stages of Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare conveys love in many different ways. Love is shown as being imperfect, such as bawdy love, unrequited love and fatherly and maternal love, this contrasts greatly to Romeo and Juliet’s pure, perfect and requited love, and makes it seem all the more true before it is shown to be deadly.
First, Romeo’s kind and calm personalities act as an advantage for many of the possible problems he could have had, such as Capulet hatred towards him and his increase in violence. After Romeo was depressed because he liked Rosaline and she didn’t like him back, his cousin Benvolio helped Romeo sneak into a Capulet party so he could get over Rosaline and pick another woman that he might want. As Romeo was describing how Juliet looked to his cousin, Tybalt, Capulet’s nephew, figured out that Romeo was at the party by his voice. He then confronted Capulet and asked him if he could kill him, but surprisingly Capulet lets him stay at the party and calls Romeo a gentleman and a good man (Shakespeare Act 1 Scene 1 Line 64). Capulet could have captured him or even killed him, but he did not. Capulet stated that Romeo is a well-governed youth and that Romeo is a good man, which shows that Romeo isn’t a person who would cause a commotion and that he causes no threat to the Capulet family. Later on, as Mercutio, the prince's kinsman, is arguing and fighting with Tybalt about him being one of his villain Romeo’s friends, Romeo comes in and says, “Tybalt, the reason I have to love thee doth much excuse the appertaining rage to such greeting. Villain am I none.Therefore farewell. I see thou knowest me not” (Shakespeare Act 3 Scene 1 Line 58). As Tybalt wants to fight Romeo and bring in violence,
Romeo is a melodramatic 16-year old that lets his downheartedness over Rosaline take over when he sees Juliet. Romeo is unhappy, as Rosaline decided to stay chaste, and then he meets Juliet and he sees that she is looks attractive and wants to make irresponsible decisions. Romeo gives a perfect example of his irresponsible, lustful identity when he says this, “Did my heart love till now? / Forswear it, sight! For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night”(Shakespeare,
Romeo is shown to be poetic and romantic. He and his friends are on their way to the Capulet party when his friends encourage him to dance, but he refuses. He is still sad about Rosaline, the woman he loves. She doesn’t love him back as she has plans to become a nun. Romeo says, “Is love really
In the poem, Juliet expresses three main traits: caution, passion, and loyalty. Juliet is extremely cautious when it comes to Romeus as she worries that his intentions are misguided. She demonstrates this when she proclaims, “But if by wanton love and by unlawful suit You think in ripest years to pluck my maidenhood's dainty fruit, You are beguiled.” (Lines 86-88). However, once Romeus assures her of his love for her, her loyalty can be clearly seen. Juliet vows that she will remain loyal by stating, “Both me and mine I will all whole to you betake, And following you whereso you go, my father's house forsake.” (Lines 84-85). Essentially, she would abandon her family to be with him. Finally, her passion ties in with her desires. The author notes that “of both that she rejoicéd more” and she says, “For you, mine own, once dead, what joy should I have here?” These quotes not only demonstrate her passion for Romeus, but it also proves that above all else, she desires to be
In the beginning of the story, the Montagues and Capulets break out fighting in the middle of the street and they are told to stop their fighting or else they will be banished. Juliet is a Capulet, and her father is hosting a party. Romeo longing for his love Rosaline decides to crash the party. When Romeo meets Juliet, he instantly falls in love. But almost instantaneously Tybalt recognizes Romeo’s voice. “This, by his voice, should be a Montague. Fetch me my rapier, boy. What! Dares the slave. Come hither, covered with an antic face, To fleer and scorn our solemnity? Now, by the stock and honor of my kin. To strike him dead I hold it not a sin.” (1.5.53-58) From this moment on, Tybalt is out for Romeo.
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.
Romeo was in love with Rosaline a couple days before which he barely knew. And now he fell in love with Juliet in 1 day which he was with for only about a hour and a hour isn’t enough time to know someone a lot and to even love them. In Romeo and Juliet it also says “O she doth teach the torches to burn bright! It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night Like a rich jewel in an Ethiop's ear, Beauty too rich for use , for earth too dear! So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows, As yonder lady o’er her fellows shows The measure done, I’ll watch her of stand, And, touching hers, make blessed my rude hand. Did my heart love till now?forswear it, sight.” This is part when Romeo crashes the Capulet party and see Juliet for the first time. Romeo in this piece of verse , Romeo was saying that he never saw anything more beautiful and he ask himself if he just fell in love which he was but he only fell in love for seeing her beauty not her personality. The two lovers would have to know each other more other than beauty and might now love each other and be happy because they would've found out who they actually were and how they act as individuals.
Tybalt’s purpose in the play is to cause conflict by dragging on the long time, since dormant feud between the two households. This is shown at the Capulet’s party when he goes to start a quarrel with the Montagues and Lord Capulet’s family stops Tybalt from starting trouble and says this is a time for love not war. Tybalt sees Romeo and straight away thinks of him as a threat and thinks that Romeo is challenging him by just being at the party. He brings Romeo’s presence to the attention of Lord Capulet in order to cause conflict. This is an example of how Tybalt is a character that does not have the ability to just forget about the whole feud and find a way to settle it; he just seeks revenge on any member of the Montague family.
In the play `Romeo and Juliet` the writer William Shakespeare uses the theme of love as a main feature to push the story along. Presented are a plethora of variations of love including family love, true love and courtly love. This essay aims to analyse these three types of love chosen.
The first kind of love shown in the play is teenage love through Romeo. Montague tells us that "Many a morning hath he (Romeo) been seen... adding to the clouds more clouds with his deep sighs." Romeo is often seen sighing showing that he is either depressed or in love. Romeo is both. He says he is "out of her favour where I am in love". He is "in love" with Rosaline but she has sworn herself to a life of chastity and does not return Romeo's love. Shakespeare mocks Romeo's infatuation with the
play “Romeo and Juliet” is about two lovers who eventually die because of failed love, caused by feuds between their families. Romeo and Juliet families tried to seperate the two lovers but it caused more problems. The two eventually got the idea, if they cannot be together they would rather die, so they can love each other in the afterlife. Plants played a role in portraying love and hate feelings in “Romeo and Juliet”. Plant imagery reinforces the idea of dangers of extremes, which can lead emotions to cloud reasoning.
“And you be 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. Trust to’t. Bethink you. I’ll not be forsworn” (Shakespeare 3. 5. ll 194-197). This ravaging quote depicts Capulet, lashing out on his emotionally deprived daughter Juliet, in Shakespeare’s play, Romeo and Juliet. This play is a tragedy set in Verona, a small Italian city state, that shows two families locked in a bitter hatred, as their children fall in love, and try to pursue their marriage against all odds. In this play, Romeo and Juliet both end up committing suicide, experiencing eternal anguish, but Juliet, feels another pain as well, her family being torn apart. As shown in the first quote,
