Subject: Romeo shouldn’t marry Juliet.
Dear Romeo,
Ask yourself this question; is it really a wise choice to marry Juliet? You claim love at first sight is what you’ve experienced and that Juliet’s the most beautiful girl you’ve ever encountered. When take this into thought, is she as great as you make her out to be? It’s simple, don’t marry her. You’ll be conducting yourself a favor. To be truly honest, it might even save numerous lives. Not only are you ruining Juliet’s life, but marriage at a young age isn’t reasonable. You claim its love, but you aren’t in love. Think of the consequences that will come, intertwined with this marriage. I honestly believe the choice of marrying Juliet, could possibly mean life or death.
Does the thought of marriage with Juliet, ever seem unreasonable? Take age into consideration. Being three ages apart and considering marriage, seems disastrous. She’s just turned fourteen, which means you’re almost four years apart. You sir, are quite disturbed. You’re an adult and she’s a child, this alone is unreasonable. It isn’t reasonable to marry at such young ages; it’s as if you’re just forcing marriage onto yourself. Since you’re both juvenile and inexperienced, I wouldn’t expect you to be in possession of any knowledge of what any reasonable relationship consists of. Since both you and Juliet lack wisdom, I understand why age isn’t a problem for you and that you believe experience together shouldn’t matter either. What else isn’t reasonable in my eyes is the duration of your “relationship”. Have you been together for three days? Even though a percentage of married couples only dated for a couple months, statistics show that an average couple usually takes three to five years before actually getting married. Scientists have proven that it takes more than four months to fall in love with someone as well. You’ve “loved “and been in a “relationship” with her for three days. You haven’t spent time

    Juliet’s perspective of love, marriage and relationships have changed throughout Romeo and Juliet. At the beginning of the play Juliet never thought about love or marriage and never considered love or marriage, for when her parents told her that they want her to marry Paris she asked how can I love someone if I don’t even know him. “I have never dreamed about marriage.” When Juliet’s family had a party Romeo snuck in and when Juliet saw him, she told the nurse that he is cute and she thinks she fell in love with Romeo at first sight. When Romeo started to sneak out and see Juliet the would talk about how they like each other but Juliet is still be cautious because she doesn’t know if they are going to feel about each other overnight, but the…

    Juliet’s attitude toward love and marriage changes drastically throughout Romeo and Juliet by going from not wanting love and marriage at all, to loving Romeo and wanting to marry him, and then doing anything to be with him no matter how much it hurts other people. In the beginning, Juliet doesn’t actually want to marry Paris but will do it if her mother wishes her to as she shows by saying “it is an honor that I dream not of” while Lady Capulet is talking to her about marriage. Later in the story, Juliet shows love for Romeo and wants to marry him and Romeo feels the same. By the end of the story, Juliet will do anything for Romeo’s love and to be with him as she shows by saying “this is thy sheath. There rust and let me die,” and she commits…

    When Nurse tells Juliet who Romeo is, Juliet says, "My only love sprung from my only hate! Too early seen unknown, and known too late! Prodigious birth of love it is to me that I must love a loathèd enemy" (61). When Romeo sees Juliet on the balcony later that night, or possibly the next morning, he says, "It is my lady. O, it is my love" (69). In real life, two mature people don't know for sure that they've fallen in love after talking for just a few minutes. Their immaturity is shown in these quotes because they think they are in love before they have spent any time together. Perhaps Romeo thinks he loves Juliet because she is the first girl he has approached who seems to like him back. Maybe he just likes her because of her beauty. Either way, if he were mature, he would not think he felt love for her so soon after first laying his eyes upon her. Juliet could think she loves Romeo because she is so used to being kept in her house and has not been exposed to many young men. This most likely causes her to think, since he could be the first boy who has directly flirted with her, that she loves him. Juliet is very immature in suggesting marriage to Romeo, not only because she is a girl, but also because she hasn't introduced him to her parents and because she doesn't know…

    Younger than you,/ Here in Verona, ladies of esteem,/ Are made already mothers. By my count,/ 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” (I.iii.73-78``). This quote is leading up to Capulet and Lady Capulet pushing Paris on Juliet and telling her that it is time to get married. When Paris and marriage are in the same sentence, you know that they are trying to start something. Juliet is not in love with Romeo. This quote shows a man that is well above her age being forced on her that she hasn’t even met or has made an emotional connection with yet. Juliet is also very emotional but not as emotional as Romeo is. Juliet is just in love with having a choice in men, not with Romeo. There was nothing special about Romeo. He was just a boy that she liked and didn’t waste any time getting to know him before they got married. Then again, Juliet probably didn’t know any better and getting married sooner than later was justifiably okay for the time period that the play takes place in. The play Romeo and Juliet takes place around…

    Nomads were wanderers that had no technical home. Four groups of nomads were the Turks, Afghan and Seljuk, the Vikings, the Mongols, and the Huns. When the Mongols went to Europe, they brought the Bubonic Plague; they caused the reunification of the Russians, and helped start Pax Mongolica. They allowed the conquered to keep their ways of life and religions as long as they obeyed the foreign rulers. The decentralization of Japan and Western Europe was helpful and a hindrance by being more organized, using feudalism and causing more chaos.…

    Romeo and Juliet

    Romeo and Juliet were enamored with one another at first sight and their forbidden love fueled their intense passion for each other. After marriage, they spent one night together (in which Juliet lost her virginity) before Romeo left for Mantua as a repercussion for killing Tybalt. “And for that offense/ Immediately do we exile him [Romeo] hence.”(3.2.189-190) His untimely decision to slay Tybalt cost him access to Verona and his wife, Juliet. Juliet’s parents, recognizing their daughter’s grief (ironic because Juliet was mourning over Romeo’s banishment, not Tybalt’s death), arranged her to marry the “County” Paris. “”Marry my child, early next Thursday morn/ The gallant, young, and noble gentleman, The County Paris, at Saint Peter’s Church, Shall happily make thee there a joyful bride.”(3.5.113-116) For Juliet to commit to another man while she was still married and in love with Romeo opposed everything she believed in and to sleep with another man was adultery. Juliet was torn between the internal humiliation and distraught over what she would face if she was…

    Coming of age happens at different ages for each human but its generally known as the transition from being a child to becoming an adult. It is a time where a person reflects on their own wants and goals, as well as, discovering who they are and finding a companion. When Juliet seeks her Nurse for help, she would do anything to protect her husband,“Oh God! O nurse, how shall this be prevented?/ My husband is on Earth, my faith in heaven” (3.5.216-217). Love is something that humans seek and for Juliet, Romeo was the person she saw as her other half. Her feelings for Romeo is a natural occurrence for humans and the control that love has over humans are regulated by a person’s maturity. If her parents did not introduce Juliet to the idea of marriage, her views for Romeo might not have occurred so soon. “But to be frank and give it thee again./ And yet I wish for the thing I have./ My bounty is as boundless as the sea,/ My love as deep. The more I give to thee,/ The more I have, for both are infinite” (2.2.138-142). Juliet is head over heels in love with Romeo and her feelings for Romeo completely control her emotions. Juliet then seeks acceptance of her relationship from her loved ones but does not receive what she hopes, which creates a whole different type of transitional…
