Romeo and Juliet is hailed as a staple of romantic literature, with beautiful prose and loving relationships. However, while its language is eloquent, Romeo and Juliet’s relation is the antithesis of a good relationship. Any relationship which involves both parties ending up dead within a few days of meeting each other is probably not healthy. It’s clear both of them rushed into it based on superficial reasons and stupidity ended it early.…
If they never had gotten married, none of this would have ever happened. Juliet would have just married Paris instead of faking her death for Romeo. Also Romeo wouldn't have cared if Juliet had died and just lived on his life instead of killing himself. “Then plainly know my heart's set on the fair daughter of rich Capulet.” (Shakespeare 410). This was a quote from which when Romeo had asked the Friar to marry him and Juliet. If this had never happened it would have saved many lives in this story. This was another reason why I blame Friar for all of the casualties in the…
Romeo and Juliet could have made so many better decisions throughout their marriage. One of the decisions they could have made was just being honest with their parents. Being honest with your parents goes a long way and brings a whole lot less stress to your life because you don't have to worry about them finding out. Another decision they would have made is to just move slower. I believe that they moved way too fast into marriage; they didn't even get to know one another before deciding to marry one another.…
Ultimately Capulet shouldn’t have put so much pressure on Juliet’s marriage. This lead to Romeo and Juliet committing suicide. I believe that Capulet had terrible parenting skills because he was abusive and Lady Capulet didn’t do anything about it. Juliet was not ready for marriage and was clearly uncomfortable with marrying Paris. He didn’t give her the freedom of choice or let them date at all. In conclusion, Capulet should be more open towards Juliet’s marriage and should just end the feud between them and the…
Romeo again is fickle and is speedy when he sees Juliet for the first time and falls in love with her. Romeo fell in love with Juliet almost immediately and he didn’t even think to get to know her better first.…
In Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare Juliet’s dad wants her to get married to Paris, but Juliet doesn’t want to because she is married to Romeo. Arranged marriages is when the parents want their son or daughter to marry the person they choose for them. Arranged marriages by parent should not be allowed because children should be able to pick who they want to be with. In cases the couple rarely know each other before their marriages. Love is not the first priority with arranged marriages other factors such as social or economic status are more important.…
Love at first sight is a simple concept. However, it can be experienced at many different levels of love. In Romeo and Juliet, the moment Romeo sees Juliet, he immediately devotes himself to her. He says “The measure done, I’ll watch her place stand/ and touching hers, make blessed my rude hand. / Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight, / for I ne’er saw true beauty till this night” (Shakespeare 53). Shortly after Romeo meets Juliet, he immediately woos her and kisses her, forgetting entirely about Rosaline, his previous love. Their experience of love at firs sight was so intense that they forgot to even tell each other their names. Claudio and Hero’ experience of love at first sight is not quite as spectacular. When Claudio is talking to Prince about Hero he says “O, my lord, / when…
Romeo first encounters Rosaline at the masquerade ball, he cannot help feeling mesmerized by Juliet. Romeo’s fascination of her leaves him sitting by her window, feeling mesmerized by Juliet’s eyes which are “Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven...To twinkle in their spheres till they return” who leave him in a state of enchantment (2.2.15). At first site Romeo and Romeo distinguishes that Juliet remains as his one true love. Romeo judges Juliet by her physical appearance instead of her personality. Additionally, Romeo experiences such great elation in being in love with Juliet that he will do anything to prove it, including the act of marriage. To demonstrate Romeo’s love for Juliet will not pass, Romeo seeks Friar Lawrence and “pray[s]: That thou consent marry [them] today” (2.3.60). Just like that, it takes two days for Romeo to come across his darling and decide on marriage. The bliss Romeo senses for Juliet stands sturdier than any pain felt formerly. All in all, the physical attractiveness of Juliet and marriage, a proof of his love, shows that young love can take place in a matter of days in the form of happiness.…
When Romeo and Juliet met, they fell in love immediately. As soon as they touched hands, they knew they wanted to get married. They were so close to each other that they would sacrifice anything for each other. Back in their days, people would marry very fast, but love would not be at its greatest. Juliet's parents thought she would marry Paris, whom she did not love.…
Another poorly made decision was when after knowing each other for a single day Romeo and Juliet decide to get married. The amount of flaws in their logic whilst deciding upon this course of action is numerous. First, after such a short amount of time they hardly know each other, second, before making such a huge step for their futures it would've been wise to first see if they could do anything to help end their families feuding so that they wouldn't have to keep their love a secret. Their secret marriage inescapably leads to many problems including that Juliet's dad wants her to…
Romeo and Juliet’s parents wanted them to get married to other people because they did not know about Romeo and Juliet’s relationship. If Romeo and Juliet were truthful about who they didn’t and did want to marry, then maybe their parents wouldn’t have forced them to marry other people. Also if Romeo and Juliet got married in public maybe it would break the feud because Romeo and Juliet would be disappointed in their family and their family would want them to be…
Their families are another thing. Their love was probably based on lust, but, when they found out that their families were sworn enemies, that probably fueled them forward. There's nothing like forbidden fruit, right? Juliet was also possibly looking for a way out of her arranged marriage, and marrying Romeo was a perfect way out of her family. For Romeo, he was just trying to get over that other girl. He was being pretty emotional, and probably wasn't really being himself. He was just looking for some kind of replacement. The thig about Romeo and Juliet is that the duo is old enough to think they know everything but young enough to not know anything. They are so cauht up in the moment that they can't see what's right and what's wrong, and so, they end up killing themselves for the other.…
People who are in love usually get to know each other before they get married or get into a serious relationship. You want to know who you will be spending the rest of your life with. Romeo and Juliet knew each other two days before they were married. They didn’t even try to get to know each other. When they first met they had to ask around for each other’s name. They didn’t know anything about each other. On the balcony Juliet barely knows his name but she starts talking about her love for him. Some people believe in love at first sight,…
The families being married caused havoc and chaos around the story of Romeo and Juliet. The rivalry caused them to have to runaway just so they could be married in secret. They couldn’t have an open and real religious ceremony. They couldn’t have little baby Romiettes and Julios. They couldn’t walk hand-in-hand throughout the town’s streets. If they were to, the families would possibly hate each other more instead of coming together. It would create a worse conflict between the families.…
Yes, i think they should have got married because it was the only option for them because they were too young. They're parents barely let them leave home, they were too young to leave. Juliet is only 13 and is too young to run away with romeo, both of their families disliked each other so the only thing to solve the feud was to get married. They were trying so hard to get the two families to get along. I kind of think marriage for them was a good thing even though that's not the only way out of their situation but for them it was meant to be.…
