Romeo And Juliet Eassy
What happens when star-crossed lovers paths intertwine? Some may say happily ever after, but a happy beginning can lead to a tragic ending. When death is involved, it can be at anybody’s fault. Even the unexpected. In the play Romeo and Juliet,written by William Shakespeare, Shakespeare shows us a variety of characters that could have contributed to Romeo and Juliet’s death. In saying that, the character who mostly influenced the death of Romeo and Juliet is Lord Capulet because he was being very harsh and pushy. Now, seeing that Capulet is just wanting what is best for young Juliet, as if every parent is trying to do for their children, Capulet is kind of being a bit to pushy about it. In Act 3 scene 4, we see Paris asking for Juliet’s hand

in marriage. In the beginning Capulet had told Paris, “ My child is yet a stranger to the world...And too soon marred” (1.2.27) contemplating the idea of Juliet getting married at a young age. As we advance into Act 3 we see a slight change in Capulet's mind about Juliet being married and tells Paris, “...Acquaint her here of my son Paris’ love and bid her…” (3.5.155). When Capulet gave Paris the blessing, both couldn’t be more excited that they had both set up a date for the marriage. With the excitement in his, Capulet orders his wife, “Go you to Juliet ere you go to bed. Prepare her, wife, against this wedding day” (3.5.155). When juliet is against the marriage, Capulet pushes her to “... get to church o’ Thursday, Or never after look me in the face. Speak not; reply not; do not answer me” (3.5.167). Quiet pushy and harsh if ask.
If a teenage girl was told she was to married to a stranger, how would that make them feel?
As Juliet is now informed, by her mother, that she is to marry Paris, she denies the offer. Lady Capulet somewhat gives a lecture about her making a awful decision and tells her “Here comes your father. Tell him yourself, and see how he will take it at your hands” (3.5.165). When Capulet hears the new that Juliet doesn't want to marry Paris, he goes mad. “...Doth she not give us thanks? Is she not proud?... unworth as she is” (3.5.167) , “That God had lent us but this only child… this one is one too much… we have a curse in having her” (3.5.169). If this isn’t harsh, then what is? Juliet can’t bare that her father is mad at her as she beseeches for his forgiveness, he doesn't have at it “... I will drag thee on a hurdle thither…” (3.5.167). It is then that Juliet’s mother brings him out of the room to cool off. Juliet can't help but think of anything other than to do the wedding. The following day Juliet head to Friar Lawrence's cell and asks for help, and he does. Soon after, plan start to go down hill and a tragic death between Romeo and Juliet is shared.
While Romeo and Juliet ultimately took their own lives, it wasn't without the ones they revered most. The stylist writings of William Shakespeare are in the forms of tragedy. Some may say that this was the poor decision between the two of killing themselves, but some say one is at
fault.
