Romeo And Juliet Love And Family Essay

The ideas of love and family are popular in literature and often express the writer's own feelings on them. Shakespeare is a famous playwright who would often cover these subjects. It is often debated how Shakespeare viewed these ideas because of some of his contradicting works. However in his works, Shakespeare often has lovers put in struggle and families that do not seem to care. Shakespeare takes a negative outlook on how family much family cares for and knows about each other, and also how loves drives people to do crazy things, but everyone has a match.
Firstly, Shakespeare takes a very negative outlook on family and how much its members care about each other's wants and needs. In most of his stories the family either ignores each other or will force each other into doing things that they do not want to, this can be seen in Romeo and Juliet here,¨Capulet: Monday ha! Well, Wednesday is too
For instance Juliet and Romeo in Romeo and Juliet,¨Juliet: Give me my Romeo, and when I shall die, take him and cut him out in little stars¨(Shakespeare 3.2.23-24), both of the are a little strange but they love each other even with those things. Then in Twelfth Night, “Duke: Here is my hand: you shall from this time be your master’s mistress” (Twelfth 5.1.346-47), Viola and the Duke are both odd and spend the book trying to find love and in the end they find it in each other. Even in Taming of the Shrew where the characters start by hating each other they end up liking each other, “Petruchio: Why, there’s a wench! Come on, and kiss me, Kate.” (Taming 5.2.196), Petruchio has been training Katherine, Kate, throughout the play and now they are finally happy with each other instead of trying to claw out the others throat. “If Romeo’s being is in his physical parts, then so too is Juliet’s, and their love nothing more that Mercutio supposes.” (Joseph S. M. J.
