In the tragedy, Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare wrote that Juliet married Romeo without the consent of her father, Lord Capulet. Without Lord Capulet having that knowledge, it was reasonable for him to find a husband for his daughter. When he was angry with Juliet for not being happy about the arrangement of marrying Paris, it was rude to yell at her the way he did. He had no thoughts on how she would feel, and did what he thought would be best, thinking of nobody but himself in the process of what he thought was his duty. Lord Capulet is a well intended father who thought he was only doing what he was born to do. When caught in the problem of finding a husband for Juliet, Lord Capulet took it too far by rejecting Juliet’s thoughts and feelings, and imposing his intentions.…
Romeo and Juliet had both been mainly at fault in the devastating turn of events. One way in which the horrid occurrences make Juliet responsible responsible, is that Romeo and Juliet had managed to keep their feelings for each other from their families, for the simple reason that their parents were in the middle of an intense feud. Romeo and Juliet didn't put forth effort to explain to the Capulets and Montagues how they viewed their affectionate feelings. “Prodigious birth of love it is to me That…

In the Play, “Romeo and Juliet”, Juliet`s relationship with her parents is very different from Romeos relationship with his parents .Romeos parents are both loving and understanding of his feelings. For example, on lines (210-211) it says, “Alas, my liege, my wife is dead tonight! Grief of my son`s exile hath stopped her breath”. This shows that even though Romeo and his parents aren’t that close, it still caused the grief of the father, and death of the mother. The relationship between Juliet and her parents is much different. For example, on lines (80-88) Lady Capulet is trying to convince Juliet to marry Paris because Juliet is already considered “old”, and because Paris has the looks, and money. For example, on lines (act I, sc.II, ln.77) Lady says, “Verona`s summer hath not such a flower”. This shows that her mother is more worried about marrying her off to a guy that has the looks and money, instead of letting Juliet choose what, and who she wants.…
The star-crossed lovers believe they are destined to be together, but their family rivalries prevent them from being with one another. However, unlike Hermia and Lysander’s merry tale, Romeo and Juliet’s story has a melancholy ending, with the Princes scolding the families saying “See what a scourge is laid your hate, That heaven finds means to kill your joys with love” (5:3:292-293). If the families had not prevented romeo and juliet from being together the teens would not have killed themselves. The whole issue could have been prevented, if the families perspectives on each other was not so childish. The reasoning for their hatred is never explained making the fighting even more pointless.…
Today, around four out of ten marriages end in divorce. Television host, Dr.Phil, states that children who are raised by one parent are more likely to suffer from Abuse. Comparing this information to parents from the late 1500's, when divorce was almost unheard of, children still suffered from different kinds of abuse and neglect from the influence of their parents. An example of this is when Capulet find's out that his daughter Juliet does not wish to marry Prince, he tells her "Hang thee, young baggage! Disobedient wretch!…
depicts his idea of how it is important and necessary parents should be communicating with their children. Shakespeare felt like the adversity involving teenagers like the one that takes place in the play can be prevented if parents were more emotionally attached to their children. In relation To my father thought it, the boy seems he is distant with the father. It hints that they may have a strained relationship. As a result to this strained relationship, it had made him want to get a piercing “ring of silver in my ear”, performing a rebellious act, but why? The fact that he was a teenager, it is most likely he wanted to get his attention or provoke him. He perhaps wanted to prove a point, showing his father that he is a ‘big boy,’ presuming…
In Romeo and Juliet, the children of two rival families, Romeo and Juliet, fall in love but their families cannot know. Romeo is banished by Juliet’s family for murdering their kinsman which greatly builds tension between their families. This leads to Romeo and Juliet’s suffering because they are no longer allowed to see each other. Although it can be argued otherwise, Juliet’s suffering in the play is truly larger than Romeo’s.…
In the article “Sometimes Parents Just Don’t Understand,” the author describes the relationship between teenagers and their parents as… . The anonymous author states that parents are seen as “old-fashioned and protective” and not “empathizing” (P. 2, 6). As a result, teenagers and parents are having a hard time listening to each other because they have different mindsets because teenagers have a “semi-matured mind,” which makes them “act on impulse” and do rash things (P. 6). Parents, on the other hand, have a mature mind, but have trouble being empathetic and understanding their children. When Capulet does not understand Juliet in William Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet, problems arise because of the lack of communication between them.…
Romantic love and Parental love are different types of love.Romeo and Juliet are two types of people that are different but also the same. Romeo will fight for his family and will kill if anyone makes him sad. Romeo killed Tybalt because Tybalt killed Mercutio. If someone killed a person you love whether your loved one is a friend or family member right in front of you for hating each other. Tybalt knew he was going to get revenge but that did not turn out well but still Romeo got kicked out and banned out of Verona.…
How are the parents accountable for the death of Romeo and Juliet? This is the story of a ancient story between two people named the montagues and the capulets. The play show the things over 5 days where Romeo meets and gets in love with Juliet, but Juliet's father has a different plan and plans to marry Juliet to the princes Paris. This would have been good for the time when the play was set and so an arrange marriage would have been no (like another day) for Juliet or the audience of the play. But Juliet decides not to marry Paris because she has already married Romeo in secret by the friar lawrence. only friar Lawrence no but not Juliet's father. Juliet has…
There are many negative perspectives that can be taken from ‘Romeo and Juliet’ that illustrate on the cost of love, in their case one of them is their parental disapproval for both Romeo and Juliet. In the text Shakespeare uses rhetorical questions, religious and visual imagery to explain the parental disapproval of both the Capulet and Montague family. Juliet’s own use of rhetorical questions, ‘What’s in a name?’, is an indication of her searching for a way to distance her love, Romeo, from the hatred of their conflicting and feuding families. Romeo uses of religious and visual imagery, ‘Call me but love, and I’ll be new baptised’, The use of visual imagery, ‘Had I it written, I would tear the word’, portrays the idea of the costs outweighing the rewards, he is willing to sacrifice family loyalty to secure his love with Juliet. For both Romeo and Juliet to be together they must pay the ultimate cost rather than a reward of celebrating their love with family.…
The play, ‘Romeo and Juliet’ written by William Shakespeare, has many contrasts, all that cause a big impact in the play. We see it all throughout the play, but none more than love verses hate, mainly seen in both the Capulet’s and Montague families. We have both hate between the two families, and yet we see Romeo and Juliet being ‘star crossed lovers’, we see love in each individual family, and hate when they are put together.…
