When people communicate poorly--or not at all--the lack of knowledge or understanding that results can cause unfortunate consequences and disastrous tragedies such as heartbreak--or even death. This is distinctly noticeable throughout the play The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet and the twenty-first century today. In Act III, Scene Five of the play, Lady Capulet finds Juliet weeping in her quarters. When she asks Juliet why she is crying, Juliet simply states: “Madam, I am not well.” Lady Capulet takes this as a sign that Juliet is weeping over her cousin’s death, even though Juliet neither affirms nor denies that she cries for Tybalt. When Lady Capulet obsesses on about revenge for Tybalt and Romeo being a villain, Juliet responds by stating,
For, by my soul, I’ll ne’er acknowledge thee, / Nor what is mine shall never do thee good” (3.5.194-195). This threat to disown his only daughter shows the severity of Capulet’s hot-headed nature. Had Capulet not exploded in the way that he did, Juliet would not have turned to death as a solution for her desperate state; she would not have killed herself, and the same would have been true for Romeo. Although Shakespeare may have wanted readers to believe that Romeo and Juliet were fortune’s fool, the evidence clearly shows that the obstinance, inconsistency, and quick-tempered nature of Capulet are to blame for the lovers’ tragic
Reply not. Do not answer me” (3.5.160-163). This quote demonstrates another instance of Lord Capulet’s ill behavior towards Juliet, which represented that he has little to no affection or care to his daughter. Only the marriage which is in his own personal gain. But, not only did Capulet contributed to Romeo & Juliet’s deaths, the quote exemplified the usage of foreshadowing.
This is said by the prince, as he banishes Romeo from Verona. This punishment had a large effect on both Romeo and Juliet. The banishment meant that Romeo and Juliet would be unable to see each other. Obviously, this would cause Juliet to be very upset, but she is unable to tell her parents why she is upset, so she lies, and says she is mourning from the loss of her cousin, Tybalt. In Spite of this information, Capulet arranges for Juliet to marry County Paris.
This shows how the communication was so poor towards both parties, which lead to even more misunderstanding and deaths. Also, rash judgement lead to the dreadful end of Romeo and Juliet. Romeo says “Alive in triumph! And Mercutio slain! Away to heaven, respective lenity, and fire-eyed fury by conduct now!”(3,1,119-124) Romeo had built up anger from the feud which resulted in him aimlessly killing Tybalt.
The bottle of potion suggests the theme of love vs. hate, death, and grief in the play. Romeo, one of the main characters, is a very good looking, smart, and sympathetic person. While in love with Juliet, he finds himself in a mess. Romeo got the news of Juliet's death back in Verona. Romeo is devastated and cannot live without his wife, Juliet.
II. Comparison and Contrast: These two literary pieces are one of the saddest love stories in literature. In most romances, their love bloomed slowly and their love was truly above all and became the purpose of their lives, loving each other till their last breath. These two literary pieces are one of the best stories that I’d ever read, and it was so wonderful and breathtaking, reading this gave me a thrill of suspense, while thinking how to compare and contrast between the two literary pieces, the common is that both are all about love and tragedy. Romeo and Juliet is forbidden to fall in love because of their family having an ongoing feud, and had a love at first sight, they are expressing their love secretly and privately for their family
This expresses the pent up anger of the lord and his new idea of happiness after Tybalt’s death. Which is all a result of Romeo’s incompetence and impulsive nature. Lord Capulet doesn't understand what is best for
This quote shows that since they want Romeo dead Juliet and him have to split up. In Act 3 Scene 1 the Capulet’s says “Marry my child earky next Thursday morning. They is forcing Juliet into marriage nand now she hass to find a way out. Lord and Lady capulet bitterness have lead to the deaths of Romeo and Juliet.
The deaths of Romeo and Juliet are a tragic reminder of how hatred and violence can lead to destruction and death. When Romeo kills Tybalt in Act III, Scene I, he is banished from Verona, causing Juliet to fake her own death in order to be with him. However, Romeo does not receive the message that Juliet's death is a ruse, and he kills himself in grief at her supposed death. Juliet, upon discovering Romeo's body, also takes her own life. Romeo’s last words were "Oh, here, Will I set up my everlasting rest, And shake the yoke of inauspicious stars, From this world-wearied flesh."
After she learns about the death of her nephew, Tybalt, she goes into a rage. Lady Capulet calls Romeo a villain, without even taking into consideration that if Romeo should be called a villain for killing her nephew, then Tybalt as well should be
By the same token, to express his hostile feelings Capulet declares, “Hang thee, young baggage! Disobedient wretch! / I tell thee what: get thee to church o' Thursday / or never after look me in the face” (3.5.160-163). Capulet is so absorbed by rage towards Juliet that his ability to think clearly is impaired. Lord Capulet’s harsh words towards Juliet when she refuses to marry Paris are spoken without any forethought.
Shakespeare uses both romantic and identity crushes to show that parents should take teenage crushes seriously by providing examples of stories and lessons he put together into his plays. For example, One of his many famous plays he has created that is a great example of both romantic and identity crushes is Romeo and Juliet. A romantic crushes is formed by finding someone whom they find powerfully attractive; moreover, someone who they feel excited to be around, and with whom they want to spend a lot of time. Parents most often know not to take these romantic crushes serious because they know sooner or later their children will outgrow these crushes and move onto the next crush: “Most romantic crushes don’t last very long because once the
*One of the most iconic love stories ever written has many different love types throughout the story. Shakespeare’s “Romeo And Juliet” has examples of Unrequited love, Romantic love, parental love, Friendship, and Love of Family Honor. Two very prominent love types shown in this story are Unrequited love, and Romantic love. These two love types have similarities and differences, and will be expanded on after examples are shown. The story of “Romeo And Juliet” has many love types.
From the moment he sees her at the Capulet party, Romeo immediately falls in love with Juliet. They both fall head over heels for each other as the night progresses. During their time together, they completely put all things aside and forget everything about the world except for their love for one another. Most people seem to think this way about the romance between Romeo and Juliet, but in reality, they aren’t actually truly in love. Romeo and Juliet are not in love with each other because just a day before they met, he felt heartbroken because of a girl named Rosaline who didn 't love him, he pressures Juliet to profess her love to him, and after just barely meeting, they both agree to get married.
And this is significant to the story to show how Juliet is “weak” and needs to be taken away from the horrible situations that her family is putting her into. The quote attributes to this point because Capulet has done these horrible things to his daughter and never does anything to stop himself from harming her because he sees as though he is doing nothing wrong. Ultimately it is easy to blame someone who mentally and physically abuses their child and this point is the main reason why Romeo and Juliet
