Romeo and Juliet In the play “Romeo and Juliet” by William Shakespeare it was shown when Romeo saw Juilet at a party in the Capulet’s house for the first time it can be determined that Romeo had developed a crush on Juliet. For example in Act 1 scene 5 line 45 it states, “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.” From this it can be determined that Romeo had developed a crush on Juliet from the line “Did my heart love till now?” Another example would be in Act 1 scene 5 line 135, “(aside) My only love sprung from my only hate! Too early seen unknown, and known too late! Prodigious birth of love it is to me, That I must love a loathed enemy.” From this it can be determined that after Romeo kissed Juliet, Juliet started to have feelings for Romeo who was her enemy. From these interactions between Juliet and Romeo it can be concluded that both Romeo and Juliet started to have feelings for each other when they met. …show more content…
Another example can be found in Act 1 scene 5 line 115, “ (aside) Is a Capulet? O dear account! My life is my foe’s debt.” From this it can be determined that after Romeo found out he developed a crush on a Capulet he is going to pay a price for it. A final piece of evidence can be found in Act 1 scene 5 line 135 it states, “Go ask his name. — If he be married. My grave is like to be my wedding bed.” From this it can be inferred that if Juliet found out that Romeo was married to someone else she wouldn’t find another man but instead die a virgin. From the evidence provided it can be concluded that Romeo and Juliet have developed a crush then actually falling in
After seeing her for the first time, Romeo immediately fell in love and developed strong feelings for Juliet, the daughter of Capulet. This led to the dilemma of loving the enemy, all because Mercutio persuaded Romeo to go to the party. “If love be rough with you, be rough with love. Prick love for pricking and you beat love down…” (I.iv.27-28).
To begin with, Romeo is all too eager to find love, and rushes to find a new pretty face. Immediately after laying eyes on Juliet, Romeo is transfixed and believes that it is true love. Later that night, he wishes to marry her, saying that he can have satisfaction with “The exchange of thy love’s faithful vow for mine” (II. 2. 127). Romeo knows nothing about Juliet, only that she is the most beautiful girl that he has ever seen. Even after his last relationship fails, Romeo does not learn.
When Romeo and his friends go to the Capulet's party, Romeo takes one look at Juliet and immediately falls in love with her. After
Prior to the Capulet feast, Romeo gets a bad feeling about going. He says, “I fear too early, for my mind misgives Some consequence yet hanging in the stars”. This quote uses a metaphor of “the stars” as a symbol of fate or destiny, however, it also mentions a possible consequence of going to the opposing family’s feast. While this quote mentions an aspect of fate within the play, Romeo still ultimately makes the choice to go to the feast even after considering there being a consequence. Following Romeo seeing Juliet in Act 2 Scene 2, he goes to see Friar Lawrence discussing his marriage.
Furthermore, Romeo's strength is exemplified by his unwavering devotion to love. Act II, Scene 2's line " And I'll no longer be a Capulet" demonstrates his willingness to do anything for love, even sacrifice his life for it. Lastly, Romeo's readiness to accept risks for what he believes, it is demonstrated
Romeo’s and Juliet’s relationship is love and not a crush because as it is shown in the play, they would sacrifice anything for each other, so they can be together. For example, as Juliet is talking to herself about Romeo, she says that if he confesses his love, she “[will] no longer be a Capulet” (II, 5, 35-36). This demonstrates how Juliet is willing to give up her name, or, her family, so she can be together with Romeo. On the contrary, some might argue that it was a crush because their relationship moved too fast. For instance, one day after they meet each other, Romeo goes to Friar Laurence and asks, " That thou consent to marry us today” (II, 3, 61-64).
This is false because they may seem to be in love, however, Romeo noticeably only loves Juliet for her looks based off of his comparison of her to celestial objects whilst expressing his love. Moreover, Juliet is uncertain of her feelings throughout their entire story, but because of Romeo’s foolhardy love for Juliet, they progressed with their relationship at too fast of a pace, causing numerous accounts of danger and mistakes, resulting in a flawed relationship that sadly ended in both their deaths. If they were to get to know each other better and take their love more slowly, it would show that they are truly in love, but sadly the course they chose to partake, made for inevitable doom in their
Moreover, another example of Romeo’s impulsive actions is the murder of Tybalt. With a new reason to kill Tybalt, Romeo declares, “Either thou, or I, or both, must go with him," (3.1) before fighting Tybalt and slaying him. Tybalt’s murder is an example of how far Romeo’s recklessness cn go, especially for the ones he cares
After their first interaction we now can see how Juliet has fallen in love with Romeo. They are both involved with each other now because love brought them together. Hence becoming the reason for the start of the whole
What Lord Capulet meant by these two quotes is that although Romeo is a Montague, Romeo is a virtuous and well-governed-youth who is not causing any trouble at the party, and that Lord Capulet would not do him disparagement in his house for the wealth of the town. He then tells Tybalt that Romeo should be endured. Lord Capulet is able to use his reasoning and wise judgement and tells Tybalt to back off. Lord Capulet also does not want to start a fight with Romeo because it will disrupt the peace of the town, and also because the two families fighting is forbidden. Lastly, the theme of passion and reason is seen when Juliet decides to take the potion from Friar Lawrence knowing that it could kill her and she could never see Romeo again.
This is just one of the many things that points to Capulet, another is how he trusted Romeo. At the Capulet feast, Lord Capulet did not force Romeo to leave even though he was a Montague. Tybalt, talking to his uncle, says “ Uncle, this man is a Montague our enemy,
Romeo agrees to go and sees Juliet, Lord Capulet’s daughter and falls in love instantly with “her true beauty” (Shakespeare. I.v.51) and pulls her into the other room where they kiss. This meeting results in a prolonged love affair which springs a whole event of scandal including Juliet’s push back to marry Paris, but ultimately it results in Romeo and Juliet’s
In William Shakespeare’s prominent play, Romeo and Juliet, the defiance of the teenagers leads to their ill-fated end of the two star-crossed lover, Romeo and Juliet. For example, Romeo displays disregard to authority when “At this same ancient feast of Capulet’s sups the fair Rosaline, whom thou so loves, with all the admired beauties of Verona” (1.2.84-86). This quote, said by Mercutio, represents how Romeo casually neglects the problem that is the feud between the Capulet and Montague families. It informs the way that he falls for a Capulet but is heartbroken, then attends a party of the Capulets to find another eligible Capulet to get over that Capulet. Also, in the scene in which Tybalt had ignored the wishes of Lord Capulet’s that were,
This shows that Juliet found love at first sight. Also, although Romeo was obsessed with Rosaline, he had confessed, talking about Juliet saying “It is my lady, Oh it is my love. Oh, that she knew she were!”(2.2,10-11)This shows that Romeo fell for Juliet too. This had only happened the night of the Ball.
It pretty much covers this love throughout the entire story line. Although one example of this is when Romeo and Juliet first meet, Romeo quotes, “O, then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do. They pray; Grant thou, lest faith turn to despair.” (1.5.102-3). In this case Romeo is wanting Juliet to kiss him, which in this same conversation juliet wants the same thing.
