She is the only person that supports their marriage just because she wants them to be happy. The nurse helps Juliet out of pure love, and is the steady, supporting mother figure in her life. She is the least selfish and most mature character in the play. In Act II, Scene V, Line XXVII,
Loyalty is often considered a positive and admirable trait but it can also have a down side. Loyalty can cause more harm than good and Romeo and Juliet is a perfect example of this. Romeo and Juliet is the story of two lovers whose families are at odds and their feuding is what leads to these lovers' deaths. Throughout the play many characters meet their end because of the loyalty to the houses or to their friends. This includes Mercutio, Tybalt, Romeo, and Paris who all die because of their loyalties.
In William Shakespeare’s tragedy Romeo and Juliet, Romeo, Juliet, and Tybalt display their loyalties by sacrificing for the ones they love. Tybalt shows loyalty by fighting for his family and friends all throughout the story. Demonstrating her faithfulness, Juliet gives up her own life for all the other people in her social group. Within the play, Romeo exemplifies many qualities of devotion by putting himself through pain for others. All throughout the story, Romeo exhibits several attributes of a loyal person by sacrificing many things for all the people that he cares about.
Loyalty is a key trait in a healthy relationship, but can it also cause harm? William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet provides compelling examples of how excessive loyalty can lead to disastrous outcomes. In the play, it is shown that when loyalty is taken too far it can turn into blind devotion, causing people to make rash decisions, harming themselves or others. Romeo and Juliet's story highlights the dangers of unchecked loyalty. Loyalty can lead to the demise of individuals and even entire communities.
This is an example of the perils of excessive loyalty. In the play Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare warns about the dangers of extreme loyalty through the behavior of Romeo and Juliet. Juliet is one of the most faithful characters in the play, and also the most tragic, which is Shakespeare’s way of showing the dangers of acute loyalty. When Juliet visits Friar Lawrence after she fights with her parents, she says all the things she’d rather do than
In this case, it seems that Juliet has not had as much bonding with her Lady Capulet as much as she has with the nurse. Lady Capulet has always needed a person to help her even when it is something that she has been doing for years. Some people may argue that she doesn’t take care of her child as much
Romeo and Juliet is a well-known play written by William Shakespeare. Even though it is famous for being a love story, Shakespeare demonstrates that rebellion is closely tied together either it through the characters: Juliet, Romeo and Tybalt. By defying their families, authority and society's expectations, they set in motion the events in this tragedy. Romeo’s rebellion against society's expectations and his own family, the Montagues, is because of his love. His love of Rosaline is his first demonstration of defiance.
“My bounty is as boundless as the sea, My love as deep; the more I give to thee, The more I have, for both are infinite.” (2.2.140-142) Throughout the tale of Romeo and Juliet, loyalty is shown in different ways. The theme of remaining loyal when things get tough can be seen throughout Romeo and Juliet, through Romeo finds out that Juliet is a Capulet and remaining loyal to her , Juliet remains loyal to Romeo when she found out that he killed her cousin Tybalt, and Mercutio defending Romeo against the insults of Tybalt .
After the news of Romeo being exiled is delivered to Juliet, Juliet breaks down. The nurse then tells Juliet she will “find Romeo/ to comfort [her]” (52). The nurse once again takes action to bring Romeo
“Good Heart, and faith I will tell her as much/ Lord, Lord, she will be a joyful woman” (II.4.163-164). What the nurse means by that is she has a message from Romeo to give to Juliet ,and she knows Juliet will be excited to receive it. Juliet's nurse is agreeing with their young forsaken love, this is the nurse's first mistake. Keeping a secret from the enemy families is a lot of weight on her
She did not tell anyone that Romeo and Juliet were married. She should have told someone that they got married because they could have blamed her. The nurse helped her to get to Romeo. The Nurse would try anything to help Romeo and Juliet see each other. Their families hat each other with a passion.
The prologue explains that the Montague and Capulet families have had a long lasting disagreement and it has been taken to a whole new level, where blood is being spilt on the streets of “fair Verona”. The feud between the families’ acts as a pressure cooker throughout the play and reinforces the majority of the character’s actions and events which take place. The family feud causes civil unrest in Verona and the city is consumed by it. Had there not been a dispute between the families, Juliet and Romeo would have no reason to hide their love and marriage. Similarly, Friar Lawrence would not have to contribute and devise a plan for the couple to escape.
Romeo and Juliet is a story of hasty decisions. The young couple must quickly decide to get married, how to act after Romeo is exiled, and whether or not to take their own lives. Many of these decisions are made under the guidance of the children’s mentors, Friar Laurence and the Nurse. Throughout this tragedy, Friar Laurence and the Nurse are the only adults that Romeo and Juliet seem to feel that they can trust and are in turn some of the main people that influence the outcome of the play. The Nurse and Friar Laurence play very similar roles, both in the play and the lives of the children, but the ways in which they advise and influence the children include more differences.
“The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves”, is a quote by the man himself, William Shakespeare, concerning human responsibility, otherwise known as the capability of completing an obligation, or duty sufficiently. These commitments or duties play a role in how a situation will play out, and dictate the consequences that follow. The choices made from the beginning to the end in William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet are all examples of how people’s decisions, primarily those of Tybalt, Mercutio and Friar Lawrence, lead to a heartbreaking fallout. The pressure and burden weighing down the young lovers ultimately overwhelms them, causing an expeditious chain reaction. The influences behind each character’s ill-considered judgments,
Lastly, Shakespeare uses Romeo and Juliet to show true love. Nurse shows parental love to Juliet throughout the play. Despite being a servant to the Capulet household, she has a role equivalent to that of Juliet’s mothers and regards Juliet as her own. Even with the fact that Nurse is not the birth mother of Juliet, she still treats Juliet like a daughter. Nurse cares about Juliet and wants her to be happy and find success.”
