Theme Of Responsibility In Romeo And Juliet

When Juliet was confronted by her father and told she would marry paris she freaked out, and got really scared. After Juliet heard she would marry paris she went to Friar and asked for a sleeping potion. Once getting home she took it. “Should I kill myself? , no i should not.

Romeo ignores Friar Laurence’s advice about relationships, and hastily marries Juliet, causing complications in their futures. After the wedding, Romeo kills his new cousin-in-law, and is banished, leaving Juliet with the problem of an arranged marriage. Juliet disobeys her parents to stay faithful to Romeo, and forms a plan to save her from her tragic fate. The plan ends in tragic misery. After hearing that Juliet had died, Romeo disregards his sentence to banishment and rides to the Capulet tomb, where he kills Count Paris.

Since Friar John did not deliver the message, Romeo's messenger heard Juliet had died and Romeo went to see her. When he reached her tomb, he killed himself by drinking a potion. When Juliet awoke with Friar Laurence, who then left without her, and she stabbed herself. Some people might say Friar Laurence is not at fault for this because he might have thought she was following, but he still should have checked. Since the beginning of Romeo and Juliet, both Romeo and Juliet had been extremely emotional and overdramatic.

This later turns into a love triangle causing more suicidal thoughts on Romeo and Juliet’s love situation. This is because it makes their affair more complex, which is hard to handle when they are still in their teenage years. Another event that contributes to the idea of Paris’s determination, focuses on Paris’s stupidity. Determination and stupidity are related in the play because when people have determination, it causes them to do stupid things, like drinking poison. This is when Paris and Juliet are having a conversation of their love life in Friar Lawrence’s home, which is right after Romeo’s banishment.

With adapting to these defects they changed their lives for each other. No matter the circumstances everyone has a flaw that can affect how they go about their day and life. This exact reason causes these two lovers to suffer from an unfortunate outcome due to the fact that they are impatient and immature. Two wrongs do not make a right. This is a frequent theme throughout the play Romeo and Juliet.

Juliet is very distraught because of this, and her parents, unaware that she is already married, arrange a wedding for her and the County Paris. To avoid a forced marriage, Juliet fakes her own death however Romeo thinks she is really dead. He plans to lie alongside her and while doing this runs

The banishment places an invisible wall between Romeo and Juliet meeting again. It also shows the reality to Juliet that she could just leave him but she didn’t. Even when her father had scheduled the marriage with Paris.

In act 3 scene 5 Lord Capulet tells Juliet that she has to marry Paris or else she will be disowned and he is not very nice about it either; while he is telling Juliet what will happen if she doesn’t Marry Paris he says, “hang, beg, starve, die in the streets, For, by my soul, I'll ne'er acknowledge thee”. This hurts Juliet very much. Lord Capulet was forcing Juliet to marry Paris so soon she didn’t even have time to think of anything else she could do. This is putting Juliet in a stressful situation because she is already married to Romeo, but now her father will disown her if she doesn't marry Paris.

Following that, upon awakening and finding Romeo dead, Juliet did the same. If Juliet never formulated such a fiction, no miscommunication would have occurred, and the pair would not have perished. In addition, as Juliet continued to lie, she was unable to seek counsel from her parents, only from her nurse, which soon too disappeared, and from Friar Lawrence. This is not only a large burden and responsibility for the Friar, but if Juliet had revealed she was married to Romeo, her father would have never betrothed her to Paris. Upon hearing the news of the

In comparison, the inconsistency between diction depicts the power dynamics observed in the play. Shakespeare often uses Prospero’s servant, Ariel and slave, Caliban to portray the differences in the hierarchy of the play. As observed by the audience Prospero often uses threats and insults to communicate and assign task to Caliban, hence “...tonight thou shalt have cramps, side stitches that shall pen thy breath up. ”(I.ii.325-326) Prospero threatens Caliban with pain after his refusal to do work, because he feels as if the isle belongs to him due to the fact that it was inhabited by his mother first.
