The Friar's Speech in William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet
Romeo has fallen in love with Juliet and nothing would have stood
between their love except their lineage, which causes a great deal of
sadness. The Capulet family and the Montague family have immense hate
for each other. With Romeo from the Montague family, Juliet from the
Capulet family and the deadliest of rivalries between the two
families, the relationship was extremely hazardous. The only way that
the relationship could continue was if Romeo and Juliet got married in
secret, which is exactly what happened.
Friar Laurence assisted the couple to get secretly wedded. His
innocent interference is crucial in what happens in the play. He of
course thought that the only way to stop the battles between the two
families was for Romeo and Juliet to get married. A few hours after
the secret marriage between Romeo and Juliet, the 'ancient grudge'
between the families, yet again becomes an issue. Tybalt of the
Capulet family, acting out of spite, goes to start a fight with Romeo.
Romeo of course knows that Tybalt is his kinsman now and avoids
conflict with Tybalt. Mercutio on the other hand, who is a dear friend
of Romeo will not back out of the fight and is killed in the
onslaught. Romeo, seeking revenge, tragically kills Tybalt. Then
Prince Escalus banishes Romeo from the city. Juliet who hears the news
from the nurse is naturally heart broken.
The nurse promises to bring Romeo to Juliet so she sets off for Friar
Laurence's cell where Romeo is in hiding. Upon arrival she sees a
broken Romeo. Romeo is extremely close to friar Laurence and he seems
to think of the friar as a father. It is ironic that we never really
hear of Romeo's real parents the Montagues but the friar is mentioned
and his presence is always felt. Romeo never seeks his parents for
advice and Juliet is very distant from hers. Romeo chooses to confide
in the friar and reveals his deepest feelings to him. Romeo's close
Thought the play, these lovers go through many obstacles that range from arranging a wedding and finding a time to meet to Juliet trying to get out of marrying Paris. The entire time fate is tossing them around. Romeo realizes this after he kills Tybalt, Juliet’s cousin, in a brawl. At first, Romeo does not want to fight because Romeo and Juliet are already married at this time and he knows that they are cousins. Tybalt asks for a brawl from Romeo but Mercutio fights instead. Mercutio gets killed by Tybalt and that is what makes Romeo mad and fight Tybalt.
Hold a daughter. I do spy a kind of hope In addition, the Friar is also Romeo s confident and try to find solutions to their overwhelming problems. & nbsp; He also breaks the terrible news to Romeo about his banishment, and he. try to do so in a humane way. He comforts the distraught Romeo, and he snares. when potential danger lurks, offer him a shelter under the desk! & nbsp; Friar Laurence tries to dissuade the pair from marrying Juliet.
Friar Lawrence in William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet "We still have known thee for a holy man"
“Wilt thou provoke me? Then, have at thee boy!” says Romeo, the murderer of Paris. In the play The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, a young man named Romeo falls in love with Juliet, a maiden from the opposing family. Romeo latches on to the thought of being with Juliet, and crosses great boundaries. Romeo’s gestures can be interpreted as romantic, loyal, and passionate. However, I believe he is mentally unstable and extreme in his decisions. Romeo does not consider the future of others, as well as himself.
Romeo and Juliet are madly in love with each other and will go to any lengths to be together. To support my thesis that the conflict between the heads of the Montague and Capulet families is responsible for Romeo and Juliet's death, I quote from Romeo and Juliet (V, iii, 291-293) Prince: ". Capulet! Montague.
1968 was a time when many people were 'hippies' and there was a lot of
the city of Verona there was violence, mayhem and murderous these past days. Which lead Romeo the son of Montague and Juliet the daughter of Capulet breathe one's last beside one another. One man, one brutal man, one coward man and holy man caused for all the blame in this tragedy, that man is Friar Lawrence by tracing back to his first words.
For my first scene I have chosen act 1 scene 5 in which Romeo meets
of a peacemaker in the play, he says in the play “Part fools! Put up
In the end some people might blame the friar for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet, but the friar was some results of personal choice, because of “faith” they believed they were meant and nothing could stop them from being together in the end, choosing to do the things the friar said that would help the problem of Romeo’s exile. But it all was a matter of personal choice that lead up to these events, and this story is a very good example
”(II.vi.35-37). The Friar marries the two in hopes “to turn [their] households rancor to pure love”(II.iii.99). The Friar is the binding power between Romeo and Juliet, by helping them be together. Without the Friar, Romeo and Juliet would have a difficult time trying to meet in secret with each other, but because of him, they are able to get married. Ultimately, the Friar’s wishes of ending the feud between the Montagues and Capulets are fulfilled, but the reason for their reconciliation is the death of their children.
Because of miscommunication, Romeo and Juliet’s parents are not informed of their teenager’s conflicts, therefore making them useless. An example of miscommunication between the adults and adolescents is when Romeo locks himself in his room depressed. Lord Montague is deeply concerned about Romeo’s seclusive ways, saying he is “to himself, so secret”. Lord and Lady Montague want to “learn from whence his sorrows grow” so they can help him with his troubles (I.i.155-163). Because Romeo alienates himself from his parents, not telling them he is heartbroken from Rosaline, his parents do not know why he is upset. If he would have had told his parents of his recent heartbreak, the Montague’s could have helped him resolve this issue. However, this does not happen and the parents end up being futile. While it is not the Montague’s fault that Romeo does not ...
When he married Romeo and Juliet, he wished for more than their happiness. He hoped that the marriage would bring families together. When witnessing the deaths he says in sorrow, “I’m a friar holy and peaceful.” “Oh Lord, the poor deaths that lie in front of me. Are due to my greed to resolve the feud.”
After catching Romeo at a party he was not supposed to be at, Tybalt had it out for Romeo. Just after Romeo and Juliet’s wedding, Tybalt comes looking for him wanting to fight. Romeo does not want to fight because he now loves Tybalt since he is family to him, but neither Tybalt or anyone else knows this reason. Quickly, Mercutio steps in and tells Tybalt that he will fight him in honour of Romeo. Sadly, this led to the death of Mercutio.
The play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare is set in the fictional city of Verona. Within the city lives two families, The Capulets and the Montegues, who have been feuding for generations. One night there is a celebration held at the house of the Capulet's. At the party the only son of the Montegues, Romeo, and the daughter of the Capulets, Juliet, see each other from across the room. The moment their eyes meet we are supposed to believe that they instantaneously fall in love with each other. Because they are from two warring families their love would most likely be forbidden. Juliet's father has also promised her to his good friend Paris. Because the love between the young couple is so powerful they go to Friar Lawrence and they are secretly married. On the day of their marriage Tybalt, Juliet's cousin, challenges Romeo to a duel. In the midst of all this chaos, Romeo's best friend, Mercutio, is murdered by Tybalt. Romeo then slays Tybalt out of revenge. When the prince of Verona finds out what Romeo has done he banishes Romeo from Verona forever. When the friar hears of this he devises a plan so that the two lovers can be together.
