The Relationship Between Parents and Children Presented in William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet
Romeo and Juliet is a play written by William Shakespeare. It is seen
as one of the most familiar of his plays. It is set in Verona, a city
in Rome.
The play is set around a set of two feuding families, the Montagues
and the Capulets. The cause of the feud is unknown, and doesn't become
clear throughout the play. Their hatred for each other however, is
strongly evident throughout the play.
The main characters, Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet, fall madly in
love with each other at first sight. As they are both young and
impressionable, they begin a passionate relationship, and agree to
secretly marry after only knowing each other less than two hours.
The scene I am focusing on, is the scene after they have just
consummated their marriage. Romeo has to leave abruptly, as his
banishment for killing Juliet's cousin is in force, and if he is
caught, he will be sentenced to death. Juliet apprehensively lets him
leave. Thinking that she will never see him again, she starts to cry.
This is when her mother, Lady Capulet enters. Juliet's relationship
with her mother is seen as quite formal. 'Who is't that calls? It is
my lady mother…Madam. This makes the relationship not as a mothers to
a daughter should be, as Juliet is calling her mother Lady, leading
the reader to believe she is not that close to her mother.
Lady Capulet then tries to console Juliet, as she thinks that she is
crying over the death of her cousin, and not of the separation of her
and her husband. 'Evermore weeping for your cousin's death?' She then
tries to make her stop by saying 'What, wilt thou wash him from his
grave with tears?' This shows that Lady Capulet could be slightly
impatient, and would like Juliet to stop crying.
Juliet is deceiving her mother, as she knows her mother thinks she is
crying over Tybalt. 'Feeling so the loss, I cannot but ever weep for

Anna Freud, the founder of child psychoanalysis, once said, “It is only when parental feelings are ineffective or too ambivalent or when the mother's emotions are temporarily engaged elsewhere that children feel lost” (“Anna Freud”). In this case, the children, Romeo and Juliet, get lost and confused, leading to their ultimate deaths. While they cannot live without each other, they also cannot live with each other either, since they end up dying together from all the conflicts piling on top on each other. Since Romeo and Juliet do not really have any parental influence in their lives, they do not know how resolve their conflict of star-crossed love. Due to miscommunication, conflicting viewpoints between parents and adolescents, and a lack of involvement in their children’s lives, Shakespeare shows through Romeo and Juliet that adults are ineffective in saving their children’s lives.

Parents' Roles in William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet Romeo and Juliet are set in Verona, where two families are enemies. they are enemies due to an ‘ancient grudge’ which has been powerful. enough to keep the two lovers apart. Montague’s’ son Romeo falls. in love with the Capulet’s daughter, Juliet.
Capulet is shown to be very authoritative over his wife, asking her to ‘Go you to Juliet’ and ‘Prepare her’ for the wedding. This shows us that Capulet has no doubt his wife will do what she tells her, and the use the imperative verbs such as ‘go’ and ‘prepare’ imply that women were forced to obey their husband’s instructions.

“The course of true love never did run smooth” –William Shakespeare. Shakespeare truly proved this quote in his illustrious play called Romeo and Juliet. These two star-crossed lovers definitely did not have a smooth course to true love, as they experienced many hardships along the way that ultimately resulted in their downfall. Romeo and Juliet’s forbidden love unleashed a strain on their reputations, friendships, and their relationship with their families.
In Friar Lawrence's cell, Romeo dramatically cries, " There is no world for me outside the walls of Verona." Romeo murderer Tybalt, and the result of that Romeo was banished. In addition, the law states that death will be brought to whom kills. Romeo ridiculously does not accept his responsibilities. Romeo reveals his immaturety for assuming it is the end of the world for being banished from a place his "soulmate" lives. After Juliet and Romeo make love, Romeo passionately cries, " Let me be put to death. I am content if that's what you want." Romeos irrational need to stay with Juliet is becoming a foolish remedy. Knowing he would be put to death if he does not leave shows how lustful and courageous Romeo truly is.

If he had not he would have been executed.
The Love Between Romeo and Juliet in William Shakespeare's Play I think that the love between Romeo and Juliet is genuine, and that they are not merely infatuated with one another. I have come to this conclusion from the way that Romeo and Juliet interact with one another; such as their actions towards each other, and their language used while speaking. The prologue is what leads me to think that the love between Romeo and Juliet is genuine, because Shakespeare is informing us about them and their love for each other. There are also other parts in the play script which inform us of their love such as the initial meeting of Romeo and Juliet, and the final scenes of the play where the characters die for each other.
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.
