Romeo and Juliet are committed to their love. There so committed that they got married the very next day they first met. The second time they met was on Juliet’s balcony by accident, because Romeo didn’t want to go home and he wanted to see Juliet again. They were talking for a few minutes and kissed each other many times, and Juliet said to Romeo, “If that thy bent of love be honorable, Thy purpose marriage, send me word tomorrow”(Act two, Scene two). Juliet tells Romeo if you you love me so much, the marry me tomorrow. Romeo without hesitation, agreed to marry Juliet the next day at the Church. Romeo and Juliet decide to marry at 9 o'clock in the morning. Later on, Romeo asks Faire ( a priest) to allow him and Juliet to marry. At
There are two families that hate each other Romeo's family the Montague's and Juliet's family the Capulet's. The families have hated each other for many generations. Romeo and Juliet met at a party even though Lord Capulet has found Juliet a husband but she doesn't like him and falls in love with Romeo who was previously in love with Rosaline. Romeo and Juliet get married in secret hoping in the long run that this deed will end the family feud but Juliet's family don't know about the wedding. Mercutio Romeo's best friend and Tybalt Juliet's cousin get into a fight and Mercutio dies but Romeo turns up and kills Tybalt. Romeo is banished to Mantua for killing Tybalt so Juliet isn't happy because she has lost two of the people she cares about most.
Later when Juliet is at the ball she meets Romeo, and falls in love at first sight. Later Romeo follows her to her balcony where she confesses her love for Romeo to herself. Overhearing her, Romeo shows himself and also confesses his love for her. Taken over by her first feelings of love and lust, she defies her parents just by speaking to him in that manner. Before this, which was only about five or six hours ago, she would not have spoken to him at all, let alone that time of night. Romeo soon proposes to Juliet and she says yes.
It is often believed that fate plays a role in the end result of peoples’ lives, however, in this tale of star-crossed lovers, fate is not the case. Three characters are to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet in William Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet. They are Friar Lawrence, Lord Capulet and Romeo. Friar Lawrence is the first character responsible for the deaths of the two young lovers because of his immoral actions. Romeo Montague constantly acts too hastily which never works in his favour or any of the other characters. Lord Capulet brings about the deaths of Romeo and Juliet because he doesn’t stay true to his promises. Friar Lawrence, Lord Capulet, and Romeo Montague all have character faults that majorly contribute to the catastrophe in the play.
Each one from an opposing family. This does not stop them from getting married though. They meet each other on a Sunday, and are married by Monday. They’re impulsiveness causes them to want to be married so quickly. Romeo hurries to Friar Lawrence to convince him to marry them. Friar Lawrence reminds Romeo that he was just in love with Rosaline the morning before by saying, “Holy Saint Francis! What a change is here!/ Is Rosaline, that thou didst love so dear,/ So soon forsaken? Young men’s love then lies/ Not truly in their hearts, but in their eyes./ Jesu Maria! What a deal of brine/ Hath washed thy sallow cheeks for Rosaline ” (2.3.65-70). The Friar does marry them, but at the end of the night, Romeo sneaks off to sleep with Juliet. They kept this a secret to everyone but Friar Lawrence and the Nurse. This causes trouble because the Capulet family was in the process of trying to marry Juliet off to one of the Prince’s relatives, Paris. It was a huge risk for Romeo to sneak into Juliet’s room for the night, but he did it anyways. He did it because of his immediate love for her. This was all their own choice to take all these risks, and not fate.
Whenever something bad goes down, we always want to blame someone else but ourselves. In the case of Romeo and Juliet, Friar Lawrence is the real person to blame. People think that he's the one who was trying to put things back together for the families, but really he wasn't. Giant problems that the Friar ended up causing happen include about three different deaths, lying people and his own selfishness. The Friar may look like the innocent one here, but he isn't. People may think that he is innocent because he was trying to make the two children happy towards the end, but really he was trying to save his own skin. If there is anyone to blame here, it's the Friar.
Romeo and Juliet believe their fate is to be together even without knowing each other for longer than a day, deciding to get married right away. In the play without Romeo, nor Juliet's parents knowing, the night after meeting Romeo decided to have Juliet marry him and he says “I take thee a thy word. Call me
Advice is always helpful and it can be used to solve many problems. But advice can also be dangerous if the outcome is not considered. In William Shakespeare's play, Romeo and Juliet, the blame for Romeo and Juliet's death lies on Friar Laurence. In spite of being the most kind, sensible and thoughtful person, he presents misleading advises and actions towards the lovers which lead to their tragic death. Friar Laurence's deceptive advices and actions towards the lovers are secretly marrying Romeo and Juliet in the hope of getting two families together and bring peace to Verona, Friar Laurence organizes poorly for the plan of Juliet's fake death which causes the death of the lovers, Friar Laurence proposes a plan to fake Juliet's death and gives her the potion which leads to Romeo and Juliet's death.
Many people think that society has changed so much over the years. That the way that children act, has taken a turn for the worst, but in reality children are learning from their ancestors. Children are lying to their parents, they are sneaking out at night to be with a boy that is “the one”, children are going back into the age of Shakespeare. In the play “Romeo and Juliet” which was written by William Shakespeare in 1597, there are two teenagers, Romeo and Juliet, who fall in love with each other. These two teenagers try to do everything that they can to live the rest of their lives together, except their families despise each other, so there is no way that they can live the rest of their lives together. So, many people believe that the way that our children are growing up today is taking away the fun parts of their childhood. However in this play Juliet did many of the things that teenagers are trying to do now. Children and sometimes adults now need to realize how your actions not only affect you but also the people around you, you also need to think about the consequences of the actions you make. At first Juliet falls in love at first sight with Romeo, then she takes a potion, which causes her family to think she is dead, and then how Friar Lawrence helps Juliet with the scheming, which shows how adults have to think about others as well.
Have you ever thought about if Romeo and Juliet truly loved each other? In the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet confess their love to each other the night that they met. I don’t think that they truly actually loved each other, for many reasons. First of all Juliet has never really been exposed to men, Romeo just was madly in love with Rosaline, and they only met a few hours before.
There was action and there was tragedy, but put it all together to make the perfect comedy and a perfect tragic story. William Shakespeare wrote the play Romeo and Juliet, said to be the finest written play in history, for its originality and it's many plots. This story will take you through a lot of mixed emotion and will show you what a true feud is. This story is laid out perfectly because of its true holding and both family's passion for their children. William Shakespeare wrote the story to show how Romeo and Juliet's love for each other will show their youth and immaturity. Their over reacting cost them their life. At such a young age they thought they could never love another being again, and so, " A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life."(Act one scene one)
Mere hours after the masque, Juliet and Romeo are surreptitiously married under the supervision of Friar Lawrence, who hesitantly states, “Come, come with me, and we will make short work; / For, by your leaves, you shall not stay alone / Till Holy Church incorporate two in one” (2.6.35-37). Friar Lawrence agrees to marry Romeo and Juliet in hopes of ending the feud between their families. Though he has good intentions, the Friar creates far more problems than he solves in his action of marrying the two partners, mainly because he agrees to keep it a secret and deceive the rest of Verona. Soon after the star-crossed lovers’ wedding, Juliet’s father marries her to Paris because he is unaware of her situation. Because of Romeo and Juliet’s secret wedding, Juliet resolves to do anything in her power to avoid a decided marriage with Paris. She observes, “Things that, to hear them told, have made me tremble- / And I will do it without fear or doubt, / To live an unstain’d wife to my sweet love” (4.1.87-89). Juliet is willing to go to drastic measures to stay true to Romeo, which, while admirable, leads to future deception that
1. Romeo is so love struck that he compares Juliet to many things that show contrast to one another. For example he says that she stands out against the darkness like a jeweled earring hanging against the cheek of an African. “It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night like a rich jewel in an Ethiope’s ear.” He also says that she is like a white dove in the middle of a flock of crows; “So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows.” At this point it clear that Romeo has fallen out of love with Rosaline and fell deeply in love with Juliet.
Moreover after knowing Juliet for less than twenty-four hours, Romeo goes to his companion Friar Lawrence and asks him to marry them. True, Juliet is the one who sets up the marriage. However, Romeo is the one who pushed the relationship too far and too soon. In Act 2.3, Friar Lawrence is in shock with the sudden change from Rosaline to Juliet and comments on the ind...
My journal entries on the book Romeo And Juliet focuses on many different topics. My entries include my general thoughts on the play, I included my thoughts of a character, and I compared the play to other things, like the movie version. But what I think my entries mostly focuses on, is my thoughts on the scenes. For example, in one of my entries, I talked about the scene when Paris is asking permission to marry Juliet. I like to focus on the scenes because I like expressing my feelings on what is happening in the play. I also like how I get to recap on what is happening in my own words, so that way I understand it better. What I learned from the characters from the journal is that the characters back then had different lives than from people now, because of the expectations back then. The expectations for people in modern time is really different from what the expectations would have been back then. I think that the expectations really shapes the characters because the expectations determine how they would act. For example, back then, the expectation for sex is to have it after you are married, but now people are not expected to do that, so they would be
Near the beginning of the story the Capulets hold a party and some Montagues show up including Romeo. Juliet's father lets them stay and soon Romeo and Juliet meet for the first time. If they didn't have the party they would not have met in the first place. So Romeo and Juliet seem to get along and before the night is over they fall in love with each other and are basically inseparable. Juliet proposes which leads to a private marriage performed by Friar Lawrence. Soon after a day of meeting the two are
