Parents' Roles in William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet
Romeo and Juliet were 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. The Montague’s’ son Romeo falls
in love with the Capulet’s daughter Juliet. Both Romeo and Juliet come
from a society filled with hatred and fighting. Neither of the lovers
can confront their parents, as they do not have a close relationship
and have trouble communicating. However they both confront their
carers as they help them through their lives. Romeo has Friar Lawrence
and Juliet has the Nurse. Each child has to turn to their carers as
their parents are unable to help them, but still both Romeo and Juliet
commit suicide for each other’s love. This may have been caused due to
inadequate parenting as Juliet’s parents are very distant and do not
communicate as well as the Nurse and Juliet, whereas Romeo’s parents
struggle to communicate with him; this is shown when they ask Benvolio
Romeo’s cousin to find out what is bothering Romeo. Lord Capulet is
the father of Juliet; he is a very domineering character who cannot
control his actions fully. He is an inadequate parent as he does not
communicate with her well, and he does not give her any independence,
he forces her to marry Paris when she does not want to, when she says
she will not marry him, Lord Capulet is aggressive. The only thing
Juliet can do is say that she will meet him and see what she thinks of
him, but she has no intentions of falling in love with him as she is
in love with Romeo; she is unable to let her father know as he will
not approve of...

...onclusion Romeo and Juliet are both affected by the disease
of Verona as the ‘ancient grudge’ between the families has caused
Romeo and Juliet to take their lives; partly due to the inadequate
parenting from Lord and Lady Capulet and Lord and Lady Montague. They
both have an adequate carer who is forced into taking the main roles
as the parents. Romeo and Juliet tried to fight the disease of Verona
and the hatred society but could no longer lake the fighting, hatred
and the secrets. In the end both families lost their beloved only
children, which made them forget the hatred and remember the “two star
crossed lovers.” The moral of the story is if you love moderately,
have an open relationship, not just with your partner but also with
your family and your love is strong you will have a good life with joy
and love.

The Interaction Between the Old and Young in William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet In William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, he tells a tale of “A pair of star crossed lovers”. Unusually for Shakespeare’s play, Romeo and Juliet focuses on two very young people. Throughout the play there is a contrast between the young and older characters in the play. The interaction between the characters is very important as it would form what happens in the play. In Shakespearean times there were probably different interactions depending on how you were related to each other.
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.
Teens may seem to make the most stupid, irrational, and rash decisions they possibly could for the seemingly relatively easy lives they live, but being an adolescent isn’t easy. The teen characters from Romeo and Juliet all make some pretty stupid decisions, but they are, in fact, teenagers; their brains are not actually yet fully developed. They don’t have the same capacity to make decisions with the distant future in mind as those of us who do have more developed brains. Therefor, they shouldn’t be held to the same standards as adults, as their brains are just more likely to lean towards risk taking and impulsive behavior - it isn’t their fault. Though adults can help guide adolescents through decisions, teens need to be able to try things and learn by themselves. The adults in this tragedy definitely were not a good example of how to take care of teens, and probably are at fault for the terrible decisions many of the teen characters made, just as much so as the teens themselves.
Juliet’s words in this passage reveal that she desires a mother figure and loves and trusts Romeo.

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.
