“For never was there a story of more woe than this of Juliet and her Romeo.” - William Shakespeare. This line was said at the very end of the play to show that there were alot of things that happened throughout the story. In this essay it will be discussed how the characters changed throughout the story. Shakespeare suggests that in his play, Romeo and Juliet, it is illustrates that young love can often lead to bad decisions that have a negative impact not only on themselves but also on society.
Juliet started off being a young girl who did what her parents asked of her but as the story went on it started changing so did she. She showed a lot of positive changes throughout the story. One big positive change that is illustrated in the story
Juliet changed him into a better person not only by stopping him from progressing from girl to girl to stick with her. Also Romeo reveals how happy Juliet makes him, even though they barely knew each other when they claimed they were in love. This first appears right after they met and how Romeo is walking around with joy and spotting her in the garden, not being able to resist but to talk to her. But like any story there were thing that changed for the worse in him. Romeo started getting into a lot of first with the kids on Juliet's side of the family. This is displayed best when he gets into a fight with tybalt and by accident kills him. This resulted in him being banished from the city of verona, which tore him away from his one true love.
Lord capulet the father and leader of juliet's family. In the beginning of the story he displayed the feud between him and the montagues. The best way it is displayed how he has changed for the better was when the feud ended because the connection between romeo and juliet when they died brought them together. Which made him a happier and less hating person. Throughout the story it does show how he became more negative before he because happy. For example, when he said he would disown Juliet if she did not marry paris. But he ended up changing for the better even though it did not turn out like he wanted it
Romeo and Juliet, written by William Shakespeare, is a story of two young lovers. These two hearts, Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet belong to feuding families. The family feud causes them to keep their love a secret and therefore only Romeo, Juliet, Benvolio, the Nurse and Friar Lawrence know of their love. Romeo and Juliet are able to look past the feud and let themselves fall in mad love with the other. They let themselves do almost anything for the other and at times it seems like too much to do, even for the one they love. Although fate and character traits play a key role in the play, ultimately Rome and Juliet’s personal choices lead to their downfall.Fate originates all of the conflicts in Romeo and Juliet, from when they met until they die.
Did you know that Romeo and Juliet was one of the biggest love story of all time. Romeo and Juliet is a story of two star-crossed lovers from two families the Capulets and the Montagues. The Capulets and the Montague had a big fight that made the families very angry at each other. Romeo and Juliet decide to get married. The two couple marry and run away. In the process both of them will die. When it comes to Romeo and Juliet who are the top three people that caused the two to die. The two people that are chosen are Friar Lawrence and Lady Capulet. Friar was chosen because he is the one that married Romeo and Juliet. Lady Capulet was chosen because she is forcing Juliet to marry Paris which is making Juliet want Romeo even more. The third thing
Every character in every story evolves, they all evolve differently. They are all unique and that’s one of the major reasons why we come to care and love characters from any story or play. Romeo, a main role in “Romeo and Juliet” evolves in a unique way as well; he evolves from love. The emotion like love and a character like Romeo don’t really mix well together. Romeo is a very interesting and naive character to read in “Romeo and Juliet”. He simply lets the emotion of love control him very easily. However, not just making irrational decisions about love, marriage, and death; but Romeo actually ‘evolves’ through the play, and it’s very fascinating to see how his character evolves. He lets his idiotic love affairs take over his life and turns him into another person. Romeo goes from an innocent teenager to a teenager who would do basically anything to be with the person he loves, including suicide. To prove this, I will present quotes from the play to express that he evolves.
Because of this conflict, confrontations occurred and insults were thrown. Hatred is bred which is evident when Tybalt, who is Lady Capulet's nephew, joins the fight against the Montague family. Tybalt hates Romeo and doesn't hesitate to let it be known.
In Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare the two main characters are Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet. Both teenagers matured and changed during the play, but Juliet’s changes stood out the most. Juliet transformed in less then a week, which says she did not change much, but there is a definite difference in her personality from before she met Romeo to after she married him. There are many events in the book that support that idea. Most of which interact with her mother. Many events towards the ending of the play suggest she is very obstinate, which is quite different from the begging of the play before Juliet even thought of marriage or defying her parents and family.
A character goes through many changes that depend on the kind of events they experience. The play “Romeo and Juliet” written by William Shakespeare, uses different tones and language that shows the readers that Juliet, a Protagonist, changes over time, proving the idea that she is a dynamic character. At the beginning of the play, we are introduced to a young, innocent and inexperienced girl, Juliet the daughter of Lord Capulet . She has not yet seen the real world and is raised by the person she trusts most, her nurse. Juliet begins as a naive child who has thought little about love and marriage, but she grows up quickly upon falling in love with Romeo, the son of her family’s great enemy. Due to the fact that Juliet is a girl in an aristocratic family, she has none of the freedom Romeo has to rome around the city, climb over walls in the middle of the night, or get into swordfights. As we begin to learn more about the character of Juliet, we learn that Juliet is not the girl she used to be anymore. She is more courageous and willing to break the rules. She goes against her and her family beliefs. In the beginning of the play she obeys her parents. But as the play descends Juliet is disregarding of what her parents say. She is no longer the innocent girl she use to be. Shakespeare use of language helps the reader to see the change in a character that makes them a dynamic character.
Throughout Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare the story is often considered a tragedy. However the story is also considered the greatest love tale of all time. Love is viewed as a positive thing, so there must be a reason why the story connects to humans who have a good and bad side. Also that there might possibly be several positive themes displayed in the passage. There are three major positive messages about the human spirit provided in the tale, one is hope, the second is love and the third is endurance.
The reason Juliet changes throughout the story is that she is in love. During this scene, Juliet confesses her love to Romeo saying, “My bounty is as boundless as the sea, / My love as deep. The more I give to thee, / The more I have, for both are infinite.” (2.2, 140-142). Juliet changes after she confesses her love to Romeo, before she was open to marrying Paris, but now she has her heart set on Romeo. Another quote that proves Juliet changes is when she
Throughout the play the audience sees Romeo’s personality unraveling and that one of many character traits Romeo has, is that he is dramatic and cries over little things that are not important. In the opening scene of the play Romeo had recently been heartbroken by Rosaline and is depressed over her. “Tut, I have lost myself; I am not here; This is not Romeo, he’s some other where” (1.1. 192-193). Romeo is dramatic because he takes this heartbreak as if it was the end of the world and like he would never be in love again unless it was Rosaline. Shortly after, Romeo falls deeply in love with Juliet to the point that he would do anything for her. However, he gets banished and is forced to live in exile in Mantua which is far away from Juliet.
In the tremendous play of ‘Romeo & Juliet’, Shakespeare’s ways engages the audience straight away. The astounding methods he uses hooks the audience into the play and allows them to read on, wondering what will happen. The tragic love story of Romeo & Juliet, as mentioned in the prologue, sets a variety of themes throughout Act 1 Scene 5. Many of the recognisable themes are: youth and age, revenge, forbidden love, fate, action and hate. The main idea of the play is a feud that had been going on between two families, The ‘Montagues and Capulets’, the son of the Montagues and the daughter of the Capulets fall in love and the story tells us how tragic, death, happiness and revenge find them throughout the play.
At the start the atmosphere remains calm. Capulet is worried about his daughter’s grieving for the death of her cousin Tybalt; however this isn’t the real reason for the upset. Shakespeare uses metaphors to compare the difference between the grief and good emotions. Capulet links Juliet to a s...
The significance of Juliet’s change in character is to show her accelerated transformation from a young girl into a mature woman. In the beginning of the play Juliet is unable to make her own decisions. However after her meeting with Romeo, Juliet becomes more assertive and defends her love for Romeo. In conclusion, individuals cannot be forced to love; love is nurtured and nourished but also is always put to test.
The feud between the Montagues and the Capulets causes the young couple to have to sneak around to one another. Broken family relationships in both families add stress since there are less people Romeo and Juliet can trust, and feel comfortable talking too. Miscommunication not only between Romeo and Juliet, but almost all the characters, affect the couple in a poor way because they are constantly being misinformed about one another. Romeo and Juliet may not like that they have been greatly impacted by all these factors but these actions are ultimately what shaped their lives, and affected how they lived them. This demonstrates how the influences around you can change the way you feel about certain things. If they had better family conditions, and ways to communicate, it is possible they could have lived their lives longer and
In this essay, I will prove that Juliet is a dynamic character. What do you say to me? Can you love the gentleman? This night you shall behold him at our feast; Read o'er the volume of young Paris' face, And find delight written there with beauty's pen; Examine every married lineament, And see how one another lends content; And what obscur'd in this fair volume lies Find written in the margent of his eyes. This precious book of love, this unbound lover, To beautify him, only lacks a cover: The fish lives in the sea; and 'tis much pride For fair without the fair within to hide: That book in many's eyes doth share the glory, That in gold clasps locks in the golden story; So shall you share all that he doth possess, By having him, making yourself no less."
Juliet also undergoes a change in character, far removing herself from the naïve fourteen year old of Act One, she becomes increasingly strong and practical (Spencer 67). At the beginning of the play Juliet talks of marriage as ‘an honour that I dream not of’ (1.3.67) but by Act Two Scene Two it is Juliet who brings about the subject of marriage, encouraging Romeo to arrange their wedding. Romeo may have insisted on declaring their love for each other but Juliet takes it a step further ‘thy purpose marriage, send me word tomorrow’ (2.2.144).
