Going against parents wishes and feeling. Not many teenagers would do this. But sometimes this isn’t the case. In “Romeo And Juliet”, two people from different, and feuding families find love within each other. Throughout the story, big events happen and, as a result, Romeo and Juliet are separated. Because of this, eventually, both Romeo and Juliet kill themselves. These two were both young and thought they were in love. This is what some would call puppy love. Sometimes puppy love can cause people to do something outrageous and immature. Juliet is a 13-year-old girl and Romeo is a boy between 17-19 years of age. They met at a party and “fell in love”. They decided to get married the next day. Because of this, when Tybalt, Juliet’s cousin, …show more content…
When she does, she is at first upset that Romeo killed her cousin. But afterward, she is upset that Romeo has been banished from Verona. She threatens to kill herself because of how much grief she is in. But not too long after the mourning starts, she is informed she will be marrying Paris that Thursday. She disagrees, her and her father get into an argument, and eventually, Juliet tells her parent she’s going to church to ask for forgiveness but is truly going there to ask for advice from Friar Lawrence on what to do in this situation. The friar suggests to her that she drink a potion the night before the marriage is supposed to happen, and she will fall into a deep sleep for about 42 hours. She takes this advice and this bottle of liquid makes her appear dead to everyone else. Her Nurse found her “dead” body and called for her parents, where she was then soon buried. Juliet faked her death just to be with Romeo and could only be with him that way because of his …show more content…
But when Friar John went, he was unable to come in because he had picked up another Friar and he had been dealing with a disease. So instead, Balthazar, who had no idea of the plan, had informed Romeo that Juliet was actually dead and Balthazar knew because he saw her funeral. Romeo was devastated by this news and decided to make plans of his own. Romeo met up with a poor apothecary and bought some poison off of the man. He traveled back to Verona and went to the Capulet grave site. Paris was there, and as Paris tried to arrest Romeo, they had a fight, in which Romeo again killed. After this, Romeo lied out across Juliet and drank his poison. Juliet woke up and the Friar explained what had happened. He left, thinking she would follow him, but she didn’t. Juliet found Romeo’s dagger, and because he had drunk the poison, stabbed herself in the
He quickly gathered a few things to go visit her in her tomb. There, after seeing her lying there, Romeo put a vial of poison on his lips so he could forever be with his love. This act of love might have been a bit crazy, but that is how people will remember him. Romeo knew this was what he wanted and had to do to be with Juliet. Romeo died painlessly and unexpectedly.
Then Juliet awakes in the tomb and finds Romeo dead next to her. Friar Lawrence rushes into the tomb to find both Paris and Romeo dead along with Juliet sobbing over Romeo. He insists of Juliet coming with him to leave because the watch is coming, but she is too depressed to move. Friar Lawrence leaves Juliet alone in the tomb while knowing about her state of mind. “I dare not stay longer,” (Shakespeare 869). Knowing the love of Juliet's life is dead right in front of her, he still abandons her. She then also kills herself with Romeo's dagger to be with him.
...se he believes Juliet to dead, drinks poison to take his own life as a last resort. What Romeo is unaware of is that Juliet is very much alive, so it is very ironic when he says, “Death, that has sucked the honey of thy breath,/ Hath had no power yet upon thy beauty:/ Thou art not conquered; beauty’s ensign yet/ Is crimson in thy lips and in thy cheeks,/ And death’s pale flag is not advanced there” (V iii 101-105). This is fate in the works in the play. When Juliet sees that her love has not rescued her and rather is dead, she kills herself with a dagger found in the proximity. “O happy dagger/ This is thy sheath; there rust and let me die” (V iii 182-183).
Juliet strategizes her disastrous plan and worries, “How if, when I am laid into the tomb, I wake before the time that Romeo come to redeem me?” (Lines 30-32 of Act Four, Scene Three). Juliet is desperate to see Romeo, ergo she plans to fake her death. Her thoughts of Romeo finding her lifeless foreshadows their future. Romeo is deprived of the news of Juliet’s real state of health, therefore he says, “Well, Juliet, I will lie with thee tonight. O mischief, thou art swift to enter the thoughts of desperate men!” (Lines 34-36 of Act Five, Scene One). Once again, Romeo’s perception is only focused on Juliet. His mental instability leads him to think Paris is in the way obtaining true happiness, thus he slays him. Romeo acquires poison, stands beside Juliet, and states, “Here’s to my love! (Drinks.) O true apothecary! Thy drugs are quick. Thus with a kiss I die.” (Lines 119-120 of Act Five, Scene Three). Romeo observes Juliet’s body and determines that he should die beside her. Juliet wakes to his lifeless body, and determines she should commit suicide, as well. Romeo’s foolish decisions lead to the death of himself and
Juliet, desperate to avoid wedding Paris, visits him, with a dagger in hand. In order to avoid her death in that moment, Friar Laurence promises to give her a potion that will allow her to appear dead long enough so that Romeo may be able to return from Mantua. Thus, the two will be able to escape Verona together. He explains “And this distilling liquor drink thou off/When presently through all thy veins shall run/A cold and drowsy humor; for no pulse/No warmth, no breath shall testify thou livest” (4.1.94-96). Friar Laurence describes his plan, saying that the potion Juliet will drink will make her appear deceased. It will give Romeo time to get to the Capulet tomb, and they will be able to live together for the rest of their lives. Although he explains his plan somewhat thoroughly, Friar Laurence goes on to say he will deliver a letter to Romeo, that of which is never delivered by Friar John. Romeo hears news of Juliet's so called passing by his companion, Balthasar. He tells Romeo “Her body sleeps in Capels’ monument/And her immortal part with angels lives/I saw her laid low in her kindred’s vault/And presently took post to tell it to you” (5.1.18-21) Due to how the citizens of Verona believe that Juliet has really passed away, Balthasar truly believes that she is deceased. He explains that he has seen her laid to rest in the
They are then married by Friar Lawrence. On that same morning Mercutio is killed by Tybalt, Romeo the retaliates by killing Tybalt which gets him banished from Verona. Then Juliet's parents arrange a marriage for
All she wants is to be with Romeo, but her father is making her marry Paris. Juliet goes to Friar Lawrence and he comes up with a plan to get Romeo and Juliet together. Juliet has to take a potion to fake die in order for her family to think she's dead and then she will run away with Romeo. Juliet is so in love with Romeo she doesn’t take the time to think about it. Her response to Friar’s plan is, “Give me, give me!
She agreed to marry her sworn enemy after only knowing him for less than a day, Act 2 scene 3 Nurse “Then hie you to Friar Lawrence’ cell; there stays a husband to make you a wife.” The Nurse knew that Romeo was a Montague and that Juliet’s mother and father would never agree to marriage but she told Juliet that she should marry anyways, just in secret. Juliet drank a potion that might have killed her and it made her family think she was dead just so she could not marry someone she didn’t want to. Act 4 scene 1 Juliet ”O, bid me leap, rather than marry Paris, from off the battlements of any tower…”, she lists many other ways to kill herself after this. When she wakes up from the potion to find Tybalt and Romeo dead she has two lines and then stabs herself with almost no thought process at
Final Essay “I went from adolescence to senility, trying to bypass maturity”.-Retired American musician Tom Lehrer. Adolescents often show lack of maturity. Romeo and Juliet is a story about two kids who meet and fall in love on the same day, only to get married a few days later. Then Juliet is supposed to marry another person named Paris after a day of being married to Romeo which then leads to all three of them being dead. In Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare uses figurative language to display that adolescents can make decisions that are not thought through.
Juliet does not want to wed Paris as she is infatuated by Romeo. She “I will not marry yet; and, when I do I swear, / It shall be Romeo, whom you know I hate, / Rather than Paris. These are news indeed!" (Act 3, Scene 5, Lines 121-123). It is clear that Juliet does not have any desire to wed as her thoughts and desires are to be with Romeo. But then, Friar Laurence offers a solution: "Take thou this vial, being then in bed, / And this distilled liquor drink thou off; / When presently through all thy veins shall run / A cold and drowsy humour, for no pulse / shall keep his native progress, but surcease" (Act 4, Scene 1, Lines 93-97). Friar Laurence stated that he can give Juliet a type of beverage which will place her into a state of deep sleep that make people perceive the idea that she is deceased, so she can escape into outcast so she can be with Romeo. However, the wedding had been rescheduled for the day after it was formally meant to take place for which Capulet says "Send for the County; go tell him of this: / I'll have this know knit up tomorrow morning." (Act 4, Scene 2, Lines 23-24). Due to this change, Juliet must drink the substance prior. The arranged marriage is a form of bad fortunes as it prevents Romeo and Juliet from being
so then she will appear dead and not have to marry Paris like her father had arranged for her. The next day was the day of Juliet's wedding where she would be married to Paris. The night before she took the potion, the nurse discovered her lying on her bed looking like she had died. Romeo's man witnesses the funeral of Juliet and he tells Romeo of the news. Romeo is crushed so he buys a poison and heads back to Verona to die next to Juliet in her Capulet's tomb.
After she took the poison Romeo came and thought she was dead so he killed himself. If she never took the poison Romeo and her would never be dead. After Romeo died Juliet was so upset and didn’t want to live without Romeo so she killed herself. “Yea, noise? Then I’ll be brief.
In scene five, act three, Romeo was finding his way into the tomb where Juliet’s supposed dead body was resting. When Romeo found Juliet’s dead body, he brought out his poison and exclaimed that “Thy drugs are quick. Thus with a kiss I die,” (Shakespeare 5. 3. 120), and followed to drink the poison, killing himself. In this passage, Shakespeare explains how Romeo dies, using diction to make the scene romantic. “Thus with a kiss I die,” (Shakespeare 5. 3. 120), can be seen as as a romantic way to die, but it was Romeo’s choice to drink the poison, which ended his life. Furthermore, this decision also resulted in Juliet’s death, shortly after. This passage explains Romeo’s foolishness because instead of killing himself on the spot, he could have waited. Although he would not expect for Juliet to wake up, simply waiting for others to arrive at the tomb to mourn with would have wasted enough time for Juliet to wake up. After some time passed, Juliet woke up from the effects of the potion she drank. When Juliet woke up from her fake coma, she found Romeo dead next to him. She took his dagger and exclaimed “O, happy dagger, This is thy sheath. There rust, and let me die,” (Shakespeare 5. 3. 174-175), and of course, she died shortly after stabbing herself. Shakespeare included
With all the conflict arising between Juliet’s family, Friar Lawrence creates a plan that unfortunately does not succeed. His plan for Juliet is to tell her father she will marry Paris, then go to bed with no one, not even the nurse. After, she will drink a potion to make her seem dead for forty two hours and then have a messenger tell Romeo about it. He will have her put in a vault to wait for Friar to bring her out so she and Romeo can elope. The plan was perfect until tragedy occurs, Benvolio sees Juliet dead and immediately tells Romeo about it.
When the friar hears of this, he devises a plan so that the two lovers can be together. The major climax of the play comes when the friar gives Juliet a potion that will make it seem as though she has died, when in fact she is alive the whole time. While in Mantua, Romeo mistakenly hears that Juliet has actually died and he goes to lay by her side. Just as he takes a vile poison and dies, Juliet awakens to find her love lying dead at her side. She cannot fathom living in a world without Romeo, so she takes his sword and ends her own life.
