Companionship of a Child’s Mistakes and Their Consequences in Literature
In today’s life, arguments between parents and their children occur quite often. You may even be able to think about a time in which you’ve argued with a parent or sibling, which resulted in tension between the two of you for a while. Disagreements between one person and another occur not only in real life, but also in famous fictional worlds, such as Romeo and Juliet. In today’s life, Romeo and Juliet, and Attack on Titan, issues dealing with disagreements between children and their parental figures continuously occur, and often lead to to detriment, or a disservice for both the parental figure, the child, and even others. In Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, these arguments and fights are quite persistent. Within Verona, the Montague and Capulet families share a deep hatred for one another. Their families would prefer to not interact and cooperate with one another, due to unknown reasons. Lords Montague and Capulet make it apparent to their families that it would be an outrage for members of both parties to befriend one another, let alone have a romantic relationship with each other. Despite the beliefs and orders of their parents, Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet find that they deeply love one another, and

This has been proven in numerous books, including Romeo and Juliet, in which Juliet goes against the orders of her father, and ends up deceased. It has also been shown in Attack on Titan, in which Eren fights his captain, which leads to the death of their commander, and a burden left on his best friend. These books and real life situations show that not coming to an agreement with your parental figures or guardians may thoroughly damage your relationship with them, and make situations worse for them, you, and possibly even
The love that Romeo and Juliet share completely opposes the deep roots of anger and hate between their parents. The quote from the Chorus best states this. Chorus: Two houses, both alike in dignity ? From ancient grudge break to new mutiny ? A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life: Whose misadventured piteous overthrows, Doth with their death bury their
In William Shakespeare’s tragic play Romeo and Juliet, two young lovers from opposing households make impetuous decisions which ultimately lead to the suicide of both lovers (Romeo and Juliet). Juliet, one lover, has mentors that fail her in the play because of their ignorance of her emotional needs and growing independence as a teenager. These mentors are Juliet’s former wet nurse and guardian, the Nurse, Juliet’s mother, Lady Capulet, and Juliet’s father, Lord Capulet.
Many parents feel as if their job is to protect their children from any harm or difficult decisions that may come their way. In the screen write Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, the parents are in control of almost every aspect of their own child’s life. Romeo and Juliet takes place in the fourteenth century in Verona, Italy. Romeo is a Montague, Juliet is a thirteen-year-old Capulet, and Paris is related to Prince Escalus. Also, the Montague and Capulet families despise each other. Consequently, Romeo and Juliet fall in love when they first meet each other at a party. Because of the family feud, they cannot let their parents know about their love, so Juliet and Romeo marry in secret. Also, Juliet’s father, Lord Capulet, promises Juliet’s
upon them, but they have a subtle yet firm grasp on their children’s. lives. They use this grasp to guide, not to force, their children. However, in the time of Romeo and Juliet, the parents had control over the household, the father more so than the mother. They would tell their children how to live.
Shakespeare has been know for many plays but one of his famous one is “Romeo and Juliet” Which has two teens from rivalling families who fell in love with each other but through misunderstandings and not well thought out plans by their mentors led to both Romeo and Juliet’s death by suicide. There were many ways that these “Star-crossed lovers” could avoided their fate with more thought out ideas and bring more people into their plans but untimely they died from plans from their mentors. What is the Relationship between Romeo and Juliet parents? Well Romeo’s relationship with his parents is they care for him very deeply. His mother was very relieved when he was not at the quarreled in the market. “O, where is Romeo?/Saw him today?/Right glad
In the play of Romeo and Juliet the way Romeo and Juliet act towards their parents is astoundingly rebellious and disobedient. Throughout the play both characters lie and disobey their parents. The way that Romeo acts towards both of his parents is so rebellious that it ends up getting him banished. Juliet disobeys her family and the nurse so much that none of them ever have the slightest clue of the plan which ends up killing her. If either character had thought out their actions through the entirety of the play and told a parent what is unfolding, both of them could have lived. The way that Romeo and Juliet both interact with their parents is a web of lies. The way both families feel toward their children is love
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 of each other. Since Romeo and Juliet do not really have any parental influence in their lives, they do not know how to 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.
The Conflict Between Two Families in William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet The play ‘Romeo And Juliet’ is a very dramatic one. The conflict between the two families is key to the play as a whole. If they’re where no. conflict. They would just be allowed to be together.
Firstly, the Capulets and Montagues are at odds with each other. Members of each house and servants break into a sword fight, clashing with each other. Sampson says "Draw, if you be men. Gregory, remember thy swashing blow." (Act 1, Scene 1, Line 60). The feuding between the two families motivates Sampson to challenge the Capulets. Another example of how the two houses despise each other is what Romeo and his friends have to do to get into the Capulet feast. So they will not be recognized, Romeo, Mercutio, and Benvolio wear comic masks to hide their faces. Mercutio says, "Give me a case to put my visage in" (Act 1, Scene 4, Line 29). They do not want to be recognized because of the hatred between the two houses. Also, Romeo and Juliet are not supposed to be in love: "My only love sprung from my only hate! / Too early seen unknown, and known too late! / Prodigious birth of love it is to me, / That I must love a loathed enemy." says Juliet (Act 1, Scene 5, Lines 137-140). They are not supposed to love each other because it just so happens that each of their houses despise each other. It is unfortunate for Romeo and Juliet that their two families are against each other, because this means that they are not supposed to be married.
Rita Mae Brown once said, ¨Good judgment comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgment¨. Parents, as older family members, have had many experiences in their life to gain better judgment than their offspring. William Shakespeare displayed the ideas of wise parents and their attempts to influence their daughters choice of who she married in Romeo & Juliet. This classic play is the tragic tale of two forbidden lovers from separate families. Romeo and Juliet loved each other, but things soon got complicated and they ended up dead. Juliet’s father, Capulet, wanted Juliet to marry Paris and stay away from Romeo.
Parents and children do not always seem to get along due to the fact that the children strive to overthrow their parents. The myths of the Greeks and Romans emulate their core values in which the kings were fearful of their children being too powerful.
Romeo and Juliet is a book about two star crossed lovers who are from feuding families. It all started when Romeo finds out that Juliet is a Capulet while at the party, but instead of seeking guidance from friends or his parents, he just goes for it. He decides in the heat of the moment that this is a good idea, and he drags on the improbability of this romance. Once Juliet sees Romeo, she tells him that if he doesn’t leave, and they don’t end this love now, her father's army will surely kill him. He didn’t listen to what Juliet was saying to him to protect him, all he was worried about was how lonely he would be without her. Romeo was then banned from the kingdom after the death of Tybalt, and he is distraught. He runs to Friar Laurence
In the classic romantic tale of The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, the main characters, Romeo and Juliet are deeply in love with each other, but from the beginning of the play we know that they would never be able to be together because of family disputes. When reading the prologue, it says “Two households, both alike in dignity, from ancient grudge break to new mutiny, where civil blood makes civil hands unclean” (Shakespeare Prologue.1-4). Before the play even starts, we know how much these families hate each other and that blood is involved with a bad ending for all. Romeo comes from the Montague’s, and Juliet comes from the Capulet’s. These two families were in war with each other from the beginning of the story and these family disputes play a huge role in the death of Romeo and Juliet. Romeo has a passion for love that is unbreakable and he will do anything to get who he wants no matter the consequences that might follow. An example of this is
The tragedy King Lear by William Shakespeare ought to be seen as a lesson on what not to do as a parent. By picking favorites, King Lear and the Earl of Gloucester leave a lasting impact on their children 's psyche, ultimately leading to them committing horrible crimes. The rash judgments, violent reactions, and blindness of both Lear and Gloucester lead to both their and their children 's demise. As a result, all of the father-child relationships in the play begin to collapse.
The hatred between the Montagues’ and the Capulates’ are also working against the couple. While Romeo and Juliet are seemingly deeply in love, the rest of their families were continually battling it out, with death usually being the end result. How could two lovers keep a relationship together with so much violence and hated without totally abandoning their families? I feel that this is another example that the couple wasn’t deeply in love. This hate is shown with several “battle” scenes between the two families.
