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 …show more content…

In the scene when Romeo find out that Juliet is a Capulet, he decides to go with his gut. He could have avoided the whole thing, had he just talked to someone.

Romeo and Juliet, the tale abhorred by all high school students. The archaic language, the sappy love story – it’s no wonder that a chorus of groans occur whenever the name Shakespeare is uttered. The main characters in Romeo in Juliet are unsurprisingly Romeo and Juliet – the star-crossed lovers. Romeo and Juliet are lovers whose families are engaged in a feud for many tears. Despite this, their love flourishes. However, the pay still concludes in a tragedy, because of the character’s flaws. In Romeo and Juliet, Romeo’s desperation and impulsiveness, Juliet’s maturity and rebellion, and Tybalt’s cockiness and aggression.
The whole story beings how Romeo fell deeply in love with Juliet. Romeo and Juliet were deeply in love they both knew that at one point in life they would get married so young, as if the next day Romeo and Juliet were married and happy. But there was something wrong Romeo was a Montague and Juliet was a Capulet both families didn’t really get along.

Romeo and Juliet is a tragic story about a pair of star-crossed lovers whose demises were unexpected to most. However, their deaths were a result of their impulsiveness. It caused their problematic marriage, Romeo’s preventable death, as well as Juliet’s preventable death.
Juliet does not only isolate herself, she also loses trust within her family. During the famous balcony scene, Juliet is talking to herself, unaware that Romeo is listening. She explains that she will “Deny thy father and refuse thy name...And ill no longer be a Capulet” (2.2.36-38). The fact that Juliet will “Deny thy father” means that she will go against what her family thinks is right. Also, not respecting the rules her father has set in place is example of betrayal and respect which readers would agree is a value of the Capulets. Juliet betraying her family is an example of going against the values that her family has set firmly in place. The fact that Juliet is willing to betray her family proves that getting into a relationship too quickly can cause an altering in behavior and a change of beliefs. Later on in the play, as Juliet has returned from Friar Lawrence's cell, she goes to her father begging that he forgives her. She falls to her knees in front of her father and says “Pardon, I beseech you! Henceforth I am ever ruled by you” (4.2.21-22). This quote demonstrates that Juliet is putting her feelings before her family. Since she jumped into a relationship with Romeo so quickly, she had the sudden rush of being in love and forgets about her true values that her family has set in place. She also seems to forget her own personal values. Juliet says that “Henceforth I am ruled by you” meaning she

Because of this they get married in secret.

“LOVE IS A Certain Inborn Suffering derived from the sight of and excessive Meditation upon the beauty of the opposite sex, which causes each one to wish above all things the embraces of the other, and by common desires carry out all of love’s precepts in the other’s Embrace” is definition of medieval love. But Really, How much does Shakespeare’s Romeo And Juliet comes to terms of traditional “ love”? Think about Romeo in the very beginning of the play, when he talks about Rosaline. He describes, rather about her looks as he says: “ O, she is rich in beauty, only poor”. Romeo talks of his unattainable love to the beautiful Rosaline. He sees Rosaline as strong, for she would never be hit by cupid’s arrow. This is an example of courtly love. He mourns that she would never be with him. In Elizabethan time, Courtly Love was accepted in every day life, and it was not suppose to lead to marriage. Poor Romeo was not able to receive love back from Rosaline and he uses oxymoron’s to show is his confusion“ O Brawling loves, o loving hate”. He also adds a little sexual element“ Nor ope her lap to saint-seducing gold”. Now we ask, Does Romeo only like Rosaline for her body and appearance?Words like “ the precious treasure of his eyesight lost” and imagery of blindness and darkness all relate to the fact that Romeo sees loves as a bad thing. Yet Courtly Love is much like the tradition of “ Arranged Marriage”. Today, we see this as destruction to our freedom and our right to chose, we mos...

Easy relationships aren't always good either, having a relationship where you never fight or disagree on anything might just mean that you can’t talk to the person you are with. Both of these types of relationships are portrayed in Of Mice and Men written by John Steinbeck, and in the Romeo and Juliet written by William Shakespeare. George and Lennie have a stronger relationship than Romeo and Juliet, because George and Lennie have goals that they want to accomplish together, like getting
Romeo and Juliet is a romantic love story about a young lad named Romeo who has fallen in love with Lady Juliet, but is unable to marry her because of a long-lasting family feud. The play ends in the death of both these characters and the reunion of the friendship between the families. Romeo is in love with Juliet, and this is a true, passionate love (unlike the love Paris has for her or the love Romeo had for Rosaline) that nothing can overcome, not even the hatred between their two families that is the reason for the death of their two children. Throughout the play, Shakespeare thoroughly explores the themes of both true love and false love and hatred. Without either of these themes, the play would loose its romantic touch and probably would not be as famous as it is today.
