The Relationship Between Parents and Children Presented in William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet
Romeo and Juliet is a play written by William Shakespeare. It is seen
as one of the most familiar of his plays. It is set in Verona, a city
in Rome.
The play is set around a set of two feuding families, the Montagues
and the Capulets. The cause of the feud is unknown, and doesn't become
clear throughout the play. Their hatred for each other however, is
strongly evident throughout the play.
The main characters, Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet, fall madly in
love with each other at first sight. As they are both young and
impressionable, they begin a passionate relationship, and agree to
secretly marry after only knowing each other less than two hours.
The scene I am focusing on, is the scene after they have just
consummated their marriage. Romeo has to leave abruptly, as his
banishment for killing Juliet's cousin is in force, and if he is
caught, he will be sentenced to death. Juliet apprehensively lets him
leave. Thinking that she will never see him again, she starts to cry.
This is when her mother, Lady Capulet enters. Juliet's relationship
with her mother is seen as quite formal. 'Who is't that calls? It is
my lady mother…Madam. This makes the relationship not as a mothers to
a daughter should be, as Juliet is calling her mother Lady, leading
the reader to believe she is not that close to her mother.
Lady Capulet then tries to console Juliet, as she thinks that she is
crying over the death of her cousin, and not of the separation of her
and her husband. 'Evermore weeping for your cousin's death?' She then
tries to make her stop by saying 'What, wilt thou wash him from his
grave with tears?' This shows that Lady Capulet could be slightly
impatient, and would like Juliet to stop crying.
Juliet is deceiving her mother, as she knows her mother thinks she is
crying over Tybalt. 'Feeling so the loss, I cannot but ever weep for

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.

Since Romeo and Juliet do not really have any parental influence in their lives, they do not know how resolve their conflict of star-crossed love.
