Comparing Act 3 Scene 5 Of William Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet

Improved Essays
And yet soon after, Juliet subsides into sobs and blatantly refuses to marry Paris, which is

more than a little conspicuous given their situation. She cries to Friar Lawrence, seeking a

way to alleviate their predicament and assuring him that she will go to any lengths to be with

Romeo. This, in itself, is a red flag: that she would risk grave danger to both their lives for the

simple joy of company. She thinks not of her family, and nothing of the other loves in her life,

demanding, “Give me, give me! O, tell not me of fear!” . Her one concern is being with

Romeo.Then, when events take a tragic turn and she finds Romeo, dead of his own tragic

flaw, passionate impetuousness, Juliet indulges in this mistake herself and commits suicide.

    Subsequently, this causes great losses of trust and empathy towards, as well as emotionally separating the parents. Furthermore, Juliet, now left alone at a crucial point, has only one person left to turn to: Friar Lawrence. After receiving the potion from the Friar, on the eve of her wedding to Paris, she purposely requests to be “[left] to [herself]” (IV,iii, 1, 2). Although it is not uncommon for young teenagers to sleep without having the company of a parental figure, Juliet’s behavior could be taken as wariness of the Nurse’s presence. Thus, the Nurse can only hope for Juliet to consider changing her mind about Paris and to forgive her for betraying her trust.…
