Romeo And Juliet Getting Married

Decent Essays
Juliet Capulet never pictured herself getting married, but after she fell in love, the true love she shared with Romeo, Juliet changed her mind. When Lady Capulet asked Juliet how she felt about marriage, Juliet said “It is an honor that I dream not of”, which means Juliet never thought of getting married. However, later in the story, Juliet uses the metaphor “I have bought the mansion of a love, but not possessed it, and though I am sold, not yet enjoyed.” Juliet loves Romeo truly, but they have not yet married. Juliet also told Friar Lawrence, “And before I am married to another man, I will kill myself” this means Juliet doesn’t want to marry Paris because she is married to Romeo, and she doesn’t love Paris, she loves Romeo.

    Weddings in the twenty-first century are quite different than what would have taken place in the time of Romeo and Juliet. Marriage has changed tremendously since Shakespeare wrote Romeo and Juliet; arranged marriage has vanished, marriage customs have changed, and how much goes into preparing a wedding. In the fifteenth century most marriages were arranged by parents or relatives not by marriage. The purpose of arranged marriage was to transfer land and ownership or peace treaty between two families or groups.…

    There are many people you could blame for the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, but one might also say the two households are responsible for the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. An example of how the capulets play a part in this is when lady capulet says “Marry that ‘marry’ is the very theme I came to talk of. Tell me, daughter Juliet, how stands your disposition to get married”(Line fourteen, Act one Scene three, and Document B), the person one would blame in this quote would be the families(Capulet). This shows Lady Capulet is trying to pressure Juliet into getting married. Even after juliet says that she does not want to get married, her mother keeps pushing her into getting married by asking if she can “like of Paris’ love”( Line twenty four, Act…

    -Friar Lawrence (2.6.35-37). This decision is highly problematic, as Juliet is supposed to marry Paris a few days later, not Romeo. However, their immaturity and experience means that they have no idea what they are doing, and that they are going into marriage without really even knowing the other person at all. Judging by the way Romeo talks about Juliet, “Did my heart love till now?…

    The decision that I found to be particularly hasty was Romeo's decision to commit suicide. I believe that this decision was impulsive and fueled by Romeo's emotions. It lead to not only his death but his lover Juliet as well. If Romeo had been more thoughtful instead of letting his grief and desperate thoughts overwhelm him, he could of created a different ending for the play, one not as tragic. Before Romeo made such a decision, he had been waiting for Friar Lawrence in Mantua to send him news of the uplifting sorts when Balthazar had told him that Juliet had died.…

    Throughout the play, the audience sees Lord Capulet’s change from a selfless man to a selfish one. When Paris comes to Lord Capulet and asks for Juliet’s hand, Lord Capulet claims that he is not in a hurry to marry her off. He tells Paris ‘’My will to her consent it but a part / an she, agree within her scope of choice’’ (I. ii. 17-18) which means that Juliet can choose her husband as long as he’s appropriate for her and even challenges Paris to woo her if he can. Lord Capulet is an understanding father and cares for his daughter’s well-being at this point, but the situation changes quickly. When Paris comes after Tybalt is slain, Lord Capulet makes a ‘’desperate tender / Of [his] child’s love.…

    In Conclusion, I think that Romeo is a young, inexperienced and impatient but loyal and brave boy. I think that his naivety plays a huge rule in this because love was taken as an extravagant feeling to have when it was not truly happy as the lovers can experience heartbreak and many other obstacles. It seems as if Romeo only more cautious and deliberate, his devastating ending could have been prevented (even though we have not finished the book yet). Amongst friends especially Mercutio, Romeo shows signs of his social and quick witted persona, even with his fond of verbal jousting that is mainly about sex. Lastly, Romeo is like every other male in the world who only unveils their true self to the people who they trust or who understand them.…

    To begin, Lord and Lady Capulet didn’t listen to Juliet’s request to marry freely (or marry at all). They refused to allow Juliet to choose a husband, and only because Paris was of royal descent. This is evident in Act 1, Scene 2, “My will to her consent is but a part.” Juliet expressed her feeling against marriage in Document B. forced her to marry Paris against her will.…

    Romeo and Juliet rush to get married after their first meeting. For example, when Romeo and Juliet are meeting in the orchard, Juliet says, “Three words, dear Romeo, and good night indeed./If that thy bent of love be honorable,/ Thy purpose marriage, send me word tomorrow,/By one that I’ll procure to come to thee,/Where and what time thou wilt perform the rite;/And all my fortunes at thy foot I’ll lay/And follow thee my lord throughout the world”(2.2.142-148). Although Romeo and Juliet just met earlier that night, Juliet is already proposing and confessing her love to him. This is unexpected, considering their time span of knowing each other. Shakespeare uses this to amplify the audiences emotions of love and warmth towards the characters.…
