    This causes great conflict between not only Juliet and her parents, but between her, the nurse, Romeo, and Friar Laurence. “Parents deciding a daughter’s future, forced to marry a man she doth not know Romeo spends his last nighttime with her before his banishment hence from ‘ere thrown. Her mother wants him poisoned, laid to rest, her father wants her future ruined, gone. If she doth not obey his command best, he shalt disown thee; banished like a prawn. Now Juliet is off to see Laurence where she shalt find safety from her parents” (Act III, Prologue: A Sonnet).…

Through his actions, Friar Laurence clearly shows that he cares about Romeo and is very close to him, even though he makes desperate, questionable choices. This desperation, however, is caused by Romeo, whose impulsive actions manipulate the friar to work towards his misguided interests, leading to his fateful marriage to…

    (Lady Capulet, Ⅰ.Ⅲ.11-13). Lady Capulet wanted the Nurse to leave so she could speak to Juliet privately, but she remembers that the Nurse knows Juliet better and asks her to stay. This helps the plot move forward with the way that the Nurse comforts Juliet and what the Nurse does for Juliet. The Nurse relayed plans back and forth between Romeo and Juliet, and the plans they made were big plot points that pushed the plot on. This relationship is different from some of the others because of how much the Nurse wanted to help Juliet and how much she cared for her, it also helped that while they are mainly examples of familial love they were friends on some…

    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.…

    Relationships Within Families in Romeo and Juliet Did you know, less than 2% of people marry their high school sweethearts or their “first love”? Well, in the book Romeo and Juliet love at first sight and “first loves” are a big part of the book. In the time of the 1500s, it was a regularity to have your children raised by a nurse and not by the child’s parents. Arranged types of marriage were another common nonchalant concept. In the book Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare, the author emphasizes that neither Romeo or Juliet were very close to their parents by not having strong bonds with their parents, by Romeo and Juliet becoming more and more rebellious in the modern sense towards their parents, and by how their parents come off, as to feeling…

    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).
