The famous Shakespearean tale, Romeo and Juliet, (Juliet and Lord Capulet), is compared with Wonder By Raquel J. Palacio (August Pullman and Nate Pullman). Teenagers in the 21st century really want to have good relationships. Teenagers need to learn the importance of healthy relationships and how to differentiate them from unhealthy relationships. Here are some ways you can have a healthy relationship with your fathers.
Autonomy
Lord Capulet didn’t give Juliet the freedom to choose what she wanted for her life. Once he said to Paris,
“But saying o’er what I have said before. My child is yet a stranger in the world. She hath not seen the change of fourteen years. Let two more summers wither in their pride. Ere we may think her ride to be …show more content…
Later, he arranges for Juliet to get married to Paris saying, “Sir Paris, I will make a desperate tender of my child’s love. I think she will be ruled in all respects by me. Nay, more, I doubt not.” Lord Capulet should have asked Juliet before planning for her marriage.
August Pullman had never gone to school before. His parents were thinking about him going to school. At first, Nate was sceptical of the idea saying, “Sending him off to middle school like a lamb to the slaughter.” He uses this metaphor to describe how vulnerable August is to
school. Although August didn’t want to go to school, Nate told him that, “You don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do. We won’t make you do anything you don’t want to do.”
Parents should be like Nate, who do not force their children into doing things they have not confronted them with, like what Lord Capulet did.
Communication
By not informing Juliet of his decision to marry Paris, Lord Capulet was annoyed when Juliet declined. In Act 3, Scene 5, he is annoyed and shouts at Juliet telling her that if she doesn’t go, “I will drag thee on a hurdle thither. Out, you green sickness. And that we have a curse in having her.” Lord Capulet shouldn’t have reacted this
