Count Paris

Lord Capulet is talking to Paris and asking him if he would consider marrying his daughter. Lord Capulet says, “She is the hopeful lady of my earth./ But woo her, gentle Paris, get her heart;/ my will to her consent is but a part/” (1.2.15-17). Lord Capulet is going out of his way to find his daughter, Juliet, the perfect husband. When he tells Paris, “But woo her, gentle Paris, get her heart;/ my will to her consent is but a part/” he is telling Paris to go charm her and make her fall in love with him. He uses to phrase, “get her heart” to emphasize that Juliet has to actually be in love with Paris before they decide to get married. It is clear that Lord Capulet only wants what's best for Juliet and wants her to be happy. He explains that his permission is only part of her decision through the phrase,”my will to her consent is but a part/”. Lord Capulet wants his daughter to be happy and is working really hard at finding her a husband that deserves her and making sure their love is mutual and pure. Later on in the play, Juliet informes her parents she does not want to marry Paris because, she has already married Romeo. Lord Capulet yells “Doth she not give us thanks?/ Is she not proud? Doth she not count her blest,/ Unworthy as she is, that we have wrought/”(3.4.143-145). He is explaining that Juliet is ungrateful and is not proud that he worked so hard to set her up with someone so amazing. In addition when Lord Capulet says, “Doth she not count her blest,/ Unworthy as she…

It is the instigator of their passionate love that ultimately leads to violence and their eventual death. That is their fatal flaw or hamartia.

Basically, their supposed ‘love’, was actually a delusional fantasy of escaping their lamentable realities by…

male was to engage in feuds, violence, sexual domination, and conquest (Thomas, 2013).Simpson confirms this when he says “draw if you be men” (1.1.62), suggesting that one is less a man if they do not respond to a fight. However, Romeo does not subscribe to this portrayed masculinity. He instead is more feminine and submissive, writing romantic poems and longing for love. Women in this society are the opposite of men; they are objects to be conquered and possessed. Their voices do not count,…

In the play Capulet is portrayed as a kind, considerate and loving father. Whereas in the film (by Baz Luhrmann) Capulet is portrayed as a mean, drunk and naive person.

In Romeo and Juliet, we see two ill-fated lovers from two feuding families fall in love for one another but soon die in the end as a consequence of their love. Teen crushes have a major impact during adolescence, as when Shakespeare explains the story.

Parents shouldn’t laugh off their children’s crushes, because teens can end up harming themselves and/or…

No, I have forgotten that girl and all the sadness she brought me”(Shakespeare). Friar Lawrence responded with “Have you given up so quickly on Rosaline, whom you loved so much? Then young men love with their eyes, not with their hearts. Jesus and Mary, how many tears did you cry for Rosaline?”(Shakespeare). Not only was Romeo…
