Verona

is to blame upon numerous characters involved in their tragic love affair, however there is only one individual who is truly worthy of condemnation. The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare is a catastrophic tale that transpires in Verona, Italy between two star-crossed lovers whose names are Romeo and Juliet. In addition, Romeo’s family the Montagues, are in feud with Juliet's family, the Capulets. The feuding families’ holy consultant and confidant is Friar Lawrence. Friar…

possible conflict would be the culture of Verona. I disagree with this conflict as the plot is advanced by actions of individuals, independent of the culture. Because the actions of Friar Laurence and the Capulets greatly impacts Romeo and Juliet’s actions, I think that the plot is pushed forward by them. Friar Laurence, a member of the church, is a character that Romeo and Juliet often go to for advice and…

However, she was already to Romeo who was exiled from Verona. Juliet did not want to marry Paris, and wanted to be with Romeo. She went to Friar Lawrence for help, and threatened to kill herself saying, “If in thy wisdom thou canst give no help/… And with this knife I’ll help it presently” (IV. Iv.…

by Shakespeare,two families the Montagues and the Capulets constantly keep fighting throughout the play. Every young man in the Verona society was aware of their status and these young men would never fight below their rank. Benvolio is the nephew to the Montagues and he is a very trustworthy friend and counselor. Throughout the play, he mainly serves as the peacemaker.

does the Prince of Verona assume to berate Lords Montague and Capulet for their own damage; “See what a scourge is laid upon your hate…” Following this brief tirade, both Capulet and Montague come to terms with their actions and finally restore a “glooming peace” for the community of Verona. Through the suicides of the young couple, two suicides committed with the intent of immortalising love, the romance between Romeo and Juliet triumphs in restoring balance for all of “fair Verona”.
