If Capulet had not moved up the wedding the Juliet and Romeo could have happily escaped together. Finally, the family feud between the Capulet’s and the Montague’s. During the beginning of the story the chorus gives us a story overview by saying, “From forth the fatal loins of these two foes a pair of star crossed lovers take their life” (7). If the two families were never feuding then Romeo and Juliet could have been happily married. The feud is the main issue in the story.
As I said before in the beginning of the book Romeo and Juliet, Romeo is gloomy and feeling hopeless about love because Rosaline (the women he “loves”) is not going to get married. He says: “She is too fair, too wise, wisely to far, To merit bliss by making
If this was the case, Juliet may not have felt so driven to take the potion and fake her death. Capulet’s forcing and uncaring parenting caused Juliet’s death. Above all, fate’s unavoidable reach is at most to blame for Juliet’s death. Fate’s first prediction was “one dead in the bottom of a tomb,” meaning when Juliet faking of her death. Fate also predicted “a pair of star-crossed lovers tak[ing] their live[s].” Out of everyone in the play, fate is at most to blame for Juliet’s death because of it’s unavoidable and destined to happen.
Romeo was banished because he killed Tybalt. Romeo killed Tybalt because Tybalt killed his bestfriend. Without the banishment of Romeo, Juliet would not have thougth of such a horrific plan to reunite with Romeo. "Hold, daughter. I do spy a kind of hope, which craves as desperate an execution as that is desperate which we would prevent.
“Three words, dear Romeo, and a goodnight indeed./If they bent of love be honourable/Thy propose marriage, send me word tomorrow”(II.ii.142-144) After only mere hours of knowing Romeo, Juliet writes off her hand in marriage. Juliet hastefully makes the decision to get married without thinking of the outcomes. Juliet ignores the fact that Romeo and her family are enemies, and makes a choice based on what she personally wants. Also, when faced with the issues her secret marriage caused, one sees Juliet act even more as a child and her quick fix mind set causes the biggest disaster of the play. Speaking to the Friar Lawrence of the suggestion to use dead/undead poison, Juliet replies, “Give me, give me!
Friar Lawrence know they are from two different feuding families. He should have known this would cause problems. If a person agrees to marry to members of feuding families then he should think of the problems it will cause. Juliet thinks the only way to fix things between her and Romeo is to make people think she is dead, so she can run away with Romeo.
This change of emotions is caused by her overpowering love for Romeo. Her intense love for Romeo gives her to forgive him, as she thinks of reasons to justify Romeo’s actions. From “That villain cousin would have killed my husband” and “My husband lives, that Tybalt would have slain, / And Tybalt’s dead, that would have slain my husband.”, she convinces herself that Tybalt would have killed Romeo even if he did not die first, hence showing her loyalties lie with Romeo, not Tybalt or the Capulets any longer. Therefore eventually she reaches a conclusion, “Back foolish tears, back to your native spring”, that “All this is comfort, wherefore I weep then?” that it should be a good thing that Tybalt is dead so that Romeo can live and they can be
The feud between the two families played a huge part of the deaths of the two lovers. Since Romeo had the last name of Montague and Juliet had the last name of Capulet they were to be sworn enemies. Romeo and Juliet go against their parents and marry their own “enemy”. Because they got married they feel that they should keep
In other words, he believes that Tybalt, or Romeo or both of them shall lie dead with Mercutio. Without taking into consideration the future consequences of this fight, Romeo takes the life of Tybalt, Juliet’s cousin. Juliet, Romeo’s consort for life is also one who is very hasty with matters having to do with her true love. Juliet as a teenager is very quick in making decisions which have to do with her living ‘happily ever after’ with her devotee. One specific instance when she is at the peak of
For example in act two scene 3 Romeo and Juliet get married against their parents’ wishes. The quote 2,3,94 “to turn your households’ rancour to pure love” this hyperbole is exaggerating how the marriage might turn the hatred between the Capulet’s and Montague’s into love. Another example of disobeying authority is act four scene one where Friar Lawrence gives Juliet the potion to make her seem dead even though God is the only one who can decide life and death. The quote 2,1,77 “O bid me leap, rather than marry Paris” is an extreme metaphor is showing how Juliet would rather kill herself then marry Paris as her parents wish for her to do. In
