The ultimate fate and destiny of Romeo and Juliet who would do anything to be together but the tragedy of death cannot be avoided because of their own actions,; young immature love and the barriers of a long standing family feud. Romeo and Juliet’s fate is caused by their poor decision making and immaturity. At the beginning of the play Romeo is madly in love with Rosaline, but when Romeo lays eyes on Juliet from afar he forgets Rosaline instantly and he falls in love with Juliet. Romeo’s love for Juliet is immediate and spontaneous, love at first sight. “O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright.
Explore the ways Shakespeare makes Act 1 Scene 5 of Romeo and Juliet dramatically effective. Romeo and Juliet is a tragic love story, yet there are many themes in the play, mainly love and hate. The love is between Romeo and Juliet and the hatred between their families. In Romeo and Juliet, Act 1 Scene 5 is important for two major reasons. Firstly, it is important because Romeo and Juliet meet for the first time.
After falling in love with each other and kissing they both find out their love is forbidden due to the fact their families are enemies, so in order to stay together they risked everything and got married by Friar Lawrence. And as things were getting better everything was ruined after Juliet’s cousin Tybalt gets into a fight with Mercutio and kills him filling Romeo up with rage and he killed Tybalt which got him banished. So as Juliet finds out the news she fakes her death to escape from marrying Paris but nobody told Romeo this. He poisons himself and dies next to Juliet who so happened to awake after he dies and affected by Romeo not waking up, she stabs herself next to him. They died together in each other’s arms and the parents after finding out the secret love decide to make peace although they lost their only kids.
Friar Lawrence, in this play, helps Romeo to fulfill his desires of marrying Juliet and always has good intentions for Romeo. In the second act, Romeo was in a hurry to marry Juliet, and he pleads with the Friar to conduct their marriage as Romeo was in "haste". Friar Lawrence agrees to this plea, in the hope that the feud between the Capulets and the Montagues would end and that the marriage will bring the families to make peace with each other. However, his intentions are destroyed when Romeo and Juliet commit suicide for each other and die because of their sworn love for each other. This is because in the play, Juliet refused to marry Paris and so the Friar offers his help again and gives her a special potion that makes her appear dead.
Friar Laurence knows that Romeo and Juliet have feelings for each other. Friar Laurence is even the man that was willing to marry Romeo and Juliet. While Romeo and Friar Laurence were waiting for Juliet on the altar, Friar Laurence tells Romeo,“These violent delights have a violent ends/ And in their triumph die.” (2.5.9-10) Friar Laurence knows that their marriage will bring about consequences, and he still chose to marry them. If Friar Laurence didn’t marry Romeo and Juliet, their deaths wouldn’t have occurred. After Romeo is banished from Verona, Friar Laurence helps Juliet come up with a plan for her not to marry Paris.
Furthermore, before Romeo attends the Capulet’s party, he says, “Some consequence yet hanging in the stars/shall bitterly begin this earful date. (lines 1.4.114-115” Romeo already predicts that destiny has already chosen the consequence if he dares attending this party, where he will meet Juliet. Their final death is the “consequence” that he is talking about and bitterness that starts the pathway to their tragedy is their first encounter, since they are supposed to be enemies. In addition, it was a destiny that the children of two families who have held a grudge for a long time, have fallen in love. After discovering Juliet’s true identity, Romeo says, “O dear account!
Who do you consider is most responsible for the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet? Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet all ends in a terrible tragedy, however there has to be someone to blame for this, but who? I strongly believe that Friar Lawrence is responsible for the tragedy. The main reasons why I think he is to blame is because he married Romeo and Juliet without anyone’s permission; he also helped them to have a secret night together; gave Juliet a dangerous potion; faked her funeral breaking the hearts of her family and he continued abusing the use of confession throughout the play. The most disgraceful thing is that he is a man of god and he committed all of these horrendous sins!
From the beginning of Act 2, Scene 3 it is obvious to the reader that the relationship between Juliet and Romeo is destined to be a tragic one as both teenagers derive from families with an ongoing feud against each other. Within the play, it is evident that one tragedy just drives onto another tragedy as they all manage to interlink in some way. The first main event which had ‘started’ the line of tragedies between Romeo and Juliet would be when Romeo and Juliet had met at the Capulet’s ball. Initially, Romeo intended to attend the ball in order to catch sight of Rosaline however when he had met Juliet it was ‘love at first sight’ and two lovers become entirely entrapped with their binding love to each other. They become oblivious as to what is going on in the rest of their lives.
This feud brought problems along with it, such as the killing of Tybalt by Romeo. Juliet had said: “What’s in a name?” which explains her ill fate of being a Capulet and Romeo being a Montague. When Romeo tells his servant, “Ay, mine own fortune in my misery.” This sentence tells us he does not care for what Juliet’s name, nor his is. Bad luck plays a major role in the story of two-star-crossed lovers. There is an example of this when Romeo attends the Capulet’s party, and this is where he is first exposed to Juliet and where the misfortune begins.
