In Act 1, Scene 2, Romeo compares his thwarted love for Rosaline to ______________. Madness and imprisonment. 7. The Capulet servant approaches Romeo in Act 1, Scene 2 to ask him what? If Romeo can read.
Friar Laurence realises that Romeo is very hasty and quick in things, since Romeo had lost his love for Rosaline in one night. Therefore, he tells Romeo that he should slow down a bit. However, Romeo stood firm in his decision of loving Juliet. Friar Laurence quotes in Act II Scene III that, “Young men’s love then lies/Not truly in their hearts, but in their eyes.” This describes that Friar Laurence speaks wisely. However, Friar Laurence isn’t very clever when he tried to marry Juliet and Romeo.
Is Romeo fearful of the future? Explain what he is saying in the following lines: “Then love-devouring death do he dare It is enough I may but call her mine.” (lines 7-8) He doesn’t really care about the future. Just that he can hold hands and be with Juliet right now is enough for him. 3. What warning does Friar Laurence give in lines 9-10?
This quote tells me that this is not Friar Laurence’s fault because he may have helped Romeo along but he was not the person who did the actions that caused the eventual death of Romeo and Juliet. He may have been naïve to marry them but he wasn’t the one who got married. If Friar Laurence refused, would Romeo have not married Juliet? I think not, Romeo was to in love to not have gotten married and if Friar Laurence refused he could have done something even more impulsive. I think Friar Laurence was trying to get the best out of this situation and advise them through it.
Friar is Not Neutral In Romeo and Juliet, Friar Lawrence is a key character since he is partly responsible for the death of Romeo and Juliet by providing them assistance; making him a character that is not neutral in the story. Friar Lawrence hesitantly agrees to marry the couple after advising Romeo that these “violent delights have violent ends” therefore asking the couple to “love moderately” (II. vi. 9/14). He understands that this marriage is based upon an impulsive decision made by the couple since he knows how Romeo reacts to love.
Friar Lawrence: Unnoticed Importance In the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, many secondary characters play an essential role in the play. Friar Lawrence is one of the most important secondary characters in the play. He marries Romeo and Juliet, helps Romeo and Juliet grow in their love for one another, and eventually helps end the feud between the Capulets and the Montagues. He helps the characters in the play grow in a way they would not have on their own. Friar Lawrence affects the action of Romeo and Juliet by marrying Romeo and Juliet, helping Romeo escape Verona safely, and helping them reunite by giving Juliet a sleeping potion to fake her death.
William Shakespeare establishes Benedick’s character by using diction and imagery to show his changed viewpoint on marriage. Benedick is strongly opinionated and rarely ever let’s his guard down when it comes to feelings or love. After he overhears that Beatrice is in love with him, he ponders what to do. The characterization is established through diction, “And wise, but for loving me; by my troth it is not addition to her wit, nor no great argument of her folly, for I will be horribly in love with her!” (II.3.235-237). He is saying that is might not be wise for loving him, but he swears it won’t be stupid for he is going to be “horribly” in love with her.
489 lines (161-163). That was a line in the book Romeo and Juliet, written by William Shakespeare. That quote was said by Romeo in the very beginning of the book because he is so love sick over this girl named Rosaline. Throughout the book Romeo and Juliet, both Romeo and Juliet’s perspective on love changes along with their personalities. 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.
When Juliet objected to Lord Capulet’s decision of marrying her to Paris, the nurse advised Juliet to do as her father said (Act III, scene v, lines 213-226). Juliet was already married to Romeo and refused to go against her wedding vows. Without the support from her nurse, Juliet goes to the Friar. He gives her a potion that allows Juliet to fake her death and live happily ever after with Romeo. The Friar and Juliet devise a plan, and the Friar sends a letter that informs Romeo of the plan.
Mercutio explains that love is a game. He advises Romeo, “If love be rough with you, be rough with love; / Prick love for pricking, and you beat love down.” (I, iv). Mercutio means that if somebody causes Romeo to endure anger or depression, then Romeo should counter that by forcing that person to
