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.
She always seemed to want the best for Juliet and do good things for her but she also seemed confused throughout the story. One thing she did in the story that shows this was when she conspired with Friar Laurence about a plan to give the new made bridegroom their honeymoon night. She wanted Juliet to still have her honeymoon although Romeo had been banished. She saw this as a way for her to show how much she cared and it truly worked. On the other hand, when Juliet was in desperate need for help, the Nurse didn’t do her very much good.
One of them, as said before, is his failure to make outcomes; another one of his flaws is his impulsive nature. Romeo, after having just met Juliet, decides he wants to marry her. Friar Lawrence even warned Romeo about moving to fast . Throughout the play, Romeo made many unwise decisions and for all of them, he had to suffer afterwards. Evidence of his impulsive nature is highlighted in his journey to Juliet’s house to express his love for her when he barely knows her.
When Romeo finds out the news that he is banished, he reacts immaturely. So the friar bluntly says, “art thou a man? They form cries out thou art; thy tears are womanish.” (III.iii.109) The friar is saying that he shouldn’t be crying over something like this, and that he’s not manly. There’s always a time and place for everything. People can act completely different from how they really are.
This is further illustrated when Juliet is forced to marry Count Paris when Friar Lawrence presents her with an alternative, “I’ll give thee remedy”. Through The friar suggesting a substitute to Juliet’s fate, he doesn’t let her take responsibility for not telling her parents about her vows to Romeo hence he shows weak judgement and a deficit of thought. Friar Lawrence can be further held accountable for the suicide of Juliet, when at her discovery of Romeos suicide, he abandons her, “I dare no longer stay”. Through this action Friar Lawrence exhibits
In the play Romeo and Juliet, many conflicts had made the play very interesting and kept your attention. Romeo and Juliet had fallen in love but then found out that their families don't like each other. They both ended up dying. I feel as if Friar Lawrence was most responsible for the outcome in Romeo and Juliet because he married them and gave Juliet the potion. Many other things would have happened if Friar did not get involved.
You tallow-face!” (III.v.151-157) Its obvious, that Lord Cap is mad, but its Romeo that Juliet doesn’t want to marry Paris for. Lord Cap was the one who said Romeo is a gentlemen and how Verona brags of him. As a matter of fact, this is not the only evidence proving Lord Caps transformations. He carries on with the yelling at Juliet. “Hang thee, young baggage!
Romeo also implies he feels something bad is going to happen which will ultimately end in his death. 5,1,6 “I dreamt my lady came and found me dead” dramatic irony is found in this quote as Shakespeare was trying to hint the audience that something bad is going to happen. In conclusion, disobeying authority or it can have bad results is an important theme of Romeo and Juliet. Nevertheless, authority is not the main message, love and fate are as important as
The Nurse calling Romeo “naught" and “dissemblers”, speaking-ill of him and cursing “Shame come to Romeo!” is a catalyst in helping to clarify her feelings. Immediately after the Nurse says that of Romeo, Juliet regains control of herself and realises her grounded loyalties to Romeo. This can be proved by her defending Romeo, telling the Nurse “He was not born to shame”. Her sense of resolution is further accentuated through her rhetorical question, “Shall I speak ill of him that is my husband?” Hence she has evidently put herself as Romeo’s wife first, and cousin of Tybalt, a Capulet, second. This change of emotions is caused by her overpowering love for Romeo.
