Capulet becomes enraged at Juliet when she refuses to marry Paris and go with her parent’s wishes. He shouts, “Speak not, reply no, do not answer me”, when Juliet has the nerve to stand up to him and have her share of her opinion. Capulet, not believing this, orders her not to answer him back, stating that he will have his way, as he says, “Do not answer me.” Although Juliet tries to prevent her marriage with Paris, her father stands his ground. “Or I will drag thee on a hurdle thither. Out you green-sickness carrion, out you baggage.
But after her father yells at her and tells her if she doesn’t marry she’ll be kicked out of the house; she goes to Friar Laurence for advice. When Juliet takes the potion Friar Laurence gives her she has to think about it. This is something Romeo probably wouldn’t do. But love over comes her decision and she takes it. Nobody tells Romeo that it’s just a potion and Juliet’s not really died, he buys poison and goes to Juliet’s tomb.
She spied on Hamlet through requirement of her father and also she only spied on him to figure out information that pertained to her. She first began spying on Hamlet during Act III while her father Polonious and the King hide behind a curtain. They requested that she find out whether Hamlet truly loved her or not. After she began talking to Hamlet, he humiliates her by replying to her statement with “you should not have believed me, for virtue cannot so inoculate our old stock but we shall relish of it. I love you not” (III.i.127-129).
John s regretting the affair he and Abigail had. He just wants to forget about it. “Abby, you’ll put it out of mind I’ll not be comin’ for you more.”(Procter 1246). Abigail can’t stand that John does not want her no longer it is eating at her and they continue to be angry. “How do you call heaven!
In this situation, Ophelia is verbally abused by Hamlet, much to the indifference of the king and her father. “When, at the scene's close, the two ‘lawful espials’ (Shakespeare, 3.1.32) sweep from the room, no line exists to suggest that either moves to comfort or to help Ophelia from the site” (Dane,
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.
Laertes tries to caution his sister to “ … Keep within the rear of your affection…” He tells her if she gives into her desire, she will only get hurt in the end. Polonius’ advice is different from Laertes, as where Laertes is looking out for his sister because he loves, when Polonius is only looking out for himself. Polonius calls Ophelia naïve, he says that Ophelia does not understand pediment that she have gotten her self-involved in. Polonius tells Ophelia that she should not believe the promises Hamlet has made for her, that he is deceiving her by swearing his love, his vows “ …they are brokers, Not of that dye which their investments shows...” they are not as wholesome as they appear. Polonius forbids Ophelia to see Hamlet
He pushes them into a hasty secret marriage, without the knowledge or permission of their warring parents. This sets the stage for the secrets that create the tragedy to come. Unable to face the banishment for killing Tybalt, Romeo seeks the advice of Friar Lawrence who scolds him for his despair, “Hast thou slain Tybalt? Wilt thou slay thyself, and slay thy lady that in thy life lives by doing damned hate upon thyself?” (3, 3, 116,) then when Romeo is at his lowest, Friar Lawrence cheers him up, suggesting a comforting visit to his Juliet and then his escape. “Go, get thee to thy love, as was decreed.
For instance, he speaks his mind after finding out that Juliet does not want to marry Paris. He screams, “Mistress minion, you, thank me no thankings, nor proud me no prouds, to go with Paris to Saint Peter’s Church, Or I will drag thee on a hurdle thither. Out, you green-sickness carrion! Out, you baggage! 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.
Shakespeare subverts gender roles like this throughout the play, such as when Lady Macbeth decides her husband is unable to commit the atrocities to sit on the throne and taunts him, insinuating things about his manhood and claiming he has "th' milk of human kindness" (Act 1, 5.15) implying that he isn't strong enough to kill King Duncan. There is also a moment during a soliloquy where she wishes she could unsex herself so she could do the job without an inkling of guilt. (Act 1.5.38-41). This goading, as Lady Macbeth is aware, became a powerful tool in emasculinating her husband and forcing his hand to prove that he is in fact up to the task. This is the first time we see where the power lies, and this dynamic proves that it resides with Lady Macbeth; she's the one that's controlling things, despite the times.
