In this passage, Juliet goes through a variety of emotions – betrayal, conflict, resolution and guilt. At the beginning of the passage, Juliet feels betrayed by Romeo. This is expressed as she curses him, “O serpent heart, hid with a flow’ring face!”, a “wolvish ravening lamb” and “just opposite to what thou justly seem’st”. All these phrases show how she felt deceived that Romeo, despite his beautiful appearance, turned out to be a murderer of her cousin. This is right after she hears from the Nurse that Romeo was the one who killed Tybalt.
The Capulets And Montagues: The Ones To Truly Blame Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy where the four teenagers die because of a feud going on between two noble families. Their death is a mix everyone’s fault, but it is mainly the Capulets and Montagues fault. Although the two families thought they were doing good for their children, they were hateful towards each other, too stubborn to try to resolve the feud, and Lord and Lady Capulet were very hard on Juliet when she refused to marry Paris. The Capulets and Montagues thought the feud wouldn’t do any harm, but the hate towards each other caused the four teenagers to die. For instance, Shakespeare says: Two households, both alike in dignity, In fair Verona, where we lay or scene, From
To begin with, they had forced her to marry Paris whom she did not love or want to marry. It is shown when Lady Capulet says “what say you? Can you love the gentleman? This night you shall behold him at your feast.” (1.3.79-80).The fact that her parents were forcing her to do something she did not want to do made Juliet the very secretive girl she was. Also, the Capulet family was in a fight with the Montague family.
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.
Mercutio and Tybalt’s relationship is one of hate based on the feud between their families. Because the feud between the Montague and Capulet family has been going on for such a long time, the reason that it all started has been lost. After the first fight scene between the Montagues and Capulets, the Prince addresses the two families: “What, ho! you men, you beasts… Three civil brawls, bred of an airy word By thee, old Capulet, and Montague, Have thrice disturbed the quiet of our streets”. (Shakespeare 31) “When the Prince calls the Capulets and Montagues a bunch of "beasts," he implies that their hatred doesn't seem to have any rational cause – it is simply the result of passions they refuse to restrain.”
Friar tells Juliet “Thy husband in the bosom there lies dead” (V.iii.155). He tells her that Romeo has died because he thought she was actually dead and couldn’t stand to be without her. Friar stated, “Miscarried by my fault, let my old life be sacrificed some hour before his time unto the rigor of severest law” (V.iii.267-269). He is explaining to The Capulet’s, Montague’s, and the Prince that he is to blame for the death of Romeo and Juliet. Friar Lawrence should of told the two star crossed lovers to tell their parents that they were in love with their
After completing this it will be evident that Romeo, Friar Lawrence and love are all to blame. Firstly, Romeo is banished from Verona for killing Tybalt, a Capulet, because Tybalt killed Romeo’s best friend Mercutio. This led to Romeo not hearing about the plan to fake Juliet’s death so that she did not have to marry Paris. When Romeo heard she was dead he killed himself, then Juliet awoke and found Romeo dead and killed herself. “Tybalt is gone, and Romeo banished; Romeo that killed him, he is banished.” This quote is saying that Romeo killed Tybalt and is now banished because of it.
You would think her own father would be understanding of her wishes, but he commanded her to marry Paris or else he would disown her. Furious and devastated, Juliet took a potion that made her appear dead; this was the only way she could be with Romeo. With Romeo being exiled, he heard news of his wife's death and bought poison to kill
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
Romeo has a bad feeling about his life within the first act as he says “With this night revels, and expire the term/Of a despised life clos'd in my breast,/By some vile forfeit of untimely death." (1.4.109-111). This line is spoken by Romeo to Benvolio before they attend the party hosted by the Capulets, where he is to meet Juliet. As Juliet is what the night is about to reveal, the audience is able to understand that the reason of Romeo’s death is Juliet. Furthermore, when Romeo is expressing his love for Juliet he states “My life were better ended by their hate,/ Than Death prorogued, wanting of thy love."
