Romeo and Juliet is a story of two kids who fall in love. Not only did these young teens help each other grow and mature, so did many other factors in their lives including specific events and people. Juliet matured throughout her battles for love with Romeo and having to fight off Paris in order to be with him. Romeo had to slay Tybalt in order to avenge his friend and to keep his engagement with the young Juliet a secret. The two were influenced throughout the play, changing from impulsive children to to resolute adults. Juliet progressively matured due to many different events that had occurred throughout the play. In the beginning, Juliet was the young thirteen year-old daughter of the Capulet family. She was arrogant and took what she had for granted. The first time you really see Juliet mature is when she falls in love with Romeo, even though he is a Montague. She says, “Den thy father and refuse thy name! Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, and I’ll no longer be a Capulet” (2.2:34-36). This shows her initial struggle with the thought but she moves on when she tells herself a name is just a meaningless thing, “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet” (2.2:43-44). …show more content…
Romeo is the 17 year-old son of Lord and Lady Montague. He was engaged to Juliet when Tybalt challenges him in a duel, but Romeo refuses. This is one of the instances where he matures because it made him look like a coward but he was okay with that because he didn't wish to lose Juliet in the process. He says,“Tybalt, the reason that I have to love thee doth much excuse the appertaining rage to such a greeting” (3.1:57-59). This means that he forgives Tybalt's anger because he has reason to love him. The reason was Tybalt is a member of Juliet's family. This shows, that like Juliet, he was able to put aside the name of his enemy in order to be with
Romeo and Juliet, written by William Shakespeare, is a story of two young lovers. These two hearts, Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet, belong to feuding families. The family feud causes them to keep their love a secret and therefore only Romeo, Juliet, Benvolio, the Nurse and Friar Lawrence know of their love. Romeo and Juliet are able to look past the feud and let themselves fall in mad love with the other. They let themselves do almost anything for the other and at times it seems like too much to do, even for the one they love.
Juliet displays a higher level of maturity when she recognizes that Romeo, while proclaiming his interminable love, has not thought of the meaning behind his words and brings the conversation to a halt. Shakespeare shows how Juliet, although fond of Romeo, experiences
4. Juliet’s attitude changes because she knows that Romeo heard her expressing her love for him and she gets worried that things are moving too fast for her.
The hot-blooded and furious Tybalt had a grudge against Romeo, which inevitably led to a series of misfortunes, and in the end, the two protagonists died. He had held that grudge, since the day he confronted Romeo at the Capulet’s party, where Tybalt was dishonoured in front of a whole debauchery.
When asked by Benvolio to make peace in the streets, Tybalt bluntly responds,” talk of peace, I hate the word. As I hate hell all Montagues.” This is the attitude of Tybalt throughout the play. He believes he is doing all for the best and uses violence as his tool. He gets angry at the ball with Romeo being there, “villain as a guest,” and believes it best to defend his family’s honor by later taking revenge. When Tybalt finds Romeo, he thinks it best to fight him and when he ends up killing Mercutio he believes he has done his duty by causing Romeo the same hurt he has brought Tybalt, “the injuries that thou hast done me.”
Romeo and Juliet is a tragic story about a pair of star-crossed lovers whose demises were unexpected to most. However, their deaths were a result of their impulsiveness. It caused their problematic marriage, Romeo’s preventable death, as well as Juliet’s preventable death.
As already shown, both Romeo and Juliet are horrified to discover that they were family enemies. Despite of this, they both choose to devote their love for eachother. Given this point, it is unrequited love that brings Romeo and Juliet together. But this also means that they would have to get over the fact that their families hate each other. This eventually leads them to forgiving the rival family for all the hateful acts that have occurred against one another. This is not the only forgiveness that is experienced in this play. Tybalt is a Montague with a fiery attitude. After catching Romeo at a party he was not supposed to be at, Tybalt had it out for Romeo. Just after Romeo and Juliet’s wedding, Tybalt comes looking for him wanting to fight. Romeo does not want to fight because he now loves Tybalt since he is family to him, but neither Tybalt or anyone else knows this reason. Quickly Mercutio steps in and tells Tybalt that he will fight him in honour of Romeo. Sadly this leads to the death of Mercutio. Romeo is angry and in need of revenge, which creates an intense fight between Tybalt and Romeo. Romeo wins this battle, killing Tybalt. He leaves in a hurry, only to discover that he would be banished from Verona. The death of Tybalt is absolutely devastating to Juliet. Her cousin was murdered by her husband. But she did not hesitate to forgive Romeo, she did so right away. She knew that Romeo had a reason for this incident and decides to
Although the lovers are both fairly impudent throughout the play, Romeo, the male lead, is even more so. Through out the play of Romeo and Juliet, the Montague heir has ceased maturity over the course of the Shakespearean tragedy. First of all, it was “Rosaline” (II.iii.67). whom Romeo “didst love so dear” (II.iii.67). at the beginning of the play as he “groaned . . . woes for Rosaline” (II.ii.74-78) however, he easily fell out of lover with her and in love with the “fair daughter of the rich Capulet” (II.iii.58) like he was changing his mind on a meal he’d order. Also, he fell out of love with Rosaline because she did not “doth grace for grace and love for love allow.” (II.iii. 85-88) which basically meant that Romeo didn’t love Rosaline because she didn’t love him back, which is very childish in hindsight. Another way that Romeo is immature is that he doesn’t have a sense of reality fore, he’s always either extremely depressed, like when Rosaline wanted to remain chaised for life or extremely elated like when he met Juliet, while having no real middle ground for his emotions. These are all reasons why Romeo is immature: he’s always heads over heels in love for trivial reasons and he has no to little sense of reality.

Romeo and Juliet is a romantic love story about a young lad named Romeo who has fallen in love with Lady Juliet, but is unable to marry her because of a long-lasting family feud. The play ends in the death of both these characters and the reunion of the friendship between the families. Romeo is in love with Juliet, and this is a true, passionate love (unlike the love Paris has for her or the love Romeo had for Rosaline) that nothing can overcome, not even the hatred between their two families that is the reason for the death of their two children. Throughout the play, Shakespeare thoroughly explores the themes of both true love and false love and hatred. Without either of these themes, the play would loose its romantic touch and probably would not be as famous as it is today.
