Rylan Howe Freshman English #1 March 20, 2024. Romeo and Juliet Essay Outside forces can alter one's relationship. In William Sheakspere’s Romeo and Juliet there are two rival families, Capulid which Juliet is a part of and Montegue which Romeo is a part of. But among this rival family lies two lovebirds, Romeo and Juliet. Romeo was exiled, got into a fight twice, and killed himself while being with Juliet when she wasn’t actually dead. Juliet was forced to marry Count Paris, had to fake her own death by using a potion that put her to sleep, and killing herself to be with Romeo after he died. Among these events, they were all caused by fate, family and free will. One factor that contributed to Romeo and Juliet’s death was Fate. Additionally, earlier in the prologue on page 2 line 5, the author describes Romeo and Juliets relationship to be like, “From forth the fatal loins of these two foes, a pair of star-crossed lovers take their life.” This quote explains that among this family rivalry, there lies a relationship between them which is Romeo and Juliets, and was …show more content…
In addition to the fate leading to their death, family was another big issue. As Romeo is attending the Capulets party, Tybalt notices that a montague is attending. This irritates Tybalt as explained in Act 1 scene 5 when he says, “Uncle this is a Montague, our foe: A villain that is higher come in spite To scorn at our solemnity to night.” Tybalt is basically saying that the Montague family is a bunch of villains and that Romeo is only there to cause trouble and taunt everyone. We can connect family to be a primary reason why this couple both passed away because their family had a strong hatred towards each other and it got to a point where Romeo and Juliet considered running away because their family wouldn’t approve of this relationship. Like the rest of the Capulet family, Tybalt’s death turned everyone against
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. Although fate and character traits play a key role in the play, ultimately Rome and Juliet’s personal choices lead to their downfall.Fate originates all of the conflicts in Romeo and Juliet, from when they met until they die.
Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare explores the lives of ‘a pair of star crossed lovers’ from feuding families in the city of Verona. Their love and passion for one another is so great, that even an act of revenge doesn’t prevent them from being with each other. Act 3 Scene 2 is set in Capulets house and entails a conversation between Juliet and her Nurse regarding her cousin, Tybalt’s death and her lover, Romeo’s banishment. Juliet expresses her grief for Tybalt’s death and her abhorrence at Romeo’s deed. Although the Nurse blames Romeo for the death of Tybalt, Juliet’s loyalty and love towards her husband, enables her to overcome the shock.
“Wilt thou provoke me? Then, have at thee boy!” says Romeo, the murderer of Paris. In the play The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, a young man named Romeo falls in love with Juliet, a maiden from the opposing family. Romeo latches on to the thought of being with Juliet, and crosses great boundaries. Romeo’s gestures can be interpreted as romantic, loyal, and passionate. However, I believe he is mentally unstable and extreme in his decisions. Romeo does not consider the future of others, as well as himself.
A tragedy is : a dramatic composition, often in verse, dealing with a serious or somber theme, typically involving a great person destined to experience downfall or utter destruction, as through a character flaw or conflict with some overpowering force, as fate or an unyielding society. Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy in which the great person or character caught up in downfall and utter destruction is Romeo. Romeo’s utter destruction as a tragic figure is the suffering around him. All of this suffering and tragedy in Romeo and Juliet can be traced back to Romeo or the grudge between the Montagues and the Capulets. Romeo is the most tragic figure in the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, so he is the leading cause to all suffering to other characters.
Romeo and Juliet is set in an Italian city named Verona. Romeo is the son of of Montague, a powerful family patriarch, and Juliet is the daughter of Capulet, another powerful patriarch. There’s one problem with this. Capulet and Montague hate each other. There’s another problem. The story was set in a time where men were thought of as superior to women. It was not unusual for a father to marry his daughter to another man just for the political status. This makes it impossible for Romeo to marry Juliet peacefully. In today’s world, Capulet’s actions would not be regarded as good parenting, so that is why, in our eyes, Capulet seems like a bad father, but there is more to his bad side. He tried to marry Juliet off to a kinsman of the prince just for the political status, but his bad parenting also harmed Juliet in another way. He let his anger get the best of him in most cases, and by doing this, it made Juliet keep secret from him. So, by being stubborn, self-absorbed, and hot-tempered, he influenced Romeo and Juliet to kill themselves.
So it is likely that Shakespeare meant for fate to be the cause of Romeo and Juliet's death. I think that the family feud is the main cause for the death of Romeo and Juliet. If the families were not so hateful towards each other Romeo and Juliet would not have kept there love for each other a secret, and they would have no need for committing suicide. This also backs up the point that fate could be to blame for their deaths.
At the end of, “The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet,” the star crossed lovers kill themselves, for as the say throughout the acts, they both would rather die than be apart from each other. But have we really stopped and pointed the finger at the ones who are really responsible for the deaths of this famous couple? Of course, Romeo did willingly drink the poison and Juliet also stabbed herself, but who else could have influenced these irrational actions? Could it be the nurse and the friar for giving the two bad advice? Or would it be the families, for being filled with so much hate that they couldn’t see the love between Romeo and Juliet? Could the end result of these actions ultimately be the effect that the the star crossed lovers have caused
Have you ever been so in love that you would give up your life to be with another person? That is greatly the case in William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. Many question how true Romeo's love for Juliet was because of his infatuation with Rosaline. However, Romeo proved multiple times that he was truly in love with Juliet, and risked his life many times to be with her. Romeo's love for Juliet superseded any other relationships, especially his infatuation with Rosaline.
Romeo and Juliet: Five days to fall in love! Romeo and Juliet, love till death do us part. Romeo and Juliet, two people, from very distinctive families, fell in love. They had help from two people very dear to their hearts, but did the two people dearest to them, make the right decision? Friar Lawrence and The Nurse failed as God Teacher because they allowed Romeo and Juliet to get married, and in the process, helped them to go behind the backs of their parents to do so.
Have you ever wondered who, or what, caused Romeo and Juliet to commit suicide? I will answer this question after a brief introduction of the book, Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare.
The leading force, in my opinion, that led to Romeo and Juliet's death is the conflict between the two fathers, Capulet and Montague. It's because of this conflict that Romeo and Juliet feel they must hide their love, which, in the end, is the cause of their deaths. Because of this conflict, confrontations occurred and insults were thrown. Hatred is bred which is evident when Tybalt, who is Lady Capulet's nephew, joins the fight against the Montague family. Tybalt hates Romeo and doesn't hesitate to let it be known.

Believe it or not, Jane Got a Gun had a pretty solid hype train a few years back. After all, it landed an Academy Award winning actress in Natalie Portman, not to mention Michael Fassbender and Joel Edgerton. Of course, that was back in 2012 when casting originally took place. And, as you might have noticed – the cast looks a tiny bit different now.
