Juliet shows she knows Romeo is a Montague but carries on with their relationship, just after her and Romeo kissed at the Capulet’s party. Shortly after the kiss, the Nurse finds out that the mysterious man Juliet was asking about is Romeo Montague. Juliet is devastated when told this and responds with, “My only love sprung from my only hate!/… That I must love a loathed enemy” (Shakespeare. I. v. 138, 141).
II. Comparison and Contrast: These two literary pieces are one of the saddest love stories in literature. In most romances, their love bloomed slowly and their love was truly above all and became the purpose of their lives, loving each other till their last breath. These two literary pieces are one of the best stories that I’d ever read, and it was so wonderful and breathtaking, reading this gave me a thrill of suspense, while thinking how to compare and contrast between the two literary pieces, the common is that both are all about love and tragedy. Romeo and Juliet is forbidden to fall in love because of their family having an ongoing feud, and had a love at first sight, they are expressing their love secretly and privately for their family
Romeo agrees to go and sees Juliet, Lord Capulet’s daughter and falls in love instantly with “her true beauty” (Shakespeare. I.v.51) and pulls her into the other room where they kiss. This meeting results in a prolonged love affair which springs a whole event of scandal including Juliet’s push back to marry Paris, but ultimately it results in Romeo and Juliet’s
Teenage love is seen to be a necessity to the teenagers growing and maturing. Too many teens believe that they have to be in a relationship, but relationships at that age turn into terrible situations. Relationships at the teen age is also thought as necessary to show the teens how to grow and mature, but Romeo and Juliet’s love story for the play “Romeo and Juliet” by William Shakespeare, proves that teenage relationships are harmful for mental and physical health for the fact that they gave up their lives over a relationship. In Romeo and Juliet, they fall in love too fast and make irrational decisions, which seems to be the major problem in all teen relationships. Many teens make too many irrational decisions when it comes to “love”.
(I, v, l.140-141). She decides her love is more importnat than her family and muses to Romeo, “Deny thy father and refuse thy name. Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, And I’ll no longer be a Capulet.” ( II, ii, l. 34-36) She still pursues and has intentions to continue her relationship as she says "this bud of love, by summer’s ripening breath, may prove a beauteous flower when next we meet."
I think that Romeo and Juilet have gone through their ups and downs throughout this play but at the end of the day I think that they have a healthy relationship. An example from the play is that when Romeo saw her for the first time he thought she was the most beautiful thing he has ever seen. And really does fall in love with her at first sight. After he sees her for the first time he says “O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright! It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night as a rich jewel in an Ethiop's ear beauty too rich for use, for earth to dear” (1.5. 43-46).This shows that this is going to be the start to a healthy relationship because before he ever even talks to her Romeo is talking very highly of her and is saying he is falling
Healthy relationships consist of many different aspects such as open communication, honesty, trust, commitment, and mutual respect. In order for relationships to thrive, each partner must express these characteristics. Although to some it may seem like the bare minimum to treat your partner with these aspects, not every relationship consists of these qualities. In Jennifer Niven’s All the Bright Places, Finch and Violet do not always express these traits. Due to the fact that both characters have their own struggles, they are not able to experience a truly healthy relationship.
The first connection in Act 1 of Romeo and Juliet involves Romeo in a discussion with Benvolio. Earlier that day, Romeo was out in the woods crying over his unrequited love for Rosaline. As stated with this quote, “Out of her favour, where I am in love” (1.1.173). Here, Romeo states that he is out of the favor of Rosaline, meaning Rosaline does not want Romeo. At the same time, Romeo is in love with Rosaline, thus creating his unrequited love.
Romeo and lies, Love and Juliet A candle that shines brighter, will burn faster. A love so passionate has more to risk. And with a rejection, a rebound follows. Love, love is the root of all. It can build families, and homes, but can tear them down in an instant.
Romeo and Juliet: Fate and Love Julian Fellowes and Carlo Carlei's film adaptation of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet (2013) depicts the tragic nature of "star-cross'd lovers" (Prologue.6). This is evident through the contrasting scenes of tragedy and romance interspersed throughout the trailer. For instance, Romeo and Juliet's first meeting at the Capulet's masquerade (0.19-0.25) evokes sentiments of doom from the beginning of their love as this is continuously juxtaposed with the play's grim ending (0.04-0.14) and the family feud between the Capulets and Montagues (0.25-0.35). This looming sense of an inescapable fate for the lovers is further reinforced by the scene when Romeo finds Juliet on her deathbed, seemingly dead (1.56). It is a
Romeo is talking about his relationship to Tybalt by marriage. Because of his marriage to Juliet, he and Tybalt are now related. He says that he loves Tybalt more than Tybalt could ever know and that Tybalt will not understand the reason for his love. This makes Mercutio frustrated because Tybalt has just insulted Romeo and now Romeo is saying that he loves Tybalt. Now Mercutio thinks that Romeo is submitting to these insults and believes him to be a disgrace for not standing up for himself and his family.
Are Romeo and Juliet truly affectionate towards each other? How would know? Romeo and Juliet is about two “star crossed lovers” that are unable to meet under the circumstances of their parents. Juliet 's family, the Capulets have a strong hate towards Romeo 's family, the Montagues. Juliet is so in love with Romeo that when he finds her mistakenly dead he takes a deadly potion that kills him almost instantly.
In Act III of Romeo and Juliet, Juliet learns that her cousin Tybalt had been killed and Romeo, Tybalt’s killer and Juliet’s husband, has been banished. As a result, Juliet mourns for the loss of her husband and cousin, and uncontrollably cries for the next few days. This leads to Lord Capulet to go against his word and arrange a marriage for Juliet to Paris in an effort to cheer her up. In scene iv of Act III, Lord Capulet says, “ Sir Paris, I will make a desperate tender/ Of my child’s love.” In other words, Lord Capulet says that he is making a bold offer to Paris by arranging the marriage.
104-107). These little moments are what make the romance between Romeo and Juliet begin to blossom as well. There is also that very famous balcony scene located in the second act of the book, where Romeo and Juliet both find themselves making their vows towards each other, Juliet herself promising to no longer be a Capulet, and placing her full faith into Romeo.
In William Shakespeare’s novel, Romeo and Juliet, a seemingly endless feud between the two houses, the Capulets and Montagues, disrupts the city of Verona with their immaturity and unexplained controversy, causing devastating results for Romeo and Juliet’s blooming romance. The events that were caused by revenge and hatred lead the two star-crossed lovers to perform a secret marriage, forcing them to haste their adulthood and allow their fate to decide their ultimate end; dying in despair. In literature, people are often at fault for the outcome of the play. The Capulets’ and Montagues’ feud was not the only reason leading to the catastrophic ending as Shakespeare creates twists in his plays, connecting the characters and events to the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet’s death.
