Romeo And Juliet Deception Quotes

Juliet is a hopeless romantic who will do anything for her lover Romeo; she would even go as far as deceiving her family and friends. In William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, we see that Juliet is someone who would go above and beyond for her lover who she barely meets but that doesn't stop the emphasized lust for Romeo. Throughout the play, we see that Juliet gives up everything in order to be with him even if that means she has to deceive her family in the process of trying to be with him. She chooses individual choice vs. tradition because she values her lover over her tradition which is to stay far away from the Montagues. Though love is a fundamental component of relationships, deception can be detrimental to one's existence. Shakespeare

Take for instance when Juliet goes to Friar Lawrence for a solution so she doesn't have to marry County Paris and while with Friar Lawrence she receives a sleeping potion and a plan and now she goes back to her father Lord Capulet to inform him that “ I have learned me to repent the sin of disobedient opposition to you and your behest, and am enjoined by holy Lawrence to fall prostrate here to beg your pardon.

Consequently, sinec Romeo was unawer of her plans it is why he killed himself because he believe that she had actually died she single handily not only deceive her entire family and friends but her husband and lover Romeo all because of her individual actions in not wanting to marry County Paris. Furthermore, not only Juliet fool her family for the sake of love but now has also deceived Romeo due to the fact that she hoped that Romeo would come and wake her
