Quotes


“My only love sprung from my only hate.”
― William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet
The character was a very emotive person , and he liked love , this quote was said by Romeo.

“Alas, that love, so gentle in his view,
Should be so tyrannous and rough in proof!
It’s sad. Love looks like a nice thing, but it’s actually very rough when you experience it.” 
― William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet
Juliet was really in love but she had suffered because of that, so she thought love is a bad things.


Juliet's description


At the beginning of the story we saw that Juliet is very obedient because she accepted everything that her parents said but then she revealed and broke all the rules for love.  She is anxious, passionate and determined.

Romeo's description


He is a romantic man, also he is very pacific man because he treated stop the fight between Teodobaldo and Mercutio. In the course of the story we saw that is a man who does anything for love.

Paris’ proposal


Lady Capulet questions Juliet regarding her feelings about marriage and then informs Juliet of Paris' proposal. When her mother mentions that Paris will attend the feast that evening, Juliet reacts with dutiful reserve, whereas her nurse, recalling incidents from Juliet's childhood, volunteers a bawdier response. Juliet's response to her mother's wish for her to agree to the marriage is clever and evasive.

The Friar’s dream of peace


Friar Laurence is presented as a holy man who is trusted and respected by the other characters. The Friar's role as the friend and advisor to Romeo and Juliet highlights the conflict between parents and their children within the play. The centrality of the Friar's role suggests a notable failure of parental love. Romeo and Juliet can't tell their parents of their love because of the quarrel between the two families.

 In their isolation, Romeo and Juliet turn to the Friar who can offer neutral advice. At first, the Friar can't believe how quickly Romeo has abandoned Rosaline and fallen in love with Juliet, so he reminds Romeo of the suddenness of his decisions. The Friar uses the formal language of rhyme and proverbs to stress the need for caution to Romeo. However, he agrees to marry Romeo and Juliet in the hope that their marriage will heal the rift between the Montagues and the Capulets. His decision to marry the lovers is well-meaning but indicates that he has been naive in his assessment of the feud and hasn't reflected on the implications of Romeo and Juliet's clandestine marriage.

The conflict between youth and old age also manifests itself in the Friar's relationship with Romeo and Juliet. When Friar Laurence tries to soothe Romeo's grief at the news of his banishment with rational argument, Romeo quickly responds that if the Friar were young and in love, he wouldn't accept such advice any better.

The Friar's knowledge of plants — especially their dual qualities to heal and hurt — play an important role in the action that follows. His attempts to heal the feud by reversing nature — causing Juliet's "death" in order to bring about acceptance of her life with Romeo is notably unnatural. The Friar must extricate Juliet from the tomb in order to save her life — another reversal of nature. This use of nature for unnatural purposes precipitates many of the consequences leading to the tragic conclusion of the play. Ultimately, the Friar acts distinctly human — he flees the tomb and abandons Juliet.
