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.
