Marriage In Romeo And Juliet

To begin with, the grudge between the two families, Montague and Capulet, resulted in the children making their love discrete. It was clear that because of the feud, both families would not approve of the act. Juliet's father claims he will disown her if she doesn't marry the designated person who he deemed right to become her husband. He gave off the impression that he will disapprove of anyone else. The family riot has caused Romeo and Juliet's love to continue in secrecy which lead to foolish deeds and unfortunate death.

“Talk not to me, for I 'll not speak a word, Do as tho wilt, for I have dine with thee.” This is a very uncannying way to act for a responsible parent, but a perfect description of a mother not being and giving her support to her daughter and being an irresponsible parent. Juliet 's father is not any better and threatens his own daughter for not appreciating what he had done for her even without hearing her reason for not being “proud” but “thankful” (Doc C, scene5). He says to her “Or I will drag thee on a hurdle thither. Out, you green sickness, carrion!

In act 3 scene 5 Lord Capulet tells Juliet that she has to marry Paris or else she will be disowned and he is not very nice about it either; while he is telling Juliet what will happen if she doesn’t Marry Paris he says, “hang, beg, starve, die in the streets, For, by my soul, I'll ne'er acknowledge thee”. This hurts Juliet very much. Lord Capulet was forcing Juliet to marry Paris so soon she didn’t even have time to think of anything else she could do. This is putting Juliet in a stressful situation because she is already married to Romeo, but now her father will disown her if she doesn't marry Paris.

“I’ll look to like, if looking liking move” (21). The conversation was about the arranged marriage in which Juliet don’t even know whom she is going to marry. Shakespeare demonstrates Juliet’s innocence through dialogue, metaphor and imagery. Juliet’s innocence is proven through the use of dialogue that showcasing her immaturity and obedience.

Why did Romeo and Juliet’s marriage went so wrong at the end? Maybe it's that they were not meant for each other. Maybe it's that they're family hated each other. Maybe it's because they both committed suicide. Whatever reason it was we can both agree they both weren't thinking when they were by each other and never thought about what would happen if they marry or the fact that they are total strangers.

Lord Capulet’s own free will forced Romeo and Juliet to pursue actions, such as marriage, that inevitably resulted in their deaths, which is demonstrated through Shakespeare’s use of foreshadowing. In Verona, there are expectations for young girls that they marry a fine man and labor babies, especially in high-class families such as Montague and Capulet. In the Capulet family, Lord Capulet has prepared a bridegroom, Paris, for his fourteen year old daughter, Juliet. Although, Juliet refuses to marry Paris because she is secretly already married to Romeo, but her father does not know that. As a result of Juliet expressing that she does not want to marry Paris, Lord Capulet angrily replies to her disobedience, “But fettle your fine joints’ gainst

However, the marriage would have made her unhappy, and she knew this. Instead of consoling his daughter, Lord and Lady Capulet yell at Juliet and threaten to disown her if she doesn't obey. (Quote here). Similar to this instance, when Lady Capulet first tells Juliet she is to marry Paris, Juliet doesn’t feel comfortable with that idea. Lady Capulet tells Juliet she will marry Paris at the capulet party and tries to get the nurse to convince her to agree (Quote).

While knowing this, though, Laurence still weds them and agrees to their marriage. This affirms the idea that he is continuing lies around the town, not allowing the Capulet or Montague families to know that their children are married. This is shown with (IV.iii) when Capulet is happy that Juliet has agreed to marry Paris. The reader knows at this time that Juliet is married to Romeo, but Lord Capulet does not, showing that nobody has told him that Juliet is already married. This further proves that the blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet should be placed on Friar

The most defiant choice that Romeo and Juliet take for their love is their choice to be married. Juliet knows that her father or anyone in her family would not approve of this choice, but she still does it cause she loves Romeo. This love struck mentality drives Romeo and Juliet to be married and this secret marriage causes turmoil when Lord Capulet demands Juliet to marry Paris. Although Juliet knows that she is already married to Romeo loyal to him, not Paris and refuses to marry “doth Paris” (Shakespeare. III.v.145).

V. 180-183). He was also too over protective of her and didn't ask what she wanted for anything, because in those times that was the custom. If Capulet did not try and force the marriage, then Juliet would not of taken the potion and that means Romeo would not of died. And if Romeo didn't die neither would Juliet.

In the book Romeo and Juliet, we have learned that the opinions of marriage, are different among most people. Many parents have different opinions as well.

In Romeo and Juliet act 2 they about to secretly marry(after less than a week of knowing each other, that annoys me to absolutely no end) its for shadowed that things are gonna go south. The fact that they'ed try to marry after less than a week of knowing each other is already a horrible idea. Not counting they didn't try to build up support in their clans for they're marriage, the marriage itself is a bad idea. I can tell you how bad of a story Romeo and Juliet would be if it was made during modern times. It wouldn't even be a month before it was trashed.
