Mercutio curses both the families “A plague in both your houses”.…

Like a lot of other mother daughter relationships, Lady Capulet and her daughter clearly have a troubled one. The relationship between Lady Capulet and Juliet are strained and distant. Lady Capulet does try and make an effort to reach out to her daughter now that she is old enough to get married, but it's obvious that Juliet's closest bond is with the Nurse because she is the one that Juliet tells everything to.

Art, to each person represents something different. For some, art expresses their innermost desires and their ideals and some see their own reflection in art.

The reality of characters like Dorian and Basil are no more than a manifestation of their own values, and correspondingly, art reflects that.…
