PARENTS
Tribute to parents
There are people, who are special in our life.

Those special people are my parents,
Also sometimes known as spy agents.

Love of parents is unbound,
And it always stays around.

Sacrifices made by them can’t be measured,
And the memories have to be treasured.

They are full of charm,
And never mean harm.

They have a tender and caring heart
I don’t know where to start.

They might scold us,
And we would create a fuss.

But we still share the same love,
Gentle and soft like a dove.

When I cry, they see my tear,
And is difficult for them to bear.

When I’m sad and depressed
They feel tensed and stressed

They always take my worries,
And ship them away in ferries.

It cannot be expressed in words,
Or written down on cards,

That, my parents are angels from heaven. At the beginning of the play, when Lord Capulet (Juliet's father) first asked Juliet to marry Count Paris, Juliet was obedient and took her father's words and advice seriously; she believed her parents wanted the best for her. They had a little distant but overall loving relationship; the father gave the orders, and Juliet followed them as best as she could, although the father's advice never hurt or harmed Juliet directly. For example, when the father asked Juliet to marry Paris, he thought Paris would be suitable for his daughter as he had status and money. Therefore, he could care for his daughter.
However, when Juliet fell in love with Romeo, she learned to defy her father. This broke the thin relationship between them, and Lord Capulet forced Juliet to marry Paris. This made the love in the relationship practically disappear with both the father and daughter mad at each other with the own reasons. Juliet loved Romeo, but Lord Capulet wanted best for his daughter and didn't want her to love an enemy of the family.
When Juliet and Romeo died in the end as a result of the feud between the 2 families, Lord Capulet regretted his actions, and it

    The feud between the Montagues and the Capulets also played a large part in their deaths. Romeo and Juliet could not see each other with their parent’s consent so they had to do it in secret. “If they do see thee they will murder thee.” Juliet says this to Romeo on her balcony just after the party. The feud between the two families meant they couldn’t even talk to each other. All of the fighting between the two families did not set a good example for Romeo and Juliet. In the end they would rather die and be together than stay and be apart due to their parents’ anger.…

    The historical hatred between the Capulets and the Montagues immediately compromised the relationship between Romeo and Juliet. They both knew that their parents would forbid their love for each other. Romeo and Juliet recognized that their partnership would never be blessed, yet this parental control could not stop the loving bond between these two young adults. (Act II Scene I) A second example is the arrangement of marriage between Juliet and Paris.Juliet protested that she did not love Paris and would never marry him. Juliet threatens her parents that if they force her to marry Paris, she will end her life for her heart belongs to Romeo. (Act III Scene V) Similar to the parents in this play, today's parents try to control the lives of their children, but children need to find their own path through life. Parents could possibly create permanent and catastrophic consequences similar to the needless deaths of Romeo and…

    In the beginning Juliet clearly stated that she did not love Paris, the one that her family desired for her to marry. However, she kept her marriage to Romeo, the one she truly loved, to herself. “My only love sprung from my only hate!”(Shakespeare, 396). The Montagues and the Capulets have been feuding with one another for many years. Juliet reserves her secret and lies to her parents. “O Romeo, Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art…

    Capulet, dishearten about the recent death of Tybalt, reschedules and plans the wedding of the County Paris in order to bring happiness rather than woe for Juliet, “O' Thursday let it be.—O' Thursday, tell her…” (Shakespeare 3.4.22-25). Capulet not only created rash decisions for his own benefit (social status, security, and economic state) and forces marriage on to Juliet, but has complicated Romeo and Juliet’s plan to be together. Juliet revokes this arranged marriage and is overwhelmed by the advancement that her parents have created. Capulet, being the head of household has patriarchal power making it harder for Juliet’s opinion to be valid. He uses force and power showing that he is selfish and prone to rage, “Hang thee, young baggage! Disobedient wretch!... An you be mine, I’ll give you to my friend.” (Shakespeare 3.5.160-167,177-196). Juliet begs to cancel the marriage but he being a misogynist, revokes her opinion, and in hope to know what is best for her. He continues to use verbal abuse to prove his point and treats her as a piece of property instead of a human being. The lack of proper communication and contentment presented proves how challenging it is for Juliet to reveal to her parents that she is loyal and married to Romeo and that her opinion is valid, gives her further reason to be disobedient. Her parents fail to acknowledge that this is a new step in her life due to being with a different guardian, and the overwhelming amount of misinterpreted emotions that she is experiencing, such as her parents believing that she is only crying for the death Tybalt, but for the exile of Romeo…

    Lord Capulet could have put forth more effort to stop the danger of their feud. He, just like Lord Montague did nothing to stop their dangerous feud. Capulet did not attempt to better the relationship between Tybalt and Romeo, and he forced Juliet to marry Paris when she was in love with Romeo. Capulet said that the hate between Montagues and Capulets caused the two lovers to take their lives. After their deaths he said, "As rich shall Romeo's by his lady's lie, poor sacrifices of our enmity."…

    When it comes to being a supportive parent of Juliet's decision in marriage that can be questionable. For example Lord Capulet is explaining to his servants of how he realizes he is not young anymore, “ Welcome, gentlemen, I have seen the day that I have worn a visor and could tell a whispering tale in a fair lady's ear, such as would please. “Tis gone...”, Lord Capulet is basically explaining how he realizes that he is not within his youth age anymore, he can’t just go around making love to a fair maiden. Back then the point of life was to multiply, it made sense the average age to live too was in your 20’s or 30’s. The only problem is it can be hard to multiply especially when you are yelling at your daughter that you don’t care about them and they can go die in the streets. This is exactly what Lord Capulet did to Juliet when she expressed her true feelings toward the marriage to paris. Lord Capulet Indignantly yells at Juliet, “ An you be mine, i’ll give you to my friend; and you be not, hang,beg,starve,die in the streets, for, by my soul i’ll ne’er acknowledge thee, Nor what is mine shall never do thee good: trust To’t, bethink you; i’ll not be forsworn.”, Lord Capulet never fails to show anger at the highest level. Juliet on the other hand is not trying to be rude by refusing to marry Paris, she doesn’t like him, and she’s already married, the only problem is…

    Juliet’s refusal to marry Paris affects her father in a variety of ways. On his first encounter with her Capulet asks why she is "evermore weeping", showing compassion for his daughter. Yet when he hears of her refusal he becomes angry and insulting; "disobedient wretch" suggests he not only feels betrayed by his daughter but his compassion and love for his daughter was merely superficial, and has evaporated along with the marriage proposal. Howsoever, Juliet still shows respect and submissiveness…
