Relationship Between Romeo And Juliet
Juliet is a caring person who is very curious and confused about the world around her. Juliet is very confused about the world around her and about the montages because when she falls in love with Romeo she doesn’t understand why he is a montague and why they are bad people, you can tell when she says “[o]r, if thou wilt not, be but sworn love, and I’ll no longer be a capulet” (2.2.48-49). Juliet does not understand why the Capulet and the Montague despise each other. She also does not want to be a capulet if it means that she is not allowed to be with Romeo. You can tell that Juliet is a caring person because when she says “I shall forget, to have thee still stand there, rememb’ring how i love thy company” (2.2.186-187), Juliet is already

    Wisely and slow, they stumble that run fast” (Shakespeare 2.3.99). This quote by Friar Lawrence in William Shakespeare’s play, Romeo and Juliet, perfectly sums up two different types of relationships. One of which is represented by Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet, who run fast into their love even though their families have a seemingly unending feud. They attempt to keep their relationship secret, which causes complications and ultimately ends in their death that barriers their families feud. A similar, but slower, relationship, which is the second type, is formed as a friendship between Lennie and George, in Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, who are ranch hands that end up working on a farm in the Salinas Valley. They spend the majority of their lives together, George, small and smart, and Lennie, bigger but less intelligent, until trouble with a man on the ranch named Curley and his wife leads to George killing Lennie. When the two texts are compared, George and Lennie have a stronger relationship, because they always care for each other, they have trust, and their relationship is based off of friendship, while on the other hand Romeo and Juliet’s relationship is developed off of regretted actions, infatuation, and empty words.…

    Juliet’s perspective of love, marriage and relationships have changed throughout Romeo and Juliet. At the beginning of the play Juliet never thought about love or marriage and never considered love or marriage, for when her parents told her that they want her to marry Paris she asked how can I love someone if I don’t even know him. “I have never dreamed about marriage.” When Juliet’s family had a party Romeo snuck in and when Juliet saw him, she told the nurse that he is cute and she thinks she fell in love with Romeo at first sight.

    Romeo and Juliet is a play of love and hatred. In the centre of it all is Juliet, barely fourteen and still reliant on her wet nurse, yet willing to take her own life then to live without the one she loves. In the short four days, in which the play takes place, Juliet faces more than most in a lifetime. She is forced into marriage, she secretly marries an enemy of her house, her new husband kills her cousin and is exiled only allowing her one night of wedded bliss. She has to pretend to kill herself only to find her husband dead beside her, after which she takes her own life. During this emotional rollercoaster Juliet changes from an innocent, naïve thirteen-year-old to a defiant and independent young heroine. I have chosen Act 1 Scene 3, Act 3 Scene 5 (lines 69-242), and her soliloquy in Act 4 Scene 4 to compare, as they show different stages of Juliet's change in character.…

    Some may argue that the greatest love story to date is Romeo and Juliet: the love; the passion; the unlikely pair. Although Romeo and Juliet may be a great tale of two unlikely lovers, it could never compare to Our Christian Story. However, throughout these two renowned stories, elements of love and sacrifice can be demonstrated frequently. Out of love, we are able to make sacrifices for those whom which we hold dear to our hearts; when humanity betrayed God by consuming fruit from the forbidden tree, He displayed an unconditional love by sending His only son, Jesus Christ, to absolve us from sin. This represents a vital bond of love that has, over time, remained between God and humanity, but to experience this bliss we must freely embrace…

    In Act 1 Scene 5, Shakespeare presents the relationship between Romeo and Juliet as sacred. This is evident from Romeo's words to Juliet, " If I profane with my unworthiest hand/ This holy shrine, the gentle sin is this". Romeo is comparing Juliet's hand to a holy place which is unworthy to be visited by Romeo's hand. "My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand/ To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss." These words by Romeo again do the job of making it clear to the audience that the relationship between Romeo and Juliet is holy. Romeo says to Juliet that if she is offended by the touch of Romeo's hand, his two lips are blushing pilgrims which are ready to make things better with a kiss. Juliet addresses Romeo as a "pilgrim" and herself…
