“Romeo and Juliet” In William Shakespeare`s play, “Romeo and Juliet”, is a story about two-star crossed lovers that must hide their deep love for each-other because of bad blood between the Montague’s, and Capulet’s .Romeo`s relationship with his parents is strong, on the other hand, Juliet is closer to the nurse than her own parents .Romeos parents are concerned for his happiness, and want what’s best for him. Juliet’s father, Capulet, truly loves his daughter yet isn’t aware of her thoughts or feelings .He wants what’s best for her, but on his own terms.

For example, on lines (210-211) it says, “Alas, my liege, my wife is dead tonight! Grief of my son`s exile hath stopped her breath”. This shows that even though Romeo and his parents aren’t that close, it still caused the grief of the father, and death of the mother. The relationship between Juliet and her parents is much different. For example, on lines (80-88) Lady Capulet is trying to convince Juliet to marry Paris because Juliet is already considered “old”, and because Paris has the looks, and money.

This shows that her mother is more worried about marrying her off to a guy that has the looks and money, instead of letting Juliet choose what, and who she wants.
