Romeo and Juliet Eulogy

Balthazar (Romeo’s servant) is presenting a eulogy for Romeo

Why is it that, the violent passions of others, can result in the unwanted deaths of the innocent?
Why is it that, out of all of the noble citizens of Verona, two of the most innocent citizens, ever to have walked the streets of this renowned city, are lying before us today, looking the horrible face of death straight into its eyes?
It is completely understandable if you were unable to fully answer my previous questions, and please, do not feel shameful if you were unable to do so.

However, if those questions are to go unanswered, I believe it may be necessary for me to ask one final question: “Is it possible to appreciate and believe in true love within the walls of Verona, knowing all too well what the outcome was for the first two people who did so?” By reflecting upon this heartbreaking outcome for both late Master Romeo Montague and Lady Juliet Capulet, it is fair to believe that both he and she would want others, to be able to go forth and receive the will to love freely, knowing there are no consequences if they were to do so.

Capulets, Montagues, friends and family of the deceased and other fellow citizens of Verona, we are gathered here today to mourn the tragic loss of both Master Romeo and Lady Juliet. With all due respect to the Capulets, I shall only be speaking on Master Romeo’s behalf. This is due to the fact that I have attained the honour of doing so from being granted permission from his family.

When I obtained the privilege to serve Master Romeo, I knew from the first day of service, I had formed not only formed a great deal of respect for my master, but also an undeniable friendship. He was the most modest, loyal and cheerful master I have ever obtained the privilege to serve. Master Romeo also possessed a high level of intelligence, which was mainly shown by his fine array of poems and sayings, which were all dedicated to Lady

    Both the Capulet family and the Montague family are fools. They think all this fighting will achieve something? Well I hope Christ is looking upon them, for their sake. Now all this fighting has led to the death of a child from each of their families. Romeo and Juliet are dead because of this ludicrous feud, but I will pray for them none the less. I feel as though it is my fault, that I caused all of this, but they are still children of the Lord and it is my duty to look after all of them. I will pray for Romeo and I will pray for Juliet all night in front of the Lord. What if I had told someone about the marriage and the plan to fake Juliet's death? Maybe they would still be with us.…

    Many have said that romance brings love and affection, but when taken to the extreme, it can lead to tragedy and despair. In the literary play Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare created a tragedy protagonist, Juliet, whose tragic death “buries their parents’ strife” (Prologue). The eternal feud between Montague and Capulets restraints the love between Romeo and Juliet and ultimately lead to their death. Juliet’s death has many different factors, and it’s hard to determine the truly blame of Juliet’s death. In all the important characters, Lord Capulet refuses to listen to Juliet’s request, which result in Juliet’s death. In the other hand, Romeo’s immature, impulsive and Friar Lawrence’s cowardice are all generate Juliet’s tragedy.…

    William Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet focuses on two young lovers, whose love is destined for destruction from the beginning because of the tenacious pride of their families. Although Shakespeare’s play celebrates the beauty of love through Romeo and Juliet, ultimately it is about the destructiveness of pride and honour shown through the both families and the feud between them. Although the audience is aware of the tragic fate of the pair we hope that it will be averted because we wish that the family will change their ways for the sake of their offspring. Throughout the play, Shakespeare demonstrates the beauty of love and how the love between Romeo and Juliet could resolve the feud between the two families. Although the beauty of love is celebrated, it is overshadowed by the destructiveness of pride between the two families and the influence of the feud on the younger members of each family. We are also shown the emotional consequences of family honour through Lord and Lady Capulet’s abandonment of Juliet and the irresponsibility of the Nurse and Friar Lawrence for not speaking up and the consequences of this as well as how both families’ obstinate pride leads to the fall of Romeo and Juliet.…

    I come before you all, perhaps at fault, perhaps condemnable, but in mourning of this portentous matter, just as you, nonetheless. Such a lamentable day as this has never yet existed, and on no account will another as tragic befall Verona in such pernicious splendor. Juliet Capulet and Romeo Montague, brought to Death by blind ambiguity and an ill-starred love, deserve more than passing sorrow and enduring reconciliation amid these grieving families: they ought to be remembered and not forgotten.…
