On Tuesday morning, Paris told me of his proposed marriage to Juliet, a wedding scheduled to take place in two days. I expressed my concern that the wedding has been arranged too quickly, and I offered reasons to delay the ceremony. Paris believes that Capulet hastened the nuptials out of concern for Juliet's grief over Tybalt's death. Your beloved Juliet will be marrying Paris this coming Thursday. When Juliet came to me on Tuesday, she drew a dagger and threatened to kill herself unless I could help her. Juliet would rather kill herself than marry Paris, so I have arranged for her to fake her death. I have proposed a plan that consists of Juliet consenting to marry Paris. Then she must drink a sleeping potion that will make her appear to
In Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet two lovers are not meant to be together resulting in the tragic death of both Romeo and Juliet. The two lovers meet at a ball and fall in love at once, but they do not know until the end of the night that they are each from different feuding houses. They decide to marry in secret the next day. However, on that same day Romeo gets banished from Verona for killing Tybalt, Juliet’s cousin, and Juliet is being forced to marry County Paris in the next three days. Friar Lawrence, give Juliet a sleeping potion that will make her appear dead for three day. But when Romeo arrives to see her dead, he kills himself leaving Juliet to wake up and seeing him
Lord Capulet’s firm and merciless control can also be blamed for pushing his daughter to the extreme and ultimately her untimely death. When Juliet refuses to marry Paris, Lord Capulet proves his insensitivity, even threatening to disown his daughter and cast her to the streets if she does not obey his wishes. He warns her that she may “graze where [she] will, [she] will not house with [him]… for, by [his] soul, [he] will ne’er acknowledge [her]” (III v 200-205). These threats instill fear in Juliet, and in her despair, she seeks the advice of Friar Lawrence who gives her a potion that will make it appear as if she is dead the morning of the wedding. Lord Capulet can be blamed for his stubbornness and insensitivity despite his daughter’s sincere requests not to marry Paris.
When this was done Lord Capulet said “Send for the county. Go tell him of this. I’ll have this knot knit up tomorrow morning.”(Act 4 Scene 2) Lady Capulet tried to correct him when she said “No not till Thursday. There is time enough.”(Act 4 Scene 2). Lord Capulet refused to back down so that Juliet wouldn’t have time to change her mind by saying “Go, Nurse, go with her we’ll to church tomorrow.”(Act 4 Scene 2), and “Tush, I will stir about, and all things shall be well, I warrant thee, wife. Go thou to Juliet, help to deck up her. I’ll not to bed tonight. Let me be alone. I’ll play the house wife for this once.-What ho? They are all forth?-Well, I will walk myself to County Paris, to prepare him up against tomorrow. My heart is wondrous light since this same wayward girl is so reclaimed.”(Act 4 Scene 2). This rushed the plan by 24 hours which made it harder for the letter to get to Romeo on time, and caused Juliet to take the potion early. Then he had the funeral where the public could see her and think that she is dead when she really wasn’t so that Balthasar could think that she is dead and report to Romeo. This then led to Romeo getting the poison and using and then Juliet using a dagger because the one that she loved was
In document B, the Lady Capulet is questioning her about marriage asking if she can love Paris “The valiant Paris seeks you for his love… What say you? Can you love the gentleman? This night you shall behold him at our feast;”(DBQ: Who’s to Blame, Document B). Once again throughout the poem, Lady Capulet tells Juliet she has to get married “But now I’ll tell thee joyful tidings, girl… Marry, my child, early next Thursday morn...The County Paris, at Saint Peter’s Church, Shall happily make thee there a joyful bride” (DBQ: Who’s to Blame, Document D) and Juliet refuses because she was previously married to Romeo and getting married to two people without an annulment is a sin “...He shall not make thee there a joyful bride...” (DBQ: Who’s to Blame, Document D). Whenever her father learns of Juliet's refusal he goes wild “Hang thee, young baggage! Disobedient wretch! I tell the what: get thee to church o’ Thursday Or never after look me in the face: Speak not, reply, not do not answer me; My fingers itch”. Afterwards, Juliet begs Friar for a way to prevent this marriage and he gives her a potion. Him giving her the potion in the end killed Paris, Romeo and
In the book “Romeo & Juliet”, Romeo and Juliet had a relationship which lead to marriage and quickly to death. But which one of couple was the most genuine character? Juliet was the most genuine than Romeo. She was more genuine than Romeo from being Brave, Realistic, and Admirable. Those are reasons why Juliet is a more genuine character than Romeo.
"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined." This quote, by Henry David Thoreau, would have been good advice for Lord Capulet in the play Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare. If Lord Capulet had followed this advice, he would have allowed Juliet to decide who she wanted to marry. Because he did not let Juliet follow her own dreams, he is to blame for the deaths of both Juliet and Romeo.
The hatred between the Montagues and the Capulets triggered Friar Laurence to give Juliet a sleeping potion, an action with grave consequences. Her dilemma is that her father, Capulet, is ordering her to marry Paris but she can't because it would go against her religion because she is married in secret to Romeo. Juliet asks Friar Laurence for a solution to her dilemma. The Friar proposes that Juliet take a special potion that would make it seem like she were dead. This is the Friar's instructions to Juliet as to when to take the potion and the effects of the potion:
Friar Lawrence's Deadly Support “Hold daughter I do spy a kind of hope”(183). Spoken by Friar Lawrence in William Shakespeare's famous romantic tragedy, and describes his support towards Romeo and Juliet; however, sometimes helping someone does more harm than good. In William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, support is shown in more than just one way. Friar Lawrence's willingness to support Romeo and Juliet ultimately causes their deaths.
First Juliet must consent to marry Paris, and then the night before the wedding, she must drink a sleeping potion that will imitate death. With her death, the Capulet household will lay her to rest in the Capulet tomb, where then she will wake after 42 hours and be retrieved by Romeo who will elope with her to Mantua. However, the plan fails as a letter explaining the details of the plan was unsuccessfully delivered to Romeo in Mantua. Upon hearing the somber news, Romeo seeks out an apothecary for poison “whose sale is present death in Mantua, here lives a caitiff wretch would sell it him” (Shakespeare 5.1). With Juliet gone, Romeo finds no reason to continue living in the world as seeks an apothecary to buy poison from.
When people do not take the time to think things through, and instead rush into them, the repercussions can outweigh the benefits. In Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, Friar Lawrence warns Romeo “they stumble that run fast” (II.3). The Friar knows that Romeo’s quick actions may lead to large consequences, although he still agrees to marry the two lovers that same day. Both Romeo and Juliet show haste in their feelings. In addition, Capulet rushes into creating a marriage for Juliet without considering her reaction.
After the conference with Friar Laurence, Juliet returned home and convinced her father that she is willing to marry Paris when she had no intention of doing so. While speaking with her father, she said she repent disobeying him, and that she “met the youthful lord at Laurence’ cell/ And gave him what becomed love I might”(Juliet, IV, ii, 27-28), calming the rage and disappointment that Lord Capulet felt. Juliet manage to appease to her father, causing him to become ecstatic and pushing the marriage soon, inturn ruining the plan of Friar Laurence and caused Juliet to drink the potion on day earlier than intended. When she hear about the wedding was held on Wednesday, she became desperate and drank the potion from Friar Laurence, a potion that is suppose to put her into a death-like coma. After drinking the vial from Friar Laurence, Juliet’s nurse found her and bellowed out that “Alas, alas! Help,
Today I was told by the Weird Sisters that i would become Thane of Cawdor and soon King of Scotland. I would love to become king but the things that i would have to do to achieve this are out of the question. I hope Lady Macbeth does not find out about this because she would do terrible things to get me to be king. I hope to one day be king of Scotland but without hurting anyone. King Duncan already has abundant trust for me and I don’t plan on breaking that like the previous Thane of Cawdor did. It is my goal to become king one day, slowly but surely.
Hey guys, welcome back to the channel. Today we’ll be playing the fifth and final chapter of “Star-Crossed”.
I'm telling my team that Friday's are for following up, so I'm working on practicing what I preach! Just making extra sure you got my new contact info updated as I haven't heard back from you.
Everyone has most likely heard of Romeo and Juliet. In the tragic play, Romeo and Juliet, they have a conflict. No one knows that they are married. Juliet’s mother wants her to marry Paris, because she thinks it will not only make Juliet feel better, but cheer the whole family up with a wedding. See, her cousin Tybalt just died because Romeo was trying to safe Mercutio, which ended with Tybalt stabbing Mercutio under Romeo’s arm. Romeo felt guilt and avenged Mercutio by killing Tybalt. Romeo didn’t want to hurt Tybalt, because little did everyone know they just became family when he married Juliet. So Juliet made a plan when Romeo was exiled from town. She would fake her death and be awoken by her love, Romeo the next morning after her funeral. This ended with both deaths. Juliet should have just told her mother that she was married to Romeo so none of it happened.
