Tybalt, Juliet’s cousin, was the living embodiment of the feud between the Capulet and Montague families. He represents the hatred the families share towards each other, showing how he has learnt from birth to hate the Montague family. He is seen as the instigator of countless events with Romeo and his friends, even killing Romeo’s best friend, Mercutio. After killing Mercutio, in an act of revenge Romeo kills Tybalt. Juliet, regardless of being related to Tybalt, even knows that Romeo “lives, that Tybalt would have slain, And Tybalt’s dead, that would have slain [her] husband” (Shakespeare 3.2.115-118).…

Juxtaposition is a tried and true example of how opposites attract, they are essential in making potentially good work extraordinary. To understand and grasp their glory, one must read in between the lines. In said extraordinary works lies Romeo and Juliet. To say that Romeo and Juliet is simply a love story about a forbidden love between two star-crossed lovers is at best an ill attempted summary and at worst an insult to Shakespeare’s work and the characters as well. This is a complex story ,with complex characters, about love, loss, and just about everything in between, it is a story about two lovers that will live on forever in their death This story would not be what it is without the complex characters that inhibit it such as Juliet, Romeo and Friar Laurence.…

In William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, the nurse, Juliet’s guardian and confidante, plays an essential role in the romance and ultimately the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. The nurse, who obtains the paramount qualities of vulgarity, fierceness, and compassion, provides stability in the relationship between the two star-crossed lovers and realism and humor to the story. Firstly, the nurse’s vulgarity brings about comic relief. While telling Lady Capulet and Juliet a story about raising Juliet, she makes a sexual comment, saying that Juliet “wilt fall backward when {she} hast more wit,” (I, III, 45). She, being a low-class nurse, directs the remark toward Juliet, whose blood is purple. Although the nurse lacks sophistication and respect, the…
We should also really blame Tybalt, which is the troublemaker, for the death of star-crossed lovers. Tybalt had always started some brawls with the Montague. The day of the party had come, the Capulets welcomed guests to the party and invited everyone to get their groove on. While everybody was having a good time, Romeo saw Juliet dancing and fell in love at first sight. Meanwhile, Tybalt recognized Romeo. Blood boiled and his temper went up. Tybalt told Lord Capulet that he was going to beat up Romeo for crashing their party. Lord Capulet ordered him to relax and to leave Romeo alone. Romeo seemed to be a nice enough kid. Plus, Lord Capulet wisely told him that parties get ruined by opening brawls. Tybalt swore he will make Romeo pay for this…
She is known for talking a lot, usually about nonsense, she is also very indecisive. The nurse acted as Juliets messenger, Act 2 scene 4 lines 154-156 Nurse: Good heart, and I’ faith I will tell her as much, Lord, Lord! She will be a joyful woman. At first the nurse helps Romeo & Juliet, but when she hears of Romeo’s banishment. She advises Juliet to forget about him and to marry Paris. Act 3, scene 5 lines 214- 226. She suggests bigamy, and Juliet is furious that the Nurse talked about her husband as a dishcloth. Lines 234- 242. This is what causes Juliet to turn to the friar and have suicidal thoughts. Because the one person she depended on most betrayed her. The nurses sudden change of heart may be due to selfishness- she might of not wanted Juliet to go live in Mantua, or maybe she wanted to move in with Juliet in Paris’s…
That is evident as soon as she expresses to Juliet to look for love, ‘Go, girl, seek happy nights to happy days.’ this demonstrates a practical perspective towards love. The Nurse can be a very silly woman at times, however she is a very practical woman, and she adores Juliet like her own daughter. Throughout the play we see that the Nurse is a very chatty person who likes to talk at length. She is the type of person that will do whatever she has faith in or anything the Juliet desires, like when she had met Romeo in secret to arrange the marriage of the young pair who are madly in love. The connection between Juliet and her nurse is consistently showed. The Nurse has a companionate relationship with Juliet but they also have a very enjoyable relationship. We are able to clearly see this in Act 2 scene 5. When the Nurse is joking around with Juliet proclaiming that she is so worn out and she is out of breath. “I am a-weary give me leave awhile.' And ‘do you now not see that I am out of breath?’ by using facial expressed to Juliet the nurse is able to make her…

The choices we make today and the choices we make around others could affect them in ways that are not expected. William Shakespeare's expertise as a literary genius does not come naturally, for his theatrical masterpieces as a playwright entwine flawless craft with transcendent themes. In Shakespeare’s play, The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, the causes of Romeo and Juliet’s death are caused by the sophomoric actions that they thought were the logical action to take, but their deaths were helped caused by others. Mercutio, the nurse, and Friar Laurence all make decisions that cause outcomes not expected by them like Mercutio by forcing Romeo to go to the party, the Nurse by betraying Juliet, and the Friar by secretly marring the two. Mercutio, the nurse, and Friar Laurence all assisted to the deaths of Romeo and Juliet.…
From the very beginning in Act 1 scene 3, the Nurse of Juliet Capulet is introduced to us. Lady Capulet is asking to see her daughter. Instead of looking for Juliet herself, she goes to the Nurse for her whereabouts. “Lady Capulet: Nurse, where’s my daughter? Call her forth to me.” (1.3.1) From this first glance we can boldly assume that growing up in a grand family like the Capulets, Juliet is more acquainted with her Nurse rather than her mother. Another example is when the Nurse recalls Juliet’s childhood and how she breastfed her. It was very rare during the Elizabethan time for someone else to breastfeed one’s daughter instead of the biological mother. This is also part of the reason why there is such a gap between the older generation – Lady Capulet, and the younger generation- Juliet later on in the play.…
