Loyalty In Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet
In Verona, there is a church where lies Juliet’s tomb but to this day the church is a museum for tourists to see the tomb that “belongs” to Juliet. They say that the tomb really does belong to Juliet because her family built the church. Well I believe that the tomb belongs to someone else who could have been related to Juliet or just some random person. The Venetian government say that they took the remains and cleaned everything out from the tomb. They told the people that they took Juliet’s body to a unknown location. The tomb couldn’t be real because the government wouldn’t give word or at least a picture to prove that Shakespeare’s story isn’t fiction. The government wouldn’t give word or at least a picture to prove that Shakespeare’s story isn’t fiction. Inside of the tomb, lies nobody because the remains inside were taken to a secret location by the Venetian government; because they didn't want the two suiciders (Romeo and Juliet) to have too much public attention.

All she was paying attention to was the love that Romeo gave to her. William Shakespeare could of put Juliet as a definition of love, because she cared about the love for Romeo instead of her own cousin, Tybalt. Shakespeare could of put Romeo as impudence because he made stupid mistakes. So if Shakespeare identified the personalities of each man and woman, he could have made up Romeo and Juliet. The tomb could be a fraud and the tomb could belong to someone else. Some argue about the government putting Juliet’s body to a good place where she wants to be. Saying that they don’t want too much public attention from tourist who believes in William Shakespeare’s book about Romeo and Juliet. If the word comes out about Romeo and Juliet’s story was fiction, then the tourist would be devastated about spending their money on a tomb, that was supposed to belong to Juliet, that isn’t real at

Someone could have seen him there and he could have been killed. In scene four, the nurse had visited Romeo, he told her “Bid her devise. Some means to come to shrift this afternoon; and there she shall at Friar Laurence's’ cell.…

They called her a curse upon the family “That God had lent us but this only child; But now I see this one is too much, And that we have a curse in having her” (Act 3 Scene 5) and Juliet’s mother told Juliet to her face that she wouldn’t care if Juliet were to kill herself at this point.

    Juliet’s personality and character is one of the most obvious and significant element that has been recontextualised. In Shakespeare’s play, Juliet is described to be more than just a pretty face; she’s smart, witty, determined and mature. She knows what she wants, and she gets it as it is Juliet who proposes to Romeo not the other way around. In the text, she is written to be thirteen years of age and begins the play as a naïve child who has thought little about love and marriage, but she grows up quickly upon falling in love with Romeo. Being a girl from a high social class family, she has none of the freedom Romeo has to roam around the city or climb over walls at midnight. However she shows amazing courage in trusting her life and future to Romeo, refusing to believe the worst reports about him and even willing to shut important people out of her life (nurse) the moment they turn against Romeo. "And when I shall die, take him and cut him up in little stars, and he will make the face of heaven so fine that the entire world will fall in love with night and pay no worship to the garish sun." Juliet’s role in society is very minor and simple. She is the pretty, ‘prized’ daughter of the Capulets and is expected to be obedient of men in their families. In the novel, she receives little guidance and help from her family and is expected to marry Paris as her father decided. This gives a clear example of women’s role and its unimportance.…

    One of the ways Juliet is showing her determination is trusting in her plan to fake her death. Immediately once Friar Lawrence tells her about the sleeping serum she jumps right on board of the plan. She immediately wants the potion as seen in the play, “Give me! Give me! O, tell not me of fear!”(V.i,124). Observing the quote shows that Juliet is determined enough to try anything to not marry Count Paris. She is risking her life on a serum that could possible kill her just so she will not have to marry Paris. Juliet is also sure that after she drinks the potion all work out as shown by what she says before she drinks it, “Romeo, Romeo, Romeo! Here’s drink. I drink to thee,”(V.iii.59).
