Romeo and Juliet
My theme for Romeo and Juliet is that children can disobey their parents if they have a justifiable reason. I chose this theme because Romeo and Juliet obviously really loved each other. Why not let them be happy. Love if a justifiable reason to go behind their parents backs. The least important point in this theme is when Romeo goes to the Capulets party. At first Romeo did want to go, due to the fact that before he seen Juliet he was loved Rosaline and she was a Capulet. With a little encouragement Mercutio talked Romeo into going. “Nay, gentle Romeo we must have you dance.” After they get to the party, that’s when Romeo sees Juliet, but he doesn’t know at that point that she was a Capulet. When the nurse tells Juliet Romeo was a Montague, things went from there. Next would be Juliet arguing with her parents, mostly her dad, about marring Paris. Juliet doesn’t even know Paris and when she meets him she doesn’t like him anyways. “He shall not make me there a joyful bride.” Juliet is in love with Romeo the minute she lays eyes on him at the Capulet party. Instead her parents are forcing her to marry Pairs later that week. That’s why her and Romeo have to act fast. The biggest and the most important point to this theme is when Juliet marries Romeo. They only did it behind their parents backs because they both knew none of them would agree to it. The nurse and Friar Lawrence were the only two people to help, to make it happen. Romeo was waiting with Friar Lawrence while the nurse told Juliet that she was to go to “confessions.” In all reality it was an excuse so they could get married. It all works out the way it was planned and they get married. After that Romeo kills Tybalt, Juliet’s cousin, and gets banished. When the nurse finds out she tells Juliet and they make a plan to spend their honeymoon together that night before he must leave. Juliet gives the nurse a ring to give to Romeo when she goes to tell him the plan. “Here sir, a ring she bid me give

    The bodies of Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet were found today in the Capulet tomb. Romeo had taken a poison, and Juliet stabbed herself with Romeo’s dagger. But the question is why? It all begins with the feuding Montagues and Capulets. Romeo and his friends sneak into a Capulet party, where Romeo meets and falls in love with Juliet. With the help of Friar Lawrence, who hopes to reconcile the families, they are secretly married the next day. Juliet’s cousin Tybalt, who hates the Montagues more than anyone, challenges Romeo to a fight. Romeo refuses. Mercutio is offended by the way Tybalt treats them and accepts the fight on Romeo’s behalf. Mercutio ends up getting killed. Romeo loses his self control and kills Tybalt in return, which leads to his exile by the Prince. He threatens to execute Romeo if he returns. Juliet is distressed. The Capulets misinterpret it, and threaten to disown her if she does not marry Paris. Friar Lawrence gives Juliet a potion that will put her in a death like state. Balthasar, unaware of the plan, gives Romeo false news that Juliet is dead. Heartbroken, Romeo purchases a poison and goes to the Capulet tomb where he murders Paris. Still believing Juliet to be dead, Romeo drinks the poison which kills him instantly. Juliet awakens, finding Romeo dead beside her, and stabs herself. The families are reconciled by the deaths of their children and agree to end their violent feud.…

    One major theme is the inevitability of fate, which the characters blame for the death of Romeo and Juliet. He mentions how fate itself is becoming angry, and thus the outcome of the play is tragedy; "Unhappy fortune!"(V.iii.17). The fact of violence being ineffective is shown also through Friar Lawrence. Friar Lawrence is a man who loves too much, and because he loves too much he helps out. Because of this a lot of useless violence is brought up in the play. "Violent delights have violent ends"(II.vi.9), the Friar foreshadows the final outcome of Romeo's already fated death. Another theme is that love can end hate. Friar Lawrence believes in this because he wants to marry Romeo and Juliet so that the two families will end their grudge. Again love is shown as a powerful force when Juliet finds the courage to drink the…

    If it weren't for Romeo’s actions, both he and Juliet would have never fallen in love, and never ended up taking their own lives. Romeo is most at fault for his death and the death of Juliet because Romeo should have listened to Friar Lawrence. He should not have fallen in love with Juliet so easily, and he should have respected the feud between the two families and stayed away from the Capulets.…

    The theme of Romeo and Juliet is about a consuming love. It is a play filled with hatred overcome by love. Old hate versus young love, who take no thought for the past or future. With this love ending by “love-devouring death.” The hatred overcame the young love and left the two in love desperate, thinking death was the only way to be together.…

    I decided to put the fight and Tybalt’s death in between the wedding and the wedding night because I felt that it would add action and suspense. It worked out perfectly where Juliet had to test her love for Romeo and if it was worth it or not. Juliet had to decide whether her love for Romeo was strong and important enough even after he killed her dear cousin. I also put it in this order so the Montagues and Capulets would hate each other even more than they did before. This made it so the acceptance from Lord Capulet of Juliet’s love for Romeo would be much harder to receive, adding suspense and making things more dramatic yet emotional.…

    He has to confess his newfound love. The fact that Romeo goes to Friar as soon as he meets her, shows that Romeo confides in the Friar. Even the fact that his newfound love is the daughter of Romeos family’s enemy, the Capulet’s, does not stop Romeo from confessing his love to the Friar. In Act 3, scene 3, Romeo goes to Friar Lawrence to see what his punishment for stabbing and killing Tybalt. Romeo calls Friar “Father”, “Father, what news? (Shakespeare 141)”. Friar calls Romeo “son”, “Too familiar is my dear son with such sour company (Shakespeare 141)”. How they address each other is very appropriate for their relationship. Throughout the…
