"Wisely and slow, they stumble that run fast." Friar Lawrence states this quote in the play Romeo and Juliet, written by William Shakespeare, which shows the concern of two teenagers falling in love too quickly. In the tragic play Romeo and Juliet the extreme action taken by the two lovers suggests that their love was too rash and would never have lasted due to Romeo being in love with another woman in the beginning of the play and falling in love with Juliet immediately, how Juliet so quickly forgave Romeo for the death of Tybalt, and the forever feud and dangers that would come from their families with this relationship. In the beginning of Romeo and Juliet, the main male protagonist, Romeo, is deeply in love with a lady named Rosaline. Romeo …show more content…
Juliet says “O serpent heart hid with a flow’ring face! Did ever dragon keep so fair a cave? Beautiful tyrant, fiend angelical! … Just opposite to what thou justly seem’st, A ⌜damnèd⌝ saint, an honorable villain. O nature, what hadst thou to do in hell. When thou didst bower the spirit of a fiend. In mortal paradise of such sweet flesh?” (Romeo and Juliet 3.2.79-88) This quote shows how Juliet thought that Romeo was so beautiful and perfect on the outside, but on the inside he had bad intentions. However, when the nurse speaks poorly of Romeo, Juliet is very quick to defend his name. Her cousin was just murdered by her husband without reason known to her, yet she still mourns …show more content…
Romeo's banishment is the cause of Juliet's grief. Since her parents are unaware of their daughter's love for Romeo, however, and of their marriage, which Friar Laurence performed the previous day—on the morning of the afternoon that Romeo killed Tybalt, in fact—they reasonably attribute her grief to Tybalt's death and assume that she hates Romeo for killing him.” This quote tells how the Capulets believe Juliet’s grief is over Tybalt and that she hates Romeo. This is not at all true due to the reader's knowledge. Juliet sided with her newly wed husband over her cousin because of love. “ Shall I speak ill of him, that is my husband?”(Romeo and Juliet 3.2.106) Juliet says to the nurse. Once Juliet finds out Romeo has been banished, she feels as if that is a worse punishment than Tybalt dying. Romeo and Juliet have only been wed for three hours, yet she believes that Romeo's banishment is worse than Tybalt’s
To her family, he is just an evil Montague who is their enemy. Lady Capulet believes Juliet will be happier if she marries County Paris because she believes Juliet is grieving Tybalt’s death, not Romeo’s banishment. Rather than seeing her husband’s red flags and leaving him, Juliet has already pardoned him and still wants to be with him. Romeo is a fiend to her family, so it is not easy for the Capulet and Montague to be
forswear it, sight! For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night.” (?????) Despite the fact that Romeo and Juliet
For instance, subsequently Friar Laurence states how surprised he was at Romeo’s idiocy, Friar Laurence says, “Hast thou slain Tybalt? Wilt thou slay thyself? / And slay thy lady that in thy life lives, / by doing damned hate upon thyself?” (3.3.122-124). Friar Laurence tries to remind Romeo that by self-slaughtering, it will lead to the death of Juliet shown through the words, “slay thy lady” and “by doing damned hate upon thyself”.
Context: Juliet fails to trust the people around her like the nurse or friar, and it leads to problems that could have been avoided. Quote/detail: “Ancient damnation! O most wicked fiend!
The prince exiled Romeo which greatly affected Romeo and Juliet because they were supposed to announce their marriage so that their family feud can die down, but instead, the relationship between the two households became even more strained than before as a result of Romeo’s actions. After the banishment of Romeo, Juliet is arranged to marry Paris which causes her to fake her death and eventually causes Romeo and Juliet to end their lives. Furthermore, Lady Capulet felt grief when Romeo killed her nephew Tybalt which led her to plead with the prince to give Romeo a
This quote shows that since they want Romeo dead Juliet and him have to split up. In Act 3 Scene 1 the Capulet’s says “Marry my child earky next Thursday morning. They is forcing Juliet into marriage nand now she hass to find a way out. Lord and Lady capulet bitterness have lead to the deaths of Romeo and Juliet.
When Romeo secretly attends the party, he acts irresponsibly, putting himself into a dangerous situation with his enemies, the Capulets. Juliet notices how dangerous of a feat this is by asking the nurse for his name, when given the answer Juliet says “ My only love, sprung from my only hate! Too early seen unknown, and known too late! Prodigious birth of love it is to me. That I must love a loathed enemy” (1.5.138-142).
They stumble that run fast.” indicating to Romeo that he should slow down and act wise instead of immature. This quote backs up my claim by Romeo being so immature and wanting to rush into getting married so early on in their relationship, and going behind their families
(III, 2, 71) When the Prince hears of this disaster he banishes Romeo and leaves Juliet in deep despair. “Romeo killed Tybalt, and he is banished.” (III, 2, 72) When Juliet’s parents see the state Juliet is in they think that if they arrange for her to marry Paris it will help with her grieving. They couldn’t have been more wrong about
Romeo faces banishment by the Prince and the possibility of being distant from his love,
I vow while there is blood in my veins and air in my lungs I shall pursue Juliet with my all. I must, MUST see her again. Ushered upon thou very lips thou spoke that thou doth love me. If this much is true, and true it must be, then this love shall not be broken by my murderous act. But I am banished; a criminal.
What Lord Capulet meant by these two quotes is that although Romeo is a Montague, Romeo is a virtuous and well-governed-youth who is not causing any trouble at the party, and that Lord Capulet would not do him disparagement in his house for the wealth of the town. He then tells Tybalt that Romeo should be endured. Lord Capulet is able to use his reasoning and wise judgement and tells Tybalt to back off. Lord Capulet also does not want to start a fight with Romeo because it will disrupt the peace of the town, and also because the two families fighting is forbidden. Lastly, the theme of passion and reason is seen when Juliet decides to take the potion from Friar Lawrence knowing that it could kill her and she could never see Romeo again.
Oh, what a beast was I to chide at him!” (3. 2. 4) Juliet then goes on to say that she was a beast to be angry with him, proving her loyalty lies with
