Who is to blame? Romeo and Juliet notes

WHO IS TO BLAME

“Romeo and Juliet” is a young couple’s play about love and hate, adolescent angst and death by Shakespeare. The continual feud between the Montague and the Capulet families results in ongoing conflict. There are many factors that are responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. Friar Lawrence, fate and their parents can be held responsible for their tragic demise. But the lovers too, especially Romeo, makes some poor decisions. Miscalculation and accidents also play a part.

See some Sample paragraphs based on TEEL structure for text response.

THE FEUDING FAMILIES  

The feud is responsible for the tragic deaths. They are born into enemy families and it is expected that both marry a person from the same family. There is a lot of ill-feeling and hatred between the two clans. The feuding families creates a malignant context for the lovers. The play is about ‘The fearful passage of their death-mark’d love, And the continuance of their parents’ rage, which but their children’s end nought could remove. ’

When Juliet first meets Romeo she knows that their relationship is cursed because it is her fate to fall in love with a member of the enemy household. Juliet and Romeo are both determined to find a way to be together and get married despite their enemy status. Juliet regrets that Romeo is a Montague, but she asks, “What’s in a name”. She tells Romeo, “doff thy name … and take all myself.”

Marriage plans:

Lord Capulet insists on the marriage.  (Act 4/1 and Act 3/5)

Lord and Lady Capulet force her to marry Paris without asking her opinion because they assume that she will obey them. They misunderstand the extent and purpose of her grief following Tybalt’s death. They think it is simply unhealthy.

When she does not obey their orders, Lord Capulet gets angry “Hang you, you minx! You disobedient wretch! I’ll tell you now: Go to the church on Thursday, or never look on my face again!” He is very arrogant and shows little concern for Juliet’s feelings. He accuses her of being ungrateful. This makes Juliet extremely unhappy and gives her further reason to be disobedient. As a result she consults Friar Lawrence.

  MERCUTIO AND TYBALT

The continued brawling between clan members such as Tybalt and Mercutio directly leads to Romeo’s exile. BOTH Mercutio (Montagues) and Tybalt (Capulet) are troublemakers.  Shakespeare constructs the two figures as mirror images of their different families. Both and Mercutio incite hatred and inflame the tension between the two clans.  Both bear a grudge against each other. They both use words and phrases to deliberately offend each other.

Mercutio is just as provocative as Tybalt. When they meet in Act III, Mercutio states that “I care not” that Tybalt is coming and that they must prevent a fight. His language and his words are very inflammatory. In response to Tybalt he states “a word and a blow”.  He deliberately misunderstands/ misinterprets Tybalt’s words, “consortst” as an insult. Tybalt deliberately uses the word “consort’st” because of its double meaning.  As a result, Mercutio interprets this offensively. He is the one who draws his “fiddlestick” or sword first and prompts a fight.   He refuses to listen to reason from either Benvolio or Romeo.  He also refers to Romeo’s words of peace as “vile submission”.

Likewise, Mercutio hates Tybalt and provokes him to a fight when he asks if Tybalt, the “Good King of Cats”, is a coward, “Tybalt, you rat-catcher, will you walk” (3.1)

Tybalt is also provocative and greets Romeo with the phrase “here comes my man”.   Tybalt has a grudge against Romeo from the time he comes to the ball. He is stubborn, hot-tempered and provocative. Tybalt says he hates “peace” as he hates “hell, all Montagues, and thee.” He says to Romeo, “thou art a villain”, which refers to the fact that he is intended as an insult and refers to a man of inferior birth, as a peasant.  He tells Romeo, “turn and draw”.

He also feels slighted that Lord Capulet seems to protect Romeo and state that he is a “virtuous” and “well-govern’d youth” with a good reputation. This seems to fuel Tybalt’s sense of inferiority, and, feeling slighted and aggrieved, he is constantly looking for an outlet to vent his anger on Romeo.

He derails R’s attempts to mediate between the clans.  He exacerbates and aggravates the tension between the clans. He refers to Romeo as his “man” which is a pun on servant; it is demeaning. He states that he cannot excuse the “injuries that thou hast done me”.

Tybalt refuses to take Romeo seriously, when he states that he “loves thee better than thou canst devise”. He goes against the Prince’s orders when he provokes the brawl and kills Mercutio, thus provoking Romeo.  He is so hot-tempered that he takes advantage of Romeo’s attempts to restrain Mercutio and stabs him. He recklessly and impulsively stabs Mercutio thus precipating a chain of action that leads to the death of both Romeo and Juliet.

When Romeo kills Tybalt, Romeo must flee. Because of his fiery nature, he becomes the catalyst for the ensuring tragic events.  He lacks Romeo’s charitable attitude and peaceable nature.

Both Tybalt and Mercutio play a major role in Romeo’s downfall. They refuse to settle for peace. They deliberately use inflammatory words. They both want to fight.

ROMEO has a tendency to be impulsive and this contributes to his exile . Even Friar Lawrence tries to warn him that it is not good to be impulsive. Friar Lawrence is shocked that Romeo has so quickly changed his affection from Rosaline to Juliet. However, Romeo does display his love for Juliet when he tries to restrain Tybalt and states that contrary to expectation he “love(s) thee better than thou canst devise”

After Tybalt kills Mercutio, he decides that he must defend his honour and no longer shows control and restraint. He imagines that his love has weakened him. He worries that Juliet’s “beauty hath made me effeminate” and is determined to change this. He says let “fire-eyed fury be my conduct now”. Only when it is too late, he realizes how foolish he has been. He realizes he is “fortune’s fool” and doomed by their feuding families. Sadly, Romeo also panics when he sees Juliet in the casket.

THE TRAGEDY is a catalogue of errors originating in Fr L’s ill-hatched plan.

• it was too sophisticated and risk-laden (despite its worthy aims) and ends up with disastrous consequences
• he encourages Juliet to deceive her parents; she fakes death which is a very upsetting experience for her parents.
• F L does not have any back-up plans; Friar John was waylaid by authorities and FL fails inform Balthasar who hurries to tell Romeo about Juliet’s death.
• R ends up distraught and unable to think clearly: Romeo is too young and impulsive to evaluate the situation when it backfired

  Ill-hatched plan 

Friar Lawrence’s scheme is not well planned and is perhaps too sophisticated for the young lovers. Juliet blindly places her faith in Friar Lawrence and when the plan backfires both Romeo and Juliet are too young, naive and innocent to think of other remedies.

Friar Lawrence instigates the dangerous plan that has disastrous consequences, although love and peace are his main aims. He states that “ this this alliance may so happy prove to turn your households’ rancour to pure love’ .  Friar organises the risk-laden scheme which seeks to avoid Juliet’s hasty marriage to Paris. (Also he knows that Juliet is threatening to kill herself if he does not find a solution.)  The plan appears simple, but it is full of risks.

It encourages Juliet to deceive her parents.  She feigns death which leads to disaster upon the lack of communication with Romeo.  Friar Lawrence’s scheme is not well planned and is perhaps too sophisticated for the young lovers. Juliet blindly places her faith in Friar Lawrence and when the plan backfires both Romeo and Juliet are too young, naive and innocent to think of other remedies.

He does not have any back-up plans. Friar John is held up by the authorities. He is unable to give Romeo the letter about Friar Lawrence’s scheme because he and another monk were delayed by the authorities and quarantined. (“Where the infectious pestilence did reign, Seal’d up the doors, and would not let us forth”.)

Friar Lawrence fails to inform, Romeo’s servant Balthasar, who hurries to Romeo with the news that Juliet is dead. He begs Romeo to show patience, which may have led to a different outcome. Pale and wildly impetuous, Romeo decides to go straight to her tomb.

When he learns about her “death” Romeo rushes to buy poison. In front of Juliet’s body he remains with their memories. He remembers the memory of her kiss: “Death, that hath suck’d the honey of thy breath.” After his death by “true apothecary”, Juliet wakes up and kills herself with a “dagger”

The rivalry between the M and C were the main reason for the death of Romeo and Juliet. Discuss.

Sample paragraphs. 

The simmering brawl between warring clan members such as Tybalt and Mercutio directly precipitates the chain of tragic events that leads to Romeo’s exile and the lovers’ death. Shakespeare constructs the two figures as mirror images of their different families which bear an ancient grudge that is difficult, or impossible, to resolve. Both Mercutio, a Montague,  and Tybalt, a Capulet, are clearly troublemakers; both are antagonistic towards the Prince’s decree that … “if you ever disturb our streets again, your lives shall pay the price of it”.   Initially at the masked ball, Tybalt is warned by Capulet to bury his resentment, but instead he is left smouldering from what he feels as an offensive intrusion by a Montague. During the later street encounter, Mercutio is just as provocative as Tybalt. When they meet in Act III, Mercutio states that “I care not” that Tybalt is coming and that they must prevent a fight. Shakespeare constructs the scene in such a way to show how their continued enmity obstructs reconciliation and peace. He employs puns that are used by both Tybalt and Merc to inflame the situation. For example, Mercutio deliberately misunderstands/ misinterprets Tybalt’s words, “consortst”, used because of its double meaning, as an insult. M is the one who draws his “fiddlestick” or sword first and prompts a fight.   He refuses to listen to reason from either Benvolio or Romeo.  He also refers to Romeo’s words of peace as “vile submission”.   Likewise, Mercutio hates Tybalt and provokes him to a fight when he asks if Tybalt, the “Good King of Cats”, is a coward, “Tybalt, you rat-catcher, will you walk” (3.1) Eventually the death of M and then Tybalt leads to Romeo’s exile and the ill-hatched plan of Friar Lawrence.

If Mercutio and Tybalt act as catalysts, Shakespeare also depicts Lord Capulet as a contributing partner to the tragedy owing to the misuse of his power and authority. His misguided arrogance and despotic nature seal her fate owing to the hasty order to marry Paris, in complete disregard of her wellbeing. Whilst there are some redeeming features to Capulet such as his conciliatory attitude displayed towards Romeo at the masked ball, Shakespeare does place considerable emphasis on his unreasonable order to hastily marry Paris. He clearly misunderstands Juliet’s wishes and the purpose of her grief following Tybalt’s death.   Shakespeare depicts Tybalt as clearly sharp despotic ordering her to marry. “Hang you minx …” (quotes…) Shakespeare continues to show how the misuse of his authority and power, which could have been used to solve the feud, instead contributes to the tragic chain of events that leads to the death of the lovers

Whilst most members of the feuding families have a direct influence on the outcome, Friar Lawrence’s ill-hatched plan has an indirect influence on the hasty deaths of the lovers as Romeo is bound for exile. However, in the scheme of the play, Shakespeare would suggest that his role, whilst unfortunate, is less blameworthy because of his motives to secure peace. Also, he acted in the best interests of the lovers aware of the depth of their feeling.  (Quotes for F L …) However, the plan was nevertheless too sophisticated and risk-laden to withstand the degree of bad luck and unfortunate circumstances. …   the passionate lovers took drastic and impetuous measures.

This brief essay presents the idea that in Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare offers us a window in time through which we can witness an event of immense impact on the world of late medieval and early Renaissance Europe – an event that changed values, authority, religion, government – in short, an event that altered the course of Western intellectual, moral, political and economic history forever. We feel its effects even today. Henry VIII’s declaration of total sovereignty in matters of both Church and State, as supreme head of the church, forced upon his people a radical, devastating choice. They had to choose between their faith, with the Pope as head of the Church, and their country, with their loyalty and allegiance given only to their King. Abandonment of the former would lose them their immortal souls. Disobedience to the latter would lose them their property and very likely their heads. Henry forced his people to accept a new religion, under the guise of reformation. The story of the Montagues and the Capulets can be seen, in brief, as an allegory of the continuous warring of the Church and the State, respectively, and the resulting dislocation and relocation of the soul and body of humankind (or the concepts thereof) in the new combination created by Henry VIII.

Thomas Honegger

Published in Journal of Historical Pragmatics 7 (2006):73-88. Abstract: The joint sonnet of the two lovers-to-be at the Capulet feast towards the end of the first act is rightly regarded as the dramatic and poetic climax of the first part of the play. Yet it constitutes, from an interactional point of view, merely a first move and the declarations of love proper occur only later in the orchard scene of the second act. This article explores the complex negotiations that precede the actual confessions of love and investigates how Shakespeare modified his rather simplistic source text, Arthur Brooke’s Romeus and Juliet (1562), in order to exploit the full interactional and dramatic potential of the situation.

International Journal of Research

Chung Chin-Yi

Romeo and Juliet think the grandness of their passion is enough for them to defy their parents will but the fault in their stars is that the environment around them grows so hostile to their passion as a series of events involving the conflict between the two families escalated by the slaying of Mercutio and Tybalt will lead them to take their own lives to escape the violence. It is thus futile for this pair of teenage lovers to defy providence and their parents’ will as it ends in their own destruction. Romeo and Juliet is then a play about idealized metaphysical love that fails to realize itself in the material world because it is fallen and hostile to their desire.

Romeo and Juliet, Who To Blame

In Romeo and Juliet, there are many explanations for the deaths of the two teens, but there is one important one that stands out above all the rest. In this tragic story, two young people from opposite families fall in love and marry secretly, without the knowledge of their parents or guardians. Things, however, do not turn out as planned, and the youths are forced to take responsibility for their actions. In William Shakespeare’s play “Romeo and Juliet,” the Friar Lawrence and the Nurse are both judged responsible in the murders of the young lovers and they are both executed as a result of their actions.

Despite the fact that the children’s parents were not there, Friar Lawrence and the Nurse approved to the marriage of the two youngsters. “Good heart, and I’m confident I will tell her as much” “Come, come with me, and we will get to work right away, since, by your leaves, you will not be forgotten. Someone would raise an objection because Friar Lawrence and the Nurse may have been pursuing a peaceful solution to the matter without taking into mind the possibility that anything could have gone wrong in the course of their efforts.

Neither the Nurse nor Lawrence, on the other hand, were blind to the fact that Romeo and Juliet were children, and neither the Nurse nor Friar Lawrence thought or discussed communicating with their parents about the matter at hand. In their inability to realize how the children were not thinking logically, Friar Lawrence and the Nurse made a critical error, which is crucial because Friar Lawrence and the Nurse should have taken a more mature approach and discussed the situation with the parents. The deeds of Romeo and Juliet were beyond the comprehension and contemplation of Friar Lawrence, despite the fact that he was putting together plans for the couple to be together who believed that as long as the sky is shining upon their pious conduct, they will not be chastised by the after-hours with anguish.

This is important because, if Friar Lawrence had given it more consideration and considered the ramifications, things may have turned out better and the young adults might have been able to spend more time together in a more favorable setting. Even though Friar Lawrence was well aware of the consequences, he believed and held to a notion that everything would turn out the way he had intended, and he did not believe that anything could have gone wrong as a result of his actions. The alternative possibility is that, if Friar Lawrence had understood that his actions would have serious consequences, he would have rethought his actions and Romeo and Juliet may have lived happily ever after.

At long last, the Nurse concluded that Romeo and Juliet should continue their wedding act, and he supported Romeo in slipping into the castle by supplying ropes for him to climb up, all while keeping it a secret from her master’s-parents-parents and their parents. Juliet’s etymology “Thank you for accepting my greetings and for welcoming me to your bedroom. I believe it is Romeo who will soothe you”, “Aye aye the chords”, and the loveliest thing of all, “O, what a great thing learning is!” It is my pleasure to advise your wife that you will be in attendance.”

However, the Nurse was only concerned with following out Juliet’s-her ladyship’s-wishes, and as a result, she was acting without accepting responsibility. Because she was much older and wiser than Juliet, the Nurse should have responded with greater maturity, and she shouldn’t have completely sided with them, particularly when Romeo was exiled from the town, as she ought to have done. Due to the Nurse’s intervention and plotting the completion of a wedding act in order to make things legal, the parents were not informed of her activities or intentions, which made this information critical. The interfering of Friar Lawrence and the Nurse in the lives of Romeo and Juliet is a significant cause in their deaths.

During their time together, Romeo and Juliet were formulating a plan for coping with their own fate. However, despite the fact that they were fully aware that their relationship was not likely to end as pleasantly as it would be if they married someone else, they opted to remain together due to their undying love for one another. When the characters die, the major theme of the play – the forcefulness of love – is brought to mind because it illustrates how deeply they were in love with each other and how their love stopped them from being able to think properly when they were together.

We may deduce from their story that things should not be rushed and that a couple should consider the ramifications of their choices as well as the reactions of others around them. Then there’s the fact that, via his story, William Shakespeare is aiming to make a point about the ridiculousness of family feuds between the Montague and Capulet families, which end up enveloping not just the two lovers but also other characters like as Mercutio, Paris, and Tybalt.
