Why is mercuto's death important in romeo and Juliet?
It incites Romeo into killing Tybalt. The death of Tybalt not only get Romeo banished but makes it very unlikely that Lady Capulet will ever accept his marriage to Juliet. She would certainly have Romeo killed if she knew (she is planning to kill him anyway).
What choice does Juliet set before Romeo?
Juliet is proposing marriage to Romeo and she is giving him the choice to accept or deny her proposal.
Why does lady Capulet want Juliet to consider marriage?
You mean "Why does Capulet NOT let Juliet choose who she marries?" In many cultures around the world, people, especially young people, do not arrange their own marriages. India is a great example. The same situation applied to the society being represented in the play. Indeed, even in countries where people generally choose the people they marry, people who are not yet adults (who are, for example, thirteen like Juliet) may not marry without the consent of the parents, who have every right to oppose the proposed marriage. And that is certainly what the Capulets would have said about the idea of marrying Juliet to Romeo. Romeo, Juliet and the Friar hoped that if it was shown that they had not only gone through a form of marriage, but that they had consummated it by having sex, the Capulets would be forced to accept the situation. That is why they kept the marriage secret.
Why would friar Lawrence ask Juliet to carry out a dangerous plan instead of going to her parents and explaining that she was already married to romeo?
Because of Tybalt's death. Mrs. Capulet was so angry with Romeo for killing her favourite nephew that she was prepared to murder him--she tells Juliet as much. Before Tybalt's death the plan was to wait until the marriage was consummated and so could not be annulled, and then tell the parents who would have to accept a fait accompli. They would not likely consider the possibility of ending the marriage by making Juliet a widow. After Tybalt's death, Mrs. Capulet at least would certainly be prepared to do so.
What does Capulet mean by and too soon marred are those so early made?
Capulet means that getting married too young can lead to complications and problems because young people may not be ready for the responsibilities that come with marriage. Early marriages can be easily damaged by immaturity and lack of life experience.
How does Juliet's father respond to Paris's offer of marriage?
At first he doesn't think it's a good idea because she's too young and is his only child, but if Paris can sweep her off her feet when he has the ball then yes. The first time Paris offers for her hand in marriage Capulet says if he can sway her to love him Paris may marry Juliet. The second time Paris offers for her hand Capulet accepts on Juliet's behalf and sets the wedding for Thursday of that week.
What is Juliet thinking about as she stands alone on the balcony?
Juliet is worried that somebody other than the nurse and Friar Lawrence will find out that she married Romeo. She is trying to keep her marriage a secret because she thinks that people seeing a Capulet marrying a Montague will not accept it.
How does Romeo refusal to accept tybalts challenge be described?
Romeo's refusal to accept Tybalt's challenge can be described as an attempt to avoid further violence and to prevent escalating the feud between their families. He is motivated by his love for Juliet and does not want to harm Tybalt, as they are now related through marriage.
What events foreshadow Tybalt's death?
Tybalt's aggressive behavior and quick temper towards Romeo at the Capulet's party foreshadow his eventual death, as it sets up the feud between the Capulets and Montagues. His desire for revenge and confrontational nature also contribute to the events leading to his fatal encounter with Romeo in Act 3.
What do the Romeo and Juliet characters think about death?
They are not afraid of death. They are prepared to accept death rather than live without their beloved. In Juliet's case, she is prepared to die rather than be forced into a bigamous marriage.
What Is Capulets Reaction To Julian threats?
Juliet makes no threats. She has two lines and only two when her father is in the room with her. Juliet: Not proud you have, but thankful that you have; Proud can I never be of what I hate, But thankful even for hate, that is meant love. Juliet: Good father, I beseech you on my knees, Hear me with patience but to speak a word. Since when is it a threat to say "I'm begging you on my knees; let me speak"? Far from threatening, Juliet is contrite. She cannot marry Paris without committing bigamy, but she couches her refusal to marry him in as polite terms as she can, saying that she thanks him for making the arrangements for a marriage, knowing that it was done from love for her, but that she cannot be proud to be Paris's wife because she hates him and won't marry him. It is Capulet and only Capulet who threatens in this scene, and he is very rough with Juliet (in many productions physically so): Capulet: An you be mine, I'll give you to my friend; An you be not, hang beg, starve, die in the streets, For by my soul I'll ne'er acknowledge thee, Nor what is mine shall never do thee good. Trust to't, bethink you: I'll not be forsworn The key to his outrageous behaviour is in the last line: he has promised Paris that Juliet will marry him, has sworn it, and how can he now go back to Paris and welsh on that promise? He'd look a right chump. His pride can't accept it: he would rather beat up on Juliet than be shamed in front of Paris. Check out Damian Lewis's performance as Capulet in this scene (from the 2013 movie): it's brilliant.
Who says some twenty of them fought in this black strife in romeo and juliet?
Lady Capulet in Act 3 Scene 1. She is not prepared to accept the truth of the death of Tybalt from Benvolio, so she makes up a story which is in line with her own wishful thinking about twenty Montagues ambushing Tybalt. The Prince, fortunately, spots her for the frightful liar she is. Lady Capulet is a despicable character, and here she is at her most despicable.
