The relationship between both Romeo and Juliet and their parents is distant. Their parents are not involved in their lives and so do not really have a handle on what they are thinking. Only Capulet sometimes seems to do so, as he is able to remember his own youth when he went to parties in a mask fondly, and is accordingly indulgent to Romeo and his friends. He is also concerned at the start about arranging a marriage for Juliet when she is so young. When he changes his mind, he is still thinking about what Juliet is thinking, or what he imagines she is thinking, and arranges the marriage to cheer her up. Unfortunately once he has passed his word, his pride steps up to make him want to enforce his will. Mrs. Capulet also intends the best for her daughter, but having been married very young, she has difficulty imagining what Juliet is thinking. Her guesses are not good: Juliet will like the idea of marrying Paris. so we'll arrange the match; Juliet must hate Romeo for killing Tybalt, so we'll have Romeo murdered. Mrs. Montague expresses her concern about Romeo, but it is a sentimental concern. She knows nothing about him as a human being, and has no idea what goes on in his life. One imagines that the reason she dies because of her heartbreak over his banishment is that she still hasn't quite grasped that he is out of diapers. Montague has no discernible relationship with Romeo at all.
Are Romeo and Juliet rebellious in the modern sense? The need for children to grow up and stop being dependent on their parents is not new or modern in any way. It is part of how human beings develop and how they always have. They need to learn to depend on their own decision-making processes and resourcefulness, and when parents are dominating and controlling (as they often are) it is necessary for the children to push them away. Juliet needs to be much more rebellious than Romeo because her parents are much more controlling.
I dont believe Romeo has a good relationship with his parents. He doesn't seem to care about what they think or how his and Juliets love will affect his family.
Romeo and Juliet are not close to their parents. Romeo's parents worries about him but they do nothing. Juliet's parents are nasty to her and try to make her do whatever they want.
not a very close one at all
Its a good book.
Well, at least their families, or what is left of them, are not fighting any more.
I'd think a good cliffhanger would be when Romeo is banished from Verona and when he leaves and Juliet is watching him go.
She would most likely have a good education because her family is prestigious. If her parents would get a kinsman of the prince to marry her, surely they would give her the very best education.
I think they are the nurse and the friar Lawrence.The nurse doesn't tell Juliet's parents what's going on and acts as a messager between her and Romeo, even though she tries to convince her marrying Paris would be a good option. Friar Lawrence helps by agreeing to preform the wedding ceremony, helping Romeo once he gets banished, and coming up with the plan/giving Juliet the potion to help her avoid marrying Paris. Although it's his plan going wrong which causes the two lovers' tragic deaths, he does a lot to try to help them be together.there are actually 3 people who know about romeo and Juliet's relationship: the nurse, friar Laurence, and Romeo's servant balthasar.
Yes, they were.
In "Romeo and Juliet," Nurse is talking about Mercutio, Tybalt, Paris, and Romeo. Mercutio is Romeo's quick-witted and loyal friend, Tybalt is Juliet's aggressive cousin, Paris is Juliet's suitor chosen by her parents, and Romeo is the protagonist and falls in love with Juliet. Each of these characters plays a significant role in the tragic events that unfold in the play.
Its a good book.
The relationship between Juliet and her parents isn't very good because they ask her to marry Paris without considering her feelings. They also claim she's dead to them when she refuses to marry Paris
Hard to say, because she is not anyone's friend, unless you count Romeo. The Nurse is Juliet's friend but Juliet does not fill that role for the Nurse.

The bad thing about the society in Romeo and Juliet is that they are very warlike and are always fighting for no good reason.
Nobody. Juliet just fell in love with Romeo at a party.
I'd think a good cliffhanger would be when Romeo is banished from Verona and when he leaves and Juliet is watching him go.
Paris is described as a wealthy and noble young man who is polite, considerate, and respectful. He is seen as a suitable match for Juliet by her parents due to his social status and good reputation. However, he lacks the passion and connection that Juliet feels with Romeo.
Romeo often refers to Juliet as the light in his life that cuts through the darkness.
