Depends on where you come from I suppose. If you come from a place where the idea of "honour killings" of female relatives who show disobedience and signs of independence is accepted, then perhaps you will agree with Egeus. Most people, including Shakespeare's original audiences, would not.

Why has egeus brought his daughter and two suitors to theseus?

Egeus is angry because Hermia refuses to obey his wishes on who she should marry. He has arranged a marriage between Demetrius and Hermia, but Hermia is not cooperating because she is in love with Lysander. It can also be argued that Egeus is angry not simply because of her disobedience, but also because she has actually fallen in love with someone else.


Is Romeo's behavior justified?

Romeo does so many things. Some of them are justified, some less so. Is he justified in being polite and reading the illiterate servant's guestlist when asked to do so? I'd say so.


What do you think might have happened if oberon had not interfered with the conflict among the four young people?

Lysander and Hermia would likely have got to Lysander's aunt's place outside the city, and have found a way to be married. Egeus would have been so angry that he would have talked Theseus into banishing them. Meanwhile Demetrius would have been frustrated and angry with tramping around the woods all night and have blamed Helena for the whole thing. Helena would have run off crying and have gone to a convent to become a nun. Demetrius would have become a crabby and abusive bachelor. Hippolyta would not have been impressed with Theseus's governing skills and would have murdered him shortly after their marriage. Lysander and Hermia, being banished from Athens, would have moved to Corinth or Thebes or some other Greek city, and become prosperous and happy. That's what I think anyway.

What does the price say shall happen to romeo in romeo and Juliet?
