How does Romeo develop through out Romeo and Juliet Using quotes?

Answer 1

“Good Night, Good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow, that I shall say good night till it be morrow.”

Answer 2

At the start of the play, Juliet is a dutiful daughter who will do what her parents tell her to do. When she meets Romeo, she is already defying them as she is supposed to be looking at Paris to see if she could ever love him. Juliet then, despite knowing her family would hate it, secretly marries Romeo with the aid of her Nurse and Friar Lawrence. After her husband kills her cousin, she decides that she must stay loyal to her husband and grieves mostly for his banishment. This grief leads to her parents decision to marry her to Paris and she defies them. The Juliet at the start of the play would never have done this. Seeing no way out, she speak to Friar Lawrence and they hatch a plan involving her faking her own death. At the end of the play, rather than be without Romeo, she decides to kill herself which proves that she has grown up since the start as before she met him she would have never been brave enough to do that.

Romeo starts the play hopelessly in love with a woman who has no interest in him and is a more peaceful character as he dislikes his families feud with the Capulet's. However, after seeing Juliet, Romeo never mentions Rosalie again. He is also forced into a fight with Tybalt, resulting in Tybalt's death and Romeo's banishment because of his rash decision. His own death is also because of a rash decision as he acted before anybody had the chance to explain the plan to him and, had he waited a few more minutes, Juliet would have woken up.

Answer 3

Shakespeare takes R and J from strangers to puppy love, secret lovers, fiances to husband and wife in five acts. I think the biggest element here is the hatred the families have for one another. When they first meet at the party, their love is just about each other. When they discover they are spawns of their families' enemies...their relationship is suddenly about the long-standing familial resentment, and not just two people.

(Juliet's solliloquy in the balcony scene).

Specifically...some examples might be...

One example might be how when R and J meet at the party her father throws--first she sort of pushes him away and challenges him a little. Example, In Scene five, act one: he wants to kiss her, and she's says "...for saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch, and palm to palm is holy palmers kiss (she's arguing for religion, prayer and piety is better than kissing random guys). And he talks her into it, god love him.

Then, in the balcony scene, she's just heard that Romeo is a Montague. Her soliloquy is as girlish as a diary entry. She's talking about marrying him already despite how obviously their families would never aprove. "Deny thy father and refuse thy name, or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, and I'll no longer be a Capulet." At the end of their interaction, she keeps trying to break away because her nurse is calling her, and they keep drawing back to each other, just like when couples these days say "no you hang up, no YOU hang up...".

Act 2, scene 3...Juliet sends her nurse to talk to Romeo. Romeo leave his wild friends to talk to this old fish, which I think is another example of how his love for Juliet is changing. He blows off his friends at least twice (now, then before, when he leaves them to go scale Juliet's balcony...). The nurse accuses him of toying with Juliet "but let me tell ye, if ye should lead her to a fools paradise...a very gross behavior...", and he tells her flat-out that he's going to marry her tomorrow.

On another note, an obvious one is how (before the story begins) Romeo is infatuated with Rosealine. The Friar even asks him about her, and he's taken off guard and explains his love for Juliet instead.

Then finally, both aren't willing to live in a world without the other (whether the boundary is Mantua versus Verona or life versus death), and to wish to follow your lover into death is the most ultimate level of committment.

Answer 4

Romeo is Impulsive, to the point of being thoughtless, when he goes and off to kill Juliet's cousin Tybalt the day of marrying Juliet, it wasn't the brightest move because now he is banished from Verona. Slightly inconstant, Romeo is supposedly deeply "in love" with Rosalie the night of the ball, to the point where he's sitting around depressing his mates and saying he will never love another, and then a few moments later he's looking at Juliet and instantly falls in love again. He also has enormous freedoms compared to Juliet, being able to go off on his own without a nurse, while Juliet being a girl is far more restricted. This is why Juliet is: More of a dreamer, living life on a closed life opposed to active and social life. When she falls for Romeo, it is her first true love and only love, as opposed to Romeo teenage hormones having a say in things.

Juliet was obotient in the start of the play and now she got married behind her parents back and faked her death and refuses to marry paris

Answer 5

In Act 1 he is playing at being someone in love. He does not give two shakes for Rosaline. He is a selfish little boy. He never completely grows up (as his opting immediately for suicide shows), but he does show signs of being more and more aware of the consequences of his acts and their effects on others as the play goes on. Particularly touching are his attempts in Act 3 Scene 5 to console Juliet. "I doubt it not, and all these woes shall serve as sweet discourse in out times to come." This is Romeo the man talking.
