Romeo and Juliet

The Capulets were like a money-mad family. Money always came first with the capulets when they should have paid more attention to Juliet’s wishes and in her best interests and should of taken her opinions into account. The Capulet family were far too hard on Juliet when she refused to marry Paris. Juliet’s happiness was not the main interest, as Juliet would marry into a rich family. The Capulets also had their two pence worth in the feuding “My sword, I say! Old Montague is come, and flourishes his blade in spite of me”.

The Montagues were very similar to the Capulets “Thou villain Capulet!” they were jointly responsible for the feud burning amongst the city. If both Lord and Lady Montague would have been a little more understanding towards Romeo, they might not of been in the situation where Romeo had to keep secrets from them “Both by myself and many other friends… But he, his own affections’ counsellor… Is to himself”

With both sides pressuring both Romeo and Juliet you can understand why the couple went and got married as soon as they could which happened to quite quickly which we are lead to believe to be about a week from when they fist met. Once again this quick act of marriage had many side effects, like most things. It meant Romeo and Juliet had to be extremely careful not to be caught because it would probably mean death.

The feud was constantly boiling until Romeo was hated and even wanted dead. If the feuding would have stopped, why it started we don’t actually no, then it would not of ended up with Romeo and Juliet taking their own lives to be happy. The death was a way of them being together, forever as they planned. Juliet knew the consequences she was facing if she was found out “My grave is like to be my wedding bed”
