When Romeo first met Juliet it was love at first sight. “Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight!
For I ne’er true beauty till this night.” We know it is serious because Shakespeare has them share the religious language. They also talk about love and holly shrines and saints and prayers showing how serious it is. The duet between Romeo and Juliet is in sonnet form, the traditional poetry of love.
Romeo’s for love Juliet was serious love because this time he was talking to her and she was talking to him. He went to the Capulet’s house at night to see Juliet though he was risking getting killed by the Capulet.
Romeos love for his friends is really strong. When Mercutio wants to fight Tybalt Romeo tries to prevent them from fighting because he does not want his friend Mercutio to get hurt and he does not want to get into a fight with Tybalt because he is related to him because he has now married Juliet. But while Romeo was trying to stop the fight Tybalt stabbed Mercutio. Romeo blames himself for Mercutio’s death so takes his sword and fights Ttybalt to the death. Because of this Romeo finishes up being banished.
In Act 1 Scene 2 Paris comes to Capulet to ask him if he can marry Juliet but Capulet says that she is too young. Paris reminds him that younger people than Juliet have married. Than Capulet suggests a compromise. If Paris can win her over he will agree to the wedding. Capulet says to Paris that he will arrange a ball and will invite him so he can meet Juliet and then he can start being nice to her.
Capulet shows that he is concerned about his daughter when he tells Paris that
“But woo her, gentle Paris, get her heart, my will to her consent is but a part:”
Capulet says these words because he knows that his daughter has got a mind of her own and he respects this. Capulet changes his mind after all the killings happen, he wants his daughter to be safe and settled and agrees with Paris that they will be married within a week, but when Juliet says that she is not going to marry Paris Capulet threatens that he is going to drag her to the church. “But fettle your fine joints ‘gaints Thursday next, To go with Paris to Saint Peter’s Church, or I will drag thee on a hurdle thither.” This tells that Capulets love fro Juliet is a possessive love he has not considered her wishes.
Juliet’s love for Romeo was more serious than Romeo’s love for her, she was ready to marry him though she knew there were going to be lots of problems afterwards she could have said to Romeo to leave her alone after she found out he was Montague but she didn’t she ready to face any hard time that comes on her way. When Romeo got banished from Verona Juliet had to marry Paris so she took the risk and drunk the poison which made her seem dead, Juliet done all this j just because she wanted to be with Romeo though she knew she could die. When Romeo comes from Verona and enters the Church he sees the dead body of Juliet he finds out that their nothing to live for he love is dead. Romeo drinks the poison and dies, but few second later she wakes up and sees Romeo dead. So she gets a dagger and kills her self. This tells how much Juliet loved Romeo she was even ready to die for him though he is her enemy.
