In the play Juliet’s relationship with her mother is very formal and slightly distant throughout the play I get this felling that Juliet and her mothers relationship is thin and not as thick as a mother and a daughter should be a mother and daughter relation ship should be strongest of all a mother should be the one to teach their child how to make things like daisy chains and makeup these thing are a mothers responsibility Things that should have been done with her mother as a child that were not done, we also get this these scenes because she is always addressing her mother as things like your “ladyship” and “madam”. And it is these types of mother daughter things that build great relationships.
In the play we do not now much about Juliet’s and her fathers relationship but the sense we get is just as negative as her relationship with mother because she addresses her father as “my lord” children tend to get on better with their own sex even if they are family, mothers do much of their daughters upbringing and fathers do most of their sons upbringing
The expectations of the Capulet family toward their daughter Juliet dose not suit Juliet because Juliet doesn’t want to marry the man that she has been chosen for her she wants to marry for love she wants to pick her own lover I imagine that many teenage girls would agree with Juliet’s beliefs because many young women from the ages 12-13 didn’t want to get married because they felt that they were to young women
We no that getting married for Juliet she didn’t see it as such as a big deal because in act scene she doesn’t seem to bothered and I sense that she is only getting married because her mother wants her to as quoted “I’ll look to like, if looking liking move: But no more deep will I endart mine eye Than your consent gives strength to make it fly.”
Throughout the play we see Juliet grow up we see her bloom from a child to an independent young woman with determination and maturity in the start she dose what her parents says and then eventually she starts to bite back and starts putting forward her own opinions and when she starts showing her parents of her new found maturity they threaten to disown her
In conclusion to this essay I think that I have learnt and tried to put forward the point that there has always been conflict between parents and their teenage daughters and son and so there will continue to be conflict between teenagers and their parents
