Act 3 Scene 5: Juliet is forced to marry Paris

This picture represents the lack of freedom Juliet has. She is being forced to marry Paris against her will, as represented by this picture showing shackling and loss of freedom.

Act 2 sc 2: Won't define you

       Act 2. Sc. 2 Juliet say's"What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would be sweet."
This quote shows how a name does not define who you are as a person. In these terms Juliet is referring to her Capulet name, which is so controversial to Romeo. It is most true that it doesn't show that she needs the name, that it gives her a purpose. It doesn't. She can be whatever she wants to be with out being a Capulet.

Act 3, Scene 5: A Father Daughter Brawl

PROMPT E

In Act 3, Scene 5 Juliet is reminded of her arranged marriage with Paris, a handsome and connected gentleman that was chosen by her family. She refuses, saying she does not want to be married with him. Juliet and her father have an interesting relationship. Before this scene, we have seen Lord Capulet as a calm, pleasant father, until he hears from Juliet how she really feels about the wedding. Lord Capulet is furious, and explodes towards his daughter, threatening to kick her out of the house, and drag her to the wedding himself when he says,

• "Thank me no thankings, nor proud me no prouds,
But fettle your fine joints 'gainst Thursday next

To go with Paris to Saint Peter's Church,
Or I will drag thee on a hurdle thither.
Out, you green-sickness carrion! Out, you baggage!

You tallow-face!"
She replies, 
"Good father, I beseech you on my knees,
Hear me with patience but to speak a word."
Juliet and her father have a dominant relationship. Lord Capulet is very strict, and still treats Juliet like a child, and does not let her make her decisions. Juliet greatly respects her father, and does not want to upset him, however her love for Romeo is too strong. Lord Capulet is very dominant and harsh towards Juliet, while she wishes not to disappoint him, and is greatly effected by his sayings. 

Act 2, sc. 2: Juliet's love sacrifice

                                                        Juliet's love sacrifice

Act 2 sc 2 Juliet says, "O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse my name; Or if thou wilt not, sworn my love and I no longer be a Capulet." This line shows that Juliet will really do anything, just to be with Romeo. whether it's leaving from home, she'd even refuse her own name. I thinks really sad that she won't be able to get him in the end. She was doing just fine before he came along. Now she's forced to go to extreme measures for her loyal  love.

Act 3 Scene 5: Juliet's Disobedience

Prompt A:
 In Act 3, Scene 5, Juliet and her father disagree about marriage which causes Lord Capulet to get very mad. Lord capulet has set up a marriage between Juliet and Paris, but Juliet does not want to get married. This causes her father to yell at her for not being appreciative. This reminds me of what my sister did with my dad a couple weeks ago. My Dad planned for our whole family to go out to dinner, yet my sister wanted to go out with friends. My sister argued with my dad for a long time about not having to go. Eventually, my dad got very mad and he started yelling at my sister for not appreciating her family. He then said that she needed to go to dinner, and that he did not want to hear any more arguing from her for the rest of the night.

Act 3. Scene 5. Juliet and her Parents

Throughout the whole story Juliet has a controversial relationship with her parents.  This controversy comes up very often mainly in Act 3.  The issue that all the disagreement revolves around is her love for Romeo.  Juliet's parents want her to marry Paris.  They believe that she does not belong with Romeo and they do not consider her feelings.  Juliet has her mind set on marrying and being with Romeo and going against her parent's wishes which does not allow them to have a peaceful relationship.

Act 3 Scene 5 Romeo's Flight Prompt E

The relationship between Romeo and Juliet is obviously a very close and intimate one.  However, this scene shows that their relationship also has many dimensions.  For example, Juliet tells Romeo, "Art thou gone so? Love, lord, ay husband, friend!"  This multi-faceted relationship produces interesting dynamics, showing how such a relationship may be an asset as well as a burden.  In the beginning of the scene, Juliet tries to prevent Romeo from leaving.  Juliet's obsession with Romeo as the object of her love could end up endangering Romeo.  However, Juliet lets go of Romeo and distances herself, acting instead as a "friend".  She tells Romeo to leave, otherwise he will be killed.
