Post Five: Anger would Strike

I see the character Juliet as a fairy tale princess. She is wealthy, has all the beautiful gowns, and her husband is the most handsome man. She seems to fit in with all the other princess; also Juliet’s life has a twist. Her love with her husband is forbidden, and has to be kept as a secret. Both parents do not known about there love, so they arranged a wedding for Juliet and another handsome young man, Paris.

Both the Capulet and the Montague want there children to marry well. The parent would have never imaged there children would be marriage to each other. When Juliet explained a little of how she thought of Romeo she was told


                             "Hang thee, young baggage! Disobedient wretch!
                             I tell thee what: get thee to church o' Thursday, or never look
                             me in the face. Speak not, reply not, do not answer me!
                             My fingers itch. Wife, we scarce though us blest that God had

    lent us but this only child; but now I see this one is one too much
and that we have a curse in having her. Out on her, hilding!"

From this we can tell that lord Capulet is very upset with Juliet so upset that he was beating her (Shakespeare 214).  Can you imagine what would happen to Juliet if she was to that she was already married? I think that they would no longer treat Juliet as there daughter. Or they might even make her marry Paris still because they don't wont her in there house. I feel that the Montagues would act in the same way. Both Romeo and Juliet betrayed the re family.

If there marriage secret was told I think the parents would be in a rage! There would be yelling, screaming, slapping and punching. Maybe the families would go to the prince and ask there to be punishments. From reading the book I think that Juliet’s parents care more about whom there children is with. Although no matter how mad they are Romeo and Juliet will remain in love.



 
Lord Capulet is very upset with Juliet.

I think if the truth was told there would be lots of flighting between the familys.

  1. Good, detailed response Courtney! You provided a lot of support for your opinion. There are some minor MUGS issues (they're vs. there vs. their). Also, in terms of parenthetical citation, make sure you are putting the citation at the end of the sentence in which you place the quote. For block quotation, it would go after the quote, but before the period. See me so I can show you!
