        <description><![CDATA[As part of the theme of fate, the electrically charged meeting of Romeo and Juliet and the impetuousness of Romeo's actions underscore this theme.  The quitessential Romantic in love--as his very name suggests--Romeo wallows in self-woe until he sees Juliet.  That she is in the forbidden "camp" of the Capulets makes her all the more enticing.  That she is also so young, is also a forbidden attraction for Romeo.  Perhaps, as Benvolio has...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[In Scene 5 of Act IV of Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet," Friar Laurence arrives to marry Juliet, but he is told by Lord Capulet,

Death is my son-in-law,/Death is my heir;/My daughter he hath wedded:  I will die....my joys are buried. (IV,v, 41-67)

Knowing that Juliet is not truly dead, Friar Laurence nevertheless chides Lord Capulet by telling him that he and heaven both had a part in creating Juliet, and now heaven is claiming her:

        <description><![CDATA[When Romeo and Juliet first meet in the scene you mention, it is love at first sight.
When Romeo first spots Juliet, he forgets all about Rosaline.  He starts talking about how beautiful she is "a rich jewel in an Ethiope's ear" and how she stands out from all the other women in the room like " a snowy dove trooping among crows."  Finally he concludes that "I ne'er saw true beauty until tonight."  This is all pretty straight forward in...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[In the William Shakespeare play, Romeo and Juliet the young lovers didn't leave Verona because it wouldn't have worked. We saw earlier in the play how Capulet reacted to Juliet's disobedience. His reaction would have been much stronger if Juliet bailed out of an arranged marriage. As an influential man in Verona, this would have proved quite embarrassing for Capulet. In edition, there is no doubt that Paris had paid an acceptable dowry for the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Following his exile, Romeo says:

There is no world without Verona walls,But purgatory, torture, hell itself.Hence-banished is banish'd from the world,And world's exile is death: then banished,Is death mis-term'd: calling death banishment,Thou cutt'st my head off with a golden axe, And smilest upon the stroke that murders me.

Verona was, more or less, a city-state in 13th C. Europe, so to leave it was to immigrate to another country.  Exile...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Lord Capulet is, of course, Juliet's father.
His attitude toward her is somewhat contradictory.  At times it seems like he really cares about her feelings, but at others it seems like he only cares about himself.
Examples:
When Paris asks for Juliet's hand in marriage, her father implies that she will have to agree or else there would be no marriage.  This seems to show he cares for what she thinks.
On the other hand, Lord Capulet later...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Even before the play begins, hateful language (in bold) is established by the Chorus in the prologue:

From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.From forth the fatal loins of these two foesA pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life;Whole misadventured piteous overthrowsDo with their death bury their parents' strife.The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love,And the continuance of their parents'...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The idea of leaving their home city never occurred to them: it would have been unthinkable for the time that the play is set in. It wasn't simply a matter of moving away; it would be a complete loss of identity, support, and spirit--you were defined by where you lived. This was a very Shakespearean idea and appears throughout his work. Much as banishment was as worse as death later for Romeo, so would have been leaving the city, even together.]]></description>
