Romeo And Juliet- Family Flashcards
‘He shall not make me there a joyful bride!’
Shakespeare contradicts traditional views on family at the time, that the younger females must always obey authoritative male figures. This quote shows how headstrong juliet is. She is refusing her parents and says she won’t marry Paris.
The use of the ‘!’ Heightens Juliet’s emotions as she is shouting her refusal.
‘And you be be mine, I’ll give you to my friend; and if you be not, hang, beg, starve, die in the streets’ capulet
Conveying patriarchy to a graphic/ violent extent.
‘An so, good capulet, which name I tender as dearly as my own, be satisfied’
His love for juliet is extending to her family - shows how dramatically his love for juliet has changed him. He has gotten over his hatred for the capulets, so could possibly be Shakespeare’s way of suggesting that eventually love will over power hate.
Audience knows why, dramatic irony
Verb ‘tender’ connotes value, trying to avoid a fight.
