Romeo, by contrast, is a typical teenager. He probably loves his parents but does not give the relationship much thought or consider their feelings. As a typical teenager, he is self-involved.
B. Benvolio is Montague's nephew and a loyal friend to Romeo. Tybalt is the hotheaded nephew of Lady Capulet who is always ready for a right.
Juliet's parents care about her, but in the way that would have been typical ob
Elizabethan nobility. That is, Juliet loves her parents and respects them as a dutiful daughter should, but her relationship with her nurse is much closer. Since the nurse raised
Juliet, this is not surprising.
V. Relationships outside the immediate family are also important in Romeo and Juliet.
A.
Because of relatively short life expectancy in Elizabethan times as well as high infant mortality rates and mortality rates in general, extended families were not large. The play features several minor characters, men and women who are related in various ways to the Montagues and Capulets. Shakespeare's purpose in putting them in the play was to populate the houses of Montague and Capulet, thus underscoring the feud.
B.
VI. The family relationships change during the course of the play.
A. Juliet, at the beginning of the play, is girlish and subservient. She speaks formally to her parents and has a closer relationship to her nurse than to her own mother. Near the end of the play, Juliet becomes more womanly and more resolute in her own ideas. She feels betrayed by her nurse when the nurse tells her to forget Romeo and marry Paris. Juliet feels she is alone in the world but also capable of being along and making her own decision to marry.
B. With the death of the children, Montague and Capulet both realize the foolhardiness of the families' feud. The final handshake at the end of the play signals that the feud is over, although it took a terrible tragedy to effect the change of heart between the two men and the warring members of their families.

Curtis points out that the resistance against the
In the peer-reviewed article by Watkins, et al., the authors focus on the implications of and reasons for longer live spans between 1800 and 1980. Watkins asserts that notwithstanding higher divorce rates and "declining fertility," women in the 1960 to 1980 window of time "spent more years in marriage and as parents than did earlier generations" (Watkins, et al., 1987, p. 346). While Watkins offers a great deal of data
4). Even the members of Titus' family who do not go mad, particularly Lucius, resolve to take a double role. Just as Tamora assumed a persona of compliance with the Romans, so does Lucius. Lucius enacts a kind of 'doubling' of Tamora, for as Tamora went to the Romans, Lucius decides to go to the Goths. National alliances mean nothing now for the avenging Andronicii, both father and sons: But now
In terms of the definition for prejudice being a preconceived idea, that was indeed the case. Men, in that day and age, were far more protective of their property, in this instance their brides, than U.S. citizens are today. That's exactly right; men considered their wives as property.
