Have you ever felt like you have been pressured in a situation against your will? In the story, Romeo and Juliet are in this situation. Both want to marry each other but Juliet's father is forcing her marry Paris, a show off with a lot of pride. Romeo on the other hand has been banished to Mantua for taking the life of Tybalt, a Capulet. Though in this situation, I have more sympathy for Juliet. I feel this way for her because she is being forced to marry someone she doesn't want to. When it comes to relationships you can't force love. Juliet likes Romeo but no one else has agreed to this relationship except Romeo, Friar Lawrence, and Nurse. A perfect example of  anger from Juliet for her forced marriage is when she snapped at Paris, "That may be, sir, when I may be a wife" (Shakespeare 228). Juliet is probably in the worst position because all of the drama she had to face. I can see how Romeo was just mad but Prince Escalus had already warned the Capulets and the Montegues to stop fighting. The fact that everyone cared and showed so much saddness over Tybalt's death only increased the chance of Romeo getting banished for this incident. Romeo and Juliet's relationship is slowly coming to an end. Will they find a solution, or will the forced decisions of Juliet's father have her married to Paris.

Post #4 Reaction of Nurse

To Friar Lawrence,


These Past couple of days have been painful with suspense. First, Romeo gets accused for a taking a life that he didn't. Then he gets banished from here. Oh, how I am outstanded that Romeo is banished from here, from Juliet. I have worked so hard to see them two get together and now it all doesn't matter or pay off because Romeo is banished. I do not know what will go on in the house of Capulet now that this relationship is gone. I honestly think Romeo wouldn't do anything to hurt someone like that because he is a lover not a fighter, a lover of Juliet. Who knows what Juliet will do, now that Capulet is making Juliet marry Paris.


I do not know what will happen with all of these shocking events going on, but I will write again once a conclusion is made. Hopefully a good one that I can stand. If you can help Juliet or Romeo, write back and we can arrange something.


Hoping For Luck,
Nurse

Romeo and his friends treat nurse disrespectfully. They do very mean things like looking at her underwear and getting all in her dress. They also lied and said very harsh things about her.These men, especially Romeo, wouldn't treat all women in Verona the same way like he treats Juliet like a princess. A perfect example of this is when Mercutio sings "An old hare hoar,
And an old hare hoar, Is very good meat in lent; But a hare that is a hoar Is too much to score, When it hoars ere it be spent."

This is a photo of someone being bullied. The girl that is being bullied is like nurse in this scene. The bully refers to Romeo and his friends.
