Theme: This quote represents the theme of love, and how only true love can heal a broken or grieving heart. Oh, I do miss that fool.Ĭlick below to take a quick survey about my reaction!Ĭontext: This is when Paris is talking to Friar Laurence about his plan to marry Juliet. Not is a time that Romeo, who is controlled by his emotions, would really be able to help. Paris and Capulet have no idea how to help someone deal with their emotions. Company may help a sore heart heal, but not when the company is being forced upon the griever, and is meant to force the person to forget instead of trying to understand. There is no clock when it comes to the heart. The heart needs time to grieve, and the mourning time can never be rushed or controlled. Little do they know she is already married, but even if she was crying over the death of Tybalt, rushing her into marriage would still be terribly wrong. Paris and Capulet are making a mistake by rushing Juliet into marriage. I always sensed disaster would strike because of such rushed love, and now look! Tybalt is dead, as well as my great friend Mercutio, and Romeo is exiled. I would reach out and give her a comforting hand if I could. I know she is not crying for Tybalt, but rather for brave, reckless Romeo, who she may never be able to see again. Now do you know the reason of this haste.” 4.1.6-15īenvolio’s POV: My heart aches for poor Juliet. That she do give her sorrow so much sway, “Immoderately she weeps for Tybalt’s death,Īnd therefore have I little talked of love,įor Venus smiles not in a house of tears. There was feuding and fighting, but at least it didn’t feel like we were being controlled. I wish that we could go back to the way things were before Romeo met Juliet. Did Mercutio really need to die? Did Tybalt need to die? It seems like no matter what we do, we end up in the same position of having to kill or be killed. I too, would like to defy the stars, whoever set this all up for us. It’s really unfair to me, to Juliet, to Romeo, who may be pretty impulsive but does mean to do good things. Sometimes I feel like someone is behind all of this, trying to ruin all of our lives, playing some kind of cruel game in which we are simply the pieces, the little pawns on the chess board. If only I were able to reach out to him and tell him the truth. Reaction: Oh, if only Romeo knew! It frustrates me so much that he doesn’t know that his Juliet is in fact alive, and I have to watch him in his pain and terror without being able to do anything about it.
