How Does Shakespeare’s ‘Romeo and Juliet’ Link to Different Poems?
In any the different texts that were studied, the themes of cacoethes & troth are ap heighten. In Shakespeares Play Romeo and Juliet, we get the characterisation that perhaps the nurse has more affection for Juliet compared to her actual parents. It was the nurse that brocaded and breastfed her. Her parents strikem to be quite remote and distanced and are more evoke in controlling her. However, we see their genuine affection for her when they are grief-stricken after they discover Juliets death. In Catrin, like the Capulets, we can see the mother, Gillian Clarke attempting to control her missy.But this is not a significant confrontation just a petty dispute in which the mother recognises that conflict will of all time be a part of mother/daughter relationships. This can be seen in What has Happened to Lulu, where the confrontation between mother and daughter has escalated to the point where the daughter felt she must leave. Similarly, in the metrical composition, A frosty N ight, Alice is angry as her mothers love is controlling and smothering. The texts suggest that relationships are not always healthy between parents and daughters.The structure of Romeo and Juliet takes the form of a tralatitious floor with the developing problem of Juliets arranged marriage stretch a climax with her death then a resolution of the feuding families reconciling. In Catrin, the classical structure is abandoned and replaced with a more complex narrative beginning with a flashback. It is the only at the end where we understand their conflict. In A Frosty Night and What has happened to Lulu? We see a more customsal structure with the story unfolding in a chronological way.However, what is interesting ab knocked out(p) the twentieth century texts is that none of them are mulish at the end unlike Romeo and Juliet. Shakespeares play is quite equal A Frosty Night as the conflict is revealed through with(predicate) converse while in Catrin and What Has Happened to Lulu the narrative is conveyed through the first person. The fond and historical contexts of the texts are marked differently. Romeo and Juliet was written in the late sixteenth century while the other poems were written in the modern day and, therefore, reflects the attitudes and values of their times.In Romeo and Juliet, unlike today, children werent expected to question the authority of their parents. Moreover, it was the tradition for parents to arrange their childrens marriage and sometimes leads to heavy conflict. This is evident in Shakespeares play and ultimately leads to the death of two children. In all the poems, the conflict in a parent-child relationship isnt as serious as in Romeo and Juliet. While Alice and Lulu felt restricted and encumber by their mothers they could at least have acted more assertive with their parents and withal leave home as Lulus disappearance was.In Catrin, the conflict is of a trivial nature which would make occurrence in well-nigh families. D espite their apparent differences, what is remarkable is that parent/child conflict has persisted through time and therefore it is possible to understand the confrontation between Juliet and her parents even though it was written over four cytosine years ago. In all the texts, powerful emotive language is illustrated. In Romeo and Juliet, we see Old Capulet verbally attacks Juliet in an aggressive and threatening manner, diminish thee, Young BaggageDisobedient Wretch he screams. While in Catrin, Clarke uses the powerful metaphor tight red rope of love which we both fought over. In A Frosty Night, Robert Graves ends the poem and the mother/daughter conversation with Alice shouting, Mother let me go. Also, in What Has Happened to Lulu the younger sibling reveals I heard someone cry, in anger or in pain. Perhaps it is not impress that emotive language is employed after all the poems are borne out of love.
