Examine The Way Shakespeare Presents The Power And Control Capulet Exerts Within The Play

Shakespeare cl archean demonstrates that manufacturer Capulet is a very protective father. This is beca subroutine in Act 1 chance 2 Capulet says wannabe skirt of my earth In this iterate Shakespeare shows that Capulet is a loving and protective father because children died easily and the words hopeful lady means that Juliet was his simply hope , Juliet was very precious for him because she was his only child. Also in that commendation Shakespeare use flattering language.Lord Capulet was a responsible and protective father which the audience in those times rig as a typical father, however throughout the hightail it Capulet gives Juliet freedom to choose who she wants to marry which wasnt considered as normal in those days. My child is yet a stranger in the domain of a function This could imply that he does not feel ready about Juliet world married. The word stranger shows that shes candid and inexperienced. And that she hasnt been long equal in the world. Shakespeare s hows that Lord Capulet has the ultimate situation and give in his household.His power and bid is shown trough his relationship amidst his married woman, young lady and others members of his family. In act 1 scene 5 Capulet is presented as a kind and friendly man by starting his sentence grateful , gentlemans But as he goes along Shakespeare shows that he can be manipulative not only over his family. Ladies that wear their toes unplagud with corns pass on walk a bout you. This quote maybe is suggesting that hes manipulating woman. Also throughout the scene he says Am I the master here, or you? Go to.The language used here is possessive. Shakespeare uses rhetorical brain to show that Lord Capulet has control to tell mass what to do and authority over his family, overly hes foreshadowing the disasters that are soon to arrange. He uses imperative words. Paris asked Capulet to marry Juliet, not Juliet herself which was found normal for the audience, however it gives a sma ll place of evidence to support that he, being Juliets father had power over Juliets own decisions. Juliet alternates much than than either other character throughout the play.In act 1 scene 3 Juliet says But no more deep will I endart mine eyes Than your consent gives strength to make it strike down Juliet is being good by saying that shell do what her adverts tell her to do. The word consent suggests that she need her parents permission to do what she wants. But when she meets Romeo, she become more confident regarding the path of her life. Act 3 scene 5, Capulet tells her that she is to marry Paris, save instead of doing what he said she goes against her fathers will, I will not marry yet.And when I do, I swear it shall be Romeo This shows Juliet transformation throughout the play, she changes from an innocent obedient fille into a brave confident girl, this is because she confesses her love for Romeo to her parents. Lord Capulet expected Juliet to be bright with the condition with Paris because Juliet obeys him, and in those days fathers picked their daughters husband and they couldnt disagree with it they should be happy and thankful. Also Paris was rich, he was related to the Prince and good looking.Not proud you have, but thankful that you have In this quote Shakespeare uses flattering language. As the play goes on Juliet makes a number of important decisions, she travel in love with the enemy of her family, gets married, would be an embarrassment to her family, and finally bulge outs herself, this wasnt expected from a girl in those times, the audience might have been shocked with her acts in the play because the society expected daughter to obey their parents. Destiny is the most powerful theme of the play. This is because destiny controls the end result in Romeo and Juliets ill-fated union.This is evidence from the line A pair of star-crossd lovers take their life Shakespeare mentioned that Romeo and Juliet were star-crossd theyre desti ny to die. He foreshadows Juliet and Romeos finis. The prologue points out that Romeo and Juliet have fate against them. Is says that their love is death-marked and they have no control over what happens. Juliet tells Romeo of her vision of him dead at the bottom of a tomb. This is foreshadowing to the already destined essence these two lovers will soon face. Before Romeo enters the house of the Capulets, he speaks about an unknown danger abatement in the stars.The word star might suggest that tied(p)ts expected to occur being written in the stars, and explains how life is predetermined by fate. He says that he defies fate, by saying that he defies what is written in the stars. In act 5 scene 3 Romeo says Shall I swear That unsubstantial Death is amorous, Shakespeare used Oxymoron by saying Death is amorous to create an dramatic effect. Romeo refuses to accept that Juliet is dead. What Romeo does not realize is that he has no control over is destiny. No matter how angry or moti vated he is to change what is written in the stars, he cannot. It is already predetermined.Overall I feel that power and control of Capulet was critical in the development of the play because he certified to carry the feud amidst the Capulets and Montagues. However I imagine fate was the most important theme because it controls the end result in Romeo and Juliets ill-fated union, and no one can change destiny. From the beginning of the play Shakespeare uses foreshadowing to emphasise how important fate is. If it wasnt for destiny Romeo and Juliet wouldnt have met, married and therefore wouldnt have settled the dispute betwixt the Capulets and Montagues. Examine the way browning reveals power and control In My last DuchessMy last Duchess is about the instability of power and control between man and women. On the surface the poem is about a dominant possessive duke who killed her wife because she was too easily admired by others and blushed The Duke holds a sort of ownership ove r his wife. My last Duchess The title itself revels that the speaker, the Duke, is very possessive. The word my suggests that the Duke is very dominant and controlling. Browning used the voice of a possessive narrator, this might be because to show how completely he ruled over her. The quote The pallium drawn for you, but I shows that hes possessive and powerful.The pronoun I suggests self-importance. Nobody is allowed to touch the mantel but him. Furthermore, the Duke is presented as a controlling person the evidence for this is since none puts by The Duchess could be cover up talent him complete control thru the opening and closing of the curtain. Now he controls who chequers the picture, but he cannot control time and mortality. The narrator is presented as a commanding, powerful and jealous. At the beginner of the poem the narrator, the duke, is giving the ambassador of his second wife a tour of his artworks in his house. We can see this in the quote Willt please you sit and look at her?Really a command quite an than a forefront. Throughout the poem the narrator uses the pronoun My to show how dominant and possessive the Duke is. My exhibit This quote he used an arrogant tone, and the word my again shows ownership. Moreover on the poem we can he is gelid and powerful, the evidence for this is I gave commands Then all smiles stopped together. This quote might be telling us that the Duke is vague, and that he gave commands or orders to kill the Duchess. And foreshadows the Duchess death. Hes jealous that he cant even bring himself to talk to her about her behaviour murder is the only solution he can come up with.His jealousy isnt just about romantic attention its about any kind of attention. We know he is self-obsessed because of his repeated use of I. The narrator presents the Duchess as a happy, cheery and flirtatious. which has dis gay him. As the ambassador looks at the portrait of his late duchess he says Of joy into the Duchess cheek The Duch ess blushed easily. We could see this furthermore on the verses 23-24 she liked whateer She looked on. Hes jealous of the attention his wife shows to other, hes jealous of every smile and every blush that she gives.He claims she flirted with everyone and did not appreciate his gift of nine-hundred-years- old name. He describes her cheek as having a spot/ Of joy in it, perhaps a slight blush of pleasure joy. On the verse 14 he says her husbands presence only, This suggests that it wasnt just her husbands presence that made her smiled and blush in this way, although the Duke waits to believe that it should have been the only thing that would. From the beginner of the poem we might conclude that his wife was no hourlong alive. The evidence for this is as if she were alive.We immediately begin to suspect that the duchess is no longer alive, but left enough uncertainly to capture our attention as lectors. Thats my last Duchess painted on the wall In these lines, we are given our firs t hint that the duchess wasnt that important to the duke, suggesting that his late wife was nothing more than her external appearance. The word last is the evidence that she was dead. As his monologue continues, the reader realizes that the Duke in fact caused the Duchesss early end, when her behaviour escalated, he gave commands In the verses 46-47 he says There she stands As if alive.This is another evidence that the Duchess is no longer alive, Browning uses juxtaposition to create an effect on the reader. We might conclude that he had his wife killed because the final image of the expensive bronze statue , a metaphor Taming a sea-horse , thought a rarity, The Duchess is being tamed by someone powerful , the Duke , which killed her because of jealousy, and to show that he had power and control to do anything that pleased him. We never got to hear her point of view. Did she really disrespect his nine-hundred-years-old name as he claimed she did?What is your response to the pieces o f writings you have read? Make links between the ways the writers have considered and presented the theme. You will be perceive from us shortly , The enlist , Hawk roosting and My last duchess are all poems about power and control which we can link with the play Romeo and Juliet. Romeo and Juliet is a play about love, conflict, power and control. At the start of the play theres a fight between the Montagues and the Capulets, which later in the play results Romeo and Juliets early death.Whereas My last Duchess is about jealousy, selfishness, power and control, which also ends with death. In Romeo and Juliet power is presented in fate, love and parental control. As My last Duchess power is presented between man and women. Both of the poem and play uses commanding language and an imperative. In Romeo and Juliet power and control can have an effect in individuals, similar to the Duchess. Both of the play and poem we can see that power and control corrupts the end result of the main c haracters.This has an impact on the reader because we can realise that power and control has a devastating consequence. Lord Capulet and the Duke have a portion out of similarities. Both of them has power and control, but it is viewed in a different perspective. Capulet wanted the best for his daughter thats why he used his power and accidentally caused her death. As in My last Duchess the duke wanted to kill his wife because of jealousy and to show that hes wont let anyone disrespect him or unpleased him , and that the only way to show his power was to kill her.Shakespeare also presents the theme of power and control between Lord Capulet and members of his family. Act 1 scene 5 Shakespeare presents Capulets power within his relationship between Tybalt, he says Am I the master here, or you? Shakespeare might have used rhetorical question to show his power and commanding word. He uses the pronoun I to show that hes the one who controls what happens. Browning also uses the pronoun I frequently, this might be because to show how self-obsessed, selfish, powerful and narcissistic he is. Willt please you sit and look at her?This is really a commanding rather than a question which we can link with Lord Capulet being powerful and using rhetorical question. Romeo and Juliet and Hawk roosting both seem to be about power and control. Hawk roosting is about a dominant sell that feels superior. The poem shows the world as seen from a hawks point of view. The hawk seems very determined and powerful, the evidence for this is I sit in the top of the wood This can be taken two ways , literally he is positioned at the top of the wood, but also metaphorically he is at the top of the tree- at the top of the food chain.Shakespeare also presents the theme of power and control , but the difference is that he presents power and determination within Capulet. Am I the master here, or you? The language used here is dominant, also Shakespeare uses a rhetorical question to shows that Lord Capulet has power and authority to tell people what to do, similar to hawk roosting I am going to keep things like this here Browning shows that the Hawk is powerful and determinate, and that no one can challenge him and he has power to do anything without needing permission from anyone.Both of the poem and play use the pronoun I repeatedly which suggests self-importance and power. The techniques used in these quotes are dominant language, rhetorical questions and an imperative. The impact on the reader is that both the play and the poem show how people use their power to control. Friar Lawrence and the doctors in the poem The conscript have some similarities. Shakespeare presents the power of religion within Friar Lawrence. Whereas in the conscript power is shown by the doctors secularly.At the very beginning of the poem, the reader can realise that is about unsympathetic doctors. Indifferent, flippant, earnest, but all bored Here the poet is describing the doctors, from the w ord bored we can deduce that the doctors are not doing their rent out properly. Friar Lawrence uses his religious power to make serious decisions such as suggesting the idea that Juliet could fake her death to be unrestricted and be with Romeo afterwards. The Conscript uses the image of Jesus With arms outstretched and drooping thorn-crowned headman
