Relationships between teenagers and their parents are rarely boring. As adolescents begin to think and act independently, conflicts between them arise more frequently. This is not just a modern event; in the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, Juliet and her parents have very different points of view. In the play, she marries a man who is a member of a rival family without discussing it with her parents, which ultimately leads to her death due to the conflict that arises. He doesn't have much interaction with his parents throughout the show, but the minuscule amount shows the difference of opinion immensely. Juliet's limited interactions with her parents in the play show that she has a rebellious relationship with her parents shown by her time with Romeo. Juliet's relationship with her mother, Lady Capulet, is different from a normal mother-daughter relationship. At the time this play takes place, women did not have the same power to make family-related decisions. His part was not very prevalent throughout the play and served as an opposing force to Juliet and Romeo's desires. Throughout her life she was barely close to her son. During this time, it was common for a nurse to raise a newborn, so Juliet did not have a close relationship with her mother mainly because they were rarely together. When her mother tries to converse with her privately, she has no idea what to say because she has never spent time alone with her daughter. “That's the point. Nurse, let me go for a while, we need to talk in secret. Nurse, come again” (1.3.390). So, normally a teenager would talk to her mother about the problems she was having with her interpersonal relationships... middle of the paper... m, she did it in secret, only with her nurse and the Friar who married her to Romeo knowing it. This was very rebellious because it was customary for the father of the bride from a wealthy family to have an extravagant ceremony, especially since Juliet was his only daughter. So, Juliet's relationships with her parents were very rebellious in nature so that she could achieve her wishes. feelings towards the man she loved. These actions of his were not well thought out, because they ended up being his death. If she had listened to the wise advice and help her parents had provided, she would still have been in a good situation for the rest of her life. But she was a teenager and let her naive nature get the better of her, and this led her and her family to many misfortunes when they could have easily been avoided with a healthy relationship and more communication..
