Romeo and Juliet

Loyalty to Montagues

Divided loyalty or unattached

Loyalty to Capulets

Romeo- son of Montague and lady Montague, cousin of Benvolio and best friend to Mercutio. And he is a friend of Balthazar and married to Juliet.

Romeo is immature he thinks that he is in love with Rosaline, he shows that he is immature by staying away from people and being alone a lot, but is very quick to fall in love with Juliet. Romeo shows that he is passionate because at the end when he thinks that she has dies he then kills himself in order to be with her.

Friar Laurence- priest to the city that they all live in, and a good friend of Romeo’s.

Juliet- daughter of Capulet and lady Capulet, cousin to Tybalt. She has a nurse that looks after her (wet nurse), she becomes engaged to Paris. Married to Romeo.

Juliet is a very innocent young girl, we know this because we are told several times that she is not quite 14, her father says this because Paris wants to marry her. Juliet is also seen as resolute in the way that she wants to kill herself and she is determined not to marry Paris because she is already married too Romeo

Benvolio- cousin of Romeo and nephew to, Montague and Lady Montague.

Benvolio is seen as a peacekeeper because he doesn’t want to fight with Tybalt and in the film he wants people, to stop fighting and he says ‘keep the peace’ so this shows that he doesn’t want to fight all the time like Tybalt and Mercutio. Benvolio is also seen as very loyal because when Romeo’s parents ask him to see why Romeo is acting so weird and what is wrong with him he almost jumps at the chance to keep his aunt and uncle happy.
