There are many aspects of thier relationship that seem outrageous and some that seem realistic. When they fall in love so suddenly it is outrageous. When they get married so quickly it is outrageous. When they go behind thier parents wishes it is a little realistic but kind of outrageous because their families are total and complete enemies so the likelyhood of that relationship happening in that time period is probably on the outrageous side. If this story were present day then their relationship happening would probably be more realistic.
When we first learn about Romeo and Juliet's profound love for eachother the outrageous aspects come into play. When we find out that Juliet is at such a young age and already considering marriage that seems outrageous. " Let me be ta'en, let me be put to death."(3:5:17)Romeo compares his love for Juliet and the willingness he has for her is so extreme that he is willing to end his life just to be with her seems a little outlandish. The thought of two rivaled familes offspring falling deeply in love is one of the more realistic aspects of the play. Haven't you all heard the phrase oppisites attract.
Well, for one thing, they are utterly in love like doves, and Romeo (at the beginning) seems to think their relationship is fantastical. In Act II, scene ii, Romeo says, "As is a winged messenger of heaven unto the white-upturned wond'ring eyes of mortals that fall back to gaze on him when he bestrides the lazy-pacing clouds and sails upon the bosom of the air." Here, he seems to be in a trance or a dream caused by Juliet's beauty. But in some other ways, their relationship really is realistic. For instance, In Act III, scene ii, Juliet sticks up for her husband, Romeo, even though he killed her relative, because she loves him so much. "Blistered be thy tongue for such a wish! He was not born to shame. upon his brow shame is ashamed to sit;for 'tis a throne where honor may be crowned sole monarch of the universal earth. O what a beast was I to chide at him!" She knows that Tybalt would have killed him if he had not killed Tybalt, and he also avenged Mercutio. In relationships nowadays, I think many people would look for trust, understanding, and hope in others, just like Romeo and Juliet had in their relationship.
Love at first sight today seems so unrealilistic or outrageous but maybe back then it was realistic to see someone and just fall in love with them. Realistical features of their relationship is that they are teenagers who think they know everything and they are on top of the world as almost every teen does. They don't know evertything though and neither do we. They do know however that they like eachother alot and they have strong feelings for eachother.
There are many outrageous things about their relationship, such as how young they are. "Wert thou as young as I, Juliet thy love, An hour but married, Tybalt murdered..." (3.3.73-74) They were so young to be in love. But then again, that may have been the norm in that time. Also how they had only know each other for a very short time, and then decided to get married. However, since their families hate each other and would never allow them to be together, it is realistic that they secretly be married so there won't be conflict. I can understand why they rushed things and got married so quickly. Another outrageous thing was how they fell in love at first sight. They did not even know each others names! Eventhough Juliets parents do not like Romeo, Juliet is so in love with him and goes against what her parents feel and say about the situation. "Talk not to me, for I'll not speak a word. Do as thou wilt, for I have done with thee." (3.5.230-232) Lady Capulet is angry with Juliet and is shamed of her. Juliet will not listen to her parents, so her parents have now given up on her. Many people do this today, with not listening to their parents. I myself do it as well. This is a very common thing that is very realisic.
Many things are very outrageous in Romeo and Juliet. Their attraction for each other is somewhat realistic but also taken to the next level by their passionate attractiveness toward each other, but when they try to see each other again that is unrealistic. Romeo could have landed in prison when he went to the Capulet's house for the famous balcony scene to see Juliet. They hardly know each other and they are so in love and were all ready to wed each other was outrageous. They have only known each other for a very short time period and really were only attracted by physical appearance. Their marriage would have been rough. They hardly know each other and are so infatuated. Their relationship is shallow concerning their personalities. Many decisions that were made were brash. Their love was mostly outrageous.
Their relationship seems both outrageous and realistic. Young love is possible, but now, few get married at such a young age. Love at first sight is possible, but Juliet and Romeo's love seems to be a bit over the top. Juliet also doesn't mind the fact that she is unable to marry Romeo because of her family's feud with his family. "O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name, or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, and I’ll no longer be a Capulet." Like today, many people are willing to do anything for love, just like Juliet examples. Their love is strong, like most, and they truly seem to care about eachother.
The thing that seems the most outrageous in this play is how quickly Romeo and Juliet want to get married, they are way to quick getting into the relationship having only known each other for one night. In Act Two scene two line, 35 Juliet says "O Romeo , Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name! Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, And I'll no longer be a Capulet." Juliet seems too quick already thinking about marriage after knowing Romeo only a night. The thing that seems realistic in this play is the care and love they still feel for each other. When Romeo is banished from Verona, the newly weds become very distraught. In Act 3 scene five line 49 Romeo is saying his goodbyes to Juliet and proclaiming his love for her also. "Farewell! I will omit no opportunity That may convey my greetings, love to thee."
With Romeo and Juliet, there are many outrageous and realistic aspects in their relationships. One of the outrageous ones would be their decision to get married so quickly. This is an immature choice to get married so quickly. What is realistic is that the parents of two people could disagree of the choice. Another realistic aspect of their relationship is that they would rather die than be with someone else, if they were truly in love with each other. And I think it is realistic when they experience love at first sight. Because anyone can look at soemone and fall in love with them. But it is very outrageous that they love each other at so young of age. At that age, most people have not matured enough to the piont of loving someone.
