Relationships are not something that can be rushed. Relationships cannot be taken lightly either. They are important and should only be between people who truly like each other.

I think that the relationship between the nurse and juliet has gotten stronger than before.

anthony t said...

One comment might be that now days people dont get married within a couple days of meeting each other. and with the nurse i think that she is just jealous of juliet.

i have learned that relationships can be very complecated and that they can sometimes be secret for a good reson and tyhat relationships sometimes do more than help 2 people

Personally... I think Romeo and Juliet are taking things way WAY to fast. Theyve only known eachother for like 3 days and theyre already getting MARRIED... and Juliet is barely 14!!! I just think its dumb. because thats not how it works these days, like if you meet someone new, 3 days later youre not getting married... on a date? perhaps, marrage? not so much. i just think that the general idea of "relationships" has changes A LOT since this book was written.

i have found that true love can come in first sight. as in romeo and Juliet it was the perfect match except for the family hate between the to. love can find any one but love wont do all the work you have to help it find you. by finding love that will make your relationship twice as strong then any random couple.

There are many different relationships. Romeo and Juliet just met, and they already have plans to get married. Also, Friar Laurence and the Nurse and being loyal to Romeo and Juliet by not defying their love, and helping them get married, This helps build a strong relationship between everybody.

Friar Laurence has a good relationship with Romeo because he can talk to Romeo and he helps marry them together. The nurse and Juliet have an okay relationship because it said that Juliet was a nervous wreck while she was waiting for the nurse to come back, and she finally does and Juliet gets upset and the nurse tells her the wedding arrangements. Juliet and the nurse have a bad relationship in communication, but a good one because the nurse is helping Juliet by keeping the secret away from the rest of the family.

Even if you think you love someone it might not be true love. To me true love comes after a while of knowing that person. Everyone deserves a real chance at happiness but you can move to fast and sometimes that is the wrong thing to do.

In my Act II reader's log, I included a lot of things about relationships. Relationships become even stronger in Act II. The main relationship is between Romeo and Juliet. At the beginning of the act they express their love for each other and how they want to get married. By the end of the act they become married secretly by Friar Laurence. Only Friar Laurence and the Nurse know about their marriage. Some other relationships are between Romeo and Friar Laurence. Romeo trust him, and therefore goes to him to ask him to marry him. Also Romeo and the Nurse have to become closer and know each other better if him and Juliet are going to marry.

Romeo and Juliet's relationship is so strong that they can't bear to be apart this shown buy Juliet and the Nurse in scene 5.

BrittanyJ said...

I think that after Act II the story tells us that Romeo and Juliet have a very lustful relationship. In the end of this act they Romeo and Juliet get married. I think that this relationship went a little fast because in my understanding of the story it happened in a matter of a couple days. Knowing this I can't really tell what kind of relationship they have but I don't think that they know each other well enough to get married. Although in those days you could get an married without even knowing the man or women your getting married to so maybe in those days it was okay to get married in a few days of knowing someone.

Relationships in Act 2 are starting to build up. Romeo and Juliet are now married and Friar is keeping the secrets from their parents. The nurse and Juliet have bonded together by keeping the secret of the new marriage from her mother. There are very few people who know about the wedding and the love and fate between Romeo and Juliet and i think the people who are involved in this have become closer to each other.

Jason L said...

In the second Act of Romeo and Juliet the relationship between Juliet and the nurse has gotten stronger and they will agree and help each other for a long time. I have also leaned that relationships are strong and there is nothing that anyone can do to make them not work as long as the two people truly like each other.

meganl said...

I can't decide of Romeo and Juliet love each other enough to get married so quickly. Their relationship with each other has barely began. In my reading log I wrote that how that their relationship must be extremely strong to have this much love for each other. Friar Laurence must deeply trust Romeo since he agreed to marry them.

In relationships, your feelings can completely dominate your mental thought process and cloud your judgment. Love can make you do crazy things like get married after you have known your lover for about a day. These things tend to happen commonly with young people such as Romeo and Juliet. They are so deeply inhabited by their desires for each other along with their personal desires to get over a past love (Romeo) or to not be forced to love someone (Juliet).

Well there relationship has taken them to where they are practically married and now they are gonna have to tell there families and stuff. They haven't even been dating that long and they are gonna get married after a couple of days having them seeing each other. Well i have written that they are married and what not and that the nurse and another person knows that they have been secretly communicating

ErikaK said...

In Romeo and Juliet the relationships are very strong. Romeo and Juliet just meet and they are already married by the end of Act 2 scene 6. The Nurse and Juliet also have a very strong relationship, the nurse got necessary information to Juliet from Romeo con serening the wedding. Also Romeo has a very good relationship with Friar Laurence because Romeo told him first about Juliet. Both Romeo and Juliet do not have a good relationship with their parents/families because nether one of them have told their parents about their love for one another.

Kacie L said...

Juliet and the nurse are very close and have a good relationship. The nurse helps her by transferring conversations between her and Romeo. Juliet is anxious to hear what Romeo has said when the nurse gets back. The nurse takes advantage of the situation by joking around and wasting time to make Juliet wait even longer. Friar Laurence also has a good relationship with Romeo just like Juliet and the nurse. Friar Laurence is not only transferring conversations with Juliet for Romeo but he is also going to marry Romeo and Juliet.

What I can conclude is that love can be found any you are, but I believe you should get to know the person a little better and finding out if they are just right for you because you are going to be spending your whole life with them. What Romeo and Juliet did seems to be more fantasy for both of them to fall a in love with each other in 1 day and to decide to get married the next. But it also shows that people go through great extents to find true love.

jacksonader said...

Relationships need time, they are not something to be rushed threw. Relationships should be taken seriously, its nothing to be taken lightly. I think that the relationship between Romeo and Juliet was more of a fling,(and if they didn't die in the end, there relationship wouldn't have worked out).

MichaelL said...

Friar Laurence has a good relationship with Romeo since Friar is gonna marry Romeo and Juliet. Another relationship in this act is with the nurse and Juliet. The nurse basically raised Juliet and she shares the news and arrangements to get married with Juliet. Romeo and Juliet have a strong relationship but I think they are moving too fast. Romeo met Juliet twice and on the second night he proposed to her.

AJ.B said...

I believe that the relationships in the play are a little ridiculous, and some seem to reflect current friendships. Romeo and Juliet's story I could believe happened in a matter of weeks but not in around 24 hours. The nurse seems like a grandmotherly figure to Juliet, but more crude like a friend. Benvolio and Mercutio seem to hold the same type of friendliness that is used today between friends. They joke and tease and help each other and every once in a while they get in an argument. In all they seem normal besides Romeo and Juliet's because a relationship takes time to build.

tstarburst said...

a relationship to them is worth more than anything in the world. i have written about what is going on and what romeo and Juliet are doing to see each other.

wildernessexploror121 said...

Well there is the relationship between Romeo and Juliet; but there is also a relationship between the fryer and the nurse, though it is not a relationship of love, the nurse is to Juliet as the fryer is to Romeo, a person who they can confide their secrets in.

alexc said...

i think that relationships shouldn't be rushed like romeo and juliets relationship was because it always ends up badly. in act two i have contemplated why romeo and juliet can fall in love so fast.

Peyton M. said...

In my Act 2 reading log, i wrote about the relationships between Romeo and Juliet. It talks about how Romeo and Juliet are progressing in their relationship, although they have met only once before. In Act 2 scene 2 we see Romeo meeting at Juliet's window break, where the two of them make a commitment to being with each other, although that Juliet said not to swear upon anything but Romeo himself they do indeed end up getting married, and living "happily ever after" so they thought. The relationship between the two main characters makes no sense, depending on that they have only met once before this time, and that is where they kissed. Another relationship is between Juliet and her Nurse. Juliet seems to trust the Nurse with anything such as a teenage girl and her "BFF" but the two of them discuss everything in secret, so they don't talk about it in front of everyone which means Juliet must really trust the Nurse with all her heart. Those are just some of the many examples of the relationships between the characters in "Romeo and Juliet."

I think that Romeo and Juliet's relationship is moving at a fast tempo. It makes one wonder if they are really in love, or if Romeo is so heartbroken over Rosaline that he would accept anyone. The nurse is an interesting character. She is like a mother and an assistant to Juliet. She takes care of her and nurtures her like a mother and knows everything about her like an assistant is.

KymS said...

I think that Romeo and Juliet's relationship is a little ridiculous.They are planning to get married three days after they met and that to me seems extremely too fast, they need time to develop a relationship and they just rushed right into it. I don't think that it is true love, more of just a crush that they think is more.
