Question

What consequences have Juliet's actions had for her relationship with her parents? Do her parents share any of the blame for this unfortunate outcome? Why, or why not?

a) Juliet's actions have strengthened her bond with her parents
b) Juliet's actions have caused a rift between her and her parents
c) Her parents are entirely to blame for the situation
d) Her parents bear no responsibility for the situation

Answer 1

Juliet's actions have caused a rift between her and her parents. Her decision to marry Romeo and run away leads to tragic consequences and a strained relationship. However, her parents also share some responsibility due to their strict rules and the ongoing family feud.

Step-by-step explanation:

Juliet's actions have caused a rift between her and her parents. When she secretly marries Romeo and chooses to be with him, she goes against her parents' wishes and their ongoing feud with Romeo's family, causing anger and disappointment from her parents.

While Juliet's actions contribute to the strained relationship with her parents, it would be unfair to solely blame them. The parents also play a role in the unfortunate outcome as their strict rules and expectations for Juliet's life contribute to her desire for secrecy and rebellion.
