House of Escalus
Pangeran Escalus
Prince Escalus, Count of Verona, was the desperate determinant of the warring family. He was based on the real Scaligeri family who ruled Verona, probably at Bartolomeo I. Escalus was the voice of authority in Verona. He appears only three times in the text and only to organize justice after a major event in the hostilities between the Capulet and Montague families. He first punished Capulet and Montague for a fight between Tybalt, Benvolio, and several servants. He came back late to stop a fatal fight between Tybalt and Mercutio and, later, Tybalt and Romeo. Escalus prepares to execute Romeo for his offense - Romeo kills Tybalt - but enlightens the penalty for the lifetime exile from Verona, when Benvolio insists that Tybalt initiate a fight with the murder of Mercutio, a relative to the prince. He shouts at Lord Montague for engaging in enmity, which is really the root cause that causes Tybalt to kill Mercutio. Prince Escalus returns in the final scene - V.iii - following the double suicide of Romeo and Juliet, and finally declares Lords Montague and Capulet guilty of the deaths of Romeo and Juliet, and angrily tells them that their useless dispute resulted in the death of not only the man which they loved themselves (Lady Montague, Romeo, Juliet, and Tybalt), but also in the deaths of Escalus's beloved ones (Mercutio and Paris). He condemns the animosity that killed Romeo and Juliet that he really felt sad, just before the Lords came to make peace with each other. In the end, Prince Escalus became very happy that the feud was finally over, even if at a high price, because it ended too late.
Calculate Paris
Count Paris is a relative of Prince Escalus and is trying to marry Juliet. He is portrayed as handsome, somewhat selfish, and very rich.
Paris made her first appearance in Act I, Scene II, where she expressed her desire to make Juliet the wife and mother of her children. Capulet mocks, citing her young daughter's age as an excuse and tells her to wait until she is older. (Paris disagreed, but Capulet invited Paris to attend a family party that night and gave permission to seduce and withdraw Juliet, but later, in the drama, Juliet refused to be a "bridal bride" after her cousin Tybalt died by her husband the new, hand of Romeo, who declares that he now does not want to deal with Paris, his parents threaten to deny (or break with him) if he will not approve of the marriage.Later, while in Laurence's cell in the church, Paris tries to seduced him by repeatedly saying that he was a wife and that they would get married on Thursday.He kissed her and then left the cell, prompting Juliet angrily threatening to kill herself with a knife.The last appearance in the drama was at the grave where Juliet was "buried" at the Capulet family tomb.It believes he will die, Count Paris has come to mer atapi his death in solitude and privacy and send his servant away. She confessed her love to Juliet, saying she would every night cry for her (Act V, Scene III). Soon, Romeo arrived. Paris sees him and thinks he's trying to ruin the grave, so he tries to catch it. They fought, and Romeo killed Paris. Romeo gave Paris the dying wish to be placed next to Juliet at the tomb.
Mercutio
Mercutio is the cousin of Prince Escalus and Prince of Paris, and is a close friend of Romeo and his cousin Benvolio. He supported and fought on the Montague side of hostilities, and, like Montague, hated the Capulet family. The invitation to the Capulet party reveals that he has a brother named Valentine. Mercutio tends to make long and protracted speeches (most notably the speech of Queen Mab), and is generally considered reckless, a clown, and free spirit. Because of his reckless and flamboyant personality, Mercutio is one of Shakespeare's most popular characters. Mercutio was the instigator of many fights with his rather cruel humor, and often insulted Tybalt, a famous warrior. It is Tybalt's nature that caused the death of Mercutio, and Romeo's exile and the tragedy that followed.
After Romeo received death threats from Tybalt, Mercutio expects Romeo to engage Tybalt in a duel. However, Romeo refuses to fight Tybalt, since Tybalt is Juliet's cousin and therefore her brother. Not knowing this, Mercutio was angry, and decided against Tybalt himself. Romeo, not wanting his friend or relative injured, intervened, causing Mercutio to be killed by Tybalt who poked under Romeo's arm.
Before he died, Mercutio threw "a plague o 'both your houses!" He made one final punishment before he died: "Ask me tomorrow, and you'll find me a grave man". In retaliation for the murder of his best friend, Romeo kills Tybalt, thus causing Romeo's exile from Verona and an increasingly tragic turn of events that ensues.
Page to Paris
Another page accompanies Paris to the Capulet basement when he goes to mourn Juliet. He was on guard when Paris came in, told to "whistle later to me,/As a signal that you heard something approaching". When Romeo and Paris are involved in a fight, the page will go to call Watch. He returned with a late Watch to stop the commotion and then witness the intentions of the Prince of Paris.
Maps Characters in Romeo and Juliet
House of Capulet
The Capulet family (in Italian, "Capuleti") in the drama is named after the actual political faction of the 13th century. In particular, the Capulet family is often described as a 'bad' party, because many conflicts are caused by them. They are also more developed, as more attention is given to their family life.
Lord Capulet
Lord Capulet is the patriarch of the Capulet family, Juliet's father, and Tybalt's uncle. He is very rich. He sometimes reigns but is also friendly, as in the ball: when Tybalt tries to duel with Romeo, Capulet tries to calm him down and then threatens to throw him out of the family if he does not control his emotions; he did the same to his daughter later in the drama.
Capulet is sure he knows what's best for Juliet. She says her approval for marriage depends on what she wants and tells Count Paris that if she wants to marry Juliet, she'll have to wait a while and then ask her. However, later, when Juliet grieves over Romeo's departure, Capulet thinks his sorrow is due to Tybalt's death, and in a wrong attempt to comfort him, he wants to surprise her by arranging a marriage between her and the Prince of Paris. His catch is that he must be "ordered" by his father and accept the proposal. When he refused to be Paris's "happy bride", saying that he could "never be proud of what he hated", Capulet became angry; threatening to make him a street child; calling him "foreclosure", "unworthy", "young baggage", "disobedient harm," "dead carcass" and "fat face"; and says that God's gift to Juliet is a "curse" and he now realizes that he and his wife had one child too much when Juliet was born (in the previous poem The Tragical History of Romeus and Juliet). In addition to threatening to expel him, he threatened to punish him for rotting in prison if he did not obey his parent's orders. He then storms away, and his wife also refuses Juliet before following her. He fixed the wedding day for Thursday and suddenly advanced it until Wednesday because of anger and impulse. Her actions indicate that her daughter's wishes are irrelevant to the point when she sees her unconscious in her bed (possibly dead) and then, when she actually dies during the last scene of the drama. It was he who asked Lord Montague for his hand to end the hostility between their families.
Lady Capulet
Capulet's wife is the mother of the Capulet family and Juliet's mother. He plays a larger role than Montague's wife, appearing in several scenes. In Act 1, Scene 3, she talks to Juliet about her daughter's marriage and Paris, we see this when she compares it to a book, and Juliet is the cover. However, in Scene four, he was delighted about Count 's interest in his daughter. When Tybalt was killed in Act 3, he expressed extreme sadness and a strong desire to take revenge on Romeo in the hope of death upon him. In Act 3, Scene 5, she became very angry with Juliet for refusing to marry Paris and coldly refused, saying: "Talk not with me, because I will not speak a word, do as you wish, because I'm done with you". By the last act, he was almost overcome by the tragic events of the drama, where the mourning mother came out. We know Juliet's mother gave birth to her first child when she was 14, Juliet, and her husband years older than him. Calling her "Lady Capulet" is a modern addition; it is an echo of the Juliet address form at 3.5.65: "my mother is female". In the first text, the direction of the stage and the title of the speech can be "mother", "wife", or even "old lady", but no "Lady Capulet".
Juliet
Juliet Capulet, female protagonist, is Capulet's only daughter, the Capulet family patriarch. As a child he was treated by Nurse, who is now his believer.
Juliet died at the end of the drama, and the sacred lovers reunited in the same bed. Both of their families realized what they had done by trying to separate the beloved star by the effect that Capulets and Montagues were reuniting and their battle was over.
Tybalt
Tybalt is the son of Lady Capulet's brother and Juliet's first hot-headed cousin. As a skilled swordsman, he serves as the main antagonist of the story. Tybalt was furious by the humiliation of the uninvited presence of Romeo and Benvolio in the ball at Capulets' home. Tybalt shares the same name with Tibert/Tybalt the "Prince of Cats" character on Reynard the Fox, a point of mockery and praise to her in the drama. While Mercutio repeatedly calls Tybalt "Prince of Cats" (referring to the speed and agility of Tybalt with the sword), Mercutio also insults Tybalt - the phrase refers not only to Reynard but also to the Italian cazzo (.cat -jadi) which means "penis."
Tybalt was first seen coming to help his servants who were attacked by Montague's servants. He was also present at the Capulet party in action one, scene five and was the first to recognize Romeo. His last appearance was in scene 3 scene 1, where Mercutio insulted Tybalt and eventually fought with him. Tybalt killed Mercutio and, in retaliation, Romeo went berserk and killed Tybalt, resulting in Romeo's expulsion.
Nurse
The nurse is the main character in the drama, and like Friar he is a neutral character. There is speculation about his name, as Capulet calls it "Angelica", but the line can be directed to the Lady nurse or Capulet. He is a personal butler (and a former nurse) from Juliet. As the main person who raised Juliet, she was Juliet's believer and more effective as a mother to the girl than Lady Capulet. She's also the one who nursed Juliet since childhood.
Peter
Peter is a nurse's personal butler. He seems to be a faithful servant, always quick to obey the Nurse. He was punished for not fighting Mercutio for the nurse's honor, but insisted that he "does not see a man using you pleasure; if I have,/my weapon must get out". He reappears in the fourth round, scene five in a short comic relief scene with a number of musicians.
Gregory and Sampson
Gregory and Sampson are servants of Capulet. Gregory initially hesitated to start a fight. Sampson, however, bit his thumb at Abram, "Which is a shame for them, if they endure it". The Montagues replied in earnest. Benvolio arrives to break the fight but ends up fighting with Tybalt. Both Gregory and Sampson seem to be friends with master Tybalt.
In the opening scene, the two engage in a dialogue filled with the words "coal" and "eye", each intending to defeat the other and prepare each other against Montagues. The rhetorical form is called stychomythia, in which the characters participate in a brief and quick exchange of one-on-one. Their discussion and fighting in this scene set the stage for competition and hatred that fills the rest of the drama.
Anthony, Potpan, Anonymous waiter
Anthony, Potpan, and two other waitresses to the Capulet family played a short comic scene in action one, scene five, arguing about preparations for the Capulet party. The Capulet's servant is referenced again in round four, the first scene; Capulet commands them to start preparations for another party: Juliet and Paris weddings.
Servant for Capulet
A waiter to Capulet was sent to send a party invitation to a number of nobles and friends to Capulet. As he walked, he went to Romeo and Benvolio and asked them to read the list for him, because he could not read. As a thank you, he invites the children to "come and destroy a cup of wine," without realizing that they are the Montagues. This character may be intended to be the same as Peter, and is usually identified in scripts either as Peter or as Clown.
Old Capulet
Old Capulet is Capulet's cousin. He appears as a parent sitting with Capulet at the party.
House House of Montague
The Montague family (in Italian, "Montecchi") is a true political faction of the 13th century. The Montagues are generally described as 'better' than the two families, as they do not seem to provoke fights and are often found trying to avoid fighting whenever they can, and are sometimes found trying to block the fighters from returning to peace.
Lord Montague
Father of Romeo. Presumably, he's also rich, and always at odds with Capulet. Montague clearly loves his son deeply and at the beginning of the drama, anxiety for him when he tells Benvolio his efforts to find out the source of his depression. He wished Benvolio was luckier. After Romeo kills Tybalt, Montague pleads with the Prince to keep him from execution because Romeo only does what the law will do, as Tybalt kills Mercutio. He reappears at the end of the drama to bemoan Romeo, having lost his wife out of sorrow.
Lady Montague
Montague's wife was Montague's headmistress, and mother of Romeo and Benvolio aunt. He appeared twice in the play: in the first half, the first scene he held Montague from entering the quarrel itself, and then spoke with Benvolio about the same quarrel. She returns with her husband and Prince in acting three, scene one to see what the problem is, and whether there is information about Romeo's exile. He died of grief outside the stage immediately after (mentioned in round five). He was very protective of his son Romeo and was delighted when Benvolio told him that Romeo was not involved in a fight that took place between Capulets and Montagues. However, Romeo did not feel very close to him because he could not ask his advice. Just like Capulet's wife, calling her "Lady Montague" is the next discovery unsupported by the earliest texts.
Romeo
At the beginning of the game, Romeo dwells for unrequited love, Rosaline. To cheer him up, his cousin and friend Benvolio and Mercutio took him to the undercover Capulets celebration, where he met and fell in love with his only daughter Capulets, Juliet. That night, she and Juliet met secretly and promised to get married, despite their old family feud. They were married the next day, but their union was soon thrown into chaos by their families; Juliet's cousin Tybalt dueted and killed his friend Romeo, Mercutio, throwing Romeo into anger so he killed Tybalt, and the Prince of Verona drove him away. Meanwhile, Juliet's father plans to marry her to Paris, a local nobleman, in the next few days, threatening to turn her on the streets if she does not follow through. Desperately, Juliet pleads for Romeo's trust, Friar Laurence, to help her escape forced marriage. Laurence did it by giving her a potion that put her in a coma like death. The plan worked, but it was too soon for Romeo to learn it; he really believed that Juliet would die, and decided to commit suicide, by drinking a bottle of poison (bought illegally from the Pharmacist after hearing the news of Juliet's "death"). Romeo's last words were "So with a kiss I die". He killed himself in Juliet's grave, moments before he woke up; he committed suicide in his turn soon afterwards.
Benvolio
She's Montague's nephew and Romeo's cousin. Benvolio and Romeo are good friends of Mercutio, a relative of the Escalus Prince. Benvolio seems to have little sympathy with the feud, trying unsuccessfully to retreat from the fight with Tybalt, and a duel that ends with the deaths of Mercutio and Tybalt. Benvolio spends most of the Act I try to distract his cousin from his madness with Rosaline, but after Mercutio's first appearance in I.iv, he and Mercutio become closer parallel to III.i. In the scene, he drags the severely wounded Mercutio outside the pulpit, before returning to inform Romeo about the deaths of Mercutio and Prince from the path of the deaths of Mercutio and Tybalt. Benvolio subsequently disappeared from the drama (though, as Montague, he could implicitly be included in the stage directions in the last scene "God's Entrance Montague and the others", and he sometimes doubles with Balthasar). Although he eventually disappears from the drama without much notice, he is an important character if only because he is the only child of a new generation of both families to survive the drama (like Romeo, Juliet, Paris, Mercutio, and Tybalt dead).
Balthasar
Balthasar is Romeo's trusted and trusted friend. They had a brotherly relationship, identified when Balthasar told Romeo that Juliet was "dead." Although he was not directly referenced in the first scene of the drama, the landing summoned Montague's two maids to quarrel with Sampson and Gregory. He then returns in Act V Scene 1 telling Romeo about Juliet's death. Then Friar Laurence passes Balthasar and asks where Romeo is. Balthasar told him that he was inside the tomb. Then the Prince calls him and asks him why he is there. He gave the Prince a letter explaining why Juliet committed suicide.
Abram
Abram is Montague's housekeeper. He appears in Act 1, Scene 1, where he and another minister (probably Balthasar) provoked into a quarrel with Gregory and Sampson when the latter bit his thumb on them.
Other characters
Friar Lawrence
Friar Lawrence acts as mentor and mentor for Romeo, along with assisting in the development of a major plot.
Alone, the innocent Friar gives us a shadow with his soliloquy about plants and their similarity to humans. When Romeo requested that Friar marry her off to Juliet, he was shocked, because only a few days earlier, Romeo was infatuated with Rosaline, a woman who did not return his love. Nevertheless, Friar Lawrence decided to marry Romeo and Juliet in an effort to end the civil feud between Capulets and the Montagues.
When Romeo is banished and escapes to Mantua to kill Tybalt (who had previously killed Mercutio), he tries to help the two lovers back together using fake potions to forge Juliet's death. Friar's letter to Romeo was not up to him because the Mantua people suspected the messenger came from a house where the plague was in power, and Friar could not arrive at the Capulet monument in time. Romeo killed Count Paris, whom he found crying near Juliet's corpse, then committed suicide, drinking the poison he bought from a poor apothecary, for what he thought was Juliet's body. Friar Lawrence arrived just as Juliet awakened from her chemical-induced sleep. He urges Juliet not to be reckless, and joins the nuns, but he hears a voice from outside and then runs away from the tomb. Juliet then committed suicide with Romeo's dagger, completing the tragedy. Friar is forced to return to the tomb, where he tells the whole story to Prince Escalus, and all Montagues and Capulets. When he finished, the prince stated, "We still know you as a saint".
Friar John
Friar John called at the door of Friar Laurence, "Brother Franciscan monk!" (5.2.1). Friar Laurence came out and immediately asked about Romeo: "Welcome from Mantua! What's Romeo?" Or, or, if his mind is written, give me his letter "(5.2.3-4). Friar John explains that he is looking for another monk to be accompanied and finds him in a house where he visits the sick, where the health authorities, afraid of pestilence at home, limit the two monks at home so they will not infect others. The authorities did not even allow Friar John to use a messenger to send the letter back to Friar Laurence.
Choir
A Chorus gave the opening of the prologue and one other speech, both in the form of Shakespeare sonnets.
Chorus is the most known character. It appears at the top of the drama to fill the audience on the ancient quarrel between, "Two households, both in dignity/In fair Verona, where we put our scene". It returns as a prologue to act two to mark the tragic turn of events that will overrule the new romance between the title character.
Chorus only appears in Quarto version, not in First Folio.
Pharmacist
Apothecary is a pharmacist in Mantua who reluctantly sells Romeo's poison, simply because he is poor and also desperately in need of financial support.
Watchmen
The Watch of Verona takes the form of three guards. Watch First seems to be the police, who ordered the Second and Third to "search in the church yard!" Unusual for the Shakespeare guard group, they appear to be a relatively intelligent unit, managing to capture and detain Balthasar and Friar Laurence in the churchyard. They then testify to the Prince for their role in murder and suicide scenes.
Musician
Three musicians for Juliet's wedding appeared in round four, scene five in a short comic scene, refusing to play a song entitled "Ease of Heart" for Peter. They are called by Simon Catling, Hugh Rebeck, and James Soundpost.
Verona Residents
A number of citizens emerged during Act I, Scene I to break the fight between several Capulets and Montague servants. They reappear in Round III, Scene I to find Tybalt's corpse, at which point they place Benvolio under citizen custody until the Prince's quick entrance.
Magical characters and ghosts
Petruchio
Petruchio is a guest at the Capulet party. He is famous only because he is the only ghost character confirmed by Shakespeare to attend. When the party ends and Juliet asks about Romeo's identity, the Nurse attempts to avoid the subject by answering that Juliet points to "young Petruchio". Later, he was with Tybalt when he injured Mercutio, and some scripts identified a Capulet with one line with that name. Petruchio is also the name of the main character in Shakespeare's earlier work, The Taming of the Shrew .
Rosaline
Rosaline is an invisible character and Capulet's niece. Despite his silence, his role is important: his lover, Romeo, first sees his cousin, Juliet, while trying to see Rosaline at the Capulet meeting.
Before Juliet, Romeo was intrigued by another woman who did not return his feelings. Scholars generally compare Romeo's short-lived love with Rosaline with his passion for Juliet. Rosaline means "fair roses". The poem he wrote for Rosaline was much weaker than that for Juliet. Scholars believe his initial experience with Rosalin prepared him for his relationship with Juliet. Then the appearances of Romeo and Juliet have painted a different image than Romeo and Rosaline, with filmmakers experimenting with making Rosaline a more visible character.
Valentine
Valentine is Mercutio's brother, who is briefly mentioned as a guest at the Capulet party where Romeo and Juliet meet. She is a ghost character with no talking parts, and the only appearance that might be on a Capulet party among the guests. "Valentine" has been defined as "lover" or "brother", and is associated with this attribute in several stories and history. Scholars have shown that Valentine is more strongly connected to the main character than any other ghost, as he is given direct connections to his brother. Although he has a very small role in the Shakespeare drama, the previous version of the story did not give him a role or mention it at all. In fact, they even gave Mercutio a very small role. Shakespeare was the first British playwright to use the name "Valentine" on stage, in the previous drama, Titus Andronicus and Two Gentlemen of Verona . In Titus , Valentine plays a small role, but in Two Gentlemen , she is one of the title characters. Incidentally, Valentine of Two Gentlemen borrowed heavily from Arthur Brooke's Romeus in The Tragical History of Romeus and Juliet, which Shakespeare later used to make Romeo and Juliet
