Rebellion, while usually marked by tyranny and destruction, could also be seen as a positive thing in the hands of a good situation. For example, the Revolutionary War gave us freedom and it was all thanks to the Americans' rebellion against England. Even so, rebellion doesn't have to decide the fate of a country; it could be something as trivial as getting the chocolate chip cookies back in high school during Orange Period. There are many different ways to rebel, however, in a more specific area, there are times when rebellion is very unlikely to succeed, and sometimes it is even a bad decision. The decision to rebel or not is a question constantly asked in Shakespeare's era, and particularly in his plays. In the play The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, there are many acts of rebellion from the children that define their own and others' characteristics, but there are certain moments where it is truly acceptable in the play to disobey parents must defend their goals of self-preservation and their morality. To begin with, children should not always obey their parents because without their own decisions in life, they fall into a melancholy state, which refuses them to become themselves as an individual. A character was shown in this "empty" state when referring to his parents. It was Juliette. The lines show that she does not view her mother as a "mother figure." In fact, the nurse is more maternal to Juliette than anyone else in the room. They are shown through the lines “Madame, I am here; what is your wish? (Act I: iii) » In these words alone, you can tell that Juliet was raised to never question her parents' decision; and it didn't help that she was never real... middle of paper... air of star-crossed lovers committing suicide. And the old grudge turns into a new mutiny (Prologue). Even at the very beginning of the play, they are said to be fighting, and because of the fighting, Tybalt and Mercutio died, and the grief of banishment (murder) cost Lady Montague her life. Throughout the play's many names, themes, and morals, Romeo and Juliet undoubtedly turned many people's heads with its dramatic twists, irony, and overall ending. Obviously, rebellion manifests itself even in the most vague ways. In some cases this is not shown, but rather obedience. This proves that in some cases it is appropriate to follow instructions given by an adult. Clearly, William Shakespeare's The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet is a story about when to obey your parents, when they are wrong, and why you shouldn't always listen to an authoritative figure...
