Debate: Romeo and Juliet - Marriage?
Side: Yes, marriage was only way out

Juliet was part of the Capulet family, and is in a rivalry with Romeo's family, the Montague's. Although they should be enemies, the two are madly in love with one another, and wish to marry in secret quickly. Once the two marry, they will no longer be a part of the rivalry between their families. The best way to help explain is within Act 2, stanza 152-155, "Do not swear at all; Or if thou wilt, swear by thy gracious self, Which is the god of my idolatry, and I'll believe thee." Juliet and Romeo trust in their love for one another, and decide to marry despite what is against them.

Side: Yes, marriage was only way out

Marriage was the only way for Romeo and Juliet to be together. I think this because of the love they had for each other; however, they where not able to see each other of the hate of the two families. This hate for each other is explained in the prologue in act one. "From ancient grudge breaks new mutiny." This means that even right out of a young age they still hate each other. But they loved each other and that only way to see each other was to get married. Also, Juliet was getting an arranged marriage and to see Romeo was only to get married so she does not that to go through with the arranged marriage.

Side: Yes, marriage was only way out

I agree that marriage was the only way out for Romeo and Juliet. Their families hated each other and it would be impossible to get their families to get along and treat each other like family. The servants of the two household couldn't even get along! On page 583 the quote "Nay, as they dare. I will bite my thumb at them which is disgrace to them if they bear it." shows just how much the sides hate each other. Romeo and Juliet fell in love with each other and couldn't imagine being without each other, their families would never let them be together. Therefore, marriage was the only option for them to be together.

I think marriage was a way out Marriage back in the 1800 could not be broken, when you marry you are stuck with that person for the rest of your life. It makes sense to why they were so quick to marry each other. Friar Lawrence, the father/pastor was the one to marry Romeo and Juliet, even thought it would end the feud between the two families. For example, on page 618 Friar, states that marriage will end the feud between the two families.

tanner winansI feel that marriage was the only option for Romeo and Juliet so they could be together. It is obvious that Romeo and Juliet needed each other once they met or their hours would be eternal and miserable. " It was. What sadness lengthens Romeo's hours?" Romeo says " Not having that which makes them short." after Rosaline leaves him he is lost and without Juliet may never have found love. Also it could show her family how serious she is about her love towards Romeo and the fact she does not want to marry Paris. She says a lot of this In her soliloquy in act 3 scene 2. She says " Give me my Romeo..."
Debate: Romeo and Juliet - Marriage?
Side: Yes, marriage was only way out

Yes, marriage was the only way out because the only thing that was stopping them from getting married was the fact that the two families hate each other. If two people really love each other they wouldn't let that keep them from being together forever. "Two households, both alike in dignity... From ancient grudge breaks civil mutiny." This text shows that the two families do hate each other but in the end have to come together because Romeo and Juliet both die. The two families should both feel the loss of a family member and seeing them split. Romeo and Juliet were both smitten with each other it seemed like that they couldn't wait to see each other and when they leave it is like they died a little inside. So if they feel that way about each other marriage has to be the only option to keep them happy even if it has to be a underground marriage.
Debate: Romeo and Juliet - Marriage?
Side: Yes, marriage was only way out

I feel like marriage was the only option for Romeo and Juliet. If they really were in love and wanted to get married, even if their parents would object to the marriage, they should be able to get married. If two people are truly in love with each other, they should have the right to be together, even if their parents didn't agree with their decisions. For example, when Romeo explained how in love he was with Juliet, "With love's light wings did I o'erperch (fly over) these walls; For stony limits cannot hold love out...Therefore thy kingsmen are no stop (obstacle) to me" (pg. 612). This shows that nothing could stop these two lovers from being together, even it did cause destruction throughout their city and families. When Juliet disobeyed her mother, it showed just how in love she was with Romeo. Romeo and Juliet's marriage may have also stopped Juliet and the Prince's marriage. If two people would go through some much together, they should be together through marriage or anything that would prove that their love for each other is real.

Side: Yes, marriage was only way out

Marriage was the only way out because their parents would have never supported their marriage. For example if Juliet told her father, Lord Capulet, that she was in love with her family's enemy her father would have most likely disowned her. An example of Juliet's father acting irrationally to news would be on page 654 when Juliet tells her father she does not want to marry Paris her father says, "get thee to church a' Thursday. Or never after look me in the face." Juliet and Romeo believed that they were in love with each other so they got married in the hope that their parents would overcome their feud and join together. They had to get married at that exact moment in the story because if they didn't Juliet might have been forced to marry Paris and it wouldn't be a huge sin. Thankfully they did get married so that Juliet won't marry Paris since he is not Juliet's true love. Yes, marriage was the only way out in this situation for Romeo and Juliet to stay together.

Side: Yes, marriage was only way out

I do think that the only way out was marriage because the two of them are in love and even though they're two families won't approve they love each other. On page 612 Romeo says, "By love, that first did prompt me inquire." At this point in the story he's talking to Juliet at her house, and he's telling her how he loves her even though they only met the night before. She also, proclaims her love for him as well. Since they fell in love instantly why shouldn't they be able to get married instantly? They both love each other and i think that they would've killed themselves or something even earlier.

Side: Yes, marriage was only way out

I think that marriage was the only way out because if they hadn't gotten married then I feel like at that point romeo and Juliet were so in love and they both knew that their families hatred would try and keep them apart. Nothing would have satisfied them as much as marriage "My bounty is as boundless as the sea , my love as deep; the more I give to thee , the more I have for both are infinite." Without their marriage then they both would have been forever wishing and being unhappy about their lives. Nothing could satisfy them except marriage, and eventually they would have wanted to make their love into marriage. Nothing could have really been done about their true love. One day , even if they hadn't gotten married right then and there, all of this drama and deaths still would have happened. Their choices because of their love was undeniable and can't be avoided.

I think that marriage really was the only way out for Romeo and Juliet because I doubt they would have agreed to any other solutions. They seemed to be so infatuated with each other that they would not have listened to reason.
Debate: Romeo and Juliet - Marriage?
Side: Yes, marriage was only way out

Marriage was the only way out. Since their families hated each other, they didn't have a chance if they did not get married. This is so because marriage is binding and if the couple married, the families would have no choice but to accept it for their kids' sake. in act two, scene three of the play, Romeo is asking Friar Lawrence to marry him and Juliet. the friar is hopeful that the marriage will bring the households together and says, "For this alliance may so happy prove to turn your households' rancor to pure love." The friar is only agreeing to marry the couple in hopes it will bring the families together and end the feud. the couple has no other options because Juliet does not want to run away and they cant openly say they love each other to their families because they will forbid them from seeing each other. if they are married, they cant be forbid from seeing each other.

Side: Yes, marriage was only way out

Romeo and Juliet fell in love; there was simply no way around it. It was love at first sight; once they saw each other and exchanged words, they knew that they wanted to be together. Soon after, they realize that their families are enemies that hate each other with everything they posses. However, by that point it was too late; Romeo knew he loved Juliet and Juliet knew that she loved Romeo. It was clear that the Capulet parents had an agenda for their daughter; she was to marry the approved Paris. Juliet knew the only way she could attempt to get out of this and be with Romeo was to marry him, so that she did. "If thy bent of love be honorable, thy purpose marriage, send me word tomorrow, by one that I'll procure to come to thee...and all my fortunes at thy foot I'll lay and follow thee my lord throughout the world.". The intent (besides to be together with the hope that then they could not be separated) was to hopefully mend the wounds between the families. Juliet truly had no choice; she either married Romeo and was happy, or married Paris and made her family but not herself happy.

Side: Yes, marriage was only way out

Yes, I believe that for Romeo and Juliet marriage was the only option. First and foremost if they did not arrange the secret marriage they would never be able to get married due to their family feud. Both Romeo and Juliet know that their parents would never allow the two of them to be together. Limiting their choices to get married, or never be together. Yet the most important reason marriage was the only option for these two lovebirds is that Lord Capulet was going to make Juliet marry Paris in the future. This problem is evident on page 654 when Capulet says: "Out, you green-sickness carrion! Out, you baggage! You tallow-face!". In this excerpt Capulet I saying either marry Paris or live on the streets and never talk to us again. Marriage was the only option Romeo and Juliet had because due to their family feud and the upcoming arranged marriage for Juliet.

well it was the only way to find a result that would bring the family's together, because if they just confess there love without anything material proof to there family heads, they would most likely just be torn apart from each other, and maybe even push the Capulet and montaque even farther from each other, because they would blame each other for the allowence of romeo and juliets love. also marriage was really the most popular option, seeing as most married couples in the time period only knew each other for a month or two before marriage was proposed , page 595: "what is your dispostion on marriage", "it is a dream i dream not of" replys juliet to her mother lady capulet

Side: Yes, marriage was only way out

Marriage was the only way out. Marriage could bring the two families together and end the rivalry between the Capulet's and the Montague's. If the rivalry between those two ended Verona would be a fair city and the people wouldn't have to pick a family that they like. On page 618 Friar Lawrence said "I'll thy assistant be; For this alliance may so happy prove To turn your household's rancor to pure love." What Friar Lawrence is saying that he will do it only to stop the rivalry between the two family's to stop fighting. Friar Lawrence did the marriage so that the two family's would not fight anymore.

Side: Yes, marriage was only way out

Yes, I do believe Marriage was the only way to solve their problems. I believe it is because if they aren't married they would eventually get caught being together. Romeo and Juliet both love each other they even tell each other themselves. So True Love results in marriage and also Juliet wouldn't have to marry Paris because she is already married to Romeo. In line 105 on page 653 Juliet tells Lady Capulet "And joy comes well in such a needy time." To me she's meaning that her true happiness is coming from Romeo and it was such little time for them to get married. She wouldn't be happy marrying Paris as she said her joy came in such little time. Her true love was to Romeo so therefore that was the best option for them to get married.

Yes, i believe that marriage was the only option for Romeo and Juliet. The two people were very in love and young so in their minds they wanted to get married. in spite of their love they got married. I don't think that Romeo or Juliet could have made any other decisions themselves. They are young and when it came down to love, they thought marriage was the best choice. They consoled with Friar Lawrence to marry them and he thought it would mend the past differences between both families. Throughout the story, Romeo and Juliet, whenever they hit a bump in the road they look to a guardian that they trust.

Romeo and Juliet only had one choice, and it was to be married. They were in love with each other, but their families did not quite get along very well. They were old family rivals, and the only way to make peace between the two households would be for them to be married. Friar Lawrence stated , " So smile the heavens upon this holy act That after hours with sorrow chide us not!" (627) This statement displays Friar Lawrence's hope for Romeo and Juliet's marriage to have the power to heal the scars between the families. Their marriage was not only believed by themselves, but also a respected priest in their community.

Side: Yes, marriage was only way out

Marriage was the only way to get out because they loved each other so much but their families were in a feud. The only way to be able to have them be together, or know they would be together, is if they were to get married because it would allow them to possibly end the feud between the families instead of possibly running away which could get them killed because they wouldn't be able to support themselves or they could get caught by someone the parents knew in other towns. Like the Friar said in Act II, scene iii, line 91-92, "For this alliance may so happy prove to turn your households' rancor to pure love." This quote means that the Friar thinks that marrying the two would end the feud between the families and bring peace to Verona and Romeo and Juliet could be together.

Yes marriage was the only way out. with them being in love and not being married the family would still hate each other, since they are married and are in love their families might,just might get along since one is a Capulet and one is a Montague, their only option is to get along since they will all be family now. in act 1 page 587 the story Romeo says "here's so much to do with hate, but more with love." which I think means that their families has so much hate for eachother that they are blinded by by their love maybe...

I think that marriage was the only was out because if the families of both Romeo and Juliet found out about it, it could have ended the feud between the two families. Even if both of the families tried to end their love for each other, they still would have found a way to see each other secretly. Juliet could run off with Romeo if they did not accept the marriage.

Side: Yes, marriage was only way out

I think that the marriage was the only way out, because they loved each other so there isn't really another option. Without love they would be sad and depressed, she would have to marry Paris, and he would be sad because Rosaline didn't like him, so I think marriage would be a good idea for Romeo and Juliet. They were happy, but Paris was sad when he saw Juliet "dead". " O, I am slain! If thou be merciful, Open the tomb, lay me with Juliet." Paris saw Juliet laying there dead in the tomb and made him sad, but she was happy, because she knew she was going to get to see Romeo again.

I do agree that marriage was the only option. This is because when Friar said," In one respect I'll thy assistant be; For this alliance may so happy prov to turn your households" rancor to pure love." What he was trying to say was that, maybe by Romeo and Juliet getting married would make there families stop disliking each other.In order for them to be with each other, they would have to make it official so they can"t be separated. Romeo and Juliet got married without anyone knowing and they still haven't told anyone about the marriage
Debate: Romeo and Juliet - Marriage?
Side: Yes, marriage was only way out

In the case of Romeo and Juliet, I believe marriage was the only answer because only the two of them can decide what their love for each other is. Juliet knows she loves Romeo, as well as Romeo knows he loves Juliet, reassuring that they both marry each other out of love only. They both know they would not be allowed together and that Juliet will marry Paris so threw marriage proves that only the two of them can be truly in love. "God joined my heart, and Romeo's, thou are hands.' saying Juliet believes it is faith that brought them together. Also to say that no one but God can say they belong together and no one else. Juliet does not intend to marry Paris, but insist death before it. "Bid me leap, rather than marry Paris." Proving only Romeo is her true love and she would not love another in his place. Marriage was their best option of joining vowels of love towards each other and proving marriage was the best way out.

I think marriage was the only way out. I think marriage was the only way out because they were to young. they couldn't just leave because Juliet was 14 and she was in the rivalry royal family. The queen would defiantly not let Juliet out and leave. especially when shes only 14. later on in the story the queen allows her to marry but she doesn't know that she is already married to Romeo. so marriage seemed like the only way.

yes, marriage was the only way out because romeo fell in love wen he first saw her and romeo wanted the Montague and Capulet's to stop being enemies and stick together. The only way they could of did that was to marry Juliet. Romeo and Juliet was so in love a couple days later they got married. They didn't want to have a big wedding because he didn't want nobody to know but friar larwars and the nurse. So the only way they can end the feud of the montages and Capulet's was that romeo and Juliet get married. In the book it says

Romeo and Juliet's only option was to get married because Juliet couldn't have ran away with Romeo because she was far too young. Juliet, being 13 could not have fled fair Verona with her lover even it was not one of the vile Montague's.

In my opinion, Romeo and Juliet is about teenage suicide. They both wanted to get married and when their dueling families prevented it, they both took their own lives. Very sad!
Debate: Romeo and Juliet - Marriage?
Side: No, marriage not only option

Marriage was not the only option for Romeo and Juliet, nor was it a smart option. Romeo and Juliet's families hate each other to the core, and that is the main reason why marriage is not a smart idea. Yes they believe they are in love, but that does not mean they had to get married in secret the day after they met. Problems start to occur due to their marriage almost immediately. First Tyblat and Mercutio die due to the family feud and Romeo gets banished, keeping him from ever being with Juliet again. Then Juliet's parents try to force Juliet to marry Paris which she can't because she's already married. Juliet even says, "O God, I have an ill-diving soul" (652). This shows how unhappy she is when Romeo has to leave her and go to Mantua. Nothing really good occurs from their marriage besides the few hours of lust they felt.

Side: No, marriage not only option

In Romeo and Juliet, I believe that they were wrong into getting married so quickly. They rushed into it and never knew if they truly loved each other enough to be together forever. On page 613, Juliet asks if Romeo loves her but she already knows the answer, "Dost thou love me? I know thou wilt say 'Ay'" What she doesn't know is that Romeo is a lovesick puppy and he really just falls in love with girls on a daily basis. This love that they have for each other could only be temporary and may not last. On page 614 Juliet has a bit of doubt if this marriage will work out, but her heart takes over her and she wants to get married, "If that thy bent of love be honorable, thy purpose marriage, send me word tomorrow."

Olivia OglesbyMarriage was not the only option for Romeo and Juliet. Right when they both saw each other they both instantly fell in love and got married the day after they met. Even though they both new they were in love with their "enemy," Romeo and Juliet did not have to get married right away. I think that Romeo and Juliet took their love a little bit too fast. "My only love sprung from my only hate! To early seen unknown, and known too late!" (Page 605). By this quote Juliet new that she fell in love with her supposed enemy. I think if Romeo and Juliet hadn't been so young, they would of thought to maybe talk to their families about the two being in love. They both thought that marriage was the only option because they were scared about anyone finding out that they had fallen in love, but there were many different roads that Romeo and Juliet could have taken, other than getting married the day after they met. Romeo and Juliet were just young lovers, that were afraid to be together because of their feuding families.
