Youth vs age

• Young characters are often presented as reckless and impulsive with unrestrained emotion that fuels conflict. Older characters introduced as a foil to this to show maturity, wisdom and the desire for peaceful resolution. SP questions this and explores whether the facade of wisdom in the older characters actually causes more destruction. He also questions whether it is actually age that brings power and agency or is it the patriach
• A dog of the house of Montague moves me
• O calm, dishonourable, vile submission
• Fire eyed fury be my conduct now
• Swear by thy gracious self...god of my idolatry
• Poison hath residence and medicine power
• Your lives shall pay the forfeit of the peace
• Young characters are at the centre of the conflict and indulge in it, viewing it as their duty to their families, and engage in spontaneous behaviour, whereas the older generation maintain more of a neutrality that creates calm
• SP explores how age does not necessarily bring wisdom and power and the potential for change - not within the patriach
• Nurse give leave a while we must talk in secret
• How stands your disposition to be married
• Why lamb why ladybird
• SP challenges this view; the older generation cause more harm with their egotistical beliefs that they are always right and should not be defied. Older generations have a stubbornness that is detrimental to change and the youth craves societal change
• Violent delights have violent ends
• Young, disobedient wretch
• Peace you mumbling fool
• Juliet is the sun
• I shall raise her a statue in pure gold
