In Act 3, scene 1 of Romeo and Juliet, Romeo is faced with several moral questions that relate to the themes of the play.

On the one hand, Romeo does not want to fight against Tybalt because he is a Capulet. As Romeo married Juliet in secret, he considers Tybalt his family now. This touches on the themes of family and love. However, Romeo wants to defend Mercutio, and later on avenge his death. This addresses the subject of loyalty. Finally, Romeo feels that his love for Juliet has made him "effeminate" and unable to fight. This addresses the themes of honour and masculinity. It also discusses the effects of love.

Romeo kills Tybalt right after he marries Juliet in Act III. He is now family to Tybalt and does not want to fight him, but he can't tell anyone why. Romeo wasn't ever much of a fighter in the first place, and, due to the Prince's ultimatum from Act I, there are many reasons why Romeo wouldn't want to fight Tybalt. Still, Mercutio engages Tybalt in a duel after Tybalt hurls insult after insult at Romeo....

How does the author contrast the differing points of view of Goodman Brown and his wife, Faith?
nekit [7.7K]
THE WEAKNESS OF PUBLIC MORALITY

In “Young Goodman Brown,” Hawthorne reveals what he sees as the corruptibility that results from Puritan society’s emphasis on public morality, which often weakens private religious faith. Although Goodman Brown has decided to come into the forest and meet with the devil, he still hides when he sees Goody Cloyse and hears the minister and Deacon Gookin. He seems more concerned with how his faith appears to other people than with the fact that he has decided to meet with the devil. Goodman Brown’s religious convictions are rooted in his belief that those around him are also religious. This kind of faith, which depends so much on other people’s views, is easily weakened. When Goodman Brown discovers that his father, grandfather, Goody Cloyse, the minister, Deacon Gookin, and Faith are all in league with the devil, Goodman Brown quickly decides that he might as well do the same. Hawthorne seems to suggest that the danger of basing a society on moral principles and religious faith lies in the fact that members of the society do not arrive at their own moral decisions. When they copy the beliefs of the people around them, their faith becomes weak and rootless.
