In William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet", family relationships are absolutely vital and one could argue that their importance is greater than that of romantic relationships. This is a very unusual view, as most of the literature produced in the Elizabethan era was about romantic love, rather than family bonds. This play, however, shows romantic love in light of family relationships and sees the test that these families might be subjected to in accepting change in their lives. Since the Monatgues and the Capulets are sworn enemies, the rivalry between their families is almost unbreakable. Throughout the play we see many places where their hatred for each other is presented, mainly through the character of Tybalt. In this play, Tybalt is seen as the physical embodiment of the hatred between the families and in Act 1 Scene 3, we see Tybalt challenge Romeo to a fight after appearing at the Capulets' ball. His anger towards Romeo is evident, as the first thing he expresses to Romeo is that "you are a villain." This line is crucial in the play, as it is the start of the final feud between the two families, and because it is so short, it has a strong impact as it is heard by the audience. This line shows that Tybalt is very willing to fight for his family, even when he is implicitly told that he shouldn't cause trouble by his uncle. This could be seen as a power struggle between the two characters, as Tybalt feels almost betrayed that his uncle let Romeo escape unharmed, and is seen to resent his uncle's power in Act 1 Scene 5 This can be seen within the phrase "Patience necessarily with the stubborn and choleric meeting makes my flesh tremble in their different greeting". Tybalt trembles physically... in the center of the sheet... oric meaning; Let me be free. This shows that the relationship between Juliet and Lord Capulet is strained and broken, with a lack of understanding from each of the characters presented. Nora's character throughout "A Doll's House" resembles that of Juliet, as she documents the emerging rebellion of a young girl realizing her potential and ability to make her own decisions. At the beginning of A Doll's House, Nora seems perfectly content with her husband and her life, and is happy to be called his "little squirrel" whenever Torvald speaks to her. This use of animalistic language suggests a sense of ownership, like a man owning a dog. This ties heavily into the theme of Juliet and Lord Capulet, as Lord Capulet feels he is Juliet's owner and has the right to make decisions on her behalf, including who she will ultimately marry..
