Healthy & Dysfunctional Relationships

An example of a healthy relationship in the story is Mercutio and Romeo. They have a bond that is more then friendship, its a brotherly bond they care for each other and look out for each other, they protect one another. Mercutio is always advising Romeo with everything that he has troubles with girls, fights etc. For example when Tybalt wants to fight Romeo, Romeo backs down but Mercutio sticks up for him and fights on Tybalt, he dies. Romeo will never forget him and the action he did for him. An example of a dysfunctional relationship would be Lady Capulet and her daughter, Juliet may be her daughter but she could care less about her. Lady Capulet is not a mom to Juliet at all, she does not care about her feelings, her dislikes and likes, or even know anything really about her. The only mother figure in Juliets life is the nurse. Lady Capulet only cares about alchohal, partying, herself and what everyone thinks about her family because she is bossed around by Capulet. Juliet is not any different her mother might be hard to bare but she hates her so much, her hatred for her mom drives her the thought they will never be a normal family. Which is an a example of a dysfunctional relationship.
