One small action can change the rest of someone's life. They could make one wrong decision and there life could all of a sudden look very different. Someone else could even chooses there fate because other people can change people's life too. Life might not go as someone planned. Romeo and Juliet wanted to be together forever, but in the end they were both dead. If one person did just one thing different the play could of been very different. Romeo, Juliet, and Tybalt could of done things different, so the two lovers didn’t die the way they did. Tybalt is the person who started every thing, so he is the main reason Romeo and Juliet are dead. After Romeo and Juliet were married Tybalt wanted to fight Romeo. Romeo didn't want to fight Tybalt because they were now family and he knew that if they fought the prince would kill them.
I do protest I never injured thee
But love thee better than thou canst devise
Till thou shalt know the reason of my love.
And so, good Capulet, which name I tender
As dearly as mine own, be satisfied. (III.i.69-73)
Tybalt is the one who started the fight and killed Mercutio. When Tybalt killed Mercutio Romeo thought it was all his fault

Juliet taking the position is one of the things she could of done different. She took a potion that made her look like she was dead for 42 hours. “Romeo, Romeo, Romeo! Here’s drink. I drink to thee” (IIII.iii.59). After she took the poison Romeo came and thought she was dead so he killed himself. If she never took the poison Romeo and her would never be dead. After Romeo died Juliet was so upset and didn’t want to live without Romeo so she killed herself. “Yea, noise? Then I’ll be brief. O, happy dagger,/This is thy sheath. There rust, and let me die” (IIIII.iii.174-175). If she never killed herself she would of never died. Juliet taking the poison and killing herself is one of the reasons there both
Juliet strategizes her disastrous plan and worries, “How if, when I am laid into the tomb, I wake before the time that Romeo come to redeem me?” (Lines 30-32 of Act Four, Scene Three). Juliet is desperate to see Romeo, ergo she plans to fake her death. Her thoughts of Romeo finding her lifeless foreshadows their future. Romeo is deprived of the news of Juliet’s real state of health, therefore he says, “Well, Juliet, I will lie with thee tonight. O mischief, thou art swift to enter the thoughts of desperate men!” (Lines 34-36 of Act Five, Scene One). Once again, Romeo’s perception is only focused on Juliet. His mental instability leads him to think Paris is in the way obtaining true happiness, thus he slays him. Romeo acquires poison, stands beside Juliet, and states, “Here’s to my love! (Drinks.) O true apothecary! Thy drugs are quick. Thus with a kiss I die.” (Lines 119-120 of Act Five, Scene Three). Romeo observes Juliet’s body and determines that he should die beside her. Juliet wakes to his lifeless body, and determines she should commit suicide, as well. Romeo’s foolish decisions lead to the death of himself and
...se he believes Juliet to dead, drinks poison to take his own life as a last resort. What Romeo is unaware of is that Juliet is very much alive, so it is very ironic when he says, “Death, that has sucked the honey of thy breath,/ Hath had no power yet upon thy beauty:/ Thou art not conquered; beauty’s ensign yet/ Is crimson in thy lips and in thy cheeks,/ And death’s pale flag is not advanced there” (V iii 101-105). This is fate in the works in the play. When Juliet sees that her love has not rescued her and rather is dead, she kills herself with a dagger found in the proximity. “O happy dagger/ This is thy sheath; there rust and let me die” (V iii 182-183).
Romeo is surprised at what he did because Juliet awakes as he dies. To see him dead causes Juliet to stab herself with his dagger, straight through the heart. It's a bittersweet ending to such a famous and timeless love story. The fact that they both died for each other is romantic. The fact that they could have been together makes it all seem a greater tragedy.
When asked by Benvolio to make peace in the streets, Tybalt bluntly responds,” talk of peace, I hate the word. As I hate hell all Montagues.” This is the attitude of Tybalt throughout the play. He believes he is doing all for the best and uses violence as his tool. He gets angry at the ball with Romeo being there, “villain as a guest,” and believes it best to defend his family’s honor by later taking revenge. When Tybalt finds Romeo, he thinks it best to fight him and when he ends up killing Mercutio he believes he has done his duty by causing Romeo the same hurt he has brought Tybalt, “the injuries that thou hast done me.”
...re her fake dead body is kept, and drinks the poison he brought with him, hastily, without giving it a second thought, assuming that Juliet was dead and that he might not be able to live without her. However, Juliet wakes up at the moment when Romeo falls dead on her lap and she exclaims, “Poison, I see, hath been his timeless end” (5.3.167), signifying the untimely death of Romeo that occurred due to his unnecessary haste.
A while later, Juliet wakes up from her "death" and sees Romeo dead. She would not be able to live on without her love, thus, she takes his dagger and pierces herself in the heart committing
Of all the things that occur in Romeo and Juliet, the death of Tybalt is one of the most climatic parts of the story. Yet, this all started from another killing of a different person, Mercutio. Mercutio, a relative of the Prince and friend of Romeo, and Tybalt, nephew to Lady Capulet and Mercutio’s arch enemy, were in a heated conversion when Romeo walked in after getting married to Juliet and saw what was going on. Tybalt and Mercutio began to fight and Romeo tried to come in between them to stop the whole thing. Unfortunately, as Tybalt was under Romeo’s arms, he stabbed Mercutio and he died soon after. In all the rage, Romeo was furious that his friend was dead and starts to fight with Tybalt. Eventually, Romeo slays Tybalt and he falls to the floor and dies. Romeo runs away in agony before the Prince soon arrives at the scene of the fight with all the other citizens that were awakened by this fray to see what happened. Although Romeo is guilty of homicide, he is charged for manslaughter as he unlawfully killed a person in the heat of passion while defending Mercutio’s honor.
After catching Romeo at a party he was not supposed to be at, Tybalt had it out for Romeo. Just after Romeo and Juliet’s wedding, Tybalt comes looking for him wanting to fight. Romeo does not want to fight because he now loves Tybalt since he is family to him, but neither Tybalt or anyone else knows this reason. Quickly, Mercutio steps in and tells Tybalt that he will fight him in honour of Romeo. Sadly, this led to the death of Mercutio.
In scene five, act three, Romeo was finding his way into the tomb where Juliet’s supposed dead body was resting. When Romeo found Juliet’s dead body, he brought out his poison and exclaimed that “Thy drugs are quick. Thus with a kiss I die,” (Shakespeare 5. 3. 120), and followed to drink the poison, killing himself. In this passage, Shakespeare explains how Romeo dies, using diction to make the scene romantic. “Thus with a kiss I die,” (Shakespeare 5. 3. 120), can be seen as as a romantic way to die, but it was Romeo’s choice to drink the poison, which ended his life. Furthermore, this decision also resulted in Juliet’s death, shortly after. This passage explains Romeo’s foolishness because instead of killing himself on the spot, he could have waited. Although he would not expect for Juliet to wake up, simply waiting for others to arrive at the tomb to mourn with would have wasted enough time for Juliet to wake up. After some time passed, Juliet woke up from the effects of the potion she drank. When Juliet woke up from her fake coma, she found Romeo dead next to him. She took his dagger and exclaimed “O, happy dagger, This is thy sheath. There rust, and let me die,” (Shakespeare 5. 3. 174-175), and of course, she died shortly after stabbing herself. Shakespeare included
The Prince will doom thee death If thou art taken. Hence, be gone, away!" (Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet, 3, 1,94-97) In the same scene that Mercutio dies because of Romeo presence at the Capulet's party, Romeo kills Tybalt because Tybalt killed Mercutio. The rage that Romeo feels towards Tybalt is only because of his action of killing Mercutio.
Juliet would not have been able to fabricate her death ’ if not for the potion given to her by the friar as he mentioned “Take thou this vial, being then in bed,/and this distilling liquor drink thou off/no warmth, no breath shall testify thou livest.” (Shakespeare 4.1.95,95,100) This potion, as mentioned, would render her seemingly dead for 48 hours. It was so effective that even Juliet’s family believed she had died and therefore cancelled her wedding to Paris. It also gave her the possibility to rebel, as told by the friar, “In the meantime, against thou shalt awake,/Shall Romeo by my letters know our drift,.”
But what later happens is Romeo finds out and sees that she is dead (not knowing she faked it). So Romeo decides to drink poison to kill himself to be with her in the afterlife. Then what happens right after is Juliet wakes up to see Romeo dead. This then leads to her really killing herself. This proves my point about teens being rash and taking the immediate
Tybalt was a adversary of Romeo and had the drift to kill him. His spleen of the situation is Romeo trying to love his coz Juliet. He approached Romeo and Mercutio looking for a fight. Tybalt and Mercutio ended up fighting and Tybalt killed Mercutio, because Tybalt did this, he deserved the death penalty for his transgression. Romeo then took revenge and killed him (3.1.70). This is a legal issue because Tybalt was going to be treated to the death penalty anyway so Romeo killing him was just like giving him the death penalty. This death is a lot different than the others because his was a legal issue and he deserved to die, the other deaths in the play like Romeo, Juliet and Mercutio decided to die for a family member that they love.
Juliet’s actions also shows her desperation. A quote from Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare shows us, “This is thy sheath; [Stabs herself] there rust, and let me die. ”(V, iii, 183). Juliet couldn’t believe that Romeo died for her. And she was in shock, and that caused her to kill herself, and die with Romeo.
Juliet said “What if it be a poison which the friar subtly hath ministered to have me dead... Romeo, Romeo, Romeo, I drink to thee.” In the Shakespearean play, Juliet drinks the vial given to her by the friar, so it would “kill her” and she doesn’t have to marry Paris, instead, she can run away and live happily ever after with Romeo. By continuing this dangerous plan, Juliet puts herself at risk, taking the chance of really dying. With the chance of actually dying, Romeo would have thought she might of been truly dead and Romeo, knowing he would not be with anyone else than Juliet, wouldn’t have known the difference.
