Romeo And Juliet Fatal Flaws Essay

Timing can decide new paths to one's life, in some cases you may come across a flaw that can turn your whole life upside down. This is what we see in Shakespeare's play, Romeo & Juliet. We see their lives being flipped in the wrong direction, in many cases throughout out the play bringing them to fatal flaws. They had no immunity to what was to come, it was fate to decide. It could just be making it to some event or someone seconds or minutes late and losing a job or something else. Then there's the fatal flaws, someone is having a heart attack, don't get them help soon enough and they'll die. This is what we call tragic timing, the off timing that results in a tragedy.

The first fatal flaw we see is a letter not being delivered on time, what's in this letter? Something that means life or death if not read. “In the mean time, against thou shalt awake, Shall Romeo by

my letters know our drift, And hither shall he come: and he and I Will watch thy waking, and that very night Shall Romeo bear thee hence to Mantua. And this shall free thee from this present shame; If no inconstant toy, nor womanish fear, Abate thy valour in the acting it.” [] This quote is where the friar expressed what this letter ment if it would not make it and what it would bring to the families and the young couple. If we dig in a little deeper, you see the letter was sent to alert Romeo that juliet's death was faked before he tried to kill himself as the friar thought. As they raced to find Romeo, I found it weird that no one was at the church waiting to tell him of juliet's “death”. It was urgent to get this information to Romeo if the latter would have arrived seconds or minutes earlier their future would have been happier than we found it to be. The late letter had a butterfly effect and caused other fatal flaws.

After the news not reaching Romeo he has been heart broken at the news of juliet's “death”.

So heart broken he didn't want to live without her, this was a big part to show that timing is everything and can be tragic. “What's here? a cup, closed in my true love's hand? Poison, I see, hath been his timeless end: O churl! drunk all, and left no friendly drop To help me after? I will kiss thy lips; Haply some poison yet doth hang on them, To make die with a restorative.” [] this was what Juliet said after Romeo had done something that couldn't be undone and would tear their relationship apart. How he drank a poison that he had bought in hopes to be dead beside his wife. The potion that made Juliet look dead had been wearing off, right as she raised her hand to Romeo's face he drank the potion. This was the absolute unluckiest timing ever, and it was tragic it was one of the biggest fatal flaws we'll see throughout this book. They had all these plans put together and they were flawed bringing death to the both of them. If Juliet woke up a second earlier she would've made it a happily ever after for the

two.

Tragic deaths brought by the fatal flaws of tragic timing. One act of tragic timing can burst off into a butterfly effect imposing on many lives throughout the realm and Verona. Juliet was stricken with sadness after romeo had killed himself because of the before tragic timing. The death of romeo made juliet not was to live without him as Romeo previously expressed. “Do thou but call my resolution wise, And with this knife I'll help it presently. God join'd my heart and Romeo's, thou our hands” [] This was the moment Juliet decided she was going to rest in peace with her Romeo, as she stabbed herself beside him. I figured that juliet additionally found herself liable for the death of her Romeo. If romeo just held off for a few seconds we would find this event erased from history in the story.

Many deaths caused of fatal flaws brought by the butterfly’s for tragic timing. One of the biggest tragic timing examples was started with the letter not making it to Romeo. With the letter not making it to Romeo he thought his dear Juliet was dead, sending him on a mission to join her by remunerating a apothecary for poison. With Juliet's late timing on waking up before Romeo drank the poison, she woke up to him dead. This death ruined Juliet, so much she had to be with him; she killed herself. With the young couple dead and laying beside each other the families had to come together as the prince instituted a rant/speech. The deaths brought even more deaths in this story, the story of tragic timing and what its fate will bring to the people who display it. It all goes to show how just little off timing can cause tragedy and bring fatal flaws expanding to much more in this story of Juliet and her Romeo.
