The Most Excellent And Lamentable Tragedy Of Romeo And Juliet

One can easily be influenced by foolish and impulsive desires, which can force them into bad situations. Such is the case with William Shakespeare’s The Most Excellent And Lamentable Tragedy Of Romeo and Juliet. This play is centred on two adolescents blinded by love. Moreover, the love that brought them together is ultimately what leads to their demise. Their deaths can only be blamed on themselves. This is due to the facts that they committed the mistakes of making regrettable decisions, they formed a marriage hastily and they formed a defective, sexually driven relationship.

Firstly, Romeo and Juliet worked in haste rushing the important act of marriage for their love. Unfortunately, this was a thoughtless notion that engendered a horrible

Adolescents similar to Romeo and Juliet do not know much about intercourse, leaving them eager to please themselves. Prior to the couple meeting, Romeo had a failed relationship with another girl named Rosaline, due to the fact that she wished to remain a virgin. This of course upset Romeo due to his yearning for copulation. This can be noted from Romeo 's lines “she hath, and in that sparing makes huge waste;” ,(I,i,215) Romeo was speaking to Benvolio about his relationship with Rosaline when he said this. He meant to say that Rosaline’s wish to remain a virgin renders her beauty wasted. This left Romeo running to the next girl he sees, which happened to be Juliet. Romeo and Juliet instantly developed an extreme attachment to each other, based solely on each other 's looks. Romeo had just seen Juliet and after the party he said to himself at Capulet’s Orchard "Her vestal livery is but sick and green, And none but fools do wear it. Cast it off!" (II,ii,8-9).Romeo meant Juliet’s virginity makes her look sick and that only fools keep their virginity, he then said that Juliet should get rid of it. Moreover, Juliet was equally as eager to engage in coitus, which can be recognized in Juliet 's speech right after the marriage “lovers can see to do their amorous rites /by their own beauties, or, if love be blind,” (III,ii,8-9), Juliet referred to herself and Romeo, saying that they can get to

The tragedy of Romeo and Juliet was caused by a series of bad decisions, which ultimately provoked the deaths of the, “star crossed lovers”. Romeo and Juliet were both quick to consider death, both of their own and others. First, the event that put the tragedy into place was Romeo’s banishment. After, Mercutio’s death Romeo could not control his anger and murdered Tybalt. Moreover, if Romeo had remained calm and made the right decision of not killing Tybalt Romeo would not have received the sentence of exile, which would have prevented the need for the Friar’s plan therefore preventing the deaths. Romeo said “And fire-eyed fury be my conduct now.”(III,i,123).Romeo let his anger take control of him, which was an extreme blunder. Another instance of an adverse decision was when Juliet threatened the Friar with suicide, which worried the Friar forcing him to make a poor decision due to the stress and tension. She could have alternatively tackled the problem in a calm way like instead escaping to Mantua . Nevertheless, she instead chose to put the Friar in a stressful state. She said, “Do thou but call my resolution wise,/ And with this knife I’ll help it presently. ”(IV,i,53-54). She said that her solution to end her pain is to kill herself with her knife. This later evoked the Friar to desperately come up with a plan, which did not end positively with a miscommunication to
