each other so quickly, but I blame Romeo for a majority of their troubles. Romeo was just getting over his first love, Rosaline, when he went to the ball. While he was there, he encountered Juliet for the first time by asking her to dance. They danced, they talked and they kissed. They fell in love. They would have never experienced the strong attachment that both of them felt if Romeo would have never gone over to Juliet and asked her to dance. Juliet never intended meeting someone that night and did not want to dance with anyone, but when Romeo asked she accepted. A similar situation occurs in the story West Side Story. “...the love of teenagers Maria and Tony is doomed by their affiliations with rival gangs. They carry on a secret romance as tension between the gangs escalates and ends in tragedy” (Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc.). Also, Romeo thought it was a brilliant idea if Juliet and he got married. She went along with whatever he said, because she was stupid in love. It was Romeo’s idea to get married, so in turn that makes it Romeo’s fault. Juliet was willing to leave her family for him. “O Romeo. Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse they name; Or, if thou will not, be sworn my love, And I’ll no longer be a Capulet” (Shakespeare 404). She was stupid enough to abandon her family. Romeo was willing to leave his, also. The fact that he is willing to abandon family and encouraged Juliet to do so, too, proves he is to blame for the issues they encountered. Another reason why Romeo is to blame for the problems he encountered with Juliet is because of the violence he employed against Julia’s family.
Tybalt is Juliet’s cousin and he was known for fighting. Tybalt was looking for an opponent and wanted to fight Mercutio, Romeo’s best friend. Romeo was trying to protect Mercutio when Tybalt came in for the kill and murdered Mercutio. After this, Tybalt ran away but soon showed up again to take on Romeo. Romeo said, “Alive in triumph, and Mercutio slain? Away to heaven respective lenity, And fire-eyed fury be my conduct now! Now, Tybalt, take the “villain” back again That late thou gavest me; for Mercutio’s soul Is but a little way above our heads, Staying for thine to keep him company. Either thou or I, or both, must go with him” (Shakespeare 429). Tybalt lost the fight and Romeo killed him. This does not make Romeo look good since Juliet is now his wife and he just killed her cousin. Her family will not be impressed with his heartless …show more content…

If he would not have asked Juliet to dance, convinced her to marry him, and killed Tybalt, things could have turned out differently.

Romeo and Juliet, written by William Shakespeare, is a story of two young lovers. These two hearts, Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet belong to feuding families. The family feud causes them to keep their love a secret and therefore only Romeo, Juliet, Benvolio, the Nurse and Friar Lawrence know of their love. Romeo and Juliet are able to look past the feud and let themselves fall in mad love with the other. They let themselves do almost anything for the other and at times it seems like too much to do, even for the one they love. Although fate and character traits play a key role in the play, ultimately Rome and Juliet’s personal choices lead to their downfall.Fate originates all of the conflicts in Romeo and Juliet, from when they met until they die.
Romeo senses tensions are high with Tybalt, so he states, “I do protest I never injured thee but love thee better than thou canst devise.” (Lines 65-66 Act Three, Scene One). Romeo is trying to diffuse the situation because he realizes that Tybalt is his love's cousin. Mercutio is surprised by Romeo’s behavior, so he decides to fight Tybalt himself. Mercutio’s decision to fight Tybalt leads to his own death. Romeo is angered by the death of Mercutio and states, “Now, Tybalt, take the “villain" back again/ That late thou gavest me; for Mercutio’s soul.” (Lines 123-124 of Act Three, Scene One). Romeo is indicating that Tybalt is the villain now, because he slayed Mercutio. Romeo forgets about his attempt to befriend the Capulets and slays Tybalt. Romeo, murderer of Tybalt, solely focuses on Juliet and states “Ha, banishment? Be merciful, say “death"/For exile hath more terror in his look.” (Lines 12-13 of Act Three, Scene Three). Romeo does not care about Tybalt’s life, but only cares for the way it affects his relationship with Juliet. Romeo’s mother dies out of grief because of his banishment. Romeo’s recklessness in loving Juliet has led to the death of three

Romeo and Juliet is a romantic love story about a young lad named Romeo who has fallen in love with Lady Juliet, but is unable to marry her because of a long-lasting family feud. The play ends in the death of both these characters and the reunion of the friendship between the families. Romeo is in love with Juliet, and this is a true, passionate love (unlike the love Paris has for her or the love Romeo had for Rosaline) that nothing can overcome, not even the hatred between their two families that is the reason for the death of their two children. Throughout the play, Shakespeare thoroughly explores the themes of both true love and false love and hatred. Without either of these themes, the play would loose its romantic touch and probably would not be as famous as it is today.
Instead of supporting, or even comforting her daughter after Lord Capulet threatened to disown her, Lady Capulet walked away and said, “Talk not to me, for I’ll not speak a word. / Do as thou wilt, for I have done with thee.” (III.v.212). This is said after Juliet asks her mother to try and delay the wedding, if not Juliet would kill herself. Lady Capulet tells Juliet that she does not matter to Lady Capulet unless she agrees to marry Paris. Lady Capulet is supporting her husband’s decision as well. If Lady Capulet could have postponed the wedding, Juliet would have had more time to think about her relationship with Romeo. If she still decided she wanted to be with Romeo, the delay of the wedding would have given her more time to plan a better, more safe, escape. Also, if both Lord and Lady Capulet had been less hating towards the Montagues, Juliet would have come clean to them about her and Romeo. This would have led to Juliet having more time with Romeo, and more advice from her family. It would have also prevented the secret marriage and perhaps after getting to know each other a little better, they would not have wanted to get

In the play of Romeo and Juliet Act 5, death is the most prominent theme. In this part of the play Romeo is determined to show solidarity to Juliet his beloved one. This is demonstrated by his act of purchasing the poison prior to arriving in Verona upon hearing the news about Juliet's alleged suicide.

She was forced to agree with the marriage, but in reality, she knew she couldn’t marry Paris because her heart and her hand belonged to Romeo already. She rushes to Friar Lawrence for assistance. If her “heart with treacherous revolt/ Turn to another, [the knife] shall slay them both” (5.1.64-65). Juliet gave the Friar an ultimatum: help her escape or she’d kill herself. They came up with a hastily-made plan that relied on too much luck, which would undeniably assist in Romeo and Juliet’s suicides in the
