In the end; their deaths were caused by their own love and foolishness. There are many others who also believe this. An example from a document on this same topic says “These two are too quickly married and do not think of the consequences of their actions. Adolescent passion fools both Romeo and Juliet into believing that their love can transcend their families’ strife and the rules of patriarchal Verona.” (Document B: The foolish passion of Romeo and Juliet). Teenagers are constantly changing and hormones make them do stupid things. Romeo and Juliet are a prime example of this. When they first see each other they immediately have huge crushes, which isn’t that bad. But then they take it further when they discover who each other’s families are and decide to meet in secret. If they had just openly said that they were seeing each other things wouldn’t have gone so far. There would have been shock and anger, but it might’ve just eventually been…
Tybalt, Juliet’s cousin, was the living embodiment of the feud between the Capulet and Montague families. He represents the hatred the families share towards each other, showing how he has learnt from birth to hate the Montague family.

Juliet, regardless of being related to Tybalt, even knows that Romeo “lives, that Tybalt would have slain, And Tybalt’s dead, that would have slain [her] husband” (Shakespeare 3.2.115-118).…
Juliet’s perspective of love, marriage and relationships have changed throughout Romeo and Juliet. At the beginning of the play Juliet never thought about love or marriage and never considered love or marriage, for when her parents told her that they want her to marry Paris she asked how can I love someone if I don’t even know him. “I have never dreamed about marriage.” When Juliet’s family had a party Romeo snuck in and when Juliet saw him, she told the nurse that he is cute and she thinks she fell in love with Romeo at first sight. When Romeo started to sneak out and see Juliet the would talk about how they like each other but Juliet is still be cautious because she doesn’t know if they are going to feel about each other overnight, but the…

“Romeo and Juliet” is a play written by Shakespeare around 1950, which celebrates the beauty of love whilst also exploring the destructive nature of pride - the tragedy is made all the more poignant because both these elements of human nature are incorporated. The play is mostly about how love, not pride can affect people’s emotions. Shakespeare shows how love can be beautiful yet destructive. The tragedy is created when love and pride work together to create doomed circumstances for Romeo and Juliet.…
Every day we go through life struggles that affect our future. Yet, sometimes after dealing with these issues, for so long, they become a part of us. They become so real that we build our lives around these unpredictable events. William Shakespeare uses this theme to describe love in his play Romeo and Juliet. Through these two main characters he shows how love is something we cannot get rid of, instead something you will take to the grave. Just like a disease, the memory and scars will always be there to remind you of your journey.…

made her pulse slow( act 4, scene 3). The plan was to fake her death, and then send a message to Romeo, but the messenger wasn't able to get to him. Benvolio went to Romeo and told him Juliet was dead. Romeo was exceedingly heartbroken and decided to kill himself. When Juliet woke up and found Romeo dead, she was so distraught she took his dagger and stabbed herself (act 5 scene 3). All this seems a bit premature. There were several different options, but they were too immature to see it.…
Imagine two people in love that come from very different backgrounds. What kind of things should be important to make the relationship last? Most would agree that they are things like love, respect, kindness, and communication.

Romeo- Romeo's name is in the title, a pretty good hint that he's important. His name is also the final word in the play, and he does seem to undergo some sort of change, from lusting after the unavailable Rosaline to being in l-o-v-e with Juliet. So it's definitely arguable that the play is the story of Romeo's relationship with Juliet, rather than the other way around.…
Due to their hasty choices and irrational decisions, Romeo and Juliet's fateful story was full of nothing more than infatuation. Their story was definitely one of misfortune and bad timing; which had also contributed to their fatal demise. Maybe if Romeo and Juliet had met under different circumstances, or made more rational decisions their story would have a happier ending; which could’ve eventually resulted in true love. However their life has already happened, and there’s nothing to do about it at this point, but learn from their…
