Uncontrolled Emotions In Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet
Emotions are our motivation for everything we do, but it can also lead us into trouble when they go awry. Uncontrolled emotions cause us to act irrationally, which, more time than not, leads the characters in Shakespeare's ‘Romeo and Juliet’ to tragedy. Anger, Love, and Grief are of the most difficult to abstain from acting upon, and lead to the worse consequences.
First, lets see the effects of anger in the play when not controlled. In Act 3, Scene 1, The first tragedy of the play takes place. Tybalt is searching for Romeo, angry, because he went to a Capulet party uninvited. After Romeo refuses to fight Tybalt, Mercutio steps up to do so. Mercutio is slain by Tybalt, and Romeo says this, “And fire-eyed fury by my conduct now!” (3.1.119).
