Emotion is a wild card in life. It almost always influences people to make bad decisions in their life, and causes harm to not only the host, but to many other people around them. In the play Romeo and Juliet, the characters Romeo, Juliet, and Tybalt are all very emotional characters which conclusively lead to all of their deaths, as well as to the deaths of many other people around them.

Juliet is not unlike the typical young women constantly struggling to find happiness and acceptance from those who are closest to her. Young Juliet must confront the harsh reality that exists between her and those who profess to be her friends and family, which is they failed to support her, love her, and lift her up with she needed it most. In the timeless book, “Romeo & Juliet” William Shakespeare writes a moving story about the betrayal, disappointment, love, and eventual death of Romeo and Juliet. No reader can truly appreciate and understand the level of Juliet’s struggles without first understanding the roles the Lord Capulet, Friar Lawrence and Romeo, their betrayal and their role in her faithful decision.

When analysing Romeo and Juliet it becomes apparent that while the two main characters’ lives were said to be predetermined by fate, it is Romeo's deep love for Juliet that acts as the catalyst that sets his fate into motion. Romeo was bound to love juliet but it was Romeo’s deep love for juliet that gets Romeo in to trouble. Additionally, Romeo gets to caught up in the one and only love of his life and when all the sudden it was gone he decided to kill himself. Although Romeo stated, “with love's light wings did I o’erperch these walls”( 2.2.73-75). This would prove that know matter what happens romeo will always go after Juliet/love Juliet. Ultimately, it is Romeo who is to romantic therefor creating the fate for himself and Juliet.

Fate is defined as, ‘the development of events outside a person’s control, regarded as predetermined by a supernatural power’. In the time in which ‘Romeo and Juliet’ was written, many people were strong believers of fate and it was a common belief in society. William Shakespeare was a famous poet who is recognised for his powerful writing and contribution to the English language. One of William Shakespeare’s highly recognised plays is ‘Romeo and Juliet’ written in the late 1500’s. It is a play about two star-crossed lovers alongside fate who by their death end the feud between the Montagues and the Capulets. In ‘Romeo and Juliet’, Friar Laurence is not to blame for the tragic events which occurs in the play due to the fact that other

“A man's greatest pleasure is to defeat his enemies, to drive them before him, to take from them that which they possessed, to see those whom they cherished in tears, to ride their horses, and to hold their wives and daughters in his arms.”, said Genghis Khan, ruler of the Mongol Empire. Shakespeare expands on this idea in his famous novel Romeo and Juliet. Romeo and Juliet tells a tale of two “star crossed lovers” born of rival families whose feud is continued by men battling in the streets, the two lovers try to get married and start a life together which is halted by the violence of men when Mercutio, Romeo’s friend was slain by Tybalt and Tybalt was slain by Romeo. Romeo’s brutality caused for him to be banished from Verona, a plan was

In this act and scene, the lovers' disobeying brings punishment to Romeo. In the previous example, Tybalt, Mercutio, and Romeo have a fight which leads to two deaths. In the end of this act/ scene Romeo kills Tybalt. After that part of the scene, Tybalt and Mercutio's bodies are discovered. Romeo has already fled in order to not get killed.

The Prince displays this by laying down laws, however does not realize that his inconsistent decisions is letting the conflict between the two families continue. In the beginning of the play, Prince had announced that, “If you ever disturb our streets again, / Your lives shall pay the forfeit of the peace” (1.189-90). The use of hyperbole exaggerates the Prince’s statement stating he will kill anyone who kills another. However, the Prince does not stay true to his words when another destructive conflict appears. Tybalt had killed Mercutio and Romeo decided to step in and causes the death of Tybalt. At the Montague point, Romeo had done what any law would have otherwise done, killed Tybalt. The Prince had soften the punishment for Romeo and decided that he should be banished from Verona. The Prince may have done this to prevent further conflict between the two families. The Prince should have not soften the punishment for Romeo because he made an unfair decision to stay against his words and caused Romeo to be far away from his secret wife, Juliet. He should have decided Romeo’s punishment based on his decisions instead of picking sides when he found out that his friend, Mercutio, had died. Like mentioned, in the scene the Prince’s decisions leads Romeo being far away from Juliet which is the main reason that leads to the downfall of Romeo and Juliet. Another reason where

In the play Romeo and Juliet, the theme of devotion is expressed by the complex relationship dynamics that change over the course of the story. Romeo and Juliet’s conflicting familial ties, Mercutio’s polarized bonds, and Friar Lawrence’s well-intended plans for peace exemplify Shakespeare’s use of this key theme. By using multiple series of plot devices that lead characters to a critical decision point with two opposing choices, Shakespeare makes these once immutably loyal characters reconsider their points of view when faced with moral dilemmas. Romeo and Juliet become the main focus of this theme by virtue of the weight that their decisions hold on the future of the two families.

Romeo makes his way to the balcony and professes his undying love for her. They agree to marry and with the help of Friar Laurence, who hopes to bring the two feuding houses together. He marries them secretly the next day, Tybalt is still angry and challenges Romeo to a duel but Romeo refuses to fight because they are kinsmen now. Tybalt just doesn’t know it yet. Mercutio, a kinsman of Prince Escula and Romeo’s friend, is mad that Romeo won’t defend himself so he accepts Tybalt’s challenge to a dual. Romeo tries to break up the fight and somehow Mercutio is killed. Romeo is so mad and full of grieve that he kills Tybalt. When word gets out of the deaths, the houses begin feuding even more. The House of Montague says that Romeo had every right to kill Tybalt. Prince Escuela exiles Romeo because he is so mad that the families are fighting again. He tell Romeo to never return or he will die. Juliet is so upset that Romeo is exiled. Her parents, Lord and Lady Capulet, mistake her sadness and agrees to marry her to Count Paris. If she does not, she will be disowned. Juliet visits Friar Laurence for help and he gives her a sleeping potion that will put her in a deathlike coma. The Friar tells her that he will send a note to Romeo to let him know of the plan they have come up with. The night before her wedding to

Juliet is the daughter of Lord and Lady Capulet. When the play begins, we learn from the nurse that Juliet is soon turning fourteen (“Even or odd, of all the days in the year come Lammas-Eve at night shall she be fourteen”). In Juliet's first meeting with her mother and the nurse, she seems to be an obedient and responsible child. She comes immediately when they call her and answers always respectfully to her mother: "Madam, I am here, / What is your will?" (“Act 1, Scene 3). She is also clever as when her mother asks her what she thinks about marriage, she gives an ambiguous answer by saying what her mother wanted to hear really: “it is an honour I dream not of” (“Act 1, Scene 3). We learn that she is

First, in act one, scene one, Tybalt draws his sword and challenges Benvolio in the courtyard of Verona. Meanwhile, Benvolio consults with Tybalt. He is only trying to keep the peace, whether that meant to convince Tybalt to put away his sword, or help and use it to stop the fight in the courtyard between the Montagues and the Capulets, the two houses. Second, during the ball that Lord Capulet arranged for Juliet, Tybalt saw Romeo with Juliet. Tybalt tells his servant to fetch his rapier. Third, Tybalt delivers a letter to Romeo challenging him to a duel because he went to the ball and was dancing with Juliet, a Capulet. “This by his voice, should be a Montague, fetch me my rapier boy. What dares to slave. Come hither, covered with an antic face, to flee and scorn at our solemnity? Now, by the stock and honor of my kin, to strike him dead I hold it not a sin.” (I, vi, 56-61). Tybalt tells his page to get his sword. Tybalt wants to honor his family by killing Romeo, a Montague. Given these points, Tybalt’s aggressive attitude leads to Romeo’s banishment of
