Choices In Romeo And Juliet

In the two stories The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet and Pyramus and Thisby they both were star-crossed lovers and made their own choices throughout the stories. For example they chose to love each other even though they knew it wouldn't end well. Personal choices affect the characters more than destiny because they decided to get married and they killed themselves.

Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare early in his career about two star-crossed lovers whose deaths ultimately reconcile their feuding families. Both Romeo and Juliet are young and sprightly teenagers, Romeo being 15-16 and Juliet with the age of 13. They are teens that make impulsive decisions without thinking about the consequences. David Dobbs the author of the article “Beautiful Brains” explains why teenagers act the way they do throughout scientific research and studies. This article helps to understand Romeos and Juliets actions which led to their deaths.

Ovid’s PT and Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet can both be a very hard story to read and interpret. The characters are constantly following things that pop up in their mind and coincidentally happening. I believe that in both stories Destiny has the greatest impact on multiple things but the main controversial topic is personal choices. That's why I believe in Ovid’s PT and Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, Destiny had a greater impact on characters.

“There are no rewards or punishments---only consequences”, this was said by writer, professor, and priest William Ralph Inge. Romeo and Juliet has great lessons everyone can learn from. The two main characters seem to be a little lost in their love for each other in this long twisted play where nothing seems to go right. The story shows that secrets lead to more problems and that lying just brings more trouble to a person. William Shakespeare wrote this play, named The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, which tells of a love story between Romeo and Juliet and how it affected family, friends, and enemies.

In Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare, we are shown that while relying on emotions can lead to benefits when decision making, it also is able to lead to more dire consequences, including, depression, rash decisions, and harm to others. In Act 1 of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, Romeo’s emotional state moves from fragile to an astonished state.

In William Shakespeare's play “Romeo and Juliet”, a tragedy, two young star-crossed lovers marry and set in stone, a course of bad decisions, which leads to their untimely death. Romeo a Montague and Juliet a Capulet are part of two feuding families, who against their parents wishes marry and with their death, end their parents feud. Throughout the play these two teenagers make irrational decisions leading to their death, which can be explained through scientific data collected by studies on teenage brains and sleep deprivation. Teenage brains are underdeveloped until the age of 25 causing teenagers to act without thinking and lack of sleep leads to teenagers reacting negatively to news. Romeos irrational actions of killing Tybalt and

Twelve of Shakespeare’s plays are tragedies, including Romeo and Juliet. But could their deaths have been prevented? Maybe if Friar Laurence had made wiser choices, and more realistic choices. There isn’t a predominant character to blame for this tragedy, however some might argue that Friar Laurence has the most blood on his hands. Friar Laurence made well-intentioned poor decisions that led to Romeo and Juliet’s death. These decisions include secretly marrying Romeo and Juliet, giving Juliet the potion to fake her death, and failing to get the important letter delivered to Romeo.

One of the most seasoned and most verbalized about inquiries ever is whether our lives are represented by destiny or by our own decision. William Shakespeare, in Romeo and Juliet, brings this question to the surface. In spite of the fact that destiny appears to control what transpires to Romeo and Juliet their decisions contribute more to their destiny than destiny itself. Albeit a few reasons that Romeo and Juliet pass on are out of their control destiny is not the most sizably voluminous reason that the sweethearts wind up biting the dust.

Everyone will have to make a split decision for themselves, it’s a common part of life. Most of these decisions are insignificant to your later life, yet some of these can really change a person, whether that be good or bad. Romeo and Juliet's massive butterfly effect of misfortune helps demonstrate how split decisions can lead to massive changes in your overall life, whether that be positive or negative. On one side of split decisions, it can lead to very bad consequences. In the novel Romeo and Juliet Mercutio, Romeo’s best friend, was slain in a sword fight by Juliet’s cousin Tybalt.

I said before no, and that is what i am saying now i do not think that other people's opinions should affect your own choices or destiny. I believe this because you should do what you want, what makes you happy. It doesn't matter what other people are thinking as long as you're happy with what you're doing in your life it shouldn't matter what others think. All of the stories that I read about star crossed lovers demonstrated this by being with the person that they were not allowed to see and that should have been their enemy.

People today live in a society where everyone has the right of free will and the freedom to make decisions for themselves. William Shakespeare showed throughout the play, Romeo and Juliet, how the choices people make and the actions people take can help determine their futures. For example, Romeo stepping into Tybalt and Mercutio's fight was a choice that affects Romeo. Along with, Prince deciding to exile Romeo instead of killing him and Romeo being so quick to drink the poison.

The idea of destiny taking a part in the death or Romeo and Juliet has been around for a long time. They meet, fall in love, and eventually die. While these event are tragic it wasn’t meant to happen this way. Romeo and Juliet were not victims of destiny, but victims of their own hasty decisions. The play starts in the city of Verona.

Shakespeare does this by noting how Romeo and Juliet do not actually love each other. This is represented by Romeo and Juliets actions and rash decision making. Their decisions are very impulsive and rushed. As a result, it impacted them negatively in the future and as well as their relationship. Romeo and Juliet’s love for each other is not actually how love really is. They’ve mistakenly confused lust for love.

Does love really make you do crazy things? You should learn from Romeo and Juliet that you shouldn’t let your love come before everyone else. For every big decision Romeo and Juliet make was made from them sacrificing everything else just to be together. There are really unnecessary deaths and decisions also risks made when they could’ve just avoided the whole thing. If they would’ve just told their family from when they since found out each other’s identity, they would have not died.

In the beginning of the play, Romeo is young and carefree, he loves Rosaline and then Juliet. He is in love with the fact that he is in love. Romeo in this case is the tragic hero, his tragic flaw is his immaturity and fickle traits. Benvolio and Mercutio make fun of Romeo in the beginning because he is always in love. Romeo goes to this party thinking that no girl is prettier than Rosaline, but when he goes and meets Juliet he thinks she is the most beautiful, and that fate brought them together. Romeo acts on this fate to make it permanent despite the several obstacles. Romeo says before the party at the Capulet’s, “I fear, too early, for my mind misgives-Some consequence yet hanging in the stars-shall bitterly begin
