William Shakespeare’s famous play Romeo and Juliet is filled with serious decisions. The two title “star-crossed lovers,” Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet, not only decide to get married mere days after their first meeting, but also choose to carry out a ridiculous plan to avoid an unwanted marriage and eventually kill themselves (prologue). Although such subject matter is not often found in young adult novels, the impulsivity of this behavior is a mark of Romeo and Juliet’s teenage inexperience. Their immaturity ultimately results in drastic consequences— namely, their own deaths; however, their naiveté was not a hazard for the entirety of the play. The way it affects their decisions and relationships with others changes over time, different at the start of the book before they meet than at the end, when they both finally make the monumental decision to commit suicide. Before they first encounter each other, Romeo and Juliet’s immaturity is harmless, but after their first meeting and as their relationship develops, it begins to prove dangerous.
One of Shakespeares most renowned plays, Romeo and Juliet, revolves around two teenages one Montague and one Capulet, who love each other forbiddenly due to the enmity between their families. Their love spirals out of hand until they cannot live without each other. They live their life in discretion and face many obstacles and make hasty decisions. Romeo and Juliet had made poor choices that were mainly advised from the nurse, someone Juliet looked up to. Their relationship ends with the loss of two lives.
Romeo’s assumption that he can do little to change the course of his life and his commitment to death is continually discussed throughout the literary criticism, “Romeo and Death”, written by Marilyn L. Williamson. After the murder of Tybalt, Romeo’s anomalous reaction to his banishment entails that he is meant for an early death; for example, Williamson portrays, “After killing Tybalt his attitude intensifies, and he becomes active in his pursuit of death, first verbally and then in deed. When the Prince banishes Romeo, Shakespeare makes clear that the youth’s reaction of calling banishment death and his total despair at the sentence are strange attitudes in the face of events” (Williamson 130). Despite the Prince’s clemency toward Romeo,
William Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet is arguably one of the greatest and most heart-breaking tragedies of all time. Two lovers, Romeo and Juliet, meet at the young ages of 16 and 13, fall in love, get married and die, all within the span of three days. The lovers take their own lives, but the blame for their deaths can be placed solely on Romeo and his impulsive behaviour. Romeo is always very quick to act on his feelings, but he tends not to think before he does so, which is apparent when he instantly falls in love with Juliet and decides to marry her, when he kills Tybalt despite the consequences and when he takes his own life immediately upon seeing Juliet in her tomb.
William Shakespeare's ‘The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet’ is a tale about two children from rivalry houses who fall deeply in love with each other after meeting at a party. The two lovers get married, yet due to the fact they cannot be together and other events in between, both characters commit suicide at the end, leaving their families heartbroken and the readers in awe. With the crude lines with explicit meaning, two rivalries falling in love, and the death of these two lovers, this can certainly be called a tragedy. However, although the original story is a tragedy, it can be easily spotted that this is nothing more than a sad comedy. With explicit scenes, terrible characters, this story is exposed to be nothing more than a farce of a tragedy and more a comedy. Juliet is a psychotic character, Romeo is a suicidal rabbit, and most of the script is very lewd and explicit. All of these elements create a more laughable story, tragedy in some ways, yet cringe-worthy and laughable. The double suicides, the multiple
Two star-crossed lovers in a city full of hate take their own lives, thinking it is the right thing to do. Many who commit suicide think death is the only way out. Out of their pain, sorrow, and heartbreak, but it is not the only option. For Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet suicide is not the only option. Three alternatives Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet could have chosen instead are the pair sneaking out of Verona after Romeo Montague’s banishment, telling friends and family about the secret wedding, or having a secret meeting with Romeo Montague, Juliet Capulet, Friar Laurence, and the Nurse of the Capulets.

I have always been interested in Greek and Roman mythology their roles in modern society. Erebus and Aurora is a spin on Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet”. I changed the Capulets into Romans and the Montagues into Greeks. This allowed me to shown my own interpretation of Romeo and Juliet and give insight into how I view the personalities of the gods. Since the publication of Percy Jackson in 2005, people have become more interested in the Greek and Roman Gods so I think that Erebus and Aurora will appeal to a modern audience.
