Consequences Of Romeo And Juliet

The Friar had good intentions when he married Romeo and Juliet, as shown in this quote, “For this alliance may so happy prove/ To turn your households’ rancour to pure love” (2.4.91-92). In this quote, Friar Lawrence explains his reasoning behind marrying Romeo and Juliet, he thought that by marrying the two, he could stop the feud. This did not work as no one told the rest of the families and the Capulets tried to marry Juliet to Paris. The Friar also failed to get the letter to Romeo that would have told him that Juliet wasn’t dead. If Romeo had received this letter, he would not have committed suicide in Juliet's grave when he returned to Verona. Also, if the Friar had gotten to Juliet’s grave any earlier, he could have saved both Romeo and Juliet. The following quote is from the final scene of the play, “Miscarried by my fault, let my old life / Be sacrificed, some hour before this time, / unto the rigour of the severest law” (5.3.271-274). In this scene, the Friar admits the part that he played in Romeo and Juliet’s deaths. He volunteers himself to be punished for this, but the rest of the families and the Prince don't want to punish him. Although he meant well, Friar Lawrence’s actions resulted in the deaths of Romeo and

Hindsight is always 20/20. Too many times we see people fail to consider the consequences of their actions, then wish they could go back and stop themselves of ever doing what they did. We can see examples of this from Romeo, Juliet, Elaine, Holden, and others in each of their respective stories. If these characters considered either their short-term consequence, long term, or just were aware of their surroundings, they’d have lived much happier lives. Just take a second, observe what's happening, and think ahead of what might the outcome of your actions will be.

William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet focus on the two young lovers, Romeo and Juliet, who fall in love and die within a span of three days. Romeo and Juliet illustrate how the love brings them together to over power the control of their relationship. The moment that Romeo and Juliet declare their love for one another, they try to keep their love a secret since they are the children of the feuding families, the Montagues and the Capulets. Initially their families would be outraged against their relationship that Romeo and Juliet propose to hide the truth of their love. Once Romeo and Juliet reveal to the Nurse and Friar Lawrence their plans to marry, their relationship is nothing but a risk of problems. Romeo is unafraid to show his love that he teases Tybalt teasing him about falling in love with Juliet, although not explicitly. However, the deaths of Mercutio and Tybalt, occur when Romeo and Juliet take actions to protect themselves, but they are not however, protected. Juliet protects her relationship by committing a false death only for Romeo to believe it as true. As a result, the act to protect Romeo and Juliet’s relationship a secret are examples of the failed actions both Romeo and Juliet try to prevent; however, it is not ‘fate’ that control their lives and deaths.

The play, Romeo and Juliet, written by William Shakespeare, is about a tragedy of two star crossed lovers who want nothing more than to be together forever. “…Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, And I’ll no longer be a Capulet.” (2.2.35-36) Romeo, a Montague, who is young and passionate, meets Juliet at a Capulet party. When they meet, it’s love at first sight. Juliet, a Capulet, is a beautiful young lady tired of being controlled by her father, Lord Capulet.

In the course of four and a half days, Romeo and Juliet plan their marriage with the help of Priest Friar Laurence and Juliet’s Nurse. After the couple is married,

“If you are not willing to risk the unusual, you will have to settle for the ordinary”(Jim Rohn). For the most part to acquire what you want you will have to take a gamble which may or may not pay off. Taking a risk is doing something which you do not know what the outcome will be in order to achieve what you want. Consequences are the outcomes of our actions. Most people believe that both risks and consequence are bad things, but as bad as people might think they are they can be just as good as they can be bad. In Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare develops the idea that the consequences of taking risks can often be very pleasing and worthy. In other words, risks are worth taking and the consequences can be very gratifying. Romeo yearn

Lastly, Friar Lawrence made a huge mistake of leaving Juliet alone because he cared more about himself. We know this because he says, “Stay not to question, for the Watch is coming;come,go, good Juliet, I dare no longer stay” (5.3.158-159). He tries to make it seem like he is looking out for her but when he runs away, it shows he does not care about anyone else other than himself.

Friar Lawrence is shocked to know that Romeo is in love with someone after he was so passionate about another girl the day before. At first, he does not agree to marry them but does it anyway with a hidden agenda of fixing the feud. Friar Laurence proclaims, "Is Rosaline, whom thou didst love so dear, / So soon forsaken? Young men’s love then lies/ Not truly in their hearts, but in their eyes." (2.3.66-69). Friar Laurence soon sees how passionate they are and agree to help them reunite towards the end.

Romeo and Juliet came to the Friar for help to make a plan to stay together, only to find that the Friar helped them for his own selfish reasons. The two feuding families, the Capulet and the Montagues have not gotten along for years, but when Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet fell in love, the Friar saw it as an opportunity to bring the two families closer together once and for all. On page 377, lines 1-4 the Prologue confirms the two families hate, “Two households, both alike in dignity, In fair verona, where we lay our scene.” (Shakespeare 377)

Good Morning members of the Jury. In the play Romeo and Juliet written by William Shakespeare. It is difficult to place the blame entirely on just one person for the death of Romeo and Juliet, because there were several aspects that played a part in their death and because their lives had been controlled, criticized, pressurized and influenced by many people around them. However, the people who would be most influential in the death of the ‘star-cross’d lovers’ would have to be the parents of Romeo and Juliet, Lord and Lady Capulet and Lord and Lady Montague. The first reason that the parents are to be blamed is because of the eternal feud between the Montagues and the Capulets, and this prohibited the love of Romeo and Juliet.

When people do not take the time to think things through, and instead rush into them, the repercussions can outweigh the benefits. In Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, Friar Lawrence warns Romeo “they stumble that run fast” (II.3). The Friar knows that Romeo’s quick actions may lead to large consequences, although he still agrees to marry the two lovers that same day. Both Romeo and Juliet show haste in their feelings. In addition, Capulet rushes into creating a marriage for Juliet without considering her reaction.

The two families in the play named the Capulets and the Montagues had a long hatred for each other. For instance, they had fights in the streets simply, because a servant bit his thumb at the Montagues, which was a derogatory gesture. Of course, this kind of drama between the families made a great story opportunity for the author to make the daughter Juliet Capulets and the son Romeo Montagues to fall in love. The fighting between families would have probably went on for years until an unforeseen death of their children happened. There are many different foil characters and situations in the play Romeo and Juliet, which causes lots of confusion to the characters in the story.
