Hasty Quotes In Romeo And Juliet

When things are rushed, there are often negative consequences as a result. “Wisely and slow, they stumble fast that run,” advises Friar Lawrence from William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet (ii.iii. 94). Although many events occur in Romeo and Juliet, the whole plot of the play occurs during a span of five days. Five days is not enough time for two people to get to know each other and fall in love. Thus, it is obvious that the haste which occurs in Romeo and Juliet, plays a role in the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet.

Firstly, after meeting Juliet for the first time, Romeo falls hopelessly in love. He climbs the wall to her orchard; he drops in where a guard of the Capulet household could have killed him. But he thinks he is on “love’s light wings”(II.ii.30) When Juliet steps on her balcony, she scolds Romeo. But he tells Juliet that he would rather die than be without her love “And but thou love me, let them find me her… My life were better ended by their hate… Than death prorogued, wanting of thy love.” (II.ii.80-83) Romeo has only known Juliet for barely a night and he is already in love with her. He already wants a future with Juliet without even trying to get to know her. This shows how quite irrational Romeo is because he’s quick to judge. How does he

However, at the party he meets Juliet for the first time, and immediately falls in love with her: “Did my heart love till now? forswear it, sight! / For I ne’er saw true beauty till this night.” Romeo, who was in love with Rosaline until a moment ago, completely forgets about her and is now all focused on Juliet. But what is very surprising is not the fact that he is in love with his enemy’s daughter, the astonishing thing is the speed at which he falls in love with her. Soon, in fact, he and Juliet kiss each other: “Thus from my lips, by yours, my sin is purged.” However, Romeo’s characteristics to love so deeply Juliet is just a symbol of his lacking the capacity of moderation for intense feelings of all kind. Had Romeo stopped himself from being so deeply caught up by Juliet’s beauty, the tragedy would have never happened.

Romeo’s hasty attitude plays a huge role in his life, and this shows just before Romeo is about to enter the Capulet uninvited without thinking much about it. At first, Romeo goes to the party to see his thought-to-be love Rosaline, but than quickly changes

O happy dagger, This is thy sheath. There rust and let me die." (V.iii.183-184) then stabs herself. Juliet could have left with Friar, but she had a deep passion of love for Romeo. She takes her own life because of her love for Romeo, just like Romeo took his own because of his love for Juliet.

In the tragedy Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare uses the motif of haste to convey the message that when one acts without thinking it results in negative judgment which leads to unfavorable consequences. Evidence of Shakespeare’s motif is when Romeo, a Montague, meets Juliet, a Capulet, at a party for the first time, and immediately falls in love with her. He acts quickly and hastily and jumps into the Capulet garden to see Juliet, all in the same night. Since the Capulet and Montague households have been in a feud for several years, Romeo’s actions were not wise and could have resulted in his death. Juliet exclaims to Romeo, “The orchard walls are high and hard to climb, And the place death, considering who thou art, If any of my kinsmen find

On the other hand, when Juliet saw her husband’s dead body on the floor she chose to stab herself violently with a dagger, which reflects as a more dominant way to suicide. Romeo is an adjustable type of person, in the beginning of the play we see Romeo crying and weeping upon Rosaline but when he meets Juliet at the ball he changes his mind about Rosaline. While Juliet was being steady and remained constant and disregarded any ideas of marrying

When Romeo arrived to find Juliet’s “dead” body, he is too already too heartbroken to be thinking clearly, and with the poison he bought earlier he commits suicide; all in the name of love. “Death, that had suck’d the honey of thy breath, hath had no power yet upon thy beauty [...] worms that are thy chambermaids; O here will I set up my everlasting rest [...] Thus with a kiss i die. ”(IIIII.iii.92-120). The love that Romeo had for Juliet was too great for Romeo to just forget so for him the easiest way to deal with it was suicide.

Seemingly addicted to the idea of forfeiting their own lives, Romeo and Juliet frequently reference suicide as a backup plan for being unable to solve their problems and live out their love as planned. When Romeo believes that Juliet is dead, he goes to the apothecary on his trip back to Verona and begs for poison he can use to kill himself. This section, especially when he bargains with the apothecary, reveals that Romeo is at wit’s end with his options. At this point, he can no longer take the agony he feels from Juliet’s death, and his love for her completely eclipses common sense, leading to the self-fulfillment of his personal wish to

Throughout the characterization of both Romeo and Juliet, they have both made fast pace-decisions. Firstly, Romeo’s quick transition between his strong love for Rosaline to his immortal love for Juliet is unintelligent. Throughout the first act, Romeo is obsessed with Rosaline Capulet. He says, "the all-seeing sun ne'er saw her match since first the world begun"(1.2.95). This is important because it shows how fast Romeo makes quick decisions because as he said that he has seen nothing like her, but later that night at the ball he thinks Juliet is the most beautiful girl, without even knowing who she is. Juliet herself also says that their love for each other was too quick, as she also describes their love as, ‘is too rash, too unadvis’d, too sudden,’ (2.2.119). Secondly, the two lovers believe that they undoubtedly are in love. Their desire for each other is so strong that they believe that they can not survive without each other, which is the reason they get married. Prior to them getting married, Friar Lawrence warns Romeo and gives him advice on slowing things down. “These violent delights have violent ends/And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,/Which, as they kiss, consume./The sweetest honey/Is loathsome in his own deliciousness/And in the taste confounds the appetite./Therefore, love moderately. Long love doth so” (2.6.9-14). Which means that all these joys will have sudden endings. The Friar also says that these joys burn up in victory like when fire and gunpowder come in contact they explode. He goes on to say that honey does indeed taste delicious however, too much will make you indisposed. Therefore, love each other is infatuated because of their fast-paced choices. Lastly, Romeo and Juliet get married secretly without even consulting their parents once due to the fact that they thought their parents would never agree. However, Juliet's dad say that Romeo is a nice

It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night Like a rich jewel in an Ethiope’s ear, Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear.” Romeo says to himself “did my heart love till now” (1.5.50). He was in love with Juliet at first sight, even though they never spoked. Juliet refused to let Romeo touch her, but later she lets him kiss her. Fate has made them test their devotion, when Romeo realizes Juliet is a Capulet, and therefore.

When decisions are rushed negative consequences are sure to arise, “Wisely and slow, they stumble fast that run,” advises given from Friar Laurence of William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Several rash decisions are shown in full effect over the course of the play. The entire play is over a span of five days. Five days is not nearly enough time to get to know someone, fall in love with them, and get married. This haste in marriage plays a key role in the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, and although fate takes a role in the play, Romeo and Juliet's hasty and reckless decision making ultimately lead to their demise.

Romeo’s vision is clouded by his illusion of love and that prevents him from being emotionally prepared to marry. Romeo believes that he is in love with Juliet. That notion is fine, but the problem occurs because his decision is based purely off of physical beauty, and only a brief glance at that. He also came to the party, at which he met Juliet, loving Rosaline. After a brief glance and two kisses, he decides that he is in love with her. His lack of emotional attachment and physical love is especially evident when he sinks into depression after hearing of his banishment. Him saying, “Heav'n is here

He describes it more as “a madness most discreet” and “a choking gall”. Romeo seems to believe that love is a dangerous game that he should not play. This leads up to Romeo and Juliet’s precarious relationship and gives insight on what happens further on. Later on in the play, Romeo is at the point where he thinks Juliet is dead. He sees his true love in the casket and realizes that he can not live without her. Taking the potion to kill himself, he says, “How oft when men are at the point of death/ Have they been merry, which their keepers call/ A light’ning before death” (5.3.88-91). Romeo knows that in order to be with his wife, he needs to kill himself. Shakespeare is trying to tell his audience that when Romeo is “at the point of death”, he is willing to do almost anything to see his wife alive again. This treacherous and passionate

The devastated Romeo, upon hearing the news of his loved one’s death, thinks only about seeing Juliet one last time before he plans to kill himself, as he can not bear to be in a world without her. Immediately, Romeo takes to the streets of Mantua in search of an apothecary, who agrees to sell him a fast-working poison. Romeo plans to take the poison at the Capulet’s tomb after he says one final farewell to Juliet; so they can forever be with each other. Standing over Juliet’s dead body, Romeo says: “Come, cordial and not poison go with me, To Juliet’s grave; for there must I take thee.” (V, i, 85-86) Romeo takes the vial and dies by Juliet’s side in the tomb. Upon awakening moments later, Juliet sees Romeo dead on the floor, and in her despair, takes his dagger and stabs herself with it: “Then I’ll be brief. O happy dagger, This is thy sheath. There rust and let me die.” (V, iii, 182-183) Because Balthasar quickly takes news of Juliet’s death to Romeo who acts irrationally, he buys poison and returns to Verona, leading to both his and Juliet’s
