Impulsive In Romeo And Juliet

Throughout Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, a play about two young lovers, bound together by fate, from opposite sides of feuding families, both Romeo and Juliet show suicidal impulses and end up taking their own lives over each other.

Romeo’s still shows his love for Juliet while she is laying “lifeless” in the catacomb when he looks at Juliet’s face and says his goodbyes to Juliet, and his life “And, lips, O, you / The doors of breath, seal with a righteous kiss. / A dateless bargain to engrossing death... Thy drugs are quick.

Impulsive decision making often results in unintended or undesired consequences. An impulsive or spur of the moment decision is made without planning or thought as to what may happen in the future. While not all decisions made in the moment are regrettable or ill advised, ultimately the person making the decision must deal with the consequences, which may have long-term ramifications; therefore, considering all possibilities before making important choices is highly advisable to reduce the chance of negatively impacting his/her future. There are numerous examples of impulsive decision-making in literary works. Romeo is an impulsive character.

Romeo takes this crush too far, and does not think through the effects of acting so impulsively, so he decides that his “love” for Juliet is so extreme that they must “...combine by holy marriage” (II. iii. 60-61). Romeo says this only a few hours after meeting Juliet, and yet he is completely convinced that this is the best thing for them to do.

In the play, Romeo and Juliet, we learned that Romeo is an impulsive and naïve character. There were many events that would clearly show his impulsive behavior. Such as the scene where Romeo is gazing at Rosaline during the Capulet's party, illustrating his love for her. Then, his stare lands on Juliet, and right at that moment he falls in love with her. Hmm...

Romeo and Juliet’s impulsiveness led to their deaths. In Romeo and Juliet, a tragedy by Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet kill themselves and blame fate. The deaths of Romeo and Juliet can be blamed on their impulsivity. They were impulsive when they fell in love, got married, and killed themselves.

Swedish Journalist, Stieg Larsson once said, “Impulsive actions lead to trouble, and trouble could have unpleasant consequences.” Romeo is a flawed character, and this becomes easier to realize throughout the duration of the play. He often reacted quickly, without thinking about the consequences. These are the impulsive actions mentioned in this quote. He had good intentions, but his intentions were not clear through his actions.

In the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, the main characters Romeo and Juliet portray the theme of impulsive behavior immensely. When Benvolio convinces his cousin Romeo to attend a Capulet party to get over his heartache for Rosaline, a woman who he loves dearly, he catches sight of a beautiful girl named Juliet. As Romeo is mesmerized by Juliet he says, “Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight! For ne’er saw true beauty till this night” (Act I Scene V 51). Romeo believes that he has never seen anyone as beautiful as Juliet before in his entire life. This portrays impulsive behavior because Romeo goes into the party still depressed about Rosaline, but the second he sees Juliet he is completely over Rosaline. After the

Throughout the play Romeo and Juliet there were many problems that occured. Such as the feud between the Capulets and the Montagues as well as Romeo and Juliet not being able to be together in peace. Romeo and Juliet make very poor decisions over and over again as a result of their “love” when in reality it’s just infatuation, you can be in love with someone after a few days of knowing them, it is something that develops over time as you get to know someone, which neither Juliet or Romeo had with each other. However, Romeo and Juliet should not be completely responsible for their impulsive behavior, there are some things that they should be but, they should not be for most of it.

The meddling parents, nurse, and friar made a huge impact on their decision to kill themselves so they could be together without any issues. But not only did the parents and other family figures take a part in their deaths so did their impulsiveness decision’s. Romeo and Juliet had a bad habit of reacting quickly without thinking before they did anything and that lead them to their graves. One of the most prominent themes throughout

Throughout the play, it is apparent that Romeo and Juliet are both simple-minded children who are unfamiliar to the realm of authentic love, unable to distinguish between lustfulness and true love. At the

In William Shakespeare’s play, The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, Romeo is frequently enamored with young women based upon their looks. Upon first seeing Juliet at the Capulet’s party, Romeo mutters to himself, “Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight!/ For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night” (Shakespeare I.V. 50-51). Though Romeo has been pining for Rosaline whom his friends and confidants seem to be aware of, upon first glance to Juliet he cries out that he had never seen true beauty until he saw her. This comment is what leads to Romeo’s conversation and profession of love to Juliet. He does not know her, has never spoken to her, and at this point does not even know that she is Lord Capulet’s only daughter. Yet, based upon her looks, he can express love and quickly forget about the woman whom he has fantasized about being with and was depressed over her lack of reciprocity of his love. This sudden change of heart and confession of love based upon outward beauty shows that teenagers such as Romeo are not capable of true love, but rather lust and physical attraction. Also in the play, Juliet shows her traitorous behavior towards her family and Tybalt, “Shall I speak ill of him that is my husband?/Ah, poor my lord, what tongue shall smooth thy name,/When I, thy three hours' wife, have mangled it?” (Shakespeare III.ii.99-101). Juliet is showing mercy toward Romeo even after he killed her cousin. She forgot her cousin whom she has known for many years for a person she has known for less than a day. That is a major problem in many teens that they tend to make rash decisions, that turn out to be harmful for them mostly because in the time period before adulthood

Because Romeo and Juliet is a play, nearly the entirety of it is spoken. One must pay attention to what is being said in order to understand the plot points that are left unsaid. While Romeo’s relationship with Juliet is portrayed as the epitome of true, passionate love, causing deaths left and right and breaking up feuds (5.3.306-308), Shakespeare keeps the couple’s actual interaction to a bare minimum. Romeo commits suicide when he sees Juliet seemingly dead (5.3.120), yet by the time this happens they have known each other for less than a week. Their relationship’s development is virtually nonexistent – Romeo sees Juliet and falls in love with her instantaneously (1.5.51-60). Although the play is conveyed mostly through speech and most characters’ words mean more than their actions, Juliet
