Act 2 Scene 2 romeo says, “ With love’s light wings did I o’erperch these walls, for stony limits cannot hold love out, an what love can do, that dares love attempt. Therefore thy kingsmen are no let to me. Act 2 Scene 2 romeo says, “ The exchange of thy love’s faithful vow for mine. “ Romeo should have never even asked juliet to marry him so suddenly in the first place. Also

Making mistakes are a natural part of what makes us humans. It is our flaw because no one is perfect, but those that are wise, learn from them. I do not consider a mistake a mistake unless there was no common sense used. Using common sense before making a mistake usually has a better, less harmful, outcome and could be avoided next time it happens.
