Fate used Romeos fatal flaw of impetuousness in act 1 scene 4, Romeo reads out a guest list for a

One of William Shakespeare’s most renown plays, set in Verona where two young star-crossed lovers; Romeo and Juliet met in tragedy as their family feud bound their love within solemn hatred. The Montagues and the Capulets are two families of equal powers who’s prolonged bitter quarrel leads to the tragic death of these two lovers, and by their love reconciled the family’s hatred. Love is a predominant theme within this novel portrayed through the eyes of Romeo and Juliet, however, the maternal endearment between Juliet and her nurse can not be denied.

I knew of Romeo and Juliet’s relationship before their deaths took place. Romeo entrusted me with his secret and asked me to bring a rope ladder to Juliet’s nurse. This rope ladder would help Romeo sneak into the Capulet house to meet with Juliet. I was surprised about their relationship at first, but I knew that Romeo sincerely had his heart set on Juliet and nothing could change that. I was completely willing to follow all of my master’s orders and keep his secret because I saw how much joy Juliet brought to him.

Romeo’s friends think that taking him to the party will help take his mind off Rosaline. They hope that seeing her around other women will make her seem less attractive.

The least involved was the Friar. He agreed to have them married when he knew and warned them about the problems it would most likely involve. Right off the story you know that the Capulet and Montague families hate each other. The story began with Benvolio and Tybalt fighting in the streets, then the parents came and saw what was happening.

“Definitely not. We can expect a fight. I guarantee bloodshed. We’re going to have to be cunning and move quickly. When we’re ready, we will also need muscle.”

5. Lady Capulet goes to tell Juliet about the plans for the marriage between Juliet and Paris.

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

"Maybe you should be afraid, then, because if I had my way you wouldn't be alive for much longer."

Romeo as we all know was born into a Noble family, but a feuding family no less, who have endured a harsh and long conflict with their rivals the Capulets. Much unlike the rest of the family, he grew up a sensitive and caring boy with a unique love for reading, walking in the gardens, and of course his innate love for women. It was at this time of growth that I met him as a child and soon I would become his tutor. Quite more often than not, Romeo would visit me during the night or a summer afternoon in my cell to discuss and confide with me the problems and issues he faced. Through these dialogues we engaged in over the years I came to learn the kind of person Romeo was, and the

ROMEO- I dreamt a dream tonight. MERCUTIO- And so did I. ROMEO- Well, what was yours?

6. Romeo decides to go with Benvolio not to look for other girls but to look at Rosaline and no one else since his heart is set on Rosaline and her alone, or so he thinks.

Juliet is a thirteen-year old girl who had not even begun to think of marriage, but after being enchanted by Romeo, she believes she is truly in love. Juliet is summoned by the Nurse to begin the lecture from Lady Capulet about her marrying Paris. Juliet’s mother sought the Nurse’s advice because she

The young child does not like this advice at all, which causes her to completely leave behind a relationship she has been building for the last thirteen years. This whole ordeal causes the reader to see Juliet as a stubborn, selfish child. When Juliet disobeys her nurse, she separates herself from everyone, as the nurse acts as her connection and counselor. This leaves the young newlywed alone with no help or advisor, which allows her story to be a mystery to the majority of the public in Verona and the reader to think that Juliet cares very little about her family and relationships that do not involve her fiance. Juliet quickly distances herself from her life and close friends. Not only does the selfish girl abandon her nurse’s advice but completely ignores and disrespects her parents and society’s rules, “to bear a poison, I would temper it, that Romeo should, upon receipt thereof, soon sleep in
