Rewards In Romeo And Juliet

Some people believe that love make teens do crazy things. In the play Romeo kills him self because he thinks Juliet is dead. He kills himself so he can be with her he says he cant live without her He also killed himself because he would have been killed if he didn’t choose to kill himself. As a result, Romeo kills himself then Juliet wakes up and kills herself because Romeo dies and she wants to die with him an be with him forever.

Juliet expressed her love for Romeo by stating “My only love sprung from my only hate.” In Shakespeare’s play, Romeo and Juliet, there are many examples in which the main characters show lack of common sense. Romeo and Juliet were from two houses that had a fued, yet they managed to find love in the desperate of times. The play was based around the tragic, yet romantic, story of the forbidden star-crossed lover. However, some of the impulsive choices made throughout the play question whether what Romeo and Juliet had was love or lust. Many studies although have proved that the lack of common knowledge is because of the undeveloped brain. With this, scientists have dug deeper and found out that the reward system for adolescents is highly superior to the risk factor. Knowing this valuable information, some may conclude that the decisions made in the play might have

After simply being banished, Romeo seeks to take his life, without realizing that he is in a better situation than others (including his dead friend, Mercutio). Not understanding how his life will impact others, he makes the decision to die. Eventually, the Friar, an adult figure with a developed mind, steps in and uses reason, which Romeo lacks. Not only does Romeo act in such a manner, but Juliet also shares the same characteristic. After meeting Romeo at the Capulet’s party, knowing him for about 1 minute, Juliet kisses him, and they seek marriage. This is despite her saying later on that ”Although I joy in thee, / I have no joy of this contract tonight. / It is too rash, too unadvised, too sudden” (Shakespeare II.ii 116-118). As Juliet is still a teenager, however, her animal instincts get the best of her, and they get married the next day. Through this, it is shown that while teenagers may know how to deal with things rationally (like Juliet’s little blurb on how she shouldn’t marry), their undeveloped minds get the better of them, and they go with their natural flow.

I gather this because evidence has been shown that teenager’s brains are impetuous and impulsive. In the article “Teenage Brains are Malleable and Vulnerable, Researchers Say”, by Jon Hamilton, readers can see that in paragraph 4 it states, “studies suggest that adolescent brains are ‘wired’ to engage in risky behavior”. These activities include drugs, unsafe sex, and drinking. Obviously, teenagers are drawn towards these acts while knowing that they are morally and ethically wrong. In “Romeo and Juliet”, the readers see actions of “love” between the two star-crossed soulmates. The audience

“Thou wretched boy, that didst consort him here, shalt with him hence’’ (232). Tybalt’s Adolescence causes him to not to second think about what he is doing, and chaos breaks out again between the Montagues and the Capulets. Chaos among adolescence only results in greater problems. After Romeo has heard the news that Juliet is ‘dead’ he believes that it would be a good idea to get a poison that would kill him. “There is thy gold worse poison to men’s souls’’ (268). Romeo comes up with a plan to take his life and doesn’t second guess himself which is apart of the adolescence experience, not thinking things through beforehand. Romeo thinks that as if his actions will not effect anyone else but himself.When a younger individual is angered it will result in a foolish matter.Juliet believes that it is a good idea to take her life if she marries Paris and can’t be with Romeo.Juliet rushes over to the church so she can speak to Friar Lawrence about her not wanting to marry Paris. “O, bid me leap, rather than marry Paris’’ (255). Adolescence results in chaos when one doesn’t think before doing. Juliet doesn’t think before says she is going to kill herself because she has to marry Paris. When one is at a young age they don’t really know

They were focusing on trying to find the quickest way to sew together their torn emotions. Romeo was struggling to put back the pieces of his heart that were shattered by Rosaline, while Juliet was determined that the perfect man for her was not Paris. "...the period from roughly 15 to 25 brings peaks in all sorts of risky ventures and ugly outcomes,” (Dobbs). It is already common for teenagers to make cheap decisions, but it can become worse when strong emotions are added. Teenagers take plenty of risks due to their heart-felt decision making. When these damaged teens first met each other they were prone to making quick decisions, like falling for each other without thinking about the consequences

“Romeo and Juliet” is an amazing tragedy about two people which love each other and the whole world says no. This tragedy shows that impulsivity doesn’t always lead to a happy ending “ These violent delights have violent ends.”(Ⅱ,ⅵ,9) and that thinking over an action twice is a good decision. With the help of the article “Beautiful Brains” Romeo’s and Juliet’s actions are more understandable due to the slow process of brain development in

The teenage brain Teenagers are known for many things but especially for being unpredictable. They don’t think things through and are always making a scene. Many articles have been written to improve our knowledge and understand these behaviours. Research shows that a teenager’s brain doesn’t begin to resemble that of an adult until the early 20’s (TBHKI). Typical adolescent mannerism is well demonstrated all throughout the play Romeo and Juliet.

In some instances Shakespeare’s Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet is becoming more and more revelant in daily life. Expecially with depression and suicide because of love. For the boys and girls that do not feel the need to read or watch the story will never know Juliet and Romeo’s story and how it could affect their lives. Parents should look back through not only Shakespeare’s books and sonnets, but other classics. In many situations, when teens are expected to read Shakespeare's’ The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, teens think that Shakespeare is pointless, however his stories help parents and officials learn about teen depression, love, and thoughts. Finally, the tragic story of Juliet and Romeo will forever play a part in the lives of teens all thanks to Shakespeare’s wonderful tragedies and

Famous singer-songwriter, Sinéad O’Connor once said “When you’re young, you don’t really know quite what you’re aiming at. You’re very impulsive and acting on impulse, which is very important and valuable. But you’re kind of swimming in a blind sea. When you get older, you have more of a sense of direction”(BrainyQuote). Adolescents typically make impulsive decisions when influenced by something important to them. Romeo and Juliet’s families are enemies, yet they fall in love in the matter of five days and make a impulsive decision to get married which end up costing them their lives. Romeo gets exiled and says he would rather die than be without Juliet and when Romeo does end up killing himself Juliet does the same because she will not live without Romeo. In Romeo and Juliet, William

Firstly, in The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, he illustrates that adolescents show impulsivity. In The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet , Juliet cries “ Give me, give me ! O, tell me not of fear”(4.1.124). This illustrates that Juliet isn’t taking into

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.

Love is an addiction that can drive individuals to do impulsive actions such as murder and theft. In William Shakespeare’s tragedy, “Romeo & Juliet”, Friar Lawrence, Fate, and Romeo are most responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet, demonstrating that individuals who make impulsive and quick decisions are destined to have bad fate.

Teenagers. People find them to be crazy just by looking at the way they dress and act. In modern days, they dress with pop culture and most of the time, it’s provocative, but it is what all of their peers are wearing. They act in the craziest way, from “hooking up with strangers, [to] jumping from high places into shallow pools, [to] … steering a car with … [their] knees” (83) it is a wonder that they grow up to become “civilized, intelligent adults” (83). In Elizabeth Kolbert’s “The Terrible Teens,” she asserts that teenagers take risks because of their brains. Teenagers are known for making impulsive decisions that may lead to tragic events. Kolbert believes that teenagers make rash decisions because their frontal lobes are immature, nucleus

The quote from an article tells us that, “three words, dear Romeo, and good night indeed. If that thy bent of love be honorable”. This quote can make us have a vision that Juliet wants more than a friendship and Romeo was okay with it and that makes them wanting rewards where they think just because they love each other they want a marriage, and both of their pre-frontal cortex is thinking the opposite of maturity in this scenario. In the quote of article it states that, “when teens receive money, or anticipate receiving it, their brains pleasure center lights up more than it does in adults.” It likes the situation where they think just because they are in love they get to marry each other and everything will be alright compared to adults.
