Carrie Great post as always. I would have to say that I agree with you regarding the immaturity and impulsiveness about Romeo and Juliet’s tale. We all can look back in our teenage years and realized that life is learning experience. There is no way; anyone would be able to convince me otherwise that Romeo and Juliet experience true love. As we are in agreement that they did not have the life experience to understand true love. I would go as far as saying that the notion of them taking their life were not a desire but merely stupidity and impulsiveness on their part. Tara Hello, great post this weekend and thanks for the candid reply on my post. You indicated that you agree that Romeo and Juliet did not know what love is. However, you believe

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).

Many parents or adults wonder why adolescents act the way they do and want answers as to why. Numerous of these actions adolescents make are because of the prefrontal cortex(PFC). The PFC isn’t developed until the mid 20s which causes teenagers to lack on seeing the consequences before they make a risky or impulsive decision. In The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, he illustrates that adolescents show impulsivity, decision making, and risk taking.
“Romeo: Tut! I have lost myself; I am not here: This is not Romeo, he’s some other where. Benvolio: Tell me in sadness, who is that you love? Romeo: What, shall I groan and tell thee? Benvolio: Groan? Why, no; But sadly tell me who. Romeo: Bid a sick man in sadness make his will. Ah, word ill urged to one that is so ill! In sadness cousin, I do love a woman.” (1.1.190-197) In the quote, Benvolio can see that Romeo is distraught, and attempts to find what is bothering him. Romeo is saddened by being denied the love of Rosaline, who he believed to be his true love. Instead of attempting to resolve the issue in their relationship, he quickly turned and dramatically spoke of her to Benvolio. This is just one of the many examples of impulsivity in adolescence in the play of Romeo and Juliet.

Unfortunately, the Montague and Capulet families are in a family feud and completely despise one another. However, Romeo and Juliet are still determined to be with each other and decide to secretly marry with the help of Friar Lawrence and Juliet’s nurse. An unexpected street fight results in the banishment of Romeo from Verona, just hours after his wedding ceremony.

Not everything goes according to this plan though, and the ending is a horrible catastrophe because of Romeo’s quick and rash actions. Therefore, hasty and reckless actions made based on one’s emotions can lead to tragedy.
A famous speaker named Henry Ward Beaker once said “Young love is a flame; very pretty, often very hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. The love of the older and disciplined heart is as coals, deep-burning, unquenchable” (Teenage Love Sayings and Quotes). Shakespeare is known for his stories on adolescent love, Romeo and Juliet is just one example of how some teens can mistake a crush for love and take things too far.

William Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet has been the subject of debate for centuries. One specific topic is the debate between Romeo and Juliet and whether their love was just emotionally charged or if it was true love.
