Romeo And Juliet Flaws

Montague's son Romeo in the book Romeo and Juliet written by Shakespeare in the 1500’s, supports the audience with many of his strengths and weaknesses. In this story, two well-known families of Verona, the Montagues, and Capulets are in a feud against each other; however, the son of the Montague family, Romeo, and the daughter of the Capulet family, Juliet fall in love at first sight at a Capulet party. Even though Romeo is a Montague, his personality and his calm behavior persuades Capulet to let him stay at the party. After he meets Juliet, Romeo asks the friar to marry them both; even though, the friar was concerned about Romeo because of his instantly changed and unthought decisions he lets them marry each other secretly. Romeo’s commendable behavior proves a strength and his uncontrollable emotions show his weakness.

When Juliet finds out that Tybalt has been killed and Romeo is in exile, for killing Tybalt, Juliet feels both passionate about Romeo and disappointed in both Romeo and herself, which reveal her inner struggle. In Act 3, Juliet’s Nurse comes back with this news that Tybalt is dead and that Romeo is such an awful person for killing him. Juliet fights back at the Nurse, and herself, for speaking bad about Romeo. She claims, ““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? But wherefore, villain, didst thou kill my cousin? That villain cousin would have killed my husband.” (3.2.99-101). This shows that Juliet is passionate about Romeo, because first of all, she says that she was wrong to say bad things about her husband.

In William Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet” hate is shown to be stronger than love because...

I believe Romeo is the one who holds the most fault because he should have never went to the capulets party and then asked Juliet to marry him so suddenly. Act 1 Scene 5 romeo says, “ What lady’s that, which doth enrich the hand of yonder knight? “ Instead of forgetting about juliet and looking for someone else he went to the capulet’s orchard to see juliet again. 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

Throughout William Shakespeare's play, Romeo and Juliet, the characters represent opposing views on love. Shakespeare did this in order to allow each person in the play to have someone they could relate to and show that not everybody feels love the same way.

There are many different types of trees, each one just a little different to the next. Some are ugly, some are tall, some do not contain any leaves at all. The human personality also holds many branches that live, each dissimilar from the next, each with a separate function that it gives. When all of the leaves are viewed from afar, the combined image is spectacular, but when observed from up close, the flaws are gaping, and even gross. The human personality works the same, for at first glance people are flawless, but when examined deeper and more personally, it can be seen how these flaws define who a person really happens to be for the worst. One sickly imperfection can slowly kill a whole tree, just like one hideous trait can ruin a

As clergyman, John C. Maxwell once said, “When you are full of pride on the inside, it makes you stiff, stubborn, and creates strife with others.” The idea that being stubborn can cause problems for people is a prevalent theme in the widely celebrated play, Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare. Romeo and Juliet, two main characters from rival families, fall in love. Major speed bumps lie in the road ahead, preventing these protagonists from marrying and living happily ever after. The headstrong and determined personalities of the play’s characters lead to the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. Specifically, the stubbornness of Romeo, Friar Lawrence, Lord Capulet and Juliet ultimately result in the untimely deaths of the star-crossed lovers.

The first kind of love shown in the play is teenage love through Romeo. Montague tells us that "Many a morning hath he (Romeo) been seen... adding to the clouds more clouds with his deep sighs." Romeo is often seen sighing showing that he is either depressed or in love. Romeo is both. He says he is "out of her favour where I am in love". He is "in love" with Rosaline but she has sworn herself to a life of chastity and does not return Romeo's love. Shakespeare mocks Romeo's infatuation with the

Impulsiveness is defined as acting on instinct and not thinking something through. William Shakespeare's The Tragedy of Romeo & Juliet is a play in which at a party, Romeo and Juliet fell in love, which was forbidden because both the Capulets and the Montagues have been fighting for many years. In order to elope, Juliet must pretend to be dead so she could be buried, and Romeo would come at night, and they would run away together; however, Romeo never receives the note with this information Juliet sent. Romeo finds Juliet dead, and drinks poison to kill himself. Juliet then proceeds to wake up to find Romeo dead and then she kills herself. Romeo’s tragic flaw is his impulsiveness which leads to his untimely death.

The tragic hero of a story is not always the conflict resolver or the heroic lifesaver. In reality, protagonists such as the one in this play are flawed; their flaws can end up hurting others rather than helping them. In Shakespeare’s “Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet,” Romeo, who portrays the male protagonist, has a fatal flaw of impulsivity that influences him to make hasty decisions based on love. Romeo and Juliet, two lovers tied between a family feud, attempt to rewrite their fate as a couple. However, by doing so, characters such as Romeo end up setting themselves up for tragedy due to their impulsive actions. From marrying a blood feud enemy due to love at first sight to murdering cousin-in-laws, the tragic hero involved Shakespeare’s play

Romeo has just seen Juliet and is stunned by her beauty comparing it other stunning objects; “Like a rich jewel in an Ethiop’s ear” (1.5.43-44). Through the description of “rich jewel” and “Ethiop’s ear”, Shakespeare juxtaposes light and darkness. This adds to the thought that Romeo is extremely emotional and over the top when it comes to his feelings, which will unfortunately betray him later on when tragedy strikes. When talking about his feeling for Rosolin and other people he has loved he says; “This love feel I, that feel no love in this” (1.1.172). Shakespeare juxtaposes “love” and “no love” through Romeo’s words when characterizing his feelings, yet many fail return the love he feels so passionately. This juxtaposition indicates that he is a hopeless romantic and would do anything for love, however this could turn out being his undoing. Shakespeare indirectly characterizes Romeo through juxtaposition as extremely emotional and romantic person, unfortunately because of these uncontrollable feelings he is blind spotted by reality and can not handle the destiny he is about to

Throughout the world there is people who spend their whole life trying to fix another person's problems. And eventually they end up getting themselves into trouble. This is what happens to a character in the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. In the play many characters try to fix another problem. But throughout their fixing they make many flaws that ends up creating a huge mistake that ends the lives of two young lovers.

In Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet hate and loyalty play a part in making the play what it is.

A tragedy in literature is a tragic hero who falls due to a tragic flaw. Romeo’s immature personality has a huge effect on the end of the play. Romeo never thought before he acted, causing things to go wrong. For instance, before he killed Tybalt, he was angry in the moment not thinking about what would happen. When Romeo met Juliet he was in love with another girl. From here, his judgements eventually lead to his death. His tragic flaw is his unripe personality. Romeo enters this risky relationship as a young and carefree man, who doesn’t realize what could happen during this. The play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare fits perfectly with the definition of a tragedy, beginning with two hopeless teens and ending in their death by their own violation.
