Romeo And Juliet's Decisions Essay

Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet, two star-crossed lovers, will do anything to show their deep affection for each other. Since they are from two different families, who happen to be enemies, they can be punished for expressing their love for one another. Unfortunately, their passion sparks many outrages. Due to Father Capulet’s feud with the Montague family, Romeo and Juliet's love life results in death.

In William Shakespeare's tragic play Romeo and Juliet, there are four quotes about fate and choice. The characters in the play choose their own fate, it happens because of their choices or actions. First, in the beginning of the play Romeo and Juliet are referred to as 'a pair of star-crossed lovers' (Romeo and Juliet, Prologue). Second, Romeo explains to Mercutio how he has a dream that if he goes to the Montague party he will die, but Romeo chooses to go to the party anyway. Third, Romeo kills Tybalt right after his marriage to Juliet. Fourth, Romeo decides to commit suicide because he hears of Juliet's death.

Tybalt is a very vengeful character. When tybalt and Mercutio fight, Mercutio gets stabbed and dies which will cause Romeo go crazy. “Why the devil come you between us? I was hurt under your arm.”(3.1.70) with these words, Romeo feels guilty about his best friend's death, that was mainly caused because Romeo denied fighting Tybalt.

. Firstly, Tybalt is to blame for Mercutio’s death as he actually gave him the wound that killed him. Also, Tybalt provokes Mercutio by insulting Romeo, ‘Thou art a villain.’ This is one of the biggest insults that Tybalt can give and would usually be followed by a duel. However, Romeo calmly replies by saying ‘Villain I am none / Therefore farewell. I see thou know’st me not.’ Because Romeo is not defending his honour, Mercutio is provoked by Tybalt’s insults and starts insulting Tybalt himself. This is what leads to the two of them fighting and Mercutio getting his fatal wound. So, if Tybalt didn’t insult Romeo or fight Mercutio, Mercutio wouldn’t have been killed.

In Romeo and Juliet and in life, hasty decisions can heavily affect the outcome of the story and your life. In William Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet, hasty decisions heavily affect the tragic outcome of the play. One of Shakespeare's most famous plays, Romeo and Juliet is a play about two star-crossed lovers who will go through anything to be with each other. In the play Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare reveals how hasty decisions can lead to catastrophe through events such as Romeo’s exile, Tybalt’s death, and the two star-crossed lover’s death.

Love or lust, one drives the story of Romeo and Juliet all the way to tragic end. In act one scene two in the streets of Verona, Benvolio, Romeo's cousin, tries to convince Romeo to go to the Capulet's party to find another woman and forget his old love, Rosaline. Finally, Romeo agrees and tells his cousin Benvolio, "I'll go along, no such sight to be shown, But to rejoice in splendor of mine own." When Romeo agrees to go to the party he has just chosen to affect his future based on the decision. He has agreed to take the risk of angering the Capulet's and whatever consequences come with angering them. Romeo determines that based on what happens at the party will choose what happens next in his life. Romeo left the party not only leaving the Capulets angered, but also left him rebounding with Juliet, because of hi old love, Rosaline.

Romeo seems to be miserable as he is in love with Rosaline yet Rosaline is not in love with him. Once Romeo learns that the Capulet’s are holding a party at which Rosaline is attending he risks his life just to be with the one he loves. Romeo is passionate for love.

In contrast, Mercutio attempts to stop Tybalt’s thirst for vengeance when he tries to duel Romeo but ultimately gets killed in the process of trying to save his good friend from being killed by Tybalt which causes Romeo to take vengeance upon Tybalt by killing him.

Shakespeare uses Tybalt’s interactions will the other characters as a way to show that he always has rage toward Montagues, and is prepared to fight at any time needed. In the text, Mercutio and Tybalt are about to fight when Romeo goes in between them, in efforts to break up the fight, it only resulted in Tybalt stabbing Mercutio from under Romeo’s arm, quickly turning into his death (3.1.59). In other words, Tybalt is trying to prove to Romeo that he wants nothing to do with peace and he came there to brawl. With Tybalt stabbing Mercutio, it ultimately gave Romeo a reason to get fired up and start a fight with him, which is what Tybalt went there to do. Tybalt is trying to enrage Romeo, giving him an almost guaranteed fight in doing so.

This one significant act allows Romeo to meet his future wife, Juliet. Once at the party, Romeo separates from his group and wanders around looking for other women. He then meets eyes with the daughter of Capulet, Juliet, dancing in the middle of the party. The two are quickly separated after Romeo dances with Juliet. They find each other yet again and sneak away into a room where Romeo seduces Juliet into the touching of hands and a kiss. Only after the end of the party do both of them learn each other’s names. This causes a ripple effect which leads them to become married the day after by Friar Lawrence. Their newfound love connection with each other becomes so strong to the point that if one of the lovers dies, the other would kill him or herself in order to be with them in an afterlife. Only after the marriage do we see Tybalt and Mercutio standing in the plaza in the next

Fate didn’t make Tybalt challenge Romeo to a duel it was his idea and he followed through in sending a letter for them to fight. “I do protest I never injured thee, but love thee better than thou canst devise till thou shalt know the reason of my love” (3.1.65). Romeo had the chose whether he would fight Tybalt or not and because of his love for Juliet he declined Tybalt’s challenge seeing as they were now family. No outside force had him stand still and not draw his sword. If Romeo would have fought Tybalt, Mercutio wouldn’t of decided to fight him and Mercutio would still be alive.

Shakespeare does this by noting how Romeo and Juliet do not actually love each other. This is represented by Romeo and Juliets actions and rash decision making. Their decisions are very impulsive and rushed. As a result, it impacted them negatively in the future and as well as their relationship. Romeo and Juliet’s love for each other is not actually how love really is. They’ve mistakenly confused lust for love.

Capulet’s and Montague’s are two rich families who hate each other. The Montague’s son named “Romeo” attends the Capulet’s party where he meets the Capulet’s daughter Juliet and both fall in love at first sight. They are getting married in secret and everything goes well until Juliet’s father wants her to marry someone else. Juliet fakes her own death to cancel the marriage. However, as soon as Romeo heard of Juliet’s death commits suicide. Juliet wakes up and discovers Romeo is dead, and somehow without any explanation Juliet becomes a celebrity.
