Romeo Impulsive Quotes

Next, Revenge of Romeo leads his banishment and a step closer to death. As Shakespeare writes in Romeo and Juliet, “Now, Tybalt, take the villain back again that late thou gavest me, for Mercutio’s soul”(3.3.130-131). This shows that Romeo is mad and wants to take revenge on Tybalt for killing Mercutio. After Romeo kills Tybalt he gets

His impulsive behavior is displayed when he seeks vengeance that built after his friend was killed by his new cousin, Tybalt. In the story Romeo states, “Either thou or I, or both, must go with him”(3.1.191). In this statement to Tybalt, Romeo is implying that he intends to ensure that Tybalt is slain even if it means that he himself must perish. He succeeds in defeating Tybalt in a one on one confrontation. Once Tybalt is dead, the young lover is banished, and a domino effect ensues on the rest of the characters. His banishment leads to the end of both Juliet and his mother’s life as a result of being separated from his mother and a plot concocted between Juliet and the Friar. In addition, Romeo hastefully goes from loving one beauty to loving another. Despite the two being complete strangers they both wish to marry each other. When he informs Friar Lawrence of his change in heart the Friar states, “These violent delights have violent ends”(2.6.9). Friar Lawrence's says this to warn Romeo of the consequences of his wish to conduct the marriage so quickly. To prevent a cease in the relationship due to no real bond between the two ‘lovers’, the Friar tries to use language to prevent him from being rushed into love. This impulsive behavior Romeo indulged caused things to escalate quickly leading to the demise of himself and Juliet’s star-crossed love for each

During the balcony scene, Juliet shows her concern for Romeo’s life by saying,“And the pace death, considering who thou art, if any of my kinsmen find thee". In response, Romeo says, “My life were better ended by their hate, than death proroguéd, wanting of thy love". Romeo would rather be killed over a family feud than not have Juliet’s love. Romeo has put off taking care of his life to stay with Juliet. Juliet constantly shows that

In the play, Romeo states, “Romeo. This gentleman, the Prince’s near ally, My very friend, hath got this mortal hurt / In my behalf-my reputation stained / With Tybalt’s slander-Tybalt, that an hour Hath been my kinsman, O sweet Juliet, Thy beauty hath made me effeminate / And in my temper softened valor’s steel! ” (Shakespeare, 231). Romeo knows the consequence of slaughter in a street fight, but since Mercutio had just been murdered by the hands of Tybalt, all the anger and hatred built up inside of Romeo causes him to lose self control and go after Tybalt for revenge. Romeo also states, “Romeo. This day’s black fate on mo days dory depend; This but begins the woe others must end. ” (Shakespeare, 231), to show that after Mercutio’s death, Romeo’s hatred for Tybalt causes him to disrupt and he prepares himself to battle against Tybalt. Because Romeo killed Tybalt, his punishment is to be banned from Verona, to never be seen again in the paradise that Juliet lives in. If Romeo had just stopped himself from hating Tybalt, Juliet and Romeo could still be alive, and Juliet would not have to find a way to be with Romeo

“O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright!” (Act 1, Scene 5). Romeo Montague is remembered most for his passionate way of speaking to his love, Juliet. However, many people do not realize the many immature and impulsive decisions he makes. Two traits Romeo showcases in Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare, are impulsiveness and passion.

Romeo is the cause of his death and many other deaths in Romeo and Juliet because he kills Tybalt and everyone starts to die. “O, I am fortune’s fool!”, Romeo has just killed Tybalt when he says this and he considers himself as a fool for what he did. Romeo is a fool not only for killing Tybalt but for causing the other deaths as well. Romeo is an impulsive person and his impulsive

Friar Lawrence has agreed to marry the couple that day, in the hopes that the marriage will end the feud between the Capulets and Montagues. Romeo is still impatient even after getting what he wants from Friar Lawrence. Romeo immediately says, “O, let us hence; I stand on sudden haste”(2.3.93). Friar responds with, “Wisely, and slow. They stumble that run fast”(2.3.94). This means, don’t be in such a hurry; those who rush end up falling. Later this statement is verified because in the end the two lovers end up deceased. This fast found love and marriage based on impulsive decisions after meeting a few times ultimately lead to their anguish in being separated. Then that anguish led to their unfortunate

Romeo is “fortunes fool” (3. 1. 132) after his villainous decision to murder Tybalt, he murdered him out of revenge, Romeo’s decision to kill Tybalt was a rushed decision that he made with no thought as to the consequences for himself and his wife Juliet, this shows his recklessness and rushed attitude. Another example of Romeo’s sudden evils is when he murders Paris who was at Juliet’s tomb mourning her death. Paris is clearly as completely devastated by Juliet’s abrupt death as Romeo and Romeo shows him no mercy and murders him out of his anger. Romeo’s desire to go after Juliet after he murders Tybalt is an example of his rash and ill- advised decisions. Romeo does not only destroy his own reputation and his life as he knew it, he drags Juliet with him by continually trying to get to her instead of relaxing and backing off until the problem is solved.

In the Romeo and Juliet play I would blame Romeo of being wrong about his actions and decisions he made. Romeo killed about two people and became a problem because he is a Montague and the love of his life is a Capulet. Romeo also didn’t think most things through before doing them. He wouldn’t think about the consequences or trouble he’d be causing. Romeo shouldn’t have made himself the bad guy in this play. Romeo nor Juliet were making the right decisions. Romeo was just breaking the rules of the Montagues and Capulet being separated.

Throughout the play Romeo and Juliet there were many problems that occured. Such as the feud between the Capulets and the Montagues as well as Romeo and Juliet not being able to be together in peace. Romeo and Juliet make very poor decisions over and over again as a result of their “love” when in reality it’s just infatuation, you can be in love with someone after a few days of knowing them, it is something that develops over time as you get to know someone, which neither Juliet or Romeo had with each other. However, Romeo and Juliet should not be completely responsible for their impulsive behavior, there are some things that they should be but, they should not be for most of it.

In my opinion, Romeo and Juliet could have acted less impulsively and taken more time with their decisions. During Romeo’s first encounter with Juliet, he immediately convinces himself that he must marry her. The next morning Romeo tells Friar Laurence this but he responds, “Wisely and slow. They stumble that run fast.” (II.iii.96) Unfortunately, Romeo ignores the Friar's words of advice and continues with great haste. On that same day, only hours later, Romeo and Juliet marry each other with the help of the Nurse and Friar Laurence. I believe that Romeo should have listened to the Friar instead of acting so hastily because several complications leading to their death arrive consequently. Romeo was acting on a feeling and ignored all the possible

For instance, he shows his first act of impetuousness after Mercutio has just been killed by Tybalt. As stated by Lois Kerschen: “Killing Tybalt is a rash act that needed not have happened if Romeo had been better able to control himself” (261). Romeo’s rash attitude leads to the death of Tybalt and his banishment from Verona. His banishment from Verona essentially leads to the death of both him and Juliet because he is uninformed about Juliet’s fake sleep. Had Romeo and Juliet not exhibited their flaws, they would without a doubt still be alive.

Before the end of the novel Tybalt kills Mercutio and runs off. A while later Romeo sees Mercutio’s body and instantly goes looking for Tybalt. Soon later Romeo finds Tybalt and dares a quarrel with him and Tybalt agrees. During their battle Romeo kills Tybalt with a slash and a stab of a sword. I think this is the main reason of the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet because Tybalt’s family gains more hatred for Romeo and declares he will be exiled and shall not return to the city. Soon after Romeo tells the news to

Romeo is the hero figure in this play that shows a character trait that they can’t overcome that eventually leads to their demise. Throughout the play, Romeo is an impulsive and emotional character. One instance where this is illustrated is when he kills Tybalt after Tybalt kills Mercutio. Despite the fact that originally he didn’t want to harm Tybalt because Tybalt became his family after he married Juliet, his fury got the best of him which lead him to slay Tybalt. The occurrence of Romeo being driven by his emotions to the point of death is shown when he poisons himself because he thinks Juliet is dead. He is so overcome with grief that instead of powering through it, his impulse is to commit suicide so he can be closer to Juliet. He doesn’t

Haste encompasses who many of us are today, whether that be finishing homework or even reaching one’s own dreams and ambitions, not many people have the desire to take their time. Several strive for accomplishing what they must in the quickest possible fashion, however this same haste holds the downfall for many of our aspirations. In the play, Romeo and Juliet , William Shakespeare develops the idea that hasty or impulsive actions can drive an individual into insufferable and even dire positions, while also compelling others to grow and learn from such consequences. Shakespeare conveys these ideas by following Romeo’s rash decisions and the consequences of his actions, as well as following how Capulet, Montague and Friar Lawrence were able to evolve.
