He married Juliet the day after they met, not stopping to wait and think about the consequences. “Holy Saint Francis, what a change is here!

He then sees Juliet and ignores all the rules of society at that time, and grabs Juliet's hand,and talks and kisses her, instead of the custom of the father arranging his daughter's future partner. After the ball, Romeo breaks yet another rule by jumping over the Capulet wall and walking to Juliet's balcony.This rule, however, would have more serious consequences for Romeo if he is caught by any Capulets, such as death. Romeo then ignores the danger to break yet another rule; he arranges to marry Juliet the next day.By going past Juliets father, Roemo erased any chance he had at marryin Juliet peacefully and traditionally. If he had gone to her father first, her father might have given Juliet to him because he describes him as????, and might have also seen it as a solution to the feud. Romeos failure to follow the rules also results in the direct death of Tybalt, and directly affects the two lovers deaths. Romeo killed Tybalt in a rage after Tybalt killed Romeo's best friend, Mercutio.In romeo would have followed the rules and let Tybalt go, the prince would execute Tybalt, and Juliet's father would not have moved Juliet’s and Paris’s wedding up because Juliet would not cry because her Romeo would still be here, and Romeo and Juliet would have time to devise a plan

When Romeo tells Friar Laurence “ . . . but this i pray, / That thou consent to marry us today” Friar knows it is very immature, but only does it to possibly end the feud between the families (II, iii, 63-64). They could be mature and wait things out to see if them loving each other would work, but instead they just get married.

There, they have a conversation declaring their love for each other. At the end the Nurse is calling Juliet, and Juliet decides that she want to get married as soon as possible. Doing this is a poor choice because she doesn’t know Romeo, all he did was charm her and that’s what Juliet thinks she is in love with. She doesn’t think of all of the consequences, and decides on the spot: “If that thy bent of love be honorable, Thy purpose marriage, send me word tomorrow, By the one that I’ll procure to come to thee…” (II.ii.150-152). They are getting married, blinded by their infatuation for each other, they don’t think about what can happen if the rest of their families find out. This is a poor choice because they really haven’t thought it through, and it is not be the brightest idea, seeing as they are coming from feuding families. These choices lead them to do anything for each other, because they love each other and continue to lead to their demise.

He is transfixed; Rosaline vanishes from his mind declaring he had never been in love until now. Friar Lawrence works out that Romeo did not sleep last night.
