Rosaline's Fault: The Untimely Death Of Romeo And Juliet

In the play " The Tragedy Of Romeo and Juliet," two teenage "lovers" get married and kill themselves for the sake of their l ove. Everything that happened through out the play could have been resolved if it was not for one person. Rosaline! I believe Rosaline is to blame for the death of Romeo and Juliet, and their are many reasons to back it up. Some people may say Mercutio is to blame, but Rosaline is really more reasonable.

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.

At one part in the play his friends think he is still in love with Rosaline when in fact he has forgotten about Rosaline and is in love with Juliet. Romeo is quick to arrange the wedding and doesn’t wait to visit Friar Lawrence. The fact that Romeo and Juliet didn’t stop to think about marriage is one of the factors that contribute to their deaths. The Friar also thinks Romeo is in love with Rosaline and expects that he has spent the night with her, because he is in a good mood “God pardon sin! Wast thou with Rosaline”, but instead he has spent the night with Juliet. Romeo has a close relationship with the Friar, he acts as a father figure. This is shown when the Friar tell him he is banished. Romeo threatens to kill himself but Friar Lawrence stops him and gives Romeo some advice as Romeo knows he can trust the Friar “ Let me dispute with thee of thy estate”.

Is Rosaline, whom thou didst love so dear, so soon forsaken? Young men's love then lies Not truly in their hearts, but in their eyes. Jesu Maria, what a deal of brine hath washed thy sallow cheeks for Rosaline! How much salt water thrown away in waste to season love, that of it doth not taste! The sun not yet thy sighs from heaven clears, thy old groans ring yet in my ancient ears. Lo, here upon thy cheek the stain doth sit of an old tear that is not washed off yet” (2.3.69-80). When Romeo opens up to Friar Laurence about his newly found love, Juliet, Friar Laurence’s reminder to him that just the other day he was in love with Rosaline foretells of misfortune to come. At one point during the two lovers relationship Romeo was going to commit suicide because he thought Juliet hated him for killing her cousin Tybalt. Juliet's nurse and Friar Laurence prevent Romeo from commiting suicide by stating “Hold thy desperate hand! Art thou a man? Thy form cries out thou art. Thy tears are womanish; thy wild acts denote the unreasonable fury of a beast. Unseemly woman in a seeming man, or ill-beseeming beast in seeming both! Thou hast amazed me. By my holy order, I thought thy disposition better tempered. Hast thou slain Tybalt? wilt thou slay thyself, and slay thy lady that in thy life lives, By doing damnèd hate upon thyself? (3.3.118-28).

The Responsible Character Behind the Tragic Deaths of Romeo and Juliet In writing Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare has created a play involving the complex entanglement of all of the citizens of Verona in the tragic demise that befell the young lovers. The appeal of the play is Shakespeare's masterful stagecraft, because the audience are told of the tragic ending at the beginning of the play, but want to know how they are driven to their deaths. By involving everyone, the audience is left guessing until the end.

158]. It can confirm from this that Romeo suffers from a heartbreak by a girl named Rosaline. This also confirms that Romeos character can easily be drawn to love.

After the denial of Rosaline, this sent Romeo into a depression. He couldn’t get over her. He was constantly moping around about her and did nothing about it, which was his fault, he should’ve moved on from his heartbreak and live life to the fullest. However, he vetoed that option and decided

Romeo answered, “Out of her favor, where I am in love” (1. 1. 173). The dialogue indicates Romeo loved Rosaline, but she did not reciprocate those feelings. He tells Benvolio, “In sadness… [he did] love a woman” (1. 1. 212.). Benvolio tried to lift his spirits by explaining how love is “tyrannous” (1. 1. 175) but nothing seemed to work. Despite Benvolio’s words of encouragement and empowerment, Romeo slipped into a deep sadness.

At the beginning of the play, Romeo is infatuated with Rosaline. When Montague’s nephew, Benvolio, comes home from a fight with the Capulets’ servants, his aunt Lady Montague tells him about how her son Romeo, has been in a melancholic mood, walking alone in the gardens. Benvolio promises Lady Montague that he would find out what is troubling his cousin, Romeo. Not one who is interested in fighting, Romeo is preoccupied by what he thinks is love and begins to confide in Benvolio that he is madly in love

Romeo & Juliet was a very tragic story of two lovers the ended up dead and there are a few people to blame. Firstly, I think Friar Lawrence the priest was to blame for the death because he came up with the idea to secretly save Juliet from getting married to Paris and instead to Romeo which didn`t work out. This is because Balthazar romeos friend who distracted romeo right before the letter was getting dilivered. the letter never got delivered to Romeo, if Balthasar went another day or time, romeo could of got the letter with the plan of what’s going on.

To begin, Rosaline is one person to blame for the tragedy that is soon to happen because she did not return Romeo’s love, she made Romeo heartbroken enough for Benvolio to insist that Romeo go to the Capulet party, and that Romeo is too infatuated with her. Firstly, Rosaline is at fault because if she had returned Romeo’s love, he would have not fallen for Juliet. Romeo shows this by mourning, “From Love’s weak childish bow she lives uncharmed” (1.1.205). Romeo is upset with the fact that Rosaline will not return his love, and if she did, he would have never gone to the Capulet party in search of new love. Furthermore, Romeo is so heartbroken over Rosaline that it spurs Benvolio to say that he should go to a party to look at other women. Benvolio suggests, “Go thither, and with unattainted eye / Compare her face with some that I shall show, / And I will make thee think thy swan a crow” (1.3.87-89). Romeo is so in love with Rosaline, that other people are starting to worry about his mental welfare, to the point where Benvolio almost demands that Romeo go look at other options. In addition, if Romeo was not so infatuated with

He is heartbroken that Rosaline does not return the love he has for her and prone to becoming fond of another woman. As shown in Act 1 of the play, fate manipulates Romeo and Juliet into a lovesick relationship that can only lead to a very tragic end.

Ultimately, Romeo and Juliet are to blame for their deaths. For instance, they could have chosen to take their time getting married, instead of rushing into it. Friar Laurence foreshadowed this point in act two, scene six. “These violent delights have violent endings...Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.” (840) If they would’ve taken their time, they could’ve sorted out a more effective plan. Secondly, if Romeo hadn’t let his anger get the best of him after Mercutio died, he wouldn’t have been banned. Romeo lost his temper in act three, scene one. “Alive in triumph, and Mercutio slain?” (848) Romeo didn’t necessarily need to kill Tybalt because he would have eventually gotten caught and persecuted for his crime. Then, Romeo wouldn’t have

In love, in hate, your actions ruled by your emotions believing whole heartedly in them and yet tragedy comes, your disregard for the life you were meant to lead buries you, was it worth it? Romeo and Juliet's belief in their love is why they didn’t regret the outcome. Romeo and Juliet knew their fate and ignored it the repercussions tremendous but not unexpected. The consequences are worth your actions if you believe in your actions.
