The Consequences Of Romeo And Juliet

In William Shakespeare’s play “Romeo and Juliet”, Shakespeare presents characters in difficult situations in Romeo and Juliet through various language techniques and structure. Romeo and Juliet were star-crossed lovers. Both Romeo and Juliet were from feuding families that would not approve of their marriage. In the play they are presented with many difficult circumstances. The play was set in the Elizabethan era; there was a significant change in religion, family and politics. Attitudes and key scenes highlight the theme of love in difficult circumstances and prepare the audience for Romeo and Juliet’s suicides at the end of the play. In this essay I will be exploring the ways Shakespeare presents characters in difficult situations.

Some may think that Romeo and Juliet died because their family’s rivalry doomed their relationship from the start. Although true, this is not the main cause of their death. Romeo and Juliet were more apt to die as tragic heroes because of the type of lovers they were. The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare is a play that takes place in Verona. The star-crossed lovers, Romeo and Juliet, take their own lives because many obstacles do not allow them to be together. Romeo and Juliet died as tragic heroes because they were manic and erotic lovers.

Hindsight is always 20/20. Too many times we see people fail to consider the consequences of their actions, then wish they could go back and stop themselves of ever doing what they did. We can see examples of this from Romeo, Juliet, Elaine, Holden, and others in each of their respective stories. If these characters considered either their short-term consequence, long term, or just were aware of their surroundings, they’d have lived much happier lives. Just take a second, observe what's happening, and think ahead of what might the outcome of your actions will be.

Romeo and Juliet is known as one of the most popular love stories ever written. However, the play is not about love, but about death. William Shakespeare wrote this play to warn readers about the danger of hatred and impulsive actions. Romeo’s love for Juliet and his impulsive nature contributed to the deaths of Tybalt, Mercutio, Juliet, Paris, Lady Montague , and Romeo himself.

William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet focus on the two young lovers, Romeo and Juliet, who fall in love and die within a span of three days. Romeo and Juliet illustrate how the love brings them together to over power the control of their relationship. The moment that Romeo and Juliet declare their love for one another, they try to keep their love a secret since they are the children of the feuding families, the Montagues and the Capulets. Initially their families would be outraged against their relationship that Romeo and Juliet propose to hide the truth of their love. Once Romeo and Juliet reveal to the Nurse and Friar Lawrence their plans to marry, their relationship is nothing but a risk of problems. Romeo is unafraid to show his love that he teases Tybalt teasing him about falling in love with Juliet, although not explicitly. However, the deaths of Mercutio and Tybalt, occur when Romeo and Juliet take actions to protect themselves, but they are not however, protected. Juliet protects her relationship by committing a false death only for Romeo to believe it as true. As a result, the act to protect Romeo and Juliet’s relationship a secret are examples of the failed actions both Romeo and Juliet try to prevent; however, it is not ‘fate’ that control their lives and deaths.

When Lord Capulet arranged the marriage, Juliet's mother basically left her all alone in the cold. “Ay, sir, but she will none, she gives you thanks.I would the fool were married to her grave.”(3.5.144-145). Juliet told her mother that she didn’t want to marry Paris that she would rather die. Lady Capulet took it upon herself to tell Capulet that Juliet didn’t want to get married and that led to a huge arguement. “Talk not to me, for I’ll not speak a word. Do as thou wilt, for I have done with thee”(3.5.214-215). Juliet tells her mother that if she doesn't get her out of the marriage she will kill herself and her mother tells her that she doesn't care because she had to do it to. In result of that response Juliet turned to the Friar looking for a way to get out of the marriage which requires her to fake her

After hearing about her marriage with Paris, Juliet becomes so upset that she threatens to marry Romeo, as her parents still do not know about her marriage. At the end of Act III, she says “I’ll to the Friar to know his remedy/ If all else fail, myself have power to die” (III.5). After considering suicide for a second time, Friar Lawrence suggests that she take the potion, believing that if she has enough bravery to kill herself, she will have enough bravery to appear as if dead and possibly never awaken. Juliet did not understand the permanence of a marriage at the time of her wedding, and is now forced to marry a second man while she is still married to Romeo.

Two people love each other but cannot be together. There are many intense scenes in the play that keep you on the edge of your seat. Some die, and others live to tell the story of Romeo and Juliet, a story of love and hate. There are many reasons that lead to the cause of their deaths, but the main reasons are as followed. Romeo and Juliet died because of their actions, secrets, and the feud.

Actions often have unforeseen consequences, but sometimes, unforeseen consequences often lead people searching for the action that caused it. In general, people do not think about what a simple action may mean in twenty, thirty years, and, when those consequences catch up to them, search for a blame that should be on their shoulders. In William Shakespeare’s tragic play Romeo and Juliet, the doomed romance and untimely suicides of two young lovers torn apart by a feud between their families leaves readers wondering what exactly is responsible.

In Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet Act III, Shakespeare reveals how not considering every consequence to and action can end in tragedy. In scene one Balthasar tells Romeo that Juliet has died. Rome starts to head back home so he can see her. Later, Friar John returns to Friar Laurence with the letter he was supposed to give Romeo. Friar Laurence goes to the tomb. In the final scene of the play, Romeo drinks poison. Soon after Juliet wakes up and stabs herself with the dagger. Friar Laurence is caught and tells Romeo and Juliet's story to Prince Escalus, the Capulets, and the Montagues. The Capulets and the Montagues feud has come to an end.

families always fought but no one knew the reason why they hated each other, |everyone just went along with it” Says a fellow citizen of Verona it caused a lot of complications in the city. The Prince got involved in the mess and had told the families “if they were to ever disturb the streets of Verona again, consequences will be taken. Romeo and Juliet thought otherwise which led to their deaths.

Romeo loves Juliet so much, just after a couple of hours of meeting her, he marries her and causes many problems. After Mercutio dies, Romeo is outraged. Romeo exclaims, “Away to heaven, respected lenity, and fire eyed fury be my conduct now” (3.1.128-129). Immediately after Mercutio dies, Romeo is so furious he decides to murder Tybalt. Romeo

Therefore Capulet arranged a marriage for Juliet to marry Paris, which

Have you ever felt a tremendously passionate crush on someone to the point where you’re confident you’re in love… only to fast forward a year you’re wondering to yourself what attractive qualities you saw in that person? “Eros” is an ancient Greek word for love at first sight, or love by looks. The famous play Romeo and Juliet goes forward in time by revealing the dangerous issue of Eros that even modern-day teenagers face. Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet is a tragic story about a young man and woman who fall in love by appearance and eventually commit suicide over each other’s death. The danger of Eros can best be seen in the play through Romeo by his thoughts and actions.

Shakespeare intentionally structured his tragedy Romeo and Juliet so that the audience would be aware that Romeo and Juliet would die at the end of the play. He did this so that as people watched his play, they would be anticipating the events that would lead to the deaths of the young lovers. His ultimate message would relate to the mistakes and character flaws that impacted those events. In order to demonstrate his message that intemperance is among the most dangerous character flaws, Shakespeare reveals Romeo and Juliet’s fate in the prologue and then, using diction based on extremes, presents the friar’s increasingly urgent warnings to Romeo throughout the play.
