Unwise Decisions In Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet

Open Document

Shakespeare again provides more evidence of how adolescents show unwise decisions by using the characterization of Romeo and Juliet getting married without considering their situations. Juliet claims that she has fallen so deeply in love that she has become rich with it, “But my true love is grown to such excess I cannot sum up sum of half my wealth”(Shakespeare II•III•33-34). Characterization of Juliet being so deeply in love with Romeo while their families hate each other only reinforces the claim that adolescents make unwise decisions. This relationship could cause even more anger between the two families and is very selfish since the Capulets are against the Montagues which might leave other members of the family feeling betrayed.
