Emotions are an important part of life. Without emotions, there would be no feelings, like sadness, happiness, anger, and the world would be dull. Sometimes emotions lead people to do things that defeat reason and go against what is ‘right’ in their society. So when do emotions defeat reason? Three books that illustrate strong emotions are, “Romeo and Juliet” a script by William Shakespeare, “Pride and Prejudice” a novel by Jane Austen, and “I am Malala” a memoir by Malala Yousafzai and Christina Lamb.

Both young lovers assumed they had fallen in love when they first met each other, but this proved to be wrong throughout the play as they kept relying on violence and self-harm when their passionate affair hit some bumps in the road.

Subsequently, the inferences made from the foreshadowing and dramatic irony in the prologue and throughout the play, reveal that the relationship between Romeo and Juliet was merely based on lust
