It is a tragic story of two lovers, destined to complete each other, but also to end a bitter feud through their deaths (Prologue.3-6). However, if the blame had to be ascribed to one person in particular, that person would be Romeo Montague.

Likewise, the decisions, driven by their emotions, often results in the birth of chaos. Finally the deaths of characters, one of the most severe outcomes, are a result of impulsive decisions by others. Making decisions based on emotions leads to negative outcomes in Lord of the Flies and Romeo & Juliet.
