As outlined in Aristotle’s Poetics, tragedies are meant to follow a specific structure. In a tragedy, heroic characters often give in to their various flaws and end up dying as a consequence, resulting in an outpouring of grief from the audience. Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet is often cited as a prominent example of the tragical genre, with Romeo’s crime of passion against Tybalt resulting in the complication of his relationship with Juliet, and ultimately, the duo’s demise. However, despite its status, Romeo and Juliet contains a number of elements that lend themselves more to comedy than tragedy and result in a play with a much more comedic slant than it would appear to have at first glance.

Although love is an affectionate and peaceful feeling, it can also be dangerous and deadly towards many lives if mixed with immature and impulsive characteristics. The tragic story of Romeo and Juliet, written by the well-known author William Shakespeare centers on a corrupt society and the romance of two young lovers, each a member of one of the feuding families, the Capulets and the Montagues. The importance of wealth, status and pride in society causes each of the family’s to disregard and neglect the new love formed by their immature children, Romeo and Juliet. The neglectful decisions created by the families, leads the passionate young lovers to perform a string of mistakes based off of their impulsive love, thus ending the conflict by taking their own lives and causing pain in the lives of those dear to them. The tragic love story, Romeo and Juliet qualifies as a Greek tragedy for the reason that it contains plot events displaying corruption of society as well as chains of mistakes created by the tragic hero, Romeo. Shakespeare shows that love can either be one’s hero and savior or a dangerous weapon if put into the hands of those who possess immature and irresponsible characteristics.

Through Capulet, Shakespeare challenges the sixteenth century tradition of girls being married at a young age, condemning the violence of this structure. In Elizabethan England, girls as young as ten were wed as a means of securing their future with a wealthy partner. In the passage, Capulet rejects this life for Juliet. Firstly, he highlights that her youth means Juliet is “a stranger in the world”; Shakespeare follows this scene with the Nurse’s description of Juliet’s youth in Act 1, Scene 3, reinforcing the innocence Capulet sees in his daughter, not yet “ripe” for marriage. Indeed, the connotations of this descriptor frame the notion of waiting for Juliet to age as holding/creating a sense of beauty, otherwise destroyed by early marriage}. Further, Capulet’s conclusion that young brides are “too soon marr’d” by childbirth emphasises that his denial comes from a desire to protect; as the usual argument for early marriage is the protection of women, this notion that it in fact creates such violence is especially challenging to the audience’s usual perception of the issue. As such, Shakespeare highlights the dangers that come from the marital tradition of young brides. Further, the playwright contrasts this challenge by using Paris – a character given far more presence in Shakespeare’s play than in previous renditions of the Romeo and Juliet narrative – as the embodiment of the more traditional view; he introduces his “suit” to Juliet to the discourse of the passage and
