The demise of Romeo and Juliet was caused by their youth and inexperience, interference by adults, and most of all by fate and chance. The youth and inexperience of both Romeo and Juliet became a factor in their deaths. One of the most common mistakes made by Romeo and who he fell in love with. At the start of the play he was in love with another young Capulet women, Rosaline, then fell in love with Juliet. As said by Friar Lawrence on his love, “Is Rosaline, whom thou didst love so dear, So soon forsaken?
In my opinion this archetype fits Romeo to a “tee” because Romeo embarked on a great task when he made the choice to get married to Juliet. Romeo went through a lot of work just to arrange a secret wedding. Romeo talked to Friar Laurence to convince him to do the ceremony and to find Juliet’s messenger nurse. All at the same time He got the task done, still knowing that He is in a great sense of danger. The last archetype I chose for Romeo was the fall.
Heidy Guerrero Mr. Dorflinger English 9- Per.1 May 17, 2012 The Romantic Tragedy Of Romeo and Juliet In life, love is often forbidden due to certain circumstances such as gender, race, religion, and even one’s parents’ disapproval. In William Shakespeare’s play “Romeo and Juliet”, two unlucky young teenagers both belonging to enemy families, Capulet and Montague, fall into a forbidden love at first sight, and yet commit suicide to end the family’s feud. Shakespeare provides evidence in Act 1 that foreshadows the upcoming events, which are the death of Romeo and Juliet. In the Prologue, lines 5-7, the Chorus provides evidence that Romeo and Juliet will die in the end. The Chorus states, “A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life; whose misadventure piteous overthrows doth with their death bury their parents’ strife.” This quote is an example of foreshadowing because it clearly states that Romeo and Juliet are going to die in the end.
In that event, the audience can see that Romeo is acting solely on his grief and rage, and not thinking about what the consequences might be afterwards. Romeo then gets exiled, which is another trigger to the tragic ending, where Juliet fakes her own death in order to run away, resulting
She was taking a very high risk in taking the potion because Friar Lawrence did not even know if it would work and she herself questions if he wanted to poison her. In the end of Scene 3 she cries: “Romeo, I come! This do I drink to thee.”(Line 59) She was so completely dedicated to Romeo that she risked her life and the possibility of marrying Paris in taking the drink. Juliet decided to do this because she was attempting to secretly run away with Romeo, abandoning her family. This was a brave action on behalf of Juliet because disobeying Sir Capulet, her father, was considered a sin.
Romeo and Juliet’s love is doomed not only by the world around them but also by its intensity, because it leads them to death, to be completely blind and oblivious to their lives, and it caused them to move too quickly. First of all, the love between Romeo and Juliet is doomed because it was strong enough to drive them to their tragic ends. The love that was shared between the two enemies was so odd and wrong that it made them do completely irrational things. They not only tried to kill themselves over each other, but they both succeeded in their ends. Juliet was so distracted by the needs of herself and Romeo that she tried to kill herself three times: first when Romeo is banished, then again to avoid marrying Paris, and finally when she stabbed herself.
It is the ultimate act of love- killing yourself for love. (Quote goes here, could not find one!) This therefore shows that love is to blame because Romeo killed himself out of love for Juliet and Juliet killed herself out of love for Romeo. In conclusion Romeo, Friar Lawrence and love are all equally to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. Romeo for his immature behaviour and killing Tybalt which made him banished, Friar Lawrence for helping the two lovers in their plans to be together, and love, because Romeo and Juliet were so deeply in love they could not live without each other so they both killed themselves.
Many things can get in the way of true love. Love makes people do crazy things. In the play Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare, the main character's parents get in the way of the main character's love. It was the parents fault that lead to the death of Romeo and of Juliet. The battle and hate of the two households force Romeo into getting banished.
Romeo and Juliet Romeo and Juliet is one of William Shakespeare’s most famous plays. This is probably because at the time that it was written it had themes of forbidden love a theme that was never touched upon before Shakespeare. The story is about two young people who are from feuding families who at one families masquerade ball fall in love at first sight, and even when one parent tells Juliet to marry someone else she refuses and would rather be disowned than marry some one else. To be able to be with Romeo she takes a poison that would make her appear dead. When Romeo hears of her ‘death’ he is so distraught and depressed that he kills himself at the side of her death bed.
Although fate as coincidence plays an important role in the play, Romeo and Juliet are doomed by their own actions. Actions which were done without thought and done impulsively can have many consequences. Yes, Romeo and Juliet’s actions were done without any consideration, and they paid a price for it – death. Firstly the killing of Tybalt, secondly falling in love and getting married quickly, and lastly the fact that they killed themselves lead them to their tragic end. Killing Tybalt was a foolish decision of Romeo’s.
