When people act on impulse it leads to terrible endings and suffering to others. In the beginning of the play Romeo shows his tragic flaw when he goes to the Capulet party and falls in love with Juliet, completely forgetting about his first love Rosaline. When Romeo sees Juliet at the party he says, “Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight! / For I ne’er saw true beauty till this night” (I.v.50-51) This shows his impulsiveness by not mentioning Rosaline at all and starting to fall in love with a girl he does not even know.
During a tremendous argument between Juliet and her mother, Lady Capulet claims that Juliet must marry Paris, an innocent, charming man who wants to marry her, but she refuses and shouts, “ He shall not make me there a joyful bride…I will not marry yet; and when I do, I swear it shall be Romeo” (3.5.132-137). Even though Juliet was already married to Romeo, she could have accepted her fate because of the hatred between the Montague and Capulet families. Yelling at her parents causes them to be mad at her, and lying makes the situation worse. Eventually, the choices the two “star-crossed lovers” made led to their
Later in the day, the Capulet’s hold a party where Romeo sneaks in. During the party he meets Juliet where soon, they fall in love and marry the next day. The next day, there is a fight between the Montagues and Capulet’s and Romeo kills Juliet’s cousin Tybalt and fled the scene. The prince orders that Romeo is banished from Verona. Most of Romeo’s actions in the play shows Romeo act in madness because he marries Juliet, kills Tybalt and commits suicide.
“Hold, daughter, I do spy a kind of hope, / Which craves as desperate an execution / As that is desperate which we would prevent (4.1.69-71). And again the Friar tosses around very serious topics with little understanding of what he is causing. He is proposing to the terrified and distressed Juliet to fake her death and then forget about her family, friends, and city, to run off with Romeo whom she met only a few days
Win acts weird and Dallas notices and knows exactly what’s happening - she is jealous.

Julia seduces Tito to advance her singing career. The last theme is marriage seen as a sexual repression since Tito is constantly lying to his wife about the many girls that he has slept with. Also, Maggie feels like she has to have a last fling before having any commitment with Max. Lend Me a Tenor is highly hilarious and fits into the genre as farce. The deception makes the play entertaining
I have chosen to write this paper on Romeo. Romeo is a young noble boy who is the son of Montague who is the head of the Montague family. Romeo fell in love with a young lady by the name of Juliet. Juliet is a Capulet, which are sworn enemies to the Montague family. They decided to get married after their “love fest” in the garden, and this is where their adventure began.
He later, then sneaks onto Juliet’s balcony where he openly tells her that he is in love with her. Juliet warns him saying that if anyone were to find him there, he would be killed. But, Romeo being the stubborn boy he is, replies with “And but thou love me, let them find me here.” and decides to risk his life for a girl he barely knows. He then impulsively asks for her hand in marriage “Thy exchange of thy love’s faithful vow for mine.” (Act II, ii, 124) based on the romantic emotions he was feeling at the moment. This was careless and senseless of Romeo to do, as a couple of hours ago he was “in love” with Juliet’s cousin Rosaline.
After being tricked by Don John into thinking that Hero is unfaithful to Claudio, by witnessing Hero (actually Margaret) having an affair with Borachio, Don Pedro and Claudio are determined to embarrass Hero in front of the whole crowd at the wedding. Upset and angered that his friend has been betrayed, Don Pedro exclaims, “What should I speak? I stand dishonour’d, that have gone about to link my dear friend to a common stale” (Shakespeare 48-49). At this point in the play, the reader has already seen multiple examples of how Don Pedro’s acts of kindness towards his close friend have gone horribly wrong. Don Pedro’s loyalty towards his friend Claudio has portrayed him as an insensitive character regarding his comments about Hero.
Hearing this brakes down in tears and begs her parents to not make her do it or to give her more than just three days. When they enforce what they said Juliet goes to Friar Laurence in hopes he will be able to help her. Upon her arrival Fair Laurence gives Juliet a vial of liquid that will make her appear dead, so she can run away and be with Romeo. Even though Juliet was an obedient child she broke the rules not only but refusing to marry Paris but by pretending to be dead in order to live a happy life with
