Romeo is discreetly referencing the prologue, where the audience learns that Romeo and Juliet are fated for misfortune. But Romeo also feels Fortune is being especially cruel; he just got married, and he might be put to death. His words
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.
Juliet acts impulsively when she meets Romeo. “O Romeo, Romeo! Where fore thou art Romeo” (II.ii.33). Juliet wonders why Romeo had to be a Montague. The feud between the two families keeps the star-crossed lovers from being with each other.
Providence uses the servant to reveal to Romeo that Rosaline, his love, will attend Capulet’s party. God manipulates the servant to ask Romeo to read the invitation names in order to ensure Romeo will attend the party. God manipulates Romeo to attend the Capulet’s because his destined lover, Juliet, will be present in the party. During the party, Tybalt sees Romeo and demands that Romeo, a Montague, must not be allowed in the party. God manipulates Capulet demands Tybalt to obey his will and leave Romeo alone.

Throughout history love has been one of the strongest emotions known to mankind. William Shakespeare in ‘Romeo & Juliet’ portrays how love a powerful influence on anyone under it grasps. Shakespeare made R&J to be performed to the public whereas as 'To my Dear and loving husband' by Anne Bradstreet and ‘sonnet 180' by Shakespeare himself were both made to read aloud. Shakespeare uses a combination of techniques to show a true heartedness of love between Romeo and Juliet in Act 1 Scene 5 and Act 2 scene 2.
Essay Question Compare Romeo and Tybalt’s language in Act 1 Scene 5. How does Shakespeare present them as opposites in this scene? In this scene Romeo mainly talks about his love for Juliet from when he first saw her where as Tybalt expresses his hate and anger towards Romeo for coming to the Capulet party. They are seen as totally opposite people, not just in their personality but in their language. Romeo often compares Juliet using similes and metaphors to show his love for her.
Friar Lawrence could have been blamed for giving Juliet the potion, but it was Thomas 3 Juliet's fault because she made him give her the potion. The apothecary could be to blame, but he only gave Romeo the poison because he needed the money; Romeo was at fault for bribing the apothecary. It could’ve been the Nurse’s fault since she betrayed Juliet and told her to marry Paris, causing her to go ask Friar Lawrence for help, yet Juliet was at fault because she lied to the Nurse and said she was going to go ask for forgiveness, that way the Nurse could not help prevent her death. Various things could've prevented their deaths, but if you go back into the root of the problem you will find that Romeo and Juliet were accountable for their own deaths. Romeo and Juliet died horrible deaths.
He warned Romeo that “violent delights have violent ends and in their triumph die, fire and powder, which as they kiss, consume.” (2:6:9-11). Friar Lawrence had a feeling that the quick and hasty decisions that were made would not end well. However, he continued on to marry them, believing that their marriage would stop their parents’ feud. In addition, Friar Lawrence gave Juliet the idea of faking her death and saying, “…take thou this vial, being then in bed…” (4:5:93). He suggested the plan of killing herself, which led to Romeo committing suicide due to the death of Juliet.
After hearing of Romeo’s banishment and being forced to marry Paris in the upcoming days, Juliet rushes to the Friar for advice. Although betraying Juliet, the Nurse’s decision to side with Lady Capulet was probably one of the smartest choices in the play. Unlike the Friar, the Nurse realized how outcome of Romeo and Juliet’s marriage could end badly. The Friar continues his irresponsible and childish actions by conjuring up a plan and potion in a matter of minutes. “Friar Lawrence, less ambitious and more desperate than his fellow manipulators, does not hope that Juliet’s death will dissolve the families’ hatreds but only that it will give Romeo and chance to come and carry her off” (Snyder).
William Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet” explores true love in amongst feuding families whilst exploiting the notion that deception leads to catastrophic misfortune. The young poetically portrayed Romeo’s inability to control unchecked emotions, directs him to being disloyal amongst family and his “star crossed [lover]” Juliet. Furthermore, Juliet’s love for “(her) Romeo” causes her to turn a blind eye to his disloyalty and hastily act on his “banished”, through these actions she uses trickery to deceive her family and because of her love affected decisions. Friar Lawrence along with the nurse, cause confusion for the hasty lovers which renders to heightening the family’s feud. Shakespeare presents the concept that deceptive decisions lead to tragic events.
