Tybalt’s threats eventually become a full out issue for Romeo. This leads to the next point. Last, the banishment of Romeo that was indeed Tybalt’s fault. After Romeo killed Tybalt, The Prince announces the punishment of Romeo’s actions, “And for that offence, immediately we do exile him hence”(129). If Tybalt had never threatening Romeo or killed Mercutio he would still be alive, but that is a different issue.
(Stabs herself) There rust and let me die.”-P. 579 lines (169-171). It’s really sad that all of this could have been avoided if Juliet would’ve just left with Romeo or if their families gave up their hatred for one another. Throughout Romeo and Juliet, Romeo and Juliet’s personality drastically changes. At first Romeo was love-sick and Juliet didn’t want anything to do with marriage. Then they meet, fall in love and get married.
big dog Mrs. tee World Lit. Honors 27, March 1912 The Tragic Flaw Romeo and Juliet is a tragic play of two star-crossed lovers written by William Shakespeare. Romeo and Juliet fall in love and hide their secret relationship from their feuding families. As the play progresses, Romeo starts to act on impulse and his action result in tragic consequences. When people act on impulse it leads to terrible endings and suffering to others.
Firstly, Shakespeare designs Romeo and Juliet’s character as youngsters who are extremely hasty. Romeo demonstrates his hastiness when he has a fencing duel with Tybalt. When Mercutio gets stabbed he immediately decides to seek revenge from Tybalt, without putting any thought into his decision. In order to receive revenge, he thinks that, “Staying for thine to keep him company: / Either thou, or I, or both, must go with him” (3.1.128-129). In other words, he believes that Tybalt, or Romeo or both of them shall lie dead with Mercutio.
Furthermore, when Romeo is expressing his love for Juliet he states “My life were better ended by their hate,/ Than Death prorogued, wanting of thy love." (2.2.77-78). This scene is only the second time Romeo and Juliet meet, which shows the audience how immense their love is for each other. During this scene, Juliet tells Romeo that she would like to marry him, and Romeo agrees. However, Romeo states that he would rather die because of the Capulets hate, then be alive and fight for their love.
Tybalt completely forgets about Mercutio and says to him “Well, peace be with you, sir. Here comes my man.” This quote suggests that Tybalt was looking for Romeo and he saw his enemy. While Romeo and Tybalt are still arguing about their hatreds towards each other, Romeo gets insulted by Tybalt by calling him a “villain”. This was insult towards Romeo because in the reign of the Elizabethan time that word was very insulting especially for someone like Romeo as he comes from a noble family. Mercutio joins in the conversation and says “O calm, dishonorable, vile submission!
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. Without these three key elements in the play Romeo and Juliet would not have been
Romeo’s choices cause pain and stress upon his friends and mentor. Romeo, acting out of love, convinces Friar Lawrence to marry him to Juliet after only knowing each other for a few hours. This irrational decision causes conflict for Friar Lawrence
Though there are many characters Friar Lawrence is most to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. Friar Lawrence marries Romeo and Juliet with no one knowing that these two foes are now husband and wife. Friar Lawrence states, “To turn your households’ rancor to pure love “(II.iii.92). The Friar thought it would be a good idea to marry them so both their families could stop hating each other and maybe start to like each other by having Romeo and Juliet married. Friar Lawrence tells Romeo, “Wisely and slow.
For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night”: (Act 1; Scene 5, lines 53-54) this is only proof of how Romeo believes that him and Juliet and in love. Now, the death of Romeo and Juliet was partially because of free will. The fact that Romeo and Juliet got married knowing that there was a bitter feud between their families, the Montague and Capulet’s. This feud brought on many problems, such as the murder of Tybalt by Romeo.
