The dramatic play of Romeo and Juliet, written by the famous English poet; William
Shakespeare in the mid 1590’s, is about two “star-crossed” lovers from rival families that have despised each other since ancient times.

Love becomes a recipe of disaster as Lord Capulet enrages and threatens his daughter to engage in artificial love. Lord Capulet elaborates and assumes it would be a marvelous idea for
Juliet to marry Paris in order for her to disremember the grief of her deceased cousin, Tybalt. Since Juliet is already married to Romeo secretly by law and has no affections or feelings for
Paris, she neglects her father’s offer and selflessly says, “not proud you have, but thankful that you have. Proud can I never be of what I hate, but thankful even for hate that is meant love”
(3.5.150-152). This demonstrates that Juliet is thankful and grateful that her father is authentically devoted to her, but she does not wish to marry Paris because she does not love him.
Her father is frenzied, fuming, and is fighting the urge to hit his daughter as it is written “my fingers itch” (3.5.169). This demonstrates how frantic and stubborn her father is towards pressuring Juliet to wed Paris. He is filled with such absurd exasperation, that he threatens

For, by my soul, I’ll never acknowledge thee” (3.5.202-203).
This quotation demonstrates how persistent Lord Capulet is toward Juliet marrying Paris which makes it more troubling for Juliet as the marriage seems to be set in stone. This is an excellent example of how love does not run smoothly because Juliet’s feelings toward Romeo is perfect true love and this is why she went against her father’s will and married Romeo. This long spark of true love does not last very long after a forceful marriage to Paris in line. Juliet becomes so upset about this love triangle that she is willing to die for her true love as she cries out , “and with this knife I’ll help it presently.” Through her father’s entanglement, the recipe of love has become complex, confusing, and ultimately, resulted in a disaster. Romeo’s banishment from Verona creates trembling fear of love between him and Juliet.
A vicious fight engages in which one of Romeo’s good friends; Mercutio is slain by the hot- headed Tybalt. Romeo, filled with fury, seeks vengeance for this loss and in turn slays Tybalt. A day before this encounter, a different brawl engages in which the Prince puts an end to
Thought the play, these lovers go through many obstacles that range from arranging a wedding and finding a time to meet to Juliet trying to get out of marrying Paris. The entire time fate is tossing them around. Romeo realizes this after he kills Tybalt, Juliet’s cousin, in a brawl. At first, Romeo does not want to fight because Romeo and Juliet are already married at this time and he knows that they are cousins. Tybalt asks for a brawl from Romeo but Mercutio fights instead. Mercutio gets killed by Tybalt and that is what makes Romeo mad and fight Tybalt.
Juliet certainly should have known that the results would be disastrous had she married a hated Montague. Some may say that Juliet marrying Paris would have been a tragedy in itself, but surely it would have been far less severe than the loss of two lives!
... off.”(“Love’s Bond”, Robert Nozick) If that is true when loving someone, Romeo evidently made the wrong decision to kill Tybalt. By fulfilling this revenge, Romeo not only caused Juliet to be upset, but he also placed a burden on himself: an imprudent decision. After analyzing Romeo’s careless approach to risking to lose Juliet’s love, it becomes clear that Romeo’s love for Juliet is not a real romantic love, but it is a hormone-driven, passionate, hasty love that is portrayed as ruinous and preposterous by Shakespeare through Romeo’s actions.
