Romeo And Juliet Persuasive Speech

I’m sure everyone remembers being a relentless, reckless teenager who had to put up with parents, young love, friendship problems and hormones; which at the time took over your entire life. Now imagine having all of these struggles on top of, having to stress about finding a suitable lady to marry, or whether there is to be another battle tomorrow that will cost you your life, whilst your absent parents care more about a pointless feud rather than loving you. Good Morning/Afternoon ladies and gentlemen, this is the life of Romeo Montague.
I am here today with the sole purpose of clearing an innocent young boy’s sentence from the unjust crimes he has been accused of committing. Romeo, my client, is just a boy; a boy who has made stupid mistakes

Romeo is an acclaimed romantic, anyone and everyone who knows him, knows that he wears his heart on his sleeve. Romeo and Juliet’s love story was great and wondrous, the two fell in love instantly and spontaneously wedded the next day, which just shows the emotional impulsivity of his life. Mercutio could testify, supporting the fact that Romeo was a loving person, incapable of hurting anyone intentionally in the right mindset; Mercutio said to Romeo “You are a lover.

And I, for winking at your discords, too, Have lost a brace of kinsmen.” Prince was conveying that the evil, the warring houses created, killed Romeo and Juliet in the name of Karma. The prince informs us that he regrets failing to resolve the battle, as his loved ones paid the price with their lives. This is a direct example of how houses should be blamed, and Romeo’s crimes seen as cartilage to the bigger problem. If you follow the timeline of events in Romeo’s life, without the house feud, Tybalt would have had no reason to kill Mercutio, resulting in Romeo never killing Tybalt. So why blame Romeo, a young boy caught up in the whirlwind of his own father’s mess, for killing a man who he’s been bred to hate. If you think punishing Romeo will resolve anything, you’re wrong, the bloodshed will never end until the war of the houses
