Have you ever loved someone so much you would do anything for them? Would you die for the person you love? One might think that it would be crazy to do so much for one person, but love could make you do anything. Love is a very strong feeling to have. If you love someone you feel like that person is your whole world. Love can be great, but love could also be very tough and hard. When Romeo first saw Juliet it was at the ball room dance that the Capulets held. Romeo instantly fell in love with Juliet. As he said “ O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright! it seems she hangs upon the cheek of night Like a rich jewel in an Ethiop’s ear Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear”(Act 1.Scene 5. Line 50-54)! As you can see Romeo fell in love …show more content…
It might be. The reason why people might think this is because Friar John did not give Romeo that letter to Romeo to tell him Juliet wasn’t actually dead. Friar John said “I could not send it here it is again Nor get a messenger to bring it thee, So fearful were they of infection” (Act 5.Scene 2.Line 15-17). In all reality Juliet was pretending the whole time to be with her love Romeo. Juliet wanted to be with Romeo, and romeo wanted to be with Juliet. That is why Friar Lawrence gave her the potion. He gave her the potion so she could fake her death to be with Romeo. Romeo actually thought that Juliet’s death was real. The audience knew she was still alive. The people in the play thought she was really …show more content…
The reason why some might think this is because if Romeo never fell in love or ever spoke with her that people would of never died or have been killed. Romeo fell in love very quickly with Juliet. They married in one day after meeting each other. No one knew they got married. The only person who actually knew was Friar Lawrence. He was the one who married them. The audience knew they were married but their families did not know. Romeo was crazy for Juliet. Also some people might think that it’s Romeo’s fault because he killed Tybalt. After he killed him he was banished from Verona. The Capulets and Mercutio’s did not get along at all. That might of been the reason why Romeo and Juliet died. They never had a good past. Maybe if they got along better they wouldn’t of had to hide their marriage. If they didn’t have to hide it they wouldn’t of been in that whole situation. Some people might think that if they did tell the Capulets and the Mercutio’s that it would change the whole story. Juliet might of not pretend to be dead if she told her parents about Romeo. If they would of just been honest about it the audience might think that it would change to whole theme of the
Looking at the start of Romeo and Juliet's love, it is apparent that the only time they can meet safely is at night, hence their first meeting, although, not planned was at night at the Capulet's party. The first time we see both Romeo and Juliet as individuals was during the day in which neither were happy. Romeo was melancholy as we see when he states "Is the day ...
In conclusion it can never be just ones person fault for the sad ending of this love story, it was at the time everybody surrounding Romeo and Juliets decisions, beliefs and actions that helped shape the ending of this famous love story, as decisions and beliefs have no religion or language anybody can make them, choose them and believe in them unlike the two families that could find nothing to unit not even the loss of their precious daughter and son. ‘For there never was a story more woe/ Than this of Juliet and her Romeo.’ 5.3.314
Friar Lawrence takes the cake when talking about who is to blame for the death of Romeo and Juliet. The Friar's action of marrying Romeo and Juliet played a vital role in the outcome. Had this not occurred, Juliet would not be as free and loving towards Romeo. From the previous night, she adamantly stated they must marry in order for her to fully trust Romeo. If they never married, they would not be insanely in love because she would not be able to fully trust Romeo. Another mistake of Friar Lawrence was trusting Friar John to send a letter to debrief Romeo on the current situation. He never received the letter. Since Romeo did not read the letter, he believed his only love was dead and decided to embark on a suicide mission. Lawrence knew the immense importance of the letter and still decided against personally delivering the message. Giving the sleeping potion to Juliet was another mistake that lead to their death. Although it allowed her to avoid marrying Paris, Romeo thought his wife to be dead causing the suicide of himself and eventually of his partner. Actions of Friar Lawrence were for the benefit of the people, but ultimately they paved the road for their deaths.
Romeo and Juliet is widely known to be a tragedy, but what caused the atrocity for which it is so renowned? Some may argue fate was to blame for Romeo’s and Juliet’s deaths, that the situations these young lovers faced were depicted as being out of their control. Could Romeo have refused to attend the Capulet masque? Was Romeo destined to duel the raging Tybalt? Did Romeo and Juliet truly have to kill themselves? If one considers the specific circumstances and causes of these situations, the fact that all scenarios are the result of choice rather than chance, and the notion that the characters were never left without options, only one conclusion can be determined. It was unarguably the decisions made by characters, not those made by fate, that were responsible for the tragedy in Romeo and Juliet.
Instead of the friar’s plan he had in mind, Romeo is told by Balthasar about Juliet’s “death”: “her body sleeps in Capel’s monument, and her immortal part with angels lives”(v I, 19-20). Is looks like a straightforward accident that Balthasar told Romeo about his point of view of the event, by fate, Balthasar tells Romeo what he believes to be real, but this piece of false information he gave is the cause of the tragedy. After Romeo hears from Balthasar that Juliet is dead, he blames the stars (Romeo believed that his life was already planned in the stars), “is it e’en so? - then is defy you, star!”(V I, 25). Without know the plan of the friar, he had a plan to make end up with Juliet think it’s his fortune to die with his true love. Friar Lawrence’s plan is also broken because friar john was not able to send the message to Romeo: “I could not sent it, her it is again, nor a messenger to bring it thee/ so fearful were they of infection” (v iii, 14-16). Friar Lawrence’s plan being ruined, because of this small failure turned out to be deadly. Romeo, not know Juliet is not actually dead, make a huge incorrect decision, because he is ignorant, lead himself and Juliet towards their final stage of their planed life,concluding it
At the very first sight of Juliet, Romeo immediately falls in love with her. He doesn't begin to think about her character, age, or even about whether she is married. If Romeo had taken his time and gotten to know Juliet and thought about what might come of this attraction, the tragic ending to their story could have been avoided. Romeo is not all to blame for the tragedy. Juliet felt exactly the same way about Romeo when she first saw him:
Romeo and Juliet is a timeless tale of lovers who's misfortune and immaturity was a cause of their own destruction. The characters individually show immaturity and together demonstrate how ignorance of the world effects more than just their own lives. Romeo and Juliet, as expressed in the succeeding examples, fall in love quickly as a result of their naivety.
In the story Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, there is one evident character that is responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. The character that is responsible for these deaths is Friar Lawrence. The first reason that Friar Lawrence is responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet is because he didn’t give Romeo the letter in time so he didn’t know that Juliet wasn’t actually dead, she had just drank an anesthesia. Friar Lawrence gave the letter to Friar John but he never gave it to Romeo, which made him think Juliet was dead so he drank the poison that killed him.“Who bare my letter, then, to Romeo?” said Friar Lawrence. “I could not send it—here it is again—(gives FRIAR LAWRENCE a letter) Nor get a messenger to bring it thee,So
Unfortunately, Romeo wasn’t informed of the plan, and after he heard about Juliet’s death, he sincerely believed she had died. Balthasar, who told Romeo of Juliet’s ‘death’, didn’t want to leave Romeo unaccompanied because he believed that he looked ‘.pale and wild and did import some misadventure. ’(116) lines 28-29. Balthasar’s suspicions were valid because Romeo decided to take his life. He did not stop to ask how she died, or what Friar Laurence had to say about her death.
Romeo first notices Juliet during her parents' banquet, which causes them to fall in love at first sight. His reaction in Act I, scene IV illustrates that Juliet's appearance significantly affects him: “O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright! It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night. As a rich jewel in an Ethiop's ear- Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear! (Act I, scene IV, 45-48). Romeo swiftly decides that he is in love with Juliet though he hasn’t spoken to her yet. Juliet is more sensible and declines his first moves, but soon lets him kiss her. At this time, the feelings of both lovers look to be the same. Nevertheless, fate checks their loyalty by revealing their identities. Juliet is a Capulet, and Romeo a Montague, which is an unearthing that shocks them both, but they do not doubt the love they have together. In fact, this leads the reader to accept their love as genuine. In final, their compassion and devotion towards one another is too strong for it to be lust, which proves they are in true love.
Romeo attends the Capulet’s feast as a part of a masquerade. When his eyes suddenly catch a glimpse of Juliet, he exclaims, “o she doth teach the torches to burn bright! / It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night/ As a rich jewel in an Ethiop’s ear” (Shakespeare 1.5.43-45). When Romeo compares Juliet to a torch, he makes a metaphor, suggesting that her beauty and radiance resemble the light of a torch. He continues to refer to Juliet’s beauty when he compares her to a sparkling jewel that catches the eye of the night sky (the “Ethiop” being a person of dark skin). Romeo correlates Juliet to a torch and a jewel, but never once mentions anything about her personality, even when he has his first interaction with her at the feast. Romeo simply feels desire towards Juliet and seems to over exaggerate his feelings for her. He relentlessly speaks about how beautiful she is when he questions, “did my heart love till now? forswear it sight!/ For I ne’er saw true beauty till this night” (Shakespeare 1.5.51-52). It is evident that Romeo cannot focus on anything else but Juliet’s looks, which is a sign of physical attraction rather than love at first sight. Romeo proclaims to “love” Juliet the minute he lays eyes on her. However, if he falls in love with just the sight of Juliet, there is no other reason he can claim to be in “love”
I think that they marrying way to fast was really smart but, also really stupid, They don't really love each other, they are just attracted to each other physically. Juliet telling her secrets to the nurse took a huge impact on the story, and the Nurse took also a huge
To start with, Friar John was shown to be quite irresponsible with the task he was given by Friar Laurence. Although the latter was the person who came up with the rash plan of feigning Juliet’s death and informing Romeo as the story goes on, it was not his fault the lovers ultimately died in the end. Friar John, however, was clearly given the task of delivering the vital letter to Romeo, to which he did not fulfil. To him, it was not at the top of his to-do list, and he instead resorted to helping out a fellow friar. He knew that the message was urgent, yet he did not make a big effort to get it to Romeo in time. Because of this, Romeo was not fully informed of the “plan”, and he decided to kill himself along with Juliet, resulting in their
The average person doesn’t meet someone, profess their love for them, and ask her hand in marriage all in one night… but Romeo does. In Shakespeare’s calamity of Romeo and Juliet, Romeo is the idiot that does all of this. I blame Romeo for the death of these star-crossed lovers, along with the other four characters. If it wasn’t for his impetuous nature, none of this would have happened. Romeo’s relationship with Juliet could be more thought out and more planned. Although the play ended with his death included, without him Juliet and others would have kept their lives.
As being noted, Friar Lawrence made an assortment of mishaps, which he could have made superior choices that lead to both Romeo and Juliet’s death. Point often overlooked, with his careless choices, he married Romeo and Juliet, he depended upon Friar John with a letter of essential information to be delivered to Romeo, and he took off when Juliet was in jeopardy at the tomb. Again and Again Friar Lawrence showed that his excessive mistakes and took Romeo and Juliet’s life. In the long run, Friar Lawrence is more to blame than anyone else for Romeo and Juliet’s death.
