Romeo has just killed Tybalt, so he goes to Friar Lawrence for help, and threatens to kill himself because he is distraught that he has been exiled. The Friar, who is the archetype sage mentor, uses pathos to try to console Romeo.

When she seen that he was dead, she had said, “O happy dagger, This is thy sheath. There rust, and let me die. ”(Act V, scene iii).

In the play Romeo and Juliet, there were many deaths that occured that changed the path of the story. For an example, the death of Romeo had a big impact on the story in a short amount of time. However, the most important and impactful deaths of the play, Romeo and Juliet, were definitely not caused by themselves. The person that I believe that is responsible for the death of Romeo and Juliet is Tybalt. The reason why is because Tybalt started the fight on the street, and his ignorance lead to many misbeliefs that changed the story.…

In Conclusion, I think that Romeo is a young, inexperienced and impatient but loyal and brave boy. I think that his naivety plays a huge rule in this because love was taken as an extravagant feeling to have when it was not truly happy as the lovers can experience heartbreak and many other obstacles. It seems as if Romeo only more cautious and deliberate, his devastating ending could have been prevented (even though we have not finished the book yet). Amongst friends especially Mercutio, Romeo shows signs of his social and quick witted persona, even with his fond of verbal jousting that is mainly about sex. Lastly, Romeo is like every other male in the world who only unveils their true self to the people who they trust or who understand them.…
The decision that I found to be particularly hasty was Romeo's decision to commit suicide. I believe that this decision was impulsive and fueled by Romeo's emotions. It lead to not only his death but his lover Juliet as well. If Romeo had been more thoughtful instead of letting his grief and desperate thoughts overwhelm him, he could of created a different ending for the play, one not as tragic. Before Romeo made such a decision, he had been waiting for Friar Lawrence in Mantua to send him news of the uplifting sorts when Balthazar had told him that Juliet had died.…

The cause of Romeo and Juliet’s death is mainly due to the family fued between the Montagues and the Capulets, Tybalt wanting to fight Romeo, and Friar Lawrence’s bad decision making.…
“Tragedy is an imitation of an action that is complete and whole… (Aristotle 31)”. This theory conveyed by Aristotle in his renowned work Poetics expresses the idea that a successful tragedy consists of specific principles that reoccur in classic literature. The theory emphasizes that a tragedy represents reality and universal truths rather than historical particulars. This is achieved by creating a tightly-woven cause and effect chain or “unity of action” that centers around the plot rather than the personalities of the characters. Also, the plot of the tragedy should have complex, specific, and coherent turning points, that are a part of the “unity of action”.…
