    Mercutio and Benvolio both felt the raging sun as it threw its scorching, afternoon rays onto the town square in Verona. Benvolio pleaded that Mercutio should leave with him as he feared there would be a bad ending to the day if they should be confronted by a Capulet and an argument occurred. They could hear the sound of water as it trickled into the tub in front of the church. The sound of the water could be heard from the market stalls where Mercutio and Benvolio were standing. The white towel in Mercutio’s left hand was placed gently over his face as he wiped away the sweat while they walked from the stalls to the water tubs.…

    An author’s usage of time can involve manipulating it to emphasize certain points to develop a theme. In William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, the characters consistently rush time in their urgency, settings and characters in just five days, or acts. In Act I, a battle ensues between Montague and Capulet, Romeo and Juliet hastily fall in love at the banquet, and exchanging vows at the day’s end. Shakespeare lays the background, settings, and tinders the fire to build the audience up for what is to come.…

    Some advice Friar Lawrence gives to Romeo in Act 3 is when he says, “Climb to her room and comfort her. But be sure you don’t stay until the night guards come on duty, for then you can’t escape to Mantua where you will live until we can find a time to announce your marriage, reconcile your friends, ask the Prince’s pardon, and bring you back home with two million times more joy than when you left in sorrow.” Friar Lawrence is telling Romeo it is safe to visit Juliet that night but has to be gone before morning so he won’t get caught.

    “Romeo and Juliet ” Many people could be responsible for Romeo and Juliet’s death. Both the Capulet’s and the Montague’s could be held accountable for both of their deaths because they both hated each other. They did not really have a reason to hate each other. They would just try and start trouble for no reason. Tybalt would try and cause trouble because he would always try and fight Romeo.…

    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.…

    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.…

    Romeo has a melodramatic reaction to the news. The friar gives a speech about how Romeo is acting like a woman and how he should be thankful for this merciful punishment. After his circumlocution, the friar informs Romeo that he will help out Romeo by setting him up to spend the night with Juliet before he sets off to Mantua. Once again, the friar is relying on the chance that the Capulets will not come into Juliet’s room during the night and the watchmen will not see the two of them.

    The conflict between Juliet and her parents causes her marriage to Paris to be set a day earlier than expected, which is due to her father’s lack of faith in her obedience. The Friar’s letter, sent a day early, causes confusion for the two lovers, and is ultimately the cause of Juliet and Romeo’s tragic demise. Equally, Romeo’s change of identity and the following conflicts contributed to his own death, but were more so the cause of the deaths of Mercutio and Tybalt. By bringing out Mercutio’s hot-headedness, and stepping between the two in order to enforce his new love for the Capulets, he gives chance for Tybalt to “… [hit] the life / Of stout Mercutio, and then Tybalt [flees]; / But by and by comes back to Romeo, / Who [has] but newly entertain’d revenge, /…
