The Relationship Between Romeo And Juliet

Decent Essays
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.

    These characters, though good friends, differ in everything from demeanor to views on love. Thus, they become foils for each other in the play. Romeo is as young and idealistic as anyone his age. He is immature and hasty to say the least, but he possesses a passion and fresh outlook that makes him an interesting character to follow throughout the play. Romeo channels his passion in both positive and negative ways in the play, such as when he and Rosaline separated at the beginning of the play, “O brawling love, O loving hate, O anything of nothing first created...…

    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.…
