    In Shakespeare’s play, Romeo and Juliet, Romeo’s one tragic flaw was that he was overly emotional and always was going from one end of the emotional spectrum to the other. Throughout the play, Shakespeare demonstrates this flaw in Romeo’s passionate rush to falling in love, his volatile fighting, and his suicidal despair. Although depth of feeling can be admirable, Shakespeare cautions that uncontrolled emotion can be destructive. As Friar Lawrence warns, “These violent delights have violent ends” (2.6.9). Shakespeare demonstrates Romeo’s out-of-control emotions in several different contexts.…

    Romeo and Juliet are no different in this, which can be especially seen with Juliet in her candidly sexual soliloquy as she wonders, “Oh, I have bought the mansion of a love, But not possessed it, and though I am sold, Not yet enjoyed. So tedious is this day As is the night before some festival To an impatient child that hath new robes And may not wear them.” (III. ii. 26-31) She is complaining that she has yet to experience the “joys” of a married relationship, and impatiently awaits Romeo and begs the night to come sooner so they can be together until morning.…

    Firstly, the harmless nature of Benvolio’s behavior, intended to help and protect those around him, become the catalysts of several undesired results. The simple actions of cheering up a sulking friend caused the entire disaster that is the relationship between Romeo and Juliet. Romeo comes home sulking about Rosaline, and Benvolio insists on going to the Capulet’s party to “examine other beauties” (I,i,1,224) and compare them to Rosaline. Although going to the party achieved the goal of making Romeo forget about Rosaline, it brought about a new love: Juliet. To illustrate this in a more modern fashion, it can be said that Benvolio is in the position of the friend with no love or relationship experience, but is always the one who is turned…
