In the 16th century tragedy, Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare uses metaphor and diction, aimed at Tybalt and the 2 families, to reveal Mercutio’s own negative tone/attitude behind his outlook on those whom he had blamed for his death. For example, after Mercutio had been fatally struck from a sword blow by Tybalt in swords dual, Mercutio realizes he is going to die from being stabbed by Tybalt, and says “ I am peppered, I warrant, for this world. A plague o' both your houses! Zounds, a dog, a rat, a mouse, a cat to scratch a man to death! A braggart, a rogue, a villain that fights by the book of arithmetic!”…

Since uncontrolled, passionate emotions vs. rational thought is a dominant theme in Romeo and Juliet, there are certainly many instances in which both Romeo and Juliet act impulsively. One example of Romeo acting impulsively can be seen when he allows himself to be swayed into crashing the Capulets' ball with Benvolio. Romeo is very hesitant to go, even believing that it is unwise and will lead to danger. He even relays a dream he had that he considers to be prophetic, and the dream reveals that the "night's revels" will lead to some horrible "consequence," even to his own "untimely death" (I.iv.114-18).…

Realism and idealism; it is often hard to distinguish between them. However, failing to do so can result in consequences. A prime example of this are careers; many aspire to be actors, singers and models, but they fail to recognize the harshness and difficulty in obtaining them. These dreams are idealistic and do not coincide with the realities of our world.
