    With all of the things Romeo had said about Rosaline it suggests that he is feeling more lust than love. The only reason he even went to the party was to sulk over not being with her. But apparently all those feelings can just go away in an instant because the exact same thing happens with Juliet. Everything he had once felt went out the window with one look at a girl that he had for the first time made eye contact with. He then states “(Insert what Romeo said about Juliet)”…

    The first bad decision that Romeo made was going to the Capulets party. Romeo did say that he did not want to go to the party but before he saw Juliet he was in love with Rosaline. Rosaline was the real reason why Romeo decided to attend as he stated “I’ll go along, no such sight to be shown, But to rejoice in splendor of mine own”. This is Romeo's first major mistake of the play and he predicted it too “I have a feeling this party tonight will be the start of something bad, something that will end with my own death. But whoever’s in charge of where my life’s going can steer me wherever they want”.…

    Romeo and Juliet and The Taming of the Shrew both have a dominant theme of love. In Romeo and Juliet, the play emphasizes romantic love, precisely the penetrating passion that springs up at first sight between Romeo and Juliet. The Taming of the Shrew stresses the economic aspects of marriage, specifically, how financial views determine who marries whom. In Romeo and Juliet and The Taming of the Shrew by Shakespeare, the theme of love can be compared and contrasted through many different aspects. Shakespeare uses love as a blinding theme in Romeo and Juliet.…

    Throughout the play Romeo is seen making reckless decisions that affect him and others around him. For example, Romeo displays his impulsive attitude, as he is quick to marry Juliet, falling blindly in love with someone he has just met. Romeo is able to move on as soon as he lays his eyes Juliet, even though he was previously infatuated with Rosaline, not long ago.

    Juliet is the only child and daughter of Lord and Lady Capulet, we know this because Lord Capulet refers to her as ‘the hopeful lady of my earth’. Juliet, just like Romeo makes the transition from someone as pure as an angel to responsible adult during the play. She starts as quiet, obedient and innocent. Personally I think that Juliet portrays the stereotypical image of a goody two shoes however she possesses an inner strength that enables her to have maturity beyond her years. When her mother suggests that she marry Paris because Paris is rich and good looking, Juliet responds: “I'll look to like, if looking liking move.”…

    Almost identical, they come from two completely different eras but yet Romeo and Juliet still have so much in common with today’s audience. The whole play is like high school, so much infatuation thought of as love, so many terrible decisions. In the play The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet written by William Shakespeare the two main characters are both realistic and relatable to today’s teenagers, as they exhibit the same actions when dealing with love and infatuation. Romeo is just like any other teenage boy ever to walk the planet; he “falls in love” with the sight of a beautiful girl. In The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet scene five of act one written by William Shakespeare, Romeo says to himself at the sight of Juliet, “Did my heart love till now?…

    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.…

    As mentioned before, Romeo says he was in love with Rosaline but how could one have been truly been in love with her one minute and in love with Juliet the next. As Romeo lays eyes on Juliet for the first time he states “ Oh, she doth teach the torches to burn bright! It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night Like a rich jewel in an Ethiope’s ear, Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear. So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows As yonder lady o'er her fellows shows. The measure done, I’ll watch her place of stand, And, touching hers, make blessèd my rude hand.…
