How Is Romeo And Juliet Foolish

Improved Essays
Romeo and Juliets actions are romantic and something that was also foolish. There isn’t much mush of an opinion that I have for Romeo and Juliet. Them falling had happened very fast. It was an ideal thing that would actually happen in reality. They married after knowing each other for only a day. Them falling in love isn’t something that’s bad but they could have waited till they were more mature. It was a little idiotic for them to get married and claim they were in love, they are very young and don't know what they are actually feeling.”O me, O me! My child, my only life! Revive, look up, or I will die with thee! Help, help! Call help.” (4.5.19-21) For instance, When Romeo had thought that Juliet was dead and he couldn’t bare to live

    Romeo and Juliet do not act with caution, patience, or wisdom. They act on impulse and in haste--and they get bad advice. Romeo and Juliet could have done other things for example, by thinking through their ideas and plans. They could have thought more about their marriage and how their parents would think about it. They should have also thought about their plan to reunite and how dangerous it was for 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”.…

    “Ignorance is the curse of God; knowledge is the wing wherewith we fly to heaven” (Shakespeare). This “curse” is the trend of tragedy that arises as ignorance prevails. The effects of tragedy are derived from this lack of understanding whether the intentions be righteous or malevolent. To defeat ignorance, the adversary being knowledge, must first be introduced. When ignorance is victorious, catastrophe occurs.…

    Capulet should not have been charged for anything because he did not do anything wrong that would be worth charging him for. I believe that Capulet, Lady Capulet, Montague, and Lady Montague are the reason for Romeo and Juliet’s death. The family feud has all started because of the parents. That means Romeo and Juliet are supposed to be enemies but the two ended up falling in love. Neither one of the parents should be charged for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet, They did not physically kill them, it's what they verbally do to make them feel the way they did and made them kill themselves to be together forever.…

    “Happiness is good, sadness is bad but together, they create a good story” These words from Luna Adriana Ardiansyah fit excellent for describing the erratic story of Romeo and Juliet. This story goes up and down with deaths, bad situations and plot twists. All these events led to different tragic events and Tybalt's death was one of them. In the tragic love story of Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare, Tybalt is liable for his own death because he makes irrational decisions, he has anger issues, and he always has held a grudge against the Montagues. One reason Tybalt is responsible for his own death is him making irrational decisions.…

    Romeo and Juliet are both immature, as shown by their interpretation of their love. They believe that their first love is who they are meant to be with, and the fall in love far too quickly, in Act 1 Scene 4. This scene shows immaturity because both of them believe they are deeply in love, when they only had one moment together. Romeo is especially immature, in that he forgets Rosaline so quickly, and moves on without realising his mistake of falling in love to quickly. This immaturity leads to the proclaiming of their love for one another on the balcony, and eventually their hasty marriage, in Act 2 Scene 2 and Act 2 Scene 6.…

    Shakespeare develops the idea that love leads to rash decisions through the behavior of the characters Juliet and Romeo. Juliet’s deep love for Romeo is the primary reason for her to make rash decisions in the play. First, after meeting Romeo at the Capulet feast, Juliet is beguiled by him. However, she is very distressed to discover he is a Montague, and the son of her family’s rival. Alone and upset, she says in her soliloquy, “Deny thy father and refuse thy name, /…

    Infatuation and love are two vastly different types of affection that most people get confused between. It is likely to occur more so among a boy and a girl when they are young and inexperienced as opposed to when they’re grown and matured. Infatuation can easily be mistaken for love in many cases. In Romeo and Juliet infatuation is mistaken for love by the both of them, for what they had between them was not love due to the fact that they were not mature enough, love takes time to develop, and because it was based on physical attraction. Love deals with more than just looks.…

    Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy, not a love story. This statement has perpetually been a contentious issue, as plenty would believe that Romeo and Juliet is the finest love story of all time whilst others will argue that the story is not of love, but of lust. To make a well-informed decision, it is necessary to first comprehend and discuss the main themes and context of the play. Romeo and Juliet is a famous play, written by William Shakespeare about two teenagers, Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet, who fall into an ill-starred love and are obliged to keep it confidential. Their families are involved in a terrible feud and to love each other in public seems inconceivable for them.…
