    She refused to marry Paris bluntly in front of her father, which was disobedience that eventually came back to “bite” her because maybe if she had listened she would have still been alive and possibly happy with Paris. Her marriage to Romeo only resulted in negative consequences, so it’s possible that her marriage to Paris could have turned out well.

Adults know what they’re doing and have more insight than a young angsty teen ever…

    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.…
