    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. Juliet’s defiance and disobedience towards her elders only resulted in her death. This once again reiterates on the fact that parents do things that are best for their kids and that they should be trusted. Adults know what they’re doing and have more insight than a young angsty teen ever…

    In Conclusion, I think that Romeo is a young, inexperienced and impatient but loyal and brave boy. I think that his naivety plays a huge rule in this because love was taken as an extravagant feeling to have when it was not truly happy as the lovers can experience heartbreak and many other obstacles. It seems as if Romeo only more cautious and deliberate, his devastating ending could have been prevented (even though we have not finished the book yet). Amongst friends especially Mercutio, Romeo shows signs of his social and quick witted persona, even with his fond of verbal jousting that is mainly about sex. Lastly, Romeo is like every other male in the world who only unveils their true self to the people who they trust or who understand them.…
