I used this image because I really wanted to show the literal meaning of what was happening because in so many scenes it is super focused on imagery so having something literal and symbolist just creates the scene.

The quote really helps the understanding of the story and their love, first being seen here is like the introduction to their story together not apart.

    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.…

    The language that Romeo uses to describe the nature of his feelings for Juliet at first sight indicates to the audience that Romeo was very passionate about Juliet, “flattering sweet”. Juliet also feels very obsessed about Romeo and so she quickly asks Romeo to marry her if they love each other so much, “thy bent of love honourable, thy purpose marriage send me word tomorrow”.

The first reason Romeo and Juliet is more of a tragedy than a romance is because they kept their relationship a secret. Because the Capulets and Montagues were enemies, Romeo and Juliet thought it was best to keep their love for each other and marriage hidden.…
