Romeo and Juliet Choices Review
ACT I
SCENE 2:
Decision: Romeo and Benvolio are asked to read a list of names of people who are to be invited to the Capulet party, by an illiterate servant. The servant invites them to the party. After a bit of persuasion by Benvolio, Romeo agrees to go to the party.
Consequence: This is the first decision that sets the story of Romeo and Juliet into motion. With Romeo’s decision to go to the party, it means he will meet Juliet, who then steals his heart. If Romeo were not to go to the party, there would be no story of Romeo and Juliet because Juliet would have most likely been a married woman if they met in the future. The decision to go to the Capulet party allows the events that make Romeo and Juliet …show more content…
If Romeo were dead he never would have been able to interact with Juliet, thus preventing her from falling in love him, and vice versa. If Capulet was to allow Tybalt to kill Romeo it also would have damaged his reputation and name so there would have been consequences for Romeo’s death that wouldn’t be beneficial. This means that it is highly unlikely that Capulet would have chosen to have Romeo killed in any situation.
Decision: Romeo chose to talk to Juliet and kiss her at the Capulet ball.
Consequence: This decision, like all the other decisions was vital for the story to take place. If Romeo and Juliet hadn’t have talked and kissed at the Capulet party, it is highly likely they would have met before Juliet was married to Paris. This would have meant that Juliet would not have allowed herself to be interested in Romeo, and Romeo would not have allowed himself to fall in love with a married woman.
SUMMARY:
The choices made in act one ultimately laid the foundation for the story of Romeo and Juliet. Without these choices being made in the way they were, it would have prevented the story from happening the way it did. If it were not for the single event in Scene 2, the story would have unravelled in a very different way, or not at all. It was a chain of events. Like a train of dominos, if the domino before does not fall in a certain way, it will affect how the next domino falls.

Consequence: This resulted in Friar Lawrence hatching the plan that got Romeo and Juliet killed, however Juliet still would have killed herself rather than marry Paris, so it would not have affected the outcome of the story. It just affected the way it went down.
For Juliet this was her only option to stay alive, and be with Romeo, so once again she felt that it was only logical that she took the potion and carries through the plan.
SCENE 2:
Decision: When Juliet tells Capulet she has decided to marry Paris, he decides to move the date of the wedding forwards to Wednesday.
Consequence: This could have played a part in why Romeo and Juliet died. If the wedding was to have taken place on Thursday, as planned, there would have been more time for a message to be delivered to Romeo, and this could have resulted in both of them surviving. This also may not be the case however because Balthasar delivers the news of Juliet’s ‘death’ to Romeo before Friar John had the chance to, so this also may have happened if the wedding had stayed on the date it was planned for.
