    With Paris being told by Juliet’s father he could marry her, this made Juliet even more upset, prompting the plan to escape her family. Paris often played a part in the role of why Juliet wanted to get married to Romeo, as she couldn’t see herself being married to Paris, and she didn’t like the thought of an arranged marriage. This, as well as Romeo being banished was what ultimately made Juliet upset and wishing to leave her family, and caused so many issues with trying to find a way to do so. As Juliet goes to Friar Laurence, he suggests that she should fake her death, knowing that she will be buried in a tomb and It would be easy for her to escape. Although at the time this seemed to be a clever idea, this is one of the main reasons why they kill themselves.…

    In the play “Romeo and Juliet”, those two protagonists meet, fall in love, and are forced into suicide by outside conflicts. I believe the first of such conflicts is Friar Laurence, another character. Romeo and Juliet often trust him for advice and help, which he gives, but only to benefit himself. The second conflict is the Capulet family. They force Juliet to do things she doesn’t want to causing her to make rash decisions.…

    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.…

So Friar Lawrence gives Juliet a sleeping potion that puts her in a dead like state. Romeo believes that Juliet is dead and heads to Verona to kill himself beside Juliet. “A dateless bargain to engrossing death!”…

Then, in response to Benvolio’s pleas for him to join his departing friends and leave the party, Romeo continues with, ‘Ay, so I fear.…
