Romeo and Juliet has often been discussed as a story of hasty decisions. I believe that in the tragedy, there is always either a good decision or a bad decision. Usually, either decision could result in a dreadful situation. First, Romeo and Juliet should’ve stayed away from each other when they first found out that they were enemies. Second, they shouldn’t have gotten married without anyone knowing what was going on.

When Juliet saw Romeo was dead, she killed herself as well, because she couldn’t live without him. Most people believe that this love was beautiful because they would die for each other, but really, they made decisions that led up to the situation. When Juliet’s father told her that she would marry Paris, the more wise decision would have been to own up to her marriage with Romeo. There would have been some conflict here and there, but they would have been sorted out. In the end, the Capulet’s and Montague’s ended their feud, which would have also happened if Juliet had
