Romeo And Juliet's Dream

Improved Essays
To begin, Romeo contemplates his dream of Juliet, from the night before, in which she found Romeo died, so she kissed him back to life. Soon after, he receives word from Balthazar that Juliet is, "laid low in her kindred's Vault"(Act 5, Scene 1). Therefore, Romeo's dream was a premonition of Juliet laying in the tomb, and needing a kiss, but he was never informed of their plan.

Romeo's dream may have been intuition about upcoming information about Juliet, was good news.

In addition, during those three-hours before Juliet was to wake, every opportunity worked against them, so they could die together and not live together. Therefore, after failing to rescue Juliet, before Romeo arrived to kill Paris and himself, so the Friar finds Juliet alive for the moment, however she uses Romeo's "happy dagger," after she finds that Romeo took poison (Act 5, Scene 3).

A major flaw in Romeo's character is his morals and his method of becoming infatuated with current love interest. To explain, in the whole play many people die because of their association with Romeo. After, arriving to find both Paris and Romeo lying dead, the Friar shows his concern "Romeo! O pale! Who else? What, Paris too" (Act 5, Scene 3)

    However, in order to help Juliet through her "grief" over Tybalt's death, Capulet decides to marry her off to Paris (III, iv). Of course this is a problem as she is secretly married to Romeo at this time. In III, v, Lady Capulet states, "I'll send one in Mantua, where that same banished runagate doth live, that he shall soon keep Tybalt company…" (ll94-96). This statement prophesizes Romeo's death later in the final scene of the play. Then, Lady Capulet wishes her daughter to be married to her grave (ll. 145), which is ironic, as Juliet will take a potion causing her to appear dead in IV, ii. That same evening, the lovers consummate their marriage, and in the morning, Juliet makes yet another prophesy, "O God, I have an ill-divining soul!…
