Romeo And Juliet's Relationship

Improved Essays
Romeo finds himself falling in love with Juliet and ignores the history between their two families and is ready for the pain to come if their parents find out what they are up to. The reason why he ignores the family feud is because he married Juliet and Tybalt is related to Juliet. Therefore, Romeo is related to Tybalt, however, Romeo does not want to kill his own family member.
Romeo is overbearing and he kills himself. Even Friar Lawrence tries to warn him that it is not good to be overbearing. Friar Lawrence was amazed that Romeo had so quickly changed his mind from Rosaline to Juliet. However, Romeo shows his love for her when he tries to talk to Tybalt instead of trying to fight him. Tybalt wants to fight by saying, “loves thee better than thou canst devise.” After Tybalt kills Mercutio, Romeo talks to Tybalt and he decides that he must defend himself. Romeo does not show self control, and he kills Tybalt. Romeo realizes how ridiculous he has acted, and also experiences anxiety when he sees Juliet on her deathbed.

Tybalt has something against Romeo from when he went to the ball.

    Particularly, Romeo is at fault because, as a character, he makes rash decisions that result in inferior consequences in the future. Notably, he neglects to tell his parents that he plans to marry Juliet; therefore, he creates a situation in which no one is aware that Romeo and Juliet are wedded. Another key point is that Romeo kills Tybalt for revenge when Tybalt slays Mercutio in the streets of Verona. Earlier in the first act the Prince of Verona notifies the Capulets and Montagues that if they were to ever fight in the streets again than the families would have to pay with their lives. Consequently, Romeo did not assess the seriousness of the situation, and he fought Tybalt in the streets.…

    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.…

    The Montague versus Capulet feud is an ongoing theme in the play that eventually leads to Romeo and Juliet’s deaths. There is tension between the Capulet and Montague families throughout the play that evolves much more violently.

The development of the Montague versus Capulet vendetta is what leads Tybalt to fight Romeo. Tybalt is “slain by young Romeo” (3. 1. 144) in the end.…
