Later in Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, the demise of the lovers will be caused when the families get involved in the lover’s relationship after nurse reveals their secret marriage. Nurse is a very loyal and honest servant and wants the best for Juliet. She will tell the families for Juliet's safety from any harm they might bring to the lovers to break them apart. Since Juliet does not want her family to split herself and Romeo up, she will turn to nurse who she trusts with the secret of their marriage. All nurse wants for Juliet is to keep her safe because she raised her as her own and feels “thou wast the prettiest babe that e’er I nursed” (I.iii.62). Nurse raises Juliet as if she is her own and she would never want any harm to

    Upon waking the young Juliet, she is the first to discover that “[her] lady’s dead” (IV,v,1,14). The news comes as quite a shock to her, her parents likewise, but especially her because of the fact that feelings of guilt and responsibility for Juliet’s (faked) death arise. The Nurse’s initial intentions in betraying Juliet were good, as she was thinking about her future, but she failed to see how much that would affect Juliet in the…

    This is a story about a boy and a girl. Boy meets girl, they fall in love, have great times, and it all ends Romeo and Juliet style. Well something like that, but my story focuses more on the end of our typical teenage relationship, the break up. The sad, gushy part that no one ever wants to talk about, but withholds so much learning material. The part that truly holds the juiciest information and is the one that really changes a person.…

    The decision that I found to be particularly hasty was Romeo's decision to commit suicide. I believe that this decision was impulsive and fueled by Romeo's emotions. It lead to not only his death but his lover Juliet as well. If Romeo had been more thoughtful instead of letting his grief and desperate thoughts overwhelm him, he could of created a different ending for the play, one not as tragic. Before Romeo made such a decision, he had been waiting for Friar Lawrence in Mantua to send him news of the uplifting sorts when Balthazar had told him that Juliet had died.…

    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.…
