Romeo, in Romeo and Juliet, will do anything to be with Juliet, even death. “ Amen, amen. But come what sorrow can, It cannot countervail the exchange of joy That one short minute gives me in her sight. Do thou but close our hands with holy words,Then love-devouring death do what he dare;It is enough I may but call her mine.” (II. VI. 3-8). Throughout the novel, Romeo and Juliet fail to respect social confines of adult rules, by refusing to abide the law of family and society. Moreover, in the Lord of the Flies, death almost becomes natural on the island as Jack’s response to Piggy’s death shows no remorse.

It was revealed that Jack was ashamed of his actions (cause of Simon and Piggy’s death), by his lack of confidence as he didn't feel like he was leader of the island anymore. In addition, the boys are not able to reflect upon their actions until there is an adult was present. This is shown when the narrator states, “Ralph wept for the end of the innocence, the darkness of man’s heart, and the fall through the air of the true, wise friend called Piggy” (Golding 202). Therefore, young people fail to acknowledge the consequences that come with their actions which result hastily upon
