Romeo and Juliet act irrationally and take their relationship too fast, ignoring the advice they get from their mentor, Friar Lawrence, the friar or Verona. He tells them: “Wisely and slow. They stumble that run fast.” (2.3, 94). This quote means that those who rush, stumble and fall, which is a metaphor for the Romeo and Juliet meaning that if they take their relationship too fast, it will end tragically, this is also foreshadowing the ending of the play; however, because the two are so in love, they do not listen to him. Another example of when love causes someone to act irrationally is when Romeo gets into a fight with Tybalt. He does this because he wants to be with Juliet and he decides to fight Tybalt even though he knows he is aggressive. Romeo acts irrationally and kills Tybalt, and as a result he is banished from Verona. This harms his relationship with Juliet more than it could ever benefit it, this is seen when Juliet says, “Romeo is banished/ There is no end, no limit, measure, bound / In that word’s death” (3.2, 122-136).

Another way love influenced this decision is when she is supported by her loving father, Mac. “I’m not ready to be a mom” (Juno), says Juno, and although her dad was disappointed in her because she got pregnant, he tells her that he supports her decision of giving birth and giving her baby to Vanessa and Mark, he shows his support when he says that he wants to go with her to meet the adoptive parents to make sure she is okay and that it goes well. His love and support makes it easier for her to make the decision to not have an abortion and continue her pregnancy. For these reasons, it is evident in Juno that love strongly affects someone’s decision making because it can provide support in hard times but also lead people to make decisions that aren’t always the best for themselves and aren’t
