This theme is very common in the story. Romeo fits the theme extremely well and displays it throughout the story. One instance when Romeo showed the theme was when he snuck to Juliet’s house the first night they met and spied on her. In that one night they kissed, hugged, and promised marriage to each other without even knowing each other for three hours. Another foolish thing that Romeo did was marry Juliet within eighteen hours of knowing her. He did this without telling his parents or asking permission from her parents. This is bad because Romeo is Montague and Juliet is Capulet. The two families do not get along. Later in the story, Romeo was banned for killing Juliet’s cousin, Tybalt.

He risked his life and said, “Let me be ta’en, let me be put to death.” Death was the punishment, but because he did not care, he continued with the decision. He just wanted to see Juliet. The last foolish thing he did was act on seeing Juliet’s body in the tomb. He did not get all the details before killing himself next to Juliet even though she was not dead. On the other hand, Juliet fits this theme because she makes plenty of foolish decisions throughout the story, too. The first thing she did was marry Romeo too quickly. She knew that he was a Montague, she was a Capulet, and that it would not work out, but she married him anyways. She even says it in the story, “Tis but thy name that is my enemy.” She did not tell anyone about her marriage to Romeo except the Nurse. This was foolish because when her parents would find out she would get in a lot of trouble. In addition, later in the story, she made love to Romeo, who the people of Verona banned. In doing this, they both risked people catching them. If her dad caught her, he would have disowned her and had Romeo slain. Finally, her most foolish action was
