Often it is likely that people have good intentions and mean well, but the choices they choose to make can lead to consequences and cause problems for many. “Most of the evil in this world is done by people with good intentions” is a quote said by T.S Elliot which helps to prove that many negative things come from the people with good intentions, and do not directly mean to cause harm. In Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet, the play finishes with a tragic ending where the two main character’s take their own lives due to the character’s choices throughout the book that helped lead to this ending. Although Friar Laurence, Capulet, and Romeo and Juliet all have the best of intentions, their actions contribute to the tragic ending of this play.

Moreover, when Friar and Juliet are in the tomb, Friar gets frightened and leaves Juliet in the tomb without thinking about the consequences: “Stay not to question, for the watch is coming;/ Come, go, good Juliet, I dare no/ Longer stay” (5.3. 158-160). Laurence says this quote and Juliet responds by telling him that she will not leave him with, and he still leaves, not thinking ahead.

Additionally, Capulet accidentally scared Juliet off to the Friar when he yelled at her too aggressively: “Get thee to church o’ Thursday,/ Or never after look me in the face,/ Speak not, reply not, do not answer me; My fingers itch” (3.4. 161-164). The quote exemplifies that Capulet suddenly got very angry that he harshly yelled at Juliet and she did not know what to do. He put her in a tough decision where nurse was of no help, and unwillingly scared her off to the Friar who gave her the plan that led to the suicide of the young lovers. Similarly, Juliet pretended to be happy with marrying Paris so Capulet, pleased as well, moved the wedding up a day not aware that Juliet had a plan in mind. This caused Juliet to make a rash decision and think quickly: “Nurse!- What should she do here?/ My dismal scene I needs must act alone” (4.3.18-20). This quote signifies that Capulet
