    Shakespeare shows how Romeo is an impetuous character through the many hasty decisions he makes. For example; when he is pouting over not being able to have a certain girl, his love is “soon forsaken” when he quickly finds another one (II.iii.67). This impatient behavior is seen frequently throughout the play. Upon seeing Juliet at the dance he is entranced by her “beauty too rich for use” so he pursues her right away. He even goes as far to say “I ne’er saw true beauty till this night”…

    William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet is a timeless tragedy of love and loss. Its cunning plot and storyline provides a tale of unfortunate events like no other. Because of miscommunication as well as their own predetermined destinies, both Romeo and Juliet end their story in an unprecedented death. Though they undoubtedly were at fault for many events that had taken place, other people contributed as well. Although a minor character in the story, Benvolio was the one who got the ball…

    Romeo was an awfully blemished character whose impulsive, capricious, and infrequently times unpremeditated conduct led to the death of himself and of his beloved Juliet. There are many instances in “Romeo & Juliet “wherever this becomes apparent to the audience (or reader). one amongst these is his ostensibly nimble transition between his love for Rosaline to Juliet. Despite the actual fact that he professed his timeless love for Rosaline for the primary 1/2 Act I, his love emotional only or…

    that the death of these star crossed lovers in Shakespeare’s well known “Romeo and Juliet” written in 1595 is due to Romeo himself, for he was overdramatic, highly impulsive and lacked in foresight. Throughout the course of the play, it is seen that Romeo is quite the melodramatic character who essentially lets his emotions take over him. When ill misfortune strikes he becomes unnerved. The Friar also seems to think that Romeo is quite a different person to what he believes he is when he says,…

    not okay. In “The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet” by William Shakespeare there are many characters that could be put to blame, but in my opinion it was Juliet’s omission. She is the reason for almost every fault that happens, and if it wasn’t for her, a lot of those mishaps wouldn’t have happened. First off, Juliet had known that both the Capulet’s and Montague’s had had a very deep hatred for eachother, and although she knew she still decided to try to get to know Romeo more. Once she had found…

    Romeo is characterized as dramatic throughout the story, which leads him into dangerous situations. Romeo’s character is first seen after Rosaline turns him down. He comes into the scene moping and depressed. Of course, this is a completely over dramatic response to girl telling him no. So, Romeo’s original characterization includes dramatic. Further on though, he seems to continue this behavior. After he meets Juliet at the Capulet party, Romeo has the choice to head back home with Benvolio and…

The House of Montague were presented as rockers, carrying around guitars and wearing biker…
