Mercutio

In Shakespeare's “Romeo and Juliet” the two main characters are not really in love because they are immature, they are quiet about their love, and they are strangers. Romeo and Juliet are not really in love because they are immature. In the text we see that Romeo is immature in relationships. On the way to the masquerade Benvolio says “..., but no sooner in betake him to his legs.” (1.4.32) then Romeo says back to him “A torch for me. Let wantons, light of heart, tickle the senseless rushes…

In Romeo and Juliet, Romeo was a considerably large reason for all of the chaos to occur. Many would argue that the Friar caused most problems, or that Lord Capulet being indecisive led to the demise of Romeo and Juliet. Romeo was really the origin of all these issues to occur.

respected no man on earth that ever met them, good or bad, and therefore they have been punished for their recklessness” (283). Romeo and Juliet, however, is much less black and white; characters who are innocent (Romeo and Juliet, Lady Montague, Mercutio, Count Paris) and with whom the reader relates die by nothing but unfavorable circumstances.

Juliet is a beautiful kind young girl who matures quickly throughout the play. Romeo is a loving yet daring young man whose immaturity creates some of the climactic points during this play.

She ends up as a women in love with an opinion of her own. She goes through several stages of being a child,being in love,becoming…

Juliet, he married her. A whole slew of bad choices and bad insight led to the final choice of death. A premature death for sure. Had he just waited or CHECKED her pulse. He would be alive. She would be alive. If Romeo had just kept his cool when Mercutio was slain he would not have been banned from Verona. Which would have kept him from leaving Juliet. Which in turn would have kept them both alive. Then if he had just checked her pulse instead of just assuming she is dead would have kept him…

William Shakespeare’s tragic play on the love story between Romeo and Juliet reveals that…

As the common saying goes, “haste makes waste,” and few literary pieces of work portray this more than Shakespeare’s tragedy, Romeo and Juliet.

No character falls victim to poor judgement more than Romeo. Romeo’s fatal flaw of rash behavior leads to the eventual tragic outcome of the play; these rash decisions include agreeing to marry Juliet,…
