  • Essay / Keegan Part 2 - 1374

    In the story of Romeo and Juliet, we are faced with a great tragedy in which both lovers face their untimely deaths. However, this is due to their drastic and impulsive decisions. From love at first sight, to killing others, and even giving your life to die with someone you met less than a few days ago. These hasty actions ultimately lead to their demise. However, how did the characters they are associated with lead to this desperate end. In this essay, we will explore the mistakes and consequences of the lovers' actions and those of the characters around them, as well as what would have happened if the plot had turned and Mercutio had not died at the hands of Tybalt. look at the decisions of our two lovers and how they pursued their own destruction. Early on, it's revealed that both of our lovers are unhappy with what our world has imposed on them and are looking for something new. However, in this desperation, they find each other and pursue each other. Despite the fact that the play takes place over several days, it only takes a few for Romeo and Juliet to fall in love and even get married. This is the first drastic action they take, which is eventually followed by Romeo's murder of Tybalt to avenge Mercutio. These events spiral out of control, causing Romeo to almost commit suicide at the thought of never seeing Juliet again after being banished, and Juliet expressing great sadness. The two lovers' overly dramatic expressions at the loss of each other ultimately lead to the wedding being moved to an earlier date. This change comes as a shock to Juliet which causes her to drink the sleeping poison, which causes Romeo's suicide, which then causes Juliet's suicide. Everything turns... middle of paper ...... with Romeo after his death. We have now seen Juliette give up her life to be with a man she fell in love with, but only lasted a few short hours. I don't believe Juliette transformed into a beautiful and courageous young woman, but rather she kept her arrogant ways and brought about her own demise through her hasty and drastic measures to avoid a man she simply dismissed with looks. In the end, I don't agree with the reviewer's comment, but rather I think that Juliette remained arrogant and chased after an image rather than a man, perhaps only to escape something that she didn't even know. Although Shakespeare had to cover this up, he was unable to because it was still obvious that Juliet had no true love for Romeo. Whether or not her love is true, or whether this transformation has taken place, Juliette is truly an interesting character..
