(Romeo and Juliet)What is the major factor contributing to their death?
...gue introduces the story which is set in “fair Verona”. A long standing feud between two rich families the Montagues and Capulets will be ended only by the deaths of their children, two ill-fated lovers- Romeo Capulet and Juliet Capulet. In this story the lovers have to overcome lots of problems which end up in tragedy. When considering this tragedy the most significant fact you must think about is fate. Fate, above all, destroyed star-crossed lovers. From the beginning of the story Romeo is so depressed about his unrequited love for Rosaline when it just so happens, he goes to a masquerade party. There he falls for Juliet, the daughter of Lord Capulet, and forgets about Rosaline, Romeo proclaims, “Did my heart love till now?” And we also expect that Juliet is to marry Paris, but since Romeo declares his love for Juliet, she fells the attraction also. They believe that they are in love and must marry. However, it is a genuine coincidence that Romeo and Juliet were at the same place, at the same time. This play tells about two star-crossed lovers whose deaths were caused by fate not their parents or themselves. Some actions are believed to occur by chance or by destiny, the timing of each action influences the outcome of the play. While some events are less significance, some are crucial to the development of this tragedy. The substantial events that inspire the conclusion of “Romeo and Juliet” are; the Capulet ball, the quarrel experienced by Tybalt and Romeo and Friar Johns plague. When the two characters initially met they had a love and hate relationship without even knowing it. Romeo and Juliet are greatly influenced by the two households feuding that they were brought up in under the impression that they existed and hated each other just because of the feud. This was until they met and got to know each other for what they really were. They didn’t know each other by the last name anymore but for what was inside. The two lovers realised that they have a love hate relationship when they find out what household they come from. Juliet expresses this in Act 1 scene 5, line 137 by saying , “My only love sprung from my only hate!” In this tragedy Juliet is described as a very gentle girl and obedient to her parents, she is very young and innocent. She behaves I a careful and thoughtful manner in different stages of the play. An example of this is when Lady Capulet talks to her about marrying Paris. She declines the offer, "It's an honor that i dream not of". She does not think that she is ready to marry yet, and has not even thought about it. She leaves the option open and tells her mother that she "will look to like", meaning she will try and like him but only go as far as her mother wants. Juliet is not sure if she wants to marry Paris, but she will consider the possibility while she gets to know him. In other parts of the play Juliet is quite rash and acts thoughtlessly and very quickly. One example of this is when she wakes up in the tomb and finds out that Romeo is dead. She refuses to listen to Friar Lawrence's pleas, to leave the tomb and come with him to a nunnery. Instead she tells him, “Go, get thee hence, for i will not away". She tries to poison herself but there is no poison left on Romeo's lips. When she hears the watch coming, she grabs Romeo,s dagger and fatally stabs herself. Juliet is so upset, she loses her ability to think rationally, and instead of listening to the Friar, in desperation, she kills herself with the dagger. Romeo is careful and considerate in some parts of the play. A great example of this is when he tries to convince his friends not to go to the Capulet ball. Another example is when Juliet confesses her desire to marry him; he goes and speaks to Friar Lawrence. He explains how difficult the situation is and asks for his help. Romeo acts with forethought on both occasions. However, he also behaves hastily and carelessly on many other occasions.
