Examples Of Impulsive Things In Romeo And Juliet

March 15th, 2012 In the play of Romeo and Juliet that William Shakespeare wrote many impulsive things happened that Romeo, Juliet, Lord Capulet and Lawrence did, that the result was the tragedy Romeo and Juliet’s death. Some impulsive things that Romeo made were when he saw Juliet for the fist time and he feels like loving her. That’s an ignorant thing to fell, because to love someone needs to know each other at least 2 or 3 moths. So I think Romeo is confusing about love someone or like someone. “Did my heart love till now? Foreswear it sight. For ne’er saw true beauty till this night” (Act I, Scene V, line 53). Another thing he did impulsively was when he married with Juliet. I think that he acted very stupid because no one is going to get married without know that person as well they have to, to get married.

One of them is to married Romeo. She also disobeyed her father in getting married with Romeo. I agree with Juliet because her situation was very difficult. It was to get married with the man that her father chooses for her. If I would have to choose to married someone I don’t want I would not do it just because of my dad. Another impulsive thing was when she accepts the Friars plan. The plan was this. Friar Lawrence gives Juliet a potion that makes her seem as if she was dead. A messenger is sent to Romeo telling him she is not actually dead and to meet her in the morgue so they can run away together, but I didn’t work. “Give me, give me! O tell not me of fear.” (Act IV, Scene I, line

    Romeo was one to often rush into things; it was made clear in many scenes that most decisions or actions Romeo took were rash, and given almost no thought. During the balcony scene (Act II, scene ii) of Romeo and Juliet, the two decided to get married after only knowing each other for a short amount of time. Whereas Romeo did not…

    Juliet's conceding to a forbidden relationship with Romeo was the starting point in which the tragedy would start to unfold. At the ball, Juliet falls in love with a masked Romeo and later Romeo and Juliet both confess their love for each other, both of them now knowing that they are enemies from both sides the family feud. At this point, Juliet had a choice of whether or not to pursue this new relationship. In the end, in the heat of things, she decides to give in to Romeo, even though she had doubts about this relationship just moments before. "Thy purpose marriage, send me word tomorrow, / By one that I'll procure to come to thee, / Where and what time thou wilt perform the rite, / And all my fortunes at thy foot I'll lay, / And follow thee my lord throughout the world" (Act2 Scene2 Lines144-148). Here, Juliet seals her commitment to Romeo, proposing marriage and placing her fate in Romeo's hands as she would "follow him as her lord".…

    In Romeo and Juliet's third scene there is a lot of blood shed resulting from the impulsiveness and poor decision making skills of one of its characters, Tybalt. In scene 3 Tybalt, who is very angry because Romeo crashed the Capulet party, engages Romeo's friends in a non sensible rage demanding Romeo. Tybalt's clear ignorance to the fact that if he kills Romeo he will be executed is patent. Tybalt's desire to kill Romeo is irrational, illogical, and impulsive regardless of the alleged loss of honor that Tybalt had experienced earlier in the story. If Tybalt had been thinking clearly then there would probably be no bloodshed, so why was he not thinking rationally? "Recent research on the human brain provides parents with shocking new evidence…

    When Nurse tells Juliet who Romeo is, Juliet says, "My only love sprung from my only hate! Too early seen unknown, and known too late! Prodigious birth of love it is to me that I must love a loathèd enemy" (61). When Romeo sees Juliet on the balcony later that night, or possibly the next morning, he says, "It is my lady. O, it is my love" (69). In real life, two mature people don't know for sure that they've fallen in love after talking for just a few minutes. Their immaturity is shown in these quotes because they think they are in love before they have spent any time together. Perhaps Romeo thinks he loves Juliet because she is the first girl he has approached who seems to like him back. Maybe he just likes her because of her beauty. Either way, if he were mature, he would not think he felt love for her so soon after first laying his eyes upon her. Juliet could think she loves Romeo because she is so used to being kept in her house and has not been exposed to many young men. This most likely causes her to think, since he could be the first boy who has directly flirted with her, that she loves him. Juliet is very immature in suggesting marriage to Romeo, not only because she is a girl, but also because she hasn't introduced him to her parents and because she doesn't know…

    Flaws In Romeo And Juliet

    From the onset of the play to its conclusion, Romeo acts without thinking of his consequences. Romeo meets with Juliet after the party and they immediately decide to get married, without reminding themselves that they are enemies. When Romeo departs to the Friar to plead to be married to Juliet, the Friar ridicules Romeo by saying "thy love did read by rote but could not spell." (Rom 2.3.91). The Friar meant Romeo just loves to love, without really knowing how, because you can't write correctly without knowing how to spell. Romeo acts on impulse rather than thought. He knows that the love of his life is his family's enemy and regardless of that fact, he beseeches the Friar to wed him to Juliet. These acts of impulse soon lead to the death of both Romeo and his love…

    Everything that happens has a cause. This statement also applies to how every murder that happens has a murderer. Sometimes it is the ones you love most that hurts you the most. Romeo and Juliet, written by William Shakespeare, is an example of that and though there may be guilt coming from more than one person, only one of them plays the biggest part. With that said, the character that plays the biggest factor in Romeo and Juliet’s death is neither Paris nor Friar Lawrence, but instead is Lord Capulet because he cares about only his pride and pushed Juliet to her limits.…

    Romeo's extreme hastiness is what leads to his early death. One example is the agreement to marry Juliet on the night they met. Romeo did not think thoroughly about the idea and how it is going to affect both of their opposing families (Montague and Capulet). When he announced his decision to the Friar, the Friar immediately insists Romeo to take things slowly. “Wisely and slowly: those who run, trip” (Act 2 scene 3 pg.105) But Romeo is too blinded by love. He ignores the advice and wants to marry Juliet. It seems that Romeo thinks that the world is quickly moving out of his reach so he has to make quick, impulsive decisions without thinking about how it might affect him and the ones who he loves. If he had consulted Friar before he bought the poison and went to go see Juliet, it could have cost him his life and Juliet’s. Juliet is also to blame. She being a very respectful girl does a complete 180 change to someone very hasty and rebellious. Instead of telling the truth to her parents, about her already being married to Romeo, she goes to extreme measures and is willing to kill herself, “ ….in spite of you wisdom, you can offer no help, just say my intention is sensible and I’ll implement it straight away with this knife…” She is just thinking about herself, and does not care about what could happen if she doesn’t get her way, so she begs the Friar for a vial of “poison”, not thinking that the plan might go…

    A scene that shows Romeo’s impulsiveness is when is eager to marry Juliet while the Friar is skeptical of their decision. The Friar offers advice and reminds him, “Wisely and slowly. They stumble that run fast” (2.3.101). Things that are done slowly are done in a more careful manner. Something done carefully is often done better than something that was rushed because there is more time to consider and review. More mistakes tend to rise when it is done quickly. The Friar offers this advice towards Romeo’s impulsiveness towards love. He advises him to not be hasty in your actions for they may lead to mistakes or…

    His spontaneous nature is seen in all his emotions. Romeo goes from obsessing over Rosaline and nothing in the world being able to replace her to being madly in love with Juliet in mere minutes because of his impulsive nature. A few minutes after seeing Juliet for the first time in his life, Romeo decides to marry her that very day. He does not want to wait at all and he would marry her right there if he could. His hastiness then leads him to Friar Lawrence to beg him to marry them. Throughout his conversation with Friar Lawrence, the Friar brings up many good points as to why Romeo and Juliet should wait to get married but Romeo does not care about what anyone else thinks and keeps telling the Friar that he wants to get married to Juliet as soon as possible, which we can see when he says “... but this I pray, That thou consent to marry us today.” (II, iii, 59-60). Romeo’s impulsiveness is evident throughout his relationship with Juliet and we can also see it in many other aspects of the…
