How Did Romeo And Juliet Make Decisions
I believe that Romeo and Juliets decisions determined their deaths. There were so many things that could have been avoided to not have their love end in the way it ended. One of the ways they could have avoided it was by making better decisions throughout their marriage. One other way that they could have avoided killing themselves is by communicating with Friar Lawrence and with each other. The last way they could have avoided killing themselves was just Romeo not making bad decisions.

Romeo and Juliet could have made so many better decisions throughout their marriage. One of the decisions they could have made was just being honest with their parents. Being honest with your parents goes a long way and brings a whole lot less stress to your life because you don't have to worry about them finding out. Another decision they would have made is to just move slower. I believe that they moved way too fast into marriage; they didn't even get to know one another before deciding to marry one another.

Another reason I believe that their decisions determined their death was by communicating more often. They never talked about the plan and what was going to happen to Romeo after he killed Tybalt. They never made plans to see each

One reason I think this is because Romeo never talked to anyone about his marriage. He never asked for advice on his marriage, nor did he talk to his dad about the marriage. If I had to talk to anyone about a relationship or a marriage, I would ask my parents about it since they have been married and went through what it takes to be in a healthy marriage. I also believe that if Romeo never killed Tybalt, then he would have never been banished from Verona in the first place. Romeo could have easily been the nigger man and just ran away from the fight. He did not have to fight Tybalt because Mercutio had already fought him and lost. Also, Mercutio wished a plague on the Montague and Capulet

    No one will fully understand why they went through with the decision that they made, but the marital couple. When Romeo found out that Juliet was dead, there was an overwhelming feeling of depression that enclosed him, all he could think about was that he needed to be with her, he needed to be with his true love. That what was probably running through his mind when persuaded that apothecary to give him that vial of strong poison. Unknowingly Juliet was still alive and awoken and tried to kiss the poison off of Romeo’s lips but failed then she resulted in stabbing herself. Romeo and Juliet were a very young and naive couple who did not know how to approach a challenging situation…

    The historical hatred between the Capulets and the Montagues immediately compromised the relationship between Romeo and Juliet. They both knew that their parents would forbid their love for each other. Romeo and Juliet recognized that their partnership would never be blessed, yet this parental control could not stop the loving bond between these two young adults. (Act II Scene I) A second example is the arrangement of marriage between Juliet and Paris.Juliet protested that she did not love Paris and would never marry him. Juliet threatens her parents that if they force her to marry Paris, she will end her life for her heart belongs to Romeo.

    Romeo and Juliet’s parents wanted them to get married to other people because they did not know about Romeo and Juliet’s relationship. If Romeo and Juliet were truthful about who they didn’t and did want to marry, then maybe their parents wouldn’t have forced them to marry other people. Also if Romeo and Juliet got married in public maybe it would break the feud because Romeo and Juliet would be disappointed in their family and their family would want them to be…

    There parts in their deaths were blinded by a love that they could not hold back, and who was to blame but there love blinded eyes. Romeo going to the party was a huge mistake. If he would have never gone he would've been able to move on from rosaline and find a true love. Romeo the night of the Capulet party had a dream that told him, “I fear too early, for my mind misgives. Some consequence yet hanging in the stars. Shall bitterly begin his fearful date.” (Act I, Scene IIII, Lines 112-115) If Romeo would have not listened to Mercutio about dreams he would have seen what the universe had in fate for him and wouldn't have gone to the party. But going to the party he found a bride. A bride he could not live without. After the party ROmeo finds a way to get to juliet and says to her, “If they do see thee, they will murder thee.” “Alack, there lies more peril in thine eye Than twenty of their swords. Look thou but sweet, And I am proof against their enmity.” Throughout the story there's constant signs telling you death will find them. Both Romeo and Juliet tell each other they would rather die than be apart from one another. Despite what Friar laurence and lord Capulet have done to agonise the deaths between romeo and Juliet, they are the ones who are listening through there minds not their hearts in carrying out decisions that they don't consider, which leads them to there death. Laying side by side Romeos final words to Juliet he says, “ Here’s to my love.Drinking. O true apothecary, Thy drugs are quick. Thus with a kiss I…

    Another reason Romeo is in charge of the deaths of himself and Juliet, is he killed Tybalt Capulet. Because Romeo killed Tybalt, his cousin by marriage at the time, he was exiled to Mantua and could no longer see his love, Juliet. If Romeo walked away from the fight instead of getting in the middle, he could have easily avoided being exiled and could have stayed in Verona with Juliet. “This day’s black fate on more days doth depend. This but begins the woe others must end.” (3.1.81-82.) in this quote, Romeo is expressing that this fight create people’s fate. He is also saying that the future will be affected by these actions. Romeo should not have fought and killed Tybalt if he wanted to keep Juliet.…

    Romeo and Juliet

    Romeo and Juliet is undoubtedly a tragedy, ending in the pair’s death. But, since the two committed suicide, it is unclear whether their demise was brought on by themselves or sealed through fate. Elizabethans knew that suicide was the devil’s business so this supports it being predestined. Romeo and Juliet’s tale is one of fate rather than freewill. Romeo and Juliet’s fate is prescribed through their parent’s feud, and Shakespeare’s use of dramatic irony and foreshadowing demonstrates this. In particular, this is seen through: Juliet’s consumption of fake poison, their secret marriage, and the audience’s knowledge of Romeo and Juliet’s death from the beginning of the play.…
