Mistakes In Shakespeare's The Tragedy Of Romeo And Juliet

The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, a script written by William Shakespeare, it certainly is a tragic love story. However, the script is full of problematic events. This play is overloaded with trouble from the start to the end. The Rivalry between houses didn't even cause the most trouble. Juliet Capulet is to blame for everything that went down in this play. It all started at a party at the Capulet house. Romeo and Juliet fall in love with in seconds of seeing each other. The first mistake made is the two of them getting married. Secondly, keeping it a secret was where is all started. Those first two mistakes are kind of a two way street. However, it's when Juliet gets thrown her first obstacle that she messes up. Juliet’s family wanted her
to marry Paris. She decided to take a potion to put her to sleep for 42 hours and wake up just after the wedding. She could’ve just stood up for herself and refused to marry Paris or she could’ve told her family when she married Romeo. But, Juliet decided to take the more selfish option and take the potion. Now Friar was supposed to get a letter to Romeo explaining the whole situation but there was an infectious disease going around so the letter could not get to him. Fastforward, Romeo kills Paris and the himself because he belives Juliet is dead. When Juliet wakes up, she thinks her life is over and them decides to take her life as well. All in all, if Juliet came up with a different option and didn’t take the potion, there wouldve beem three less deaths in Verona.
