Relationship Between Romeo And Juliet Selfish
After reading the play “Romeo and Juliet”, we know the character of Juliet and her behavior. Is her behavior selfish or not? I think there are many arguments to support both views, but in my view that I think her behaviour is selfish.
Firstly, Juliet was born into a rich and complex family and she is an only child in this family. This condition makes her behavior more selfish as because of her suicide, there would be no one to look after her parents. Moreover, her family and her lover’s family are two rival families.

She is rebellious and disobedient towards her parents, because they would like her to marry their choice. It shows us she behaves unselfishly. She is still loyal to her husband Romeo, although the result of her marriage to Paris is better. Romeo is banished and become Paris is a gallant, young and noble gentleman, I think many girls would choose Paris rather than Romeo. For her parents, she is a selfish girl. She still deceives them and does not tell them that she has married Romeo, because she wants to fulfil her own
