    However, Lord Capulet says that there is no need for a quarrel. This leads to Tybalt being extremely angry, knowing that he is a violent character this is foreboding of the fact that this will torment Tybalt, eat him up in a way &he will want to do something to Romeo to give him pain. The quote, ‘I will withdraw’ foreshadows that a fight will break between Romeo &Tybalt later in the play. However, Shakespeare makes the audience think that Tybalt is going to kill Romeo but in fact later on in the play Romeo kills Tybalt. Romeo shows lack of conflict, even when he discovers that Juliet is a Capulet, it only takes him a few moments to get it in his head then he realises that it is not an issue to him. However, Juliet sees this as the main problem &it takes her longer to realise that it is not an issue. The main conflict in this scene is that both of the lover’s families hate each other and this is the beginning of the ‘Star-crossed’ love that is mentioned in the…

    "Romeo and Juliet" revolves around two lovers whose love is destined for tragedy.

This can by shown in the passage of the Friar rebuking Romeo for his shallowness, and in the passage of the Friar ridiculing Romeo for his impulsive and stubborn act of desiring to wed Juliet, while knowing that their families will not permit their marriage.…

    In the play Romeo and Juliet, written by the great William Shakespeare, two “star crossed lovers” in the roman city of Verona take their lives for the sake of love. So they say, but many question if Romeo and Juliet were truly in “love”. Did they fall for each other for their looks or for their hearts? Each character had to make huge decisions through the story, that later caused more problems to bring them to their downfall. If I was put into Romeos shoes I would have taken a different path from suicide, anger, and drama. I have chosen three major decisions that Romeo made in the story that could have been handled completely differently.…
