If it weren't for Romeo’s actions, both he and Juliet would have never fallen in love, and never ended up taking their own lives. Romeo is most at fault for his death and the death of Juliet because Romeo should have listened to Friar Lawrence. He should not have fallen in love with Juliet so easily, and he should have respected the feud between the two families and stayed away from the Capulets.…

Juliet accompanies Romeo in his infatuation which is essential for the play’s tragic theme because without the willing opposite end it would just be the tragedy of Romeo.…
One major theme is the inevitability of fate, which the characters blame for the death of Romeo and Juliet. He mentions how fate itself is becoming angry, and thus the outcome of the play is tragedy; "Unhappy fortune!"(V.iii.17). The fact of violence being ineffective is shown also through Friar Lawrence. Friar Lawrence is a man who loves too much, and because he loves too much he helps out. Because of this a lot of useless violence is brought up in the play. "Violent delights have violent ends"(II.vi.9), the Friar foreshadows the final outcome of Romeo's already fated death. Another theme is that love can end hate. Friar Lawrence believes in this because he wants to marry Romeo and Juliet so that the two families will end their grudge. Again love is shown as a powerful force when Juliet finds the courage to drink the…
The theme of Romeo and Juliet is about a consuming love. It is a play filled with hatred overcome by love. Old hate versus young love, who take no thought for the past or future. With this love ending by “love-devouring death.” The hatred overcame the young love and left the two in love desperate, thinking death was the only way to be together.…

Thanks to Shakespeare putting in these tragedies to poor Romeo and Juliet’s life the theme was very clear. From the hatred of the families, to Romeo’s banishment, and finally to the death of the two lovers the theme was finally shown. Even though the two lovers tried to run away from fate things just got…

Write two dialogues spoken by the character that reveals this characters personality. O, swear not by the moon, the fickle moon, the inconstant moon, that monthly changes in her circle orb, lest that thy love prove likewise variable. O God, I have an ill-divining soul!…
I decided to put the fight and Tybalt’s death in between the wedding and the wedding night because I felt that it would add action and suspense. It worked out perfectly where Juliet had to test her love for Romeo and if it was worth it or not. Juliet had to decide whether her love for Romeo was strong and important enough even after he killed her dear cousin. I also put it in this order so the Montagues and Capulets would hate each other even more than they did before. This made it so the acceptance from Lord Capulet of Juliet’s love for Romeo would be much harder to receive, adding suspense and making things more dramatic yet emotional.…

He has to confess his newfound love. The fact that Romeo goes to Friar as soon as he meets her, shows that Romeo confides in the Friar. Even the fact that his newfound love is the daughter of Romeos family’s enemy, the Capulet’s, does not stop Romeo from confessing his love to the Friar. In Act 3, scene 3, Romeo goes to Friar Lawrence to see what his punishment for stabbing and killing Tybalt. Romeo calls Friar “Father”, “Father, what news? (Shakespeare 141)”. Friar calls Romeo “son”, “Too familiar is my dear son with such sour company (Shakespeare 141)”. How they address each other is very appropriate for their relationship. Throughout the…

One glance of another woman makes him forget about the one he grieved and believed was the most beautiful in the world.…
