DISAGREE:

The novel Romeo and Juliet comprises of two leading characters from two noble households whom hold a hatred to one another. These two leading characters Romeo and Juliet , whom are a pair of star cross’d lovers forced to conceal their eternal love from the feud and their families. These ‘star cross’d lovers’ experience love at first sight, marriage, banishment and death, all of which is completely unrealistic and artificial.

Romeo and Juliet contribute to their death but fate decides the tragedy of events upon ending the life
When Juliet first meets Romeo she is respectable, mature and innocent whilst Romeo is immature, hopeless romantic, depressed and curious.
You would expect Juliet to think through her decision to marry a montage let alone kill herself for one. Yet Rome is only 16 years old and Juliet 13 years old, their youth greatly contributes to their death.

Both you and I, for Romeo is exil’d.

    In the Shakespearian tragedy Romeo and Juliet two “star-crossed” lovers accumulate great admiration towards each- other while falling deeply in love, but what exactly led to their down-fall? Was it the Romeo’s tragic flaw of impetuosity? Or was it simply just fate? Although both could have played a role, I think the ultimatum was Romeo’s tragic…

    Unit 5 - Sheet 11 Tiarn Barton-Ilic 31/7/2015 Interpretations of Romeo and Juliet Interpretation 1 Main Argument: The main argument of Interpretation 1 is that all the characters, and in turn everyone alive, has no control of their lives and everything is according to the string of fate and that Romeo and Juliet's demise was unavoidable.un Interpretation 2 Main Argument: The author of this interpretation believes Romeo's impulsiveness is to blame for the death of the two lovers. His quick change of heart, which caused him to fall out of love with Rosaline and in love with Juliet, is one of many emotional flaws which led to the two, and a handful of others, dying.

    William Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet is without doubt one of the most well-known love story. Throughout the five acts of the play, one tragedy follows another, with the famous suicide of Romeo and Juliet as a tragic conclusion. Throughout the play, it may seem that Romeo caused these events to unfold, however it is unjust to say that he bears all responsibility for the tragedy. The decisions, actions and circumstances that other characters made and faced have also contributed to the tragic outcome. Nevertheless, it is also in the hands of fate that destined the immature deaths of Romeo and Juliet…

    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 is a ageless work of art that still captivates and cultivates people and audiences all around the world 416 years after it was originally written by William Shakespeare. It was perhaps one if not the most renowned play he had ever the fortune and pure creative brilliance of writing. It is a play of avid romance and terrible tragedy in which two young lovers are deprived of what they want most in life... each other. So, they did like any other rational pair of young adults would do; they killed themselves. But who is to blame for their passionate demise? There are several people who would seem most likely, but in the end, Romeo and Juliet killed themselves. They physically took their own lives, of…

    The literary device of metaphor to contrasts and compares a sail of a ship to a path in life emphasizing the importance of the decision he is about to make. The sail also symbolizes fate or God, Romeo hoping that it will direct his course. Thus, he gives up control over his actions by surrendering to that “fate” or God in control of his life. Even though Romeo was presented with this vision of his death that he could use to prevent disaster, yet he chose to let tragedy befall him. This shows that by giving up control of his life to fate and choosing to go to the Capulet’s party, Romeo brought the tragedy upon…

    Their endings were based on their actions as characters, but fate trumped all of the impetuous actions. It was just their destiny to fall in love and essentially die on the terms of love. Some may argue that free will is the most responsible for their death, however this is not so. Yes, Romeo and Juliet made some impulsive and self oriented decisions that lead them to their death, but there was already a predestined plan for their lives. Throughout the story Shakespeare hinted at the idea of fate, which makes it a stronger point because of how it is emphasized. However, Romeo and Juliet went through so many obstacles to be together in the story because they didn’t care what anyone said or did to stop them. Even though their love was only beginning before it ended abruptly, fate played a major role in it. Fate was most definitely responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet because of foreshadowing, the feud between the Montagues and Capulets and the power of the…

    Romeo fights and kills Tybalt just because Tybalt slays Mercutio, despite knowing the consequence of fighting -death- he still takes it upon himself as a way to seek repentance for Mercutio’s death. He is able to restrain himself before the death of Mercutio but after his death Romeo falls to his impulsiveness and fights Tybalt. After killing Tybalt and getting banishment instead of a death sentence, Romeo refuses to look on the bright side and goes to Friar Lawrence where he says “Ha, banishment! Be merciful, say ‘death’.” (III, iii, 12), this shows that he deems that life without Juliet is a life not worth living. He then continues to weep and decides to take his own life, the Friar stops him but had Romeo stopped being so quick to make decisions he would have realised banishment is better than death and would be rejoicing instead of weeping. Romeo hears about Juliet's “death” from his servant Balthasar and he instantly decides to kill himself, he doesn't mourn his loss or even cry, he simply buys poison, rides to Verona and kills himself. Had he spoken to anyone, taken any advice or sat down and thought about what had happened then he would realize that suicide is not the answer but he had his mind made in a minute, he wanted to be dead with his wife. Romeo’s nature of making decisions without thinking or barely thinking at all is shown at many key parts in the story and leads to his…

    The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. A famous piece of literature, known for its ultimate love, and unfortunate events. And it all closes with death, but who’s to blame for these misfortunes? None other than Juliet herself. She was dishonest, didn’t stick up for what she wanted, and made irrational decisions that were unquestionably ludicrous.

    In William Shakespeare’s well-received play, The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, two star-crossed lovers unite resulting in a fatal ending. Juliet, coming from the house of the Capulets, was only a young girl who was promised to a lord in two summers if she liked him back. This was a strict agreement with the family because it would have given them the power of the town because of his lordship. But when Juliet met Romeo, she became infatuated with him which triggered her immaturity to interfere with many of the decisions that she made, leading her onto a tragically-ending path. Juliet’s beauty and passion lead to her death because of her unwise and hasty decision making; fate and freewill influence her outcome by showing her the path of death and her taking it.…
