    No one will fully understand why they went through with the decision that they made, but the marital couple. When Romeo found out that Juliet was dead, there was an overwhelming feeling of depression that enclosed him, all he could think about was that he needed to be with her, he needed to be with his true love. That what was probably running through his mind when persuaded that apothecary to give him that vial of strong poison. Unknowingly Juliet was still alive and awoken and tried to kiss the poison off of Romeo’s lips but failed then she resulted in stabbing herself. Romeo and Juliet were a very young and naive couple who did not know how to approach a challenging situation…

    Alex Grey once said, “In a society that tries to standardize thinking, individuality is not highly prized.” Romeo and Juliet were deeply in love, but the world around them would not allow them to be together.

The ridicule from their own parents and families caused for the downfall of the love-struck teenagers.

    First of all, Lady Capulet is Juliet's mother. A mother is suppose to be close to her daughter, and is the person who knows and understands Juliet the most. But in this case her mother is the first person to let her down. For example, when Lord Capulet made the decision in act three scene 5 that Juliet should marry Paris, her mother stood up for that decision even though she knew that Juliet didn't want to marry Paris. I think her mother should of been on Juliet's side, because she's her mother and she has experience in marriage and should know marrying someone you do not like is not a good idea. Also, another betrayal by Lady Capulet is that she teaches Juliet to judge men by their money, their social rank and their appearance. For example, she recommended Paris to Juliet because he is rich, good looking and on the Capulet's side. This is not good. Because Juliet really does love Romeo, and when her mother says things like that, it really makes Juliet upset, because Romeo is not rich, and their family hates her family and vice versa. These points show how shallow Lady Capulet's character is. This prevents Juliet to ask advise from her mother, and cannot get guidance from her.…

    Romeo snuck onto the Capulet’s property to visit Juliet, this was an issue because Romeo being a Montague would have been killed on sight if seen by a Capulet other than Juliet. Romeo was unconcerned by that fact, but Juliet realized the risk he was taking in visiting her, and warned him,“If they do see thee, they will murder thee.” (2.2.70). Friar Lawrence was an accomplice in Romeo and Juliet’s union, and although he warned Romeo by saying, “Wisely and slow. They stumble that run fast.” (2.4.90) he ignored his own advice and married them hastily anyway. Friar Lawrence aided Juliet in her doom by creating a faulty plan that was supposed to save her and Romeo, but only if everything went according to plan, things did not work out correctly and Romeo and Juliet both ended up dying. Romeo and Juliet like everyone made mistakes, and had to take whatever misfortune they were dealt with.

    Conflict and violence in the play are presented in a variety of different ways. Throughout the play, there runs this idea of a conflict between love and hate- the key part of Romeo and Juliet’s problems. This conflict in part leads to the violence of the play, with the feud providing the catalyst for events such as Mercutio’s death and the demise of the star-crossed lovers. Interpreting conflict as a discord of feelings, actions, and events, the play shows how conflict creates an atmosphere of violence that permeates their language and actions. Violence begets violence, causing a chain reaction that ends in tragedy. There is a contrast between the internal nature of the conflict and the physical nature of the violence within the play.…
