Why Is Romeo And Juliet Wrongly Wrong
Wrongly Blamed
Who? Who’s at fault for this appalling tragedy of which has paid its consequence with the wretched deaths of these young and destined pair of lovers? These lovers who suffered unfortunate, yet passionate feelings for each other. A sad young boy with a love addiction meets a younger sad female virgin. These lovers that refuse to call themselves by Montague and Capulet. In the beginning, the boy was heartbroken. He was heartbroken over beautiful Rosaline. He was depressed. In the beginning the girl was told she had to marry. She didn’t want to. She was depressed. It was in the beginning when the Capulet’s party took place. It was at this event that the boy first laid his eyes on the girl. It was at this event that their first kiss took place. It was on this night they learned the other was the family’s enemy. And, it was on this night they confessed their love to each other. The two had a love so passionate that they were married the next morning. As the lovers’ waited to see each other again that night, a banishment was amended. The boy was banished. And why? For he had slain the girls dear cousin! The girl wept; however not over her cousin's …show more content…
death, but the boy’s banishment! They spent their first and last night together and the boy was to leave and never return. This girl was so heartbroken that she went to the friar who had married her. She went and threatened her own death if he couldn’t help her. Of course, the friar agreed. He told her of his plan and she agreed. The plan was going strong, until there was a omission. The boy had not been properly informed of his part. So, the outcome was tragic. A suicide on both of the lovers parts; but, the feud was over. This is the story, the tragedy, of Romeo and Juliet.
The brain and love mixed together create a dangerous concoction, to say the least. Love is one of the most powerful sensations on Earth. So powerful that people all around the world will, “They sing for love, they dance for love, they compose poems and stories about love. They tell myths and legends about love. They pine for love, they live for love, they kill for love, and they die for love.” This is proven true in Romeo and Juliet. Romeo killed Tybalt, Juliet’s cousin, to save his relationship with Juliet. They both paid the price for love and died for it. It is very powerful. This sensation can be even more powerful when somebody wants something they can’t have. This is shown through Romeo, firstly with Rosaline. Shakespeare didn’t include or write about Rosaline too much in this play, but he did write that Rosaline was part of the Capulet family. Lord Capulet’s niece. Romeo had first fallen for Rosaline. I believe part of their love only existed because Romeo knew it was wrong and he couldn’t ever really have Rosaline. I think that also contributed to his love, his obsession, with Juliet. It also contributed to their deaths.
Another contributor to this tragedy is Romeo and Juliet’s character traits. Beginning with Romeo. Romeo's tragic flaw is his impetuosity, his rashness of action before thinking thoroughly. This is proven when (1) he falls in love seconds after seeing Juliet, “O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright! It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night Like a rich jewel in an Ethiope's ear; Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear! So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows, As yonder lady o'er her fellows shows. The measure done, I'll watch her place of stand, And, touching hers, make blessed my rude hand. Did my heart love till now? forswear it, sight! For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night.” When it comes to Juliet, her flaw is her passionate love for Romeo. She loves Romeo so much that she protects him after he murders her cousin, she is willing to go to the ends of the Earth just to see him, she sacrifices everything to be with him.
Some may argue that this tragedy is Romeo and Juliet's fault because they can control themselves and change themselves; however, this is wrong. Romeo and Juliet cannot change themselves. People don’t change. They cannot change how they are and always have been. Romeo cannot control his addiction and it’s not Juliet’s fault that she’s young and passionate.
The final culprit to this tragedy is the fact that Romeo and Juliet are crazy.
This is proven through the story because anytime something went wrong in either of their lives, they would botch threaten suicide immediately, “These are two depressed people unable to cope with stress and obstacles in life! Of course, this could be due to Juliet's youth - and to Romeo's impulse disorder. But these are traits of the young lovers themselves, not of their families or the barriers their last names create.” They were unstable, depressed. They both had a good reason too- Juliet was to marry a man she had no interest in, and Romeo was dealing with heartbreak over Rosaline. They both meet diagnostic criteria to be diagnosed with serious mental disorders, that’s something out of their control. They needed a
psychiatrist.
In conclusion, blaming the two lovers for this horrible tragedy would be wrong. They didn’t do anything that they felt they didn’t have to- although we may see it as extreme, their mental disorders made it seem normal. It was something that Romeo and Juliet couldn’t control and they shouldn’t be blamed for this tragedy. Romeo and Juliet are not at fault.
