Capulets In Romeo And Juliet

“A pair of star-crossed lovers take their lives,” (William Shakespeare.) Shakespeare has used this to allow the audience to imagine the play's plot from the beginning. Two star-crossed lovers in the Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare don’t end together, as they expected. The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet is about two families known as the Montagues and the Capulets. Romeo is a Montague, and Juliet is a Capulet. These two families are enemies, so the teenagers of the two families fall in love at a party, not knowing each other’s identity. Then, later, they learn that they are children of two family foes which makes them tight together and leads them to the wrong path with the choices they make, which, unfortunately, leads to their

A long feud between the Montagues and the Capulets disrupts the city of Verona which causes fights or even murder leading to tragic results for Romeo and Juliet. One example at the beginning of the play two servants from the house of Capulet were talking about their hatred of the Montagues. They meet two servants from the house of Montague and a fight breaks out, which is later broken up by the ruler of Verona, Prince Escalus. The prince threatens the Montagues and Capulets with death if they fight again. After Juliet and Romeo have discovered that their families are enemies, they marry in secret. Romeo and Juliet both go to Friar Lawrence’s cell to get married the next day they have met. The Friar made a foolish choice to get them married because Juliet was thirteen almost fourteen and Romeo is also a teenager, they were not mature enough to get married when they had just met. This could have gone better if the family feuds didn’t begin to lead Romeo and Juliet to marry in secret to end the feud with their death. After Romeo and Juliet have died Lord Montague says that he will build a golden statue of Juliet, and Lord Capulet reconciles with the Montague family. Their own decisions were an outcome of their tragic

Yes, fate brought Romeo and Juliet together and caused them to meet and fall in love at first sight, but their decision and choices led to tragic events. Romeo and Juliet were not the only characters who made bad choices. Decisions made by the characters such as Mercutio’s agreement to fight Tybalt (a Capulet) leading to his death then Romeo’s choice of revenge for Mercutio, his friend and the kinsman to the Prince. In Act 3 Scene 1 lines 123-124, Tybalt says “Thou wretched boy, that didst consort him here. Shalt with him hence.” And Romeo responds “This shall determine that.” During these lines, Romeo finds out that Mercutio is dead and he is extremely upset. Instead of mourning about the situation, He chose to fight Tybalt and kill him. Romeo led to his banishment from Verona by the prince. Another example is Friar Laurence’s choice to give Juliet a sleeping poison thinking it would help her not to marry Paris. Lord Capulet, who is Juliet’s dad, chose to marry Juliet to Paris, his friend after Romeo’s banishment. Later Romeo’s decision to buy poison and die with Juliet. Choices play a big role in this play every character decides or chose to do something that led to the tragic end of Romeo and Juliet. Fate rules actions in the Tragedy of Romeo and
