Decisions In William Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet

Romeo throughout the play has been shown to have extreme emotions, and not thinking about making decisions based on his first instinct/reaction which makes him very unreliable and unpredictable making him highly gullible.

There is Romeo and Juliet from the play called “Romeo and Juliet” in it these characters are from two different families located in Verona Italy where they despise each other and have been at war for decades and this is the story between two desperate lovers who find themselves being put in risky situations which have almost gotten Romeo killed as he is trying to chase down his love for Juliet. Eventually, they plan to have a wedding and get married but Juliet's cousin Tybalt and Romeo’s sibling Mercutio end up meeting and

Once Mercutio sees Tybalt he starts making fun of Tybalt, which results in a fight that Romeo tries to stop, now here he does have some thoughts since he knows what will happen if anyone fights or dies from the family conflict and he also just wants to stop the violence, but he doesn’t think it all the way through since he is trying to intervene in a fight between 2 grown men wielding swords and only have hate for each other, the result of this is Mercutio dying because Romeo got in the way and as revenge Romeo killing Tybalt.

“This day’s black fate on more days doth depend; This but begins the woe others must end ''. (Shakespeare Act 3. Scene 1. line 125)

This quote shows what Romeo is thinking after hearing that Mercutio died and that is either Romeo dies, Tybalt dies, or they both die but both of them won’t leave alive. This shows that Romeo took his first big emotional hit because he is the reason that the prince’s son, Romeo’s best friend, is dead. This part of the play is the second time that we can see Romeo slowly losing it because instead of leaving he fights to the death even if he dies. But even if he does kill Tybalt he will be greatly punished by the prince, yet he did it anyway.

“Alive in triumph, and Mercutio slain?” (Shakespeare Act 2.

Romeo is losing his mental state throughout the play until he eventually kills himself, through his life in the play nothing goes his way and everything backfires on him. This ultimately ends up with him making wild uncontrolled decisions, with him taking the risk and attending the Capulet party so he can find someone that will take the broken place in his heart left by Rosaline and him killing Tybalt because he got in his way distracting him and ended up killing
