Romeo and Juliet made an unworthy decision to take their lives and end it all. Some say it was destiny that brought them to this point, but it was a series of bad choices that brought them to the terrible point of death. The first bad decision that the Shakespeare characters made is their rush to get married. They do not know each other well at this point, but they know that they are in deep love for each other, that is why they secretly get married without informing their parents or the public.

It is too rash, too unadvised, too sudden; too like the lightning, which doth cease to be” (Shakespeare 407). The following bad decision leads Romeo to killing his loves cousin, Tybalt. This choice causes Romeo to be banished out of the city of Verona. This leads to the tragedy that will happen later in the play.
