Have you ever felt indecisive or thought “should I do it or should I not”? In The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare reflects on the human nature of internal conflict.

I have found evidence that states that the cause of Romeo and Juliet’s death was in fact adult interference and youth/Inexperience. The reason that adult interference and inexperience are a huge part in Romeo and Juliet's life is because there is a lot of evidence that shows the adults and their youth were the reason that Romeo and Juliet took their lives.

We can see adult interference when the nurse is talking to Juliet and says, “I think you are happy in this second match" (Act 3.5.23).
This leads to both Mercutio and Tybalt’s deaths, as well as Romeo’s banishment. Soon after the fights, there is temporary miscommunication between the Nurse and Juliet. “Alack the day! He’s gone, he’s killed, he’s dead!” (III.ii.38).
