Examples Of Rational Decisions In Romeo And Juliet

How one is treated, feels, and ultimately grows, is all based off of personal involvement, leading into important decisions. Rational decisions do not come out of being impulsive. Quite frankly, it is the opposite. When any being makes a decision expeditiously, the out come is being based off of one thought, not because one feels there is an apparent destiny that has to be withheld. In the tragic love story, Romeo and Juliet, and “Pyramus and Thisbe” the impatient decisions of not only the “star-crossed lovers” but their companions and families conclusively result in the death of the children.
