How Did Romeo And Juliet Affect Our Own Choices

Due to the effect of Tybalt, the Prince, Capulet, the parents of Pyramus and Thisbe, and the Dad of Itxla on the lives of the characters, the opinions of others should not affect our own choices and destinies.
The bad decisions of Tybalt, the Prince, Capulet, the parents of Pyramus and Thisbe, and the Dad of Itxla show why the opinions of others shouldn’t affect our own choices. First off, Tybalt plots to get revenge on Romeo for coming to the Capulet party, by saying, “Patience perforce with willful choler meeting makes my flesh tremble in their different greeting. I will withdraw; but this intrusion shall, now seeming with sweat, convert to bittersweet gall” (394 Shakespeare). This shows that Tybalt will intentionally make life miserable

If Tybalt hadn’t affected the lives of Romeo and Juliet then, they both would have lived, revealing why others shouldn’t affect our own destinies. Furthermore, the Prince exiled Romeo for killing Tybalt, by stating, “And for that offense immediately we do exile him hence” (430 Shakespeare).

They longed to marry, but their parents forbade” (488 Hamilton). This shows the parents of these two killing them, albeit in an indirect way. If they allowed these two to marry they would have never had to meet, allowing them to live. Again, if the parents hadn’t intervened and affected the lives of Pyramus and Thisbe then they would have lived. In addition, the Dad of Itxla doesn’t allow Itxla to marry the love of her life, by stating, “Another reason for her being so serious was that she was in love. This in itself was a joyous thing, but the Emperor forbade her to marry” (7 Wood). This quote again shows how the bad decisions of parents will come back to haunt their kids. The Emperor forbidding Itxla to marry will lead to her death. Again, the Dad of Itxla
