Impulsive Choices In Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet

The people to blame for Romeo and Juliet’s death is nobody else, but themselves. In the play Romeo and Juliet made idiotic and impulsive choices, which led to their tragic death. One example is when the play, Romeo and Juliet states, “This fight will decide who dies. They fight. Tybalt dies.” (Romeo. 3.1. 128) This illustrates, that Romeo couldn’t compressed his anger and decided to commit a felony. His actions were caused by anger and rage which reveals that Romeo has made reckless and impulsive decisions in the play. The murder of Tybalt, caused Romeo to be banished from Verona. If Romeo didn’t act imprudent during the play, then it would have been easier and possible for Friar Lawrence to tell Romeo the plan of Juliet’s fake death. It wouldn’t be necessary for Friar Lawrence to send a messenger to Romeo, if Romeo was still in Verona.

Juliet still chooses to love and mourn for Romeo, after he murdered one of her family members. She made a foolish choice for choosing to stay with the man she has known for a few days, and who’s also the murderer of her cousin. Although Juliet acknowledges the fact that Romeo is a murderer and she barely knows him, her irrational thinking causes her to stay with Romeo instead of finding a new lover. Juliet stayed with Romeo by her own will, which would later cause Juliet to fake her own death and actually kill herself. Therefore, the teenagers are to blame because when they think they are making wise choices for their fate, they’re doing the complete opposite, which led to the end of their
