Romeo and Juliet Literary Critisim Essay

In the play Romeo and Juliet written by William Shakespeare is about 2 Lovers by the names of Romeo, a offspring of Montague, and Juliet, the great daughter of the Capulets, whom fell in love at first site at a grand ball despite there parents wishes. The familys of the 2 lovers were bitter rivals and despised each other greatly, but despite that the 2 young lovers decided to marry in secret with the help of friar lawrence but things take a turn for the worst when Romeo is exiled from Verona for killing Juliet's cousin Tybalt. When the two had realized they may never be togather anymore they ended there own lives. Max Radcliz, a literary critic

Within those characthers is the Main Man in the play, Romeo. Radcliz’s argues that Romeo is to blame for the tragedy because he could not control his love and obssession over Juliet. This leads Romeo to act out of anger and kill tybalt later causing a down hill spiral and eventually leading to the deaths of Romeo and Juliet this being the tradgedy that strikes them. In his arguement where he is blaming Romeo for inviting himself to a party he was never invited to which is where he meets juliet and causes all the issues between Tybalt and Romeo “The first reason Romeo is to blame is that he went uninvited to the Capulet party. If Romeo had not gone to the party, Romeo would have never met Juliet, and Tybalt would never have known he was there”(Radcliz). This quote supports the claim that Romeo is at fault for the tragedy between Romeo and Juliet because in Radcliz’s arguemnt he states that if romeo had never gone to the party one that he was never invited too he would have never met Juliet and Tybalt would of never known of his presence and this just opens the gates to the many problems that Romeo will eveutally face throught the play one of those being when Romeo kills Tybalt with gets him exiled from verona and causes juliet to be so sad she fakes her own death but in doing so makes Romeo kill himself because he couldnt live without his juliet and when

In the start of the play Romeo is seemingly in love with roasline but is depressed that she does not feel the same about him so Romeo and his cousin Benvillio sneak into their rival family the Capulets party to attempt to find a new women for the sad Romeo but Romeo just cant get over rosaline just yet “She hath forsworn to love in that vow, Do I live dead to tell that live to tell it now” (Shakespear, 1.1.223-224). This quote is Romeo refrering to Rosaline and him saying that he loves her very much and is sad they Rosaline does not feel the same attraction for Romeo as he does for her which is what eventually leads Romeos cousin Benvillio to invite to sneak Romeo in to the Capulet party in hopes of maybe just maybe being able to find a new women for the already sad and heartbroken Romeo who is extremely desperate and at this party Romeo meets Juliet though a fish tank that is oddly facing into the mens restroom and they “fall in love at first sight” which in turn leads to them gaining a unhealthy obsession with each other. This then leads to them always trying to be together and eventually marrying eachother with angers Tybalt later leading to the tragedy that struck all three of them. “ By
