Romeo And Juliet Flaws

Many characters in movies have fatal flaws that cause their story to elongate and become increasingly more difficult. In the Odyssey, Odysseus’ pride gets in the way of his men and himself returning home. But two characters specifically have fatal flaws that destroy their entire lives, Romeo and Juliet. Factors such as irrationality, hastiness, and infatuation all stop Romeo and Juliet from getting their storybook ending. But perhaps the two most fatal flaws in the entire tragedy are the Montague and Capulet feud, and fate that Romeo and Juliet were destined to perish. The feud and fate both had the most impact on the tragic play.

Fate had the most impact on the tragedy for many reasons; one of which is the Friar’s letter to Romeo. The letter

Fate works its way through these characters to foreshadow their untimely deaths. Just like fate plays a massive impact on the tragedy, the Montague and Capulet feud plays almost as much of an impact as

She does not stop crying for hours. However, her parents think that she is mourning the loss of Tybalt. So Lady and Lord Capulet wait for a couple days to marry Juliet. Since Juliet is already secretly married to Romeo, She says things that have a double meaning, such as: “Villain and he be many miles asunder God pardon him; I do, with all my heart; And yet no man like he doth grieve my heart” (3.5.81-83). Soon Lady and Lord Capulet start to catch on to her meaning, and give her some discipline and tell her to marry Paris or they will disown her. So she has to fake her own death to get away from her and Paris' marriage. This causes Romeo to kill himself and Juliet to kill herself shortly after. The Montague and Capulet feud got in the way of Romeo and Juliet on multiple occasions, thus causing a fatal
