In Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare uses the decisions of Romeo, which are influenced by emotions to demonstrate that young people are impulsive. Shakespeare displays Romeo’s hastyness and impulsiveness when he begs Friar Laurence to marry him to Juliet. Just a few hours ago, Romeo was mooning over Rosaline, but immediately after meeting Juliet he decides to ask the friar to “...marry us[Romeo and Juliet] today”. Romeo has only met Juliet twice in the same day, and that in that same day wants to get married to her! This demonstrates the rushedness of Romeo in the form of love. Romeo is quite distraught when Juliet “dies”, so he quickly decides without thinking to “have a dram of poison” - and commits suicide juxtaposed to Juliet’s “dead” body.
