In 2021 there were about 48,183 suicide cases. In modern times a man would never kill himself to be with his love. In 1597 William Shakespeare wrote a play about exactly that. Romeo and Juliet, two star crossed lovers born into different families had driven themselves to their death. Hate is what influences Romeo to kill himself.
All men in the world do not appreciate their masculinity to be challenged, which goes against their own code of honor. In the play The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, Romeo, Tybalt and Mercutio disrupt each other’s codes of honor by their actions in Act III, scene i. These three men’s codes of honor contribute to the tragedy of the play because of their views on masculinity, such as when Tybalt kills Mercutio and when Romeo kills Tybalt. Here, Tybalt mocks Romeo’s masculinity, leading Mercutio to duel him in order to honor Romeo.

Her fatal flaw, as tragic heroes often have, was her fear of coming out and being honest to her parents. If Juliet had told her father that she had already been married to Romeo, he might have been stopped from arranging a marriage between her and Paris. Instead, she chose to try and prevent the marriage, still behind their back, by other means. “Unless thou tell me how I may prevent it…” (DBQ Project: Who’s to Blame, Document C), she said to Friar Lawrence, asking how she could avoid the arranged wedding. This leads to Juliet faking her death, causing grief, Romeo’s suicide, and her own
I have chosen one of the key people in this book that led to the deaths of Romeo and Juliette is Friar Laurence. I am choosing to punish the Friar because in act 2 Romeo went to his church and told him they would like to get married. Even after the Friar said that this was not true love, the only reason was that she was a pretty girl and that “man's heart lives in man's eye.” He still agreed to marry them. This shows that he didn’t care if they loved each other and was more concerned about the ongoing fight between the families.
Even though fate and destiny bear some responsibility for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet, the impact love had on their brains is to blame since it possessed them and made them take more risks. When Romeo and Juliet first fell in love with each other, their love possessed them, which influenced them to make the decisions that led to their deaths. For instance, in a TED Talk titled “The Brain in Love,” Helen Fisher explains how romantic love can cause one to lose their “sense of self” and not be able to “stop thinking about another human being” (Doc C). This describes how romantic love can possess one, causing them to make poor decisions they wouldn’t normally make.
Parents. Everyone has them, and everyone either loves them or hates them. They give their children a house to live in, provide food and water, raise and teach them valuable lessons.

“I’ll look to like, if looking liking move” (21). The conversation was about the arranged marriage in which Juliet don’t even know whom she is going to marry.

Lord Capulet should be punished because his insistence on Juliet's marriage to Paris contributes to her tragic end. When Lord Capulet threatens Juliet, he puts immense pressure on her to take drastic measures. " Thursday is near; lay hand on heart, advise. An you be mine, I'll give you to my friend; An you be not, hang, beg, starve, die in the streets" (III. 5. 191-194).
In William Shakespeare’s prominent play, Romeo and Juliet, the defiance of the teenagers leads to their ill-fated end of the two star-crossed lover, Romeo and Juliet. For example, Romeo displays disregard to authority when “At this same ancient feast of Capulet’s sups the fair Rosaline, whom thou so loves, with all the admired beauties of Verona” (1.2.84-86). This quote, said by Mercutio, represents how Romeo casually neglects the problem that is the feud between the Capulet and Montague families. It informs the way that he falls for a Capulet but is heartbroken, then attends a party of the Capulets to find another eligible Capulet to get over that Capulet. Also, in the scene in which Tybalt had ignored the wishes of Lord Capulet’s that were,
Romeo and Juliet Final Essay Martin Luther King Jr. once said “Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend.” This statement is proven by Romeo and Juliet. The story of Romeo and Juliet is so tragic that you have to wonder who is responsible for everything. The evidence from the book of the feud, not making Romeo leave, and the forced marriage all point to Capulet being responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. Capulet, Juliet’s father, is very caught up in the feud between his family and the Montagues that he would do anything to defeat them.
Take thou this vial, being then in bed”(Act 4, Scene 1, Line 91-93). Juliet goes to the extreme by preferring to pretend to be dead so she does not have to marry Paris. These ‘wrong’ actions are all because Juliet sees the value in who Romeo is and that the idea of Paris is empty in the sight of love “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet.” (Act 2, Scene 2, line 43-44).
Poe’s relation to The Cask of Amontillado The story “The Cask of Amontillado” is a short story full of revenge, hatred and ultimately death. Many believe that this story is made entirely from Poe’s imagination. In reality, Poe used events that occurred in his own life to write the majority of the plot in this story. Poe based most of the story off of his alcohol addiction, his family’s deaths from tuberculosis, and the dark and often macabre times that he had experienced in his life.
In the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, he tells the story of two people who fall in love, Romeo, a Montague, and Juliet, a Capulet. Their families have been feuding for as long as they can remember, making their love for one another very dangerous. The two go to extreme lengths to be with each other, but this eventually results in both of them losing their lives. Throughout this story, Shakespeare conveys through his use of syntax and diction with wrathful tone that hatred can make people act irrationally loyal, and this hatred can cloud one’s morals. We first see Shakespeare demonstrate the dangers that come from fighting without proper reason in the very beginning between the characters Tybalt and Benvolio.
