Self Control In Romeo And Juliet

In the tragedy Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare there are two young lovers. They are Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet. The Montagues and Capulets are two feuding families in Verona who have hated each other for centuries. However, Romeo and Juliet love each other which will produce problems. The two lovers die in the end because of Romeo's loss of self-control. Romeo's loss of self-control leads to several untimely deaths in the Capulet and Montague families. The two lovers first meet at a party by the Capulets. Benvolio persuades Romeo to go to the Capulet party because it is a masquerade, so no one will see who he really is. Benvolio telling Romeo to go to the party and find a new love leads to the kisses that Romeo and Juliet share

Thou desperate pilot, now at once run on the dashing rocks thy seasick weary bark! Here's to my love! O true Apothecary! Thy drugs are quick. Thus with a kiss I die" (5.3.113-121). Romeo finds Juliet supposedly dead and drinks poison to die with her. He kisses her then dies next to her.
