Suicide In Romeo And Juliet

In Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, two teens from feuding families fall in love at first sight. They get married in secret and try to avoid their families' feud, but it only furthers the problems. Romeo is banished from their ancient town, Verona, when he kills someone from the opposite family, leading to an arranged marriage for Juliet to try to lessen the sadness. In an attempt to avoid the wedding, Juliet fakes her death fooling everyone including Romeo. Romeo, unable to face life without Juliet, takes his own life, and when Juliet awakens from her staged death, she sees Romeo and takes her own life as well, thinking life will be unbearable without him. Though they may have taken their lives because they were so deeply in love, in the tragedy Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet both express warning signs that their mental health will later lead to their tragic deaths. Romeo displays the suicidal warning sign of showing rage when he decides to seek revenge and fight Tybalt. Earlier in the scene, Mercutio steps in

Then “banishment,”/Is death misterm’d. Calling death “banishment,”/ Thou cuttst my head off with a golden axe? And smilest upon the stroke that murders me” (Shakespeare 3.3.17-23). He tells the Friar that being banished from Verona is like purgatory, or in other words, banishment is just a different way of saying
