The Tragedy Of Romeo And Juliet

The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet
"Two star-crossed lovers take their life (Prologue)." Romeo and Juliet is a love-tragedy about the two most famous lovers written by famous playwright William Shakespeare. The famous tragedy, the suicide of Romeo and Juliet, is caused by the flaws of individual charters including Romeo character flaws, Capulets ignorance, and Friar Laurence's naïve judgement.
Particularly, Romeo’s character flaws play a large role in events leading up to his and Juliet’s death. Romeo's haste to love is a main catalyst for his doom. The tragedy of Romeo and Juliet happens based on their love for each other, but Romeo has barely parted left Rosaline, still in love with her until Act II, scene V, and falls in love with

Lord Capulet's ignorance at his feast allows Romeo and Juliet to meet that allows their love to spark. In Act I, scene V, Capulet is fine with Romeo at his feast, against the wishes of Tybalt, and this decision allows Romeo to meet Juliet, fall in love, and profess the love that eventually leads to his and Juliet's Death. Secondly, Lord Capulet's ignorance of his daughter's wishes leads up to her suicide. Capulet, Juliet's father, arranges for Juliet to marry Paris in Act III scene IV to help her recover from her cousin, Tybalt's, death, and Juliet is obviously distraught and against this so Capulet's decision is to threaten to disown her even though the marriage was his idea to help her: this causes Juliet to seek Friar Laurence for assistance to be with Romeo, and sequentially, Friar Laurence enacts his brilliant plan to save Romeo and Juliet's love which inadvertently kills the couple. Finally, Lady Capulet's ignorance of Romeo and Juliet's love allows for the final scene to happen. In Act III, scene V, Lady Capulet talks with Juliet about Tybalt's death and mistakes her crying for grief over Tybalt and thinks that Juliet hates Romeo for this when in fact she is weeping for her love to Romeo: Lady Capulet makes this misinterpretation due to a miscommunication when Juliet says the line: "Indeed, I never shall be satisfied With Romeo, till I behold him--dead--Is my poor heart for a kinsman

Friar Laurence's lack of better judgment as a neutral adult leads to the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. Throughout the play, Friar Laurence makes decisions that help Romeo and Juliet's love, but only exacerbates their predicament. Firstly, Friar Laurence agrees to marry Romeo and Juliet thinking it could end a long-standing feud even though he has a decent judgement before this decision. In Act II, scene III, Romeo asks Friar Laurence to marry him and Juliet in which the Friar acquiesces to the marriage, the one that leads to Romeo and Juliet's death, in the line "For this alliance may so happy prove, To turn your households' rancour to pure love (Act II, scene III)," but Friar Laurence initially has the better judgment at first as he questions Romeo and Juliet's love Romeo was quick to jump from his fixation of Rosaline to Juliet. Lastly, Friar Laurence's naïve belief he could keep Romeo and Juliet together and secret through his overly-elaborate scheme. In Act 4, Friar Laurence plots with Juliet so she can run away with Romeo to Mantua, but to do so, Friar Laurence creates an overly-complicated plan that requires precise timing, it is his naïve belief that such a plan would work and is needed, a plan that could easily go wrong, that kills Romeo and Juliet. Friar Laurence’s plan is to have Juliet fake her death and communicate with Romeo to be there so they can run away
