Romeo and Juliet’s Death A famous American psychologist Gordon W. Allport once said, “We cannot know the young child's personality by studying his systems of interest, for his attention is as yet too labile, his reactions impulsive, and interests unformed.” Children can not be studied because they are still impulsive and can’t fully form what they like and don’t like. At the beginning of The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, Romeo and Juliet meet at a family party and they fall in love that night they decide to get married with the help of Friar Laurence who agrees to marry them. Tybalt is then mad about Romeo coming to his family party without an invitation so he fights Romeo and his friends. Leading

For example, after Romeo and Juliet meet at a party where he falls in love with her he sneaks into her backyard to talk to her. They agree to get married the next day, so Romeo goes to the priest Friar Laurence so that he can help them get married in secret. Romeo says to Friar Laurence, “What thou must combine.

Romeo says to himself, “Well Juliet, I will lie with thee tonight. Let’s see for means” (Rom. 5. 1. 34-35). Romeo falls apart and immediately wants to find a way to join her by killing himself. This was a reason for his and Juliet’s death because he wasn't patient enough to take time to think about any details or even if the news he got were true instead he went straight into wanting to kill himself. He was very impatient but if he took his time and didn't act rationally then he would have never bought the poison and gone to Juliet's tomb to die with her, but he did so when Juliet awoke she saw him lying dead next to her and she decided to kill herself as well. To sum up, Romeo's impatience leads to him and Juliet killing
