In the story of Romeo and Juliet, we face a great tragedy in which the two lovers face their untimely deaths. However this is caused by their drastic and impulsive decisions. From love at first sight, to murdering others, and even giving your life to die with someone you met less than a few days ago. These hasty actions ultimately lead to their demise. However, how did the characters they associated with help lead to this desolate ending? In this essay we will explore the mistakes and consequences of the actions of the lovers and the characters around them, along with what would have happened if the plot had changed and Mercutio had not died at Tybalt's hands. look at the decisions of our two lovers and how they pursued their own destruction. From the beginning it turns out that both our lovers are unhappy with what our world has thrown at them and are looking for something new. However in this desperation they find each other and chase each other. Although the show takes place over several days, just a few are enough for Romeo and Juliet to fall in love and even get married. This is the first drastic action they take, eventually followed by Romeo killing Tybalt in revenge for Mercutio. These events spiral out of control causing Romeo to nearly commit suicide at the thought of never seeing Juliet after being banished, and Juliet expresses great grief. The two lovers' overly dramatic expressions of mutual loss ultimately lead to the wedding being moved to an earlier date. This change comes as a shock to Juliet which causes her to drink the sleeping poison, which causes Romeo to commit suicide, which then causes Juliet to commit suicide. Everything turns into... middle of paper... with Romeo after his death. Now we've seen Juliet give her life to be with a man she fell in love with, but only got to spend a few hours with. I do not believe that Juliet transformed into a beautiful and courageous young woman, but rather that she retained her arrogant ways and brought about her own death through her hasty and drastic measures to avoid a man who she simply threw away with looks. In conclusion, I don't agree with the critic's comment, but I rather think that Juliet is being arrogant and chasing an image rather than a man, perhaps just to escape something she didn't even know. While Shakespeare may have had to disguise this, he failed to do so as it was still evident that Juliet had no true love for Romeo. Whether her love was true or not, or whether this transformation took place, Juliet is truly an interesting character.
