b>Romeo and Juliet Analytical Essay

Romeo and Juliet is a very famous tale of two young lovers who encounter tragedy from their love. No strong love has been more influential, prominent and emotional than the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. The fact that Romeo and Juliet were young lovers adds to the tragedy and the irony of the whole play. The audience shows pity to the couple, but to what extent is this tragedy their own doing? Could of they prevent their deaths? Or could of it been the actions of the other characters.

A contribution to the play that wasn't recognized was the act of youth. Romeo and Juliet are very impetuous which was a real sign of youth in the story. After meeting, it wasn't long before they got married, their feelings for each other was somewhat like 'puppy love.'

It wasn't fate but rather Romeo and Juliet's hasty actions that brought their ultimately deaths. If the two lovers had not been so impulsive, they could have talked with the Friar and decided if this was the really best option for them. A

Another impetuous action is when Romeo learns Juliet is dead. Instead of committing suicide, Romeo should of conferred first with the Friar to learn the circumstances of Juliet's death. Had he done this, he would have realized that she was still alive and therefore he could have lived. They partially brought this up on their own; they are partially to blame for their deaths.

Friar Laurence is another contender for the responsibility of their deaths. He marries the two lovers; offers Juliet to drink the potion, fails to send the letter to Romeo in time and runs selfishly away from the vault for the fear of trouble.

Friar Laurence marries Romeo and Juliet even though he believes that the marriage may lead to a catastrophic outcome. He also marries without the acknowledgement of the parents. Despite this misgivings he chooses to marry them to try help end the feud.

Act 2: Scene 6- Lines 35-38

"... you shall not stay alone Till holy church incorporate two in one."

Later on, the marriage does provoke a brawl, which takes the lives of Tybalt, Mercutio and Lady Montague. Had Friar Laurence not made Romeo a relative of the Capulets by marrying him to Juliet: Mercutio would not have killed Tybalt for revenge; and Lady Montague would not have died from the grief of Romeo's banishment after Romeo killed Tybalt.

Friar Laurence is to blame for the death of Rome for he fails to send the letter, which informs him about the pan. The Friar depended his entire plan on a letter to Romeo:

Act 4: Scene 1 - Lines 115-118

"... and he and I Will watch thy walking, and that very night Shall Romeo bear thee hence to Matuna. And this shall free thee from this present shame.

Lastly, the Friar's selfishness is to blame for the death of Juliet. When Juliet wakes up, the Friar tells her that Romeo is dead and his whole plan is stopped. He tells Juliet to escape with him before the watch comes:

Act 5: Scene 3 - Lines 151-159

"... Stay not to question, for the watch is coming; Come, go, good Juliet... I dare no loner stay."

Juliet refuses to leave, and the Friar exits selfishly for fear of trouble that he will be in trouble of anyone finds out of his involvement in the affair. If the Friar stayed with Juliet and took the dagger out of her hand in time, Juliet would not have irrationally killed herself.

Romeo and Juliet's strong attraction to each other, which some call fate determines where their forbidden love will take them. There are many forces that keep Romeo and Juliet that keep the two young, passionate lover apart.

The leading force, in my opinion, that led to Romeo and Juliet's death is the conflict between the two fathers'. Capulet and Montague. It's because of this conflict that Romeo and Juliet feel they must hide their love, which, in the end, is the cause of their deaths. The enmity of the two households is very strong.

Through this enmity, hatred is bred which is evident when Tybalt joins the fight against the Montague family. Tybalt hates Romeo and doesn't hesitate to show it.

The conflict starts confrontations between Mercutio and Tybalt in

And insults are thrown.

In this play, Shakespeare doesn't tell the reader why the two households are fighting
