Romeo + Juliet
William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet has evolved over the years to be one of the most famous and well-known stories of all time. Shakespeare shows us that the main culprit for the tragic ending of Romeo and Juliet is the constant feuding between the two families. Romeo and Juliet are giving themselves a harder time with their rash decision-making and constant stupidity, although some individuals along the way are also to blame. As well as this, chance and good luck just aren't on their side. With all of these problems and Romeo and Juliet destined to be star crossed lovers, this story was bound to end in tragedy.Romeo and Juliet come from two very different families, so different that each family spends its life at war with one another. Both famil
ies are extremely wealthy and treated like royals by the town in which they both live in. They never stop and think about what they are going to do they just do it in the heat of the moment. An example of this is and I quote wisely and slow: they stumble that run fast, he then goes and tells them he will marry them in 3 hours. That I must love a loathed enemy is Juliet's attitude towards Romeo when she finds out that he is a Montague. Throughout the play Romeo and Juliet are always making rash decisions. In conclusion fate has played the biggest role in this story. If by chance Romeo had received the letter from Friar Lawrence about Juliet the story would have ended happily, if it wasn't for bad luck Romeo wouldn't have been caught and banished from Verona and if Romeo had walked into the bathroom just a few seconds later he would never have seen Juliet and the whole story would not have even started. This is another reason that their relationship ended in tragedy. If their families were to ever find out about their relationship it would be considered a disgrace to the family name. As prince would have said it:For never was a story of more woeThan this of Juliet and her Romeo. The advice he gave was generally very smart, but the Friar would always go against it. After the truth is revealed about which family they're from they know that they must keep their feelings for each other a secret. Other individuals also brought on the tragedy like the messenger not passing the message on to Romeo, Their parents, Balthazar for jumping to conclusions and the drug dealer for selling the poison to Romeo. The whole story of Romeo and Juliet is built around chance, bad luck and timing. If they stoped and thought through some of their decisions or planned their lives I believe that the story would have changed dramatically.
