Examples Of Free Will In Romeo And Juliet

Fate is something we cannot control for it is a higher power than any of us. William Shakespeare wrote “Romeo and Juliet” which is a play about two Italian families who hate each other but whose children have fallen in love. Romeo and Juliet’s tragedy was due to fate, all the events that weren't by choice so the tragedy was made to happen. It was set in stone and no one could do anything about it.

If he wasn’t such a bad person he wouldn’t get so upset about Romeo going to the party when Romeo didn’t do anything but find his true love. If Tybalt wouldn’t have been so hard-headed everything could be fine. Tybalt is to blame for the tragic deaths of Romeo and Juliet because he could have ended the situation without having a

He insisted on duelling with Mercutio and Romeo. Romeo refuses but Tybalt being the fiery hot-headed character that he was who acted on his emotions alone without thinking of the consequences, fought Mercutio anyway. This lead to Mercutio being slain and causing Romeo to burst into anger and kill Tybalt. By killing Tybalt, Romeo was exiled by the Prince. With Romeo exiled from Verona, he is not able to reach Juliet safely, thus forcing Juliet to make an elaborate false death so that she could be with Romeo.

From the beginning of the play it is evident that Tybalt is a strong willed and anxious character. This does not play a key role in the play until the party at Capulet’s house. Tybalt notices Romeo and his friends at the party and becomes extremely angered because they are Montagues at a Capulet party. Instantly Tybalt says to his Page, “Fetch me my rapier, boy” (1.5.54). Tybalt has such an infuriating personality that he intends to kill poor Romeo, who is just trying to have a good time.

One of the most asked questions about the star-crossed lovers, Romeo and Juliet, is “Who is to blame for the untimely deaths of these young lovers?”. The play Romeo and Juliet, written by William Shakespeare, is filled with very influential emotions. The tragic deaths of Romeo and Juliet were brought about by many characters such as Lord Capulet, fate and a feud between two families. One of the most substantial characters in Romeo and Juliet is fate. There are many times where Shakespeare leads us to believe that fate is involved with the hapless deaths of Juliet and Romeo.

Tybalt- although a character not often thought of too much in the play of Romeo and Juliet, he does have some significance to the story. He’s important enough to be killed, anyway. It is said that he was killed by Romeo... but is that really true? Yes, Romeo did stab him to death, but who is the real person to blame? The culprit here would be none other than… Tybalt himself!

The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare is one of the most popular tragedies and pieces of literature in the modern world. However, most people fail to recognize the butterfly effect of decisions that some side characters make that lead to major and sometimes catastrophic events in the story. One of these characters, for example, is Tybalt. Even in the character descriptions at the beginning of the story, Tybalt is described as having a short temper and often has his pride hurt easily. Tybalt Capulet is a dangerous and unpredictable character who causes most of the conflict in The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet because of the way he was raised and his prideful behavior.

Tybalt is one of the characters who should be held responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. As a Capulet, Tybalt has a burning hatred for Montagues. Tybalt’s hatred leads to multiple rash decisions which ultimately resulted in Romeo’s banishment. One of these decisions is Tybalt’s insistence on fighting Romeo. Tybalt “sent a letter to [Lord Montague]’s house,” (Shakespeare 104).

However this was not the case and ultimately Tybalt's mindless loyalty and passion for the Capulet name led him to manifest the feud himself, inclining him to make violent and relentless decisions that altered following events within the

Fate vs. Free Will In the play Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare uses the theme of free will to help drive the storyline and highlight the importance of individual choice and its consequences. In act two scene 2, Romeo climbs over the Capulet's garden wall to see Juliet just following their first meeting. In this scene, Romeo shows his free will and determination to be with Juliet despite the obstacles in their way. However, this decision ultimately leads to Juliet implying the idea of marriage, which causes sudden unrealistic expectations, prolonging the tragic death for both lovers. Free will shows in act 3, scene 1, when Mercutio fights Tybalt, although Tybalt did not challenge him personally to the duel.

Throughout everyone's life, decisions are made using free will. But in the end, fate is what determines the outcome of everything. In the book Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, there are decisions made by the characters using their free will, but no decisions could’ve stopped the tragedy of there love. All of the events leading up to Romeo and Juliet's death were not caused by free will, but they were caused by fate.

We're first introduced to Tybalt when Romeo crashes the Capulet's party. Tybalt doesn't like Romeo from the start and even threatens to kill him. Tybalt is at fault because he killed Mercutio. “There was no reason for Tybalt to kill Mercutio; it was completely unnecessary. Romeo’s rash retaliation for Mercutio’s death caused Romeo to be banished from Verona,” (Radlicz).

In the play Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet are at the mercy of the stars. This is shown through the fact that the two lovers are impacted by many circumstances beyond their control, essentially caused by the family feud between the Montague’s and the Capulet’s. However, Romeo and Juliet do choose to control their own lives by the decision’s they constitute and compose without the influence from someone else in the play, such as getting married in secret and taking their own lives. Despite this small amount of control they are still bound by fate shown by the reasons behind the secret marriage, Tybalts’ death and the suicides. Fate is one of the main thematic representations in the play Romeo and Juliet.

The theme of Fate vs. Free Will is dominant in William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet; however the theme of fate is more significant than free will. In the play both Romeo and Juliet meeting was contributed by fate as Shakespeare mentioned in the prologue that Romeo and Juliet were star-crossed lovers that were meant to meet, fall in love and their death would be the reason for the feud to end between the two families. Fate was the reason Capulet’s servant asked Romeo and Benvolio to help him read the invitation for him that contained all the names of the people that were invited to the ball Capulet hosted. “…If you be not of the house of Montagues, I pray come and crush a cup of wine.

Tybalt illustrates passionate hate which makes him very impatient with the Montagues and leads to his own death and causes emotional distress to the Capulet family. Accordingly this can be seen when Romeo goes to the fest at the Capulets and Tybalt wants to kill him solely because he was present at the fest. This, by his voice, should be a Montague. — (to his PAGE) Fetch me my rapier, boy.
