Instead Romeo’s servant, Balthasar delivered the news of Juliet’s death to him first. Romeo was so saddened by the news that he went to the Apothecary to buy poison. Romeo went back to Verona and went to Capulet tomb where he saw Juliet’s lifeless body. “And thus with a kiss I die”(5.3.120) these were Romeo’s dying words as he drank the poison lying next to Juliet.

Romeo’s friend Benvolio hears of Juliet’s “death,” and goes to seek out Romeo to tell him about her death. This causes Romeo to see Juliet while she is in the death-like sleep, making him think she is dead. When he sees this, he takes a potion he bought before, and ends his life because life without Juliet would not be a life worth living. Juliet awakes to see Romeo dead, which in turn causes her to end

Juliet does not wish to get married to Paris, since she had married Romeo, and still, no one has found out. Friar helps Juliet, friar gives Juliet a potion to drink, this will make her look dead for two days, when she is actually sleeping. Romeo is been banished from Verona because of two deaths, Tybalt and Mercutio. While Juliet has drunk this, romeo has no clue what is going on. Friar sends a letter, as he send this letter, he send out Friar John a messenger to give his letter to Romeo, but it does not get to him.

Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare is a tragic and dramatic play about the awful outcome of love between two immature teens. The families of the two lovers are rivals and have a tension between each other that would oppose the love between Romeo and Juliet. The outcome of Romeo and Juliet ultimately occurred because of the human faults of impulsiveness, irresponsibility, and selfishness. In Romeo and Juliet, the characters are regularly victims of their own impulsiveness.

His plan was for Juliet to consent to marry Paris. Afterwards, she will drink a sleeping potion the night before her wedding that will make her appear dead. Friar Laurence gives a letter to Friar John to be delivered to Romeo. The letter was supposed to be delivered just in time to Romeo so he would have enough time to come to Verona and reunite with Juliet as she woke up. However, the wedding was rushed to occur a day earlier than planned.

Juliet will pretend to be happy about the marriage, but before she goes to bed, she will drink a potion that he gives her to make her appear dead. After these events, Juliet is placed in the Capulet tomb, believed to be dead. The Friar attempts to send a letter to Romeo to explain what happened, but it is held back due to the plague running rampant through Verona. Romeo is told by a servant that Juliet is dead and ends up killing himself next to Juliet in the tomb. Juliet wakes up finding him dead, and believing that she couldn’t live without him, kills herself.

Likewise, another instance where this is revealed is when Romeo receives word of Juliet's "death" from Balthasar, he rushes to see her without seeking more details. He returns to Verona to be by Juliet's lifeless body, just to be by her side. This rash action drives him to desperate means, which finally leads to his demise. “Well Juliet, I will lie with thee tonight.

Following Romeo and Juliet’s suicides, the adults gather and discuss what went wrong. During the conversation, the Friar says, “But then a noise did scare me from the tomb, And she [Juliet] too desperate, would not go with me” (V.iii.271-272). The Friar acknowledges that he left Juliet alone when knowing, “Thou hast the strength of will to ｢slay｣ thyself, Then is it likely thou wilt undertake” (IV.i.53-74). The Friar knew Juliet loved Romeo, even to the point of death. She had previously gone to Friar Lawrence, threatening to kill herself if she had to marry someone else; and upon discovering Romeo’s dead body, she was so struck with grief that she actually killed herself.

Throughout the great tragedy of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, many of the characters acted carelessly, without considering the consequences of their actions. Shakespeare used these characters to effectively emphasize the understanding of how important it is to act with caution and reasoning. The characters in the story often had not accurately analyzed decisions and issues that needed to be resolved, and would often make weak choices, ending in them meeting their fate, or greatly impacted the lives of their surrounding companions or family. Is it problematic to make resolutions without legitimate understanding of the hypothetical outcomes? Based on the words of William Shakespeare in Romeo and Juliet, he proves this point adequately.

Age plays a significant role on decision-making not only in Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet but also in modern times. In the play, Romeo and Juliet are only young teenagers which influences on making childish and no-thought decisions. This is shown In Act 2 where Romeo is depressed because Rosaline, who he had confessed his love to has rejected him, and refuses to crash the Capulet’s party. It’s not until his friends Mercutio and Benvolio force him to go when he lays his eyes upon Juliet and proceeds to forget about his love and fall in love with Juliet instead.
