Romeo And Juliet Impulsive Decisions

“By love, that first did prompt me to inquire.” says Romeo (Act 2, Scene 2, 78-80). Juliet is asking how he knew where to come and see her and is afraid of what her parents would do if they saw him. “O, wilt thou leave me so unsatisfied?” says Romeo to Juliet (Act 2, Scene 2, 125), as he is about to leave. He is pressuring her to give love to him before he leaves, to satisfy him. Romeo is doing all of these things to get Juliet to love him more and more, but also she has a part to do with their death

Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet is about how a feud between two wealthy families is the cause of many problems, but mainly the tragic deaths of the star-crossed lovers, Romeo and Juliet. Throughout this play, many impulsive decisions are made both by the main protagonists and by some side characters. But, the three most impulsive characters are Friar Lawrence, Romeo, and Juliet. By examining these three characters from the play, Friar Lawrence, Romeo, and Juliet, it is evident that these characters acted impulsively, causing suffering for themselves and others.

After he first meets Juliet and they claim their love for each other, Romeo immediately runs to Friar Lawrence and requests that he marry them, and claimed that “[his] dear love is set/ On the fair daughter of rich Capulet./ As [his] on hers, so hers is set on [his],/ And all combined, save what thou must combine/ By holy marriage.”

All is irrelevant compared to her, even himself. He has done so much for Juliet just to lose her in such an unsuspecting way. And he would rather be dead with her than alive with anyone else. Romeo’s emotions get the best of him and his rational judgment is gone when he’s with

Romeo was always the type of guy to be devoted to any girl he loved. When he was in love with Juliet he was willing to die and be with her in death. Romeo could have decided to live for Juliet and not kill himself to be with her. If he didn’t kill himself he could’ve lived with Juliet. From the book, “This fight will decide who dies.

Friar Lawrence acted too quickly and did not logically think through the possible implications of his actions when he married Romeo and Juliet. After the Capulet party, Romeo visited Friar Lawrence and asked to marry Juliet. At first, he was hesitant because he was aware of Romeo's deep love for Rosaline. However, he still agreed to marry the two. At the ceremony, he said, “Till holy church incorporate two in one“(177).

Benvolio suggests that Romeo will move on from his past lover, Rosaline, and find a new girl. When Juliet sees Romeo for the first time as he leaves the Capulet 's party, she asks the nurse to find out information about him. For starters, in the play Juliet says, " Go ask his name. _ If he be married, my grave is like to be my wedding bed." Juliet means she will rather die unmarried because she cannot love anyone else.

“My grave is like to be my wedding bed.” (1.4.149). The author foreshadows Juliet’s death by showing thinking that she will “die” after getting married, but not in a literal sense. She thinks that marriage will “end her life” by taking away her livelihood and reducing herself to a homemaker or housewife. Her planned arranged marriage with Paris was her predetermined destiny, which coincidentally was caused by the feud.

This just shows her worrying about the possibility of him causing her death but then she puts reason to it by saying, “ Lest in this marriage he should be dishonored Because he married me before to Romeo?” (Shakespeare 4.3.28-29). The friar married her to Romeo and now she is supposed to be married to Count Paris on Thursday. She realizes that this is something that Friar Laurence should be against, so it would make sense for him to try and kill her before it could happen. As Juliet panics she realizes that the friar trying to kill her goes against his beliefs.

This fear of death by Juliet leads to Romeo stating that he can’t live without her and would die for her. In this line, Juliet is telling Romeo that if he is caught by her family, he will be murdered. Death could not have been brought into the situation if the blood feud hadn’t existed and so strongly carried

And but thou love me, let them find me here. / My life were better ended by their hate / Than death prorogued, wanting of thy love”, Romeo means he would not be seen, but if he were to die it would be by her side. He does not think about why he should just live with her than die knowing that she loves him. Why would he want to be dead when they both love each other.

Juliet is saying that the one person that she loves is from the one family that she is supposed to hate. She is not oblivious to the fact that her decision to become involved with Romeo could end badly, as it did. Juliet rushes into marriage with Romeo, because she foolishly believes that the two of them are in love, though, they’ve only known each other less than a day. Juliet’s reaction after learning about her upcoming marriage to Paris is what ultimately leads to her and her lovers death. Juliet immediately tells the Friar that she would rather die than to marry Paris: “Oh bid me leap, rather than marry Paris” (4.1.7).

She also says that if he is married, then she won't be able to live without him. This shows that Juliet doesn't even know Romeo's name much less his personality and the way he acts. This also shows that Juliet is jumping into this relationship and believing she loves him way too soon. These actions will eventually lead to Juliet's demise

Romeo and juliet do not have fully developed brains. They are still teenagers, They don't have a full understanding of what love is and how it works. Romeo and juliet were under the stress of their family's. Romeo wanted to get married as soon as possible thinking that their families vendettas would end, juliet agreed and they decided to get married, As with most suicides, there is more to the story than just the ending. It’s never just that they wanted to end their life.

In the play Romeo and Juliet one of the main characters, Romeo, is a rather impulsive fellow who acts on what he sees and feels. He falls in love in the blink of an eye and just as fast he can get over it. He is always impulsive but when he finds himself in love his impulsiveness doubles. Romeo’s impulsive decisions causes his love, Juliet, to ultimately get killed.
