Flaws In Romeo And Juliet

What I feel is one of the most important aspects of the play is the

Montague's son Romeo in the book Romeo and Juliet written by Shakespeare in the 1500’s, supports the audience with many of his strengths and weaknesses. In this story, two well-known families of Verona, the Montagues, and Capulets are in a feud against each other; however, the son of the Montague family, Romeo, and the daughter of the Capulet family, Juliet fall in love at first sight at a Capulet party. Even though Romeo is a Montague, his personality and his calm behavior persuades Capulet to let him stay at the party. After he meets Juliet, Romeo asks the friar to marry them both; even though, the friar was concerned about Romeo because of his instantly changed and unthought decisions he lets them marry each other secretly. Romeo’s commendable behavior proves a strength and his uncontrollable emotions show his weakness.

When Juliet finds out that Tybalt has been killed and Romeo is in exile, for killing Tybalt, Juliet feels both passionate about Romeo and disappointed in both Romeo and herself, which reveal her inner struggle. In Act 3, Juliet’s Nurse comes back with this news that Tybalt is dead and that Romeo is such an awful person for killing him. Juliet fights back at the Nurse, and herself, for speaking bad about Romeo. She claims, ““Shall I speak ill of him that is my husband? Ah, poor my lord, what tongue shall smooth thy name, When I, thy three hours' wife, have mangled it? But wherefore, villain, didst thou kill my cousin? That villain cousin would have killed my husband.” (3.2.99-101). This shows that Juliet is passionate about Romeo, because first of all, she says that she was wrong to say bad things about her husband.

The previous passage was Romeo describing Juliet as beautiful as the sun, and professing his love for Juliet . At this point, Romeo is in the garden speaking to Juliet on the balcony. He refers to Juliet as the light of his world, and uses colorful imagery to describe her looks. This is one another example of the false love that exists. In addition to this quote, the narrator of the play describes Romeo and Juliet as “star-crossed lovers”. Another quote by Juliet describing Romeo in a sexual, lustful way is as follows;

Romeo is using a metaphor to compare Juliet’s voice to lovely music. In Romeo and Juliet states, “How silver-sweet sound lovers’ tongues by night,/ Like softest music to attending ears”(2.2. 167-168). As a result from this metaphor the reader can fully grasp an image of Juliet and Romeo’s affection towards her. In the same scene Romeo says that with her beauty she will kill the envious moon. In the Shakespeare play Romeo and Juliet states, “Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,/ Who is already sick and pale with grief”(2.2. 4-5). In other words Romeo has illustrated the beauty of Juliet and the inclination he has for his lover, Juliet.The reader can illustrate Juliet because of the personification and metaphors that Romeo

Fate works in mysterious ways, everyone makes choices out of their own free will which affects their

I believe Romeo is the one who holds the most fault because he should have never went to the capulets party and then asked Juliet to marry him so suddenly. Act 1 Scene 5 romeo says, “ What lady’s that, which doth enrich the hand of yonder knight? “ Instead of forgetting about juliet and looking for someone else he went to the capulet’s orchard to see juliet again. Act 2 Scene 2 romeo says, “ With love’s light wings did I o’erperch these walls, for stony limits cannot hold love out, an what love can do, that dares love attempt. Therefore thy kingsmen are no let to me. Act 2 Scene 2 romeo says, “ The exchange of thy love’s faithful vow for mine. “ Romeo should have never even asked juliet to marry him so suddenly in the first place. Also

Shakespeare’s use of nature in the balcony scene is most commonly referenced when discussing Romeo’s comparison of Juliet to the sun. By comparing Juliet’s beauty to the sun, the text conveys the idea of Juliet coming into Romeo’s life has changed him for the better. Romeo begins his monologue with, “Juliet is the sun.” (Shakespeare 2.2.3). The sun is the center of the universe, and Romeo uses the sun to state that Juliet is the center of his universe. The use of this metaphor gives a comparison between the consistency of the sun and his love for Juliet. The sun is a symbol of rebirth for Romeo. When the sun rises in the morning, it is

There are many different types of trees, each one just a little different to the next. Some are ugly, some are tall, some do not contain any leaves at all. The human personality also holds many branches that live, each dissimilar from the next, each with a separate function that it gives. When all of the leaves are viewed from afar, the combined image is spectacular, but when observed from up close, the flaws are gaping, and even gross. The human personality works the same, for at first glance people are flawless, but when examined deeper and more personally, it can be seen how these flaws define who a person really happens to be for the worst. One sickly imperfection can slowly kill a whole tree, just like one hideous trait can ruin a

During some of part one, and two, we slowly learn about Romeo and his dilemma. He has fallen in love with beautiful Rosaline and all of his heart is crying out to her. He vows to never see a beauty as fair as her, and complains about the rudeness and pain of love. He allows himself to go to the party with Mercutio and his friends, but remarks he won't have a good time. "I'll go along, no such sight to be shown, But to rejoice in a splendor of mine own."  That is until he sees Juliet. Instantly he forgets all of his lamenting for Rosaline love, and proclaims Juliet is the most beautiful thing he has ever seen. "O! she doth teach the torches to burn bright. It seems she hangs on the cheek of night, like a rich jewel in an Ethiop's ear; Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear! So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows, As yonder lady o'er her fellows shows. The measure done, I'll watch her place of stand, And, touching hers, make blessed my rude hand. Did my heart love till now? forswear it, sight! For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night."

A disaster is an abrupt or hasty event, such as a catastrophe or accident, that causes great damage or loss of lives. In the play, Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, the star-crossed lovers fall victim to a disaster that consequently makes them lose their lives. The main fault for the disaster lies with Rosaline, Lord Capulet, and Friar Lawrence.

The tragic hero of a story is not always the conflict resolver or the heroic lifesaver. In reality, protagonists such as the one in this play are flawed; their flaws can end up hurting others rather than helping them. In Shakespeare’s “Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet,” Romeo, who portrays the male protagonist, has a fatal flaw of impulsivity that influences him to make hasty decisions based on love. Romeo and Juliet, two lovers tied between a family feud, attempt to rewrite their fate as a couple. However, by doing so, characters such as Romeo end up setting themselves up for tragedy due to their impulsive actions. From marrying a blood feud enemy due to love at first sight to murdering cousin-in-laws, the tragic hero involved Shakespeare’s play

All fairy tales bear the outcome of happily ever after, in which two lovers discover a flame, fall in love, and get married soon after. In William Shakespeare’s play The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, the two find their flame, fall in love, and become married. However, the hand of death drives them apart, and the outcome all readers anticipate fades away. The disappointment readers face poses the question of where the blame should go for the play’s melancholic ending. Although their tragic flaws contribute, the feud between the families and fate cause the deaths of Romeo and Juliet.

In Shakespeare’s tragedy, Romeo and Juliet, Romeo and Juliet meet and fall in love, but his need for revenge gets him expelled from the city. When he hears that Juliet is dead, he rushes to her, commits suicide, so when she awakens to find him dead, she follows suit. Had he inferred that she was not actually dead from the observations he vocalized, the story would have had a much happier ending. Because Romeo was not perfect, he like all men, had strengths, like his decisiveness and determination, and weaknesses, like his childishness and his lack of deduction skills.
