Romeo and Juliet7
“Romeo and Juliet:” Star-Crossed Lovers? After reading Shakespeare´s “Romeo and Juliet” I noticed something that everybody must had noticed: their immaturity. Romeo and Juliet see each other and instantly fall in love. The next day they get married and two days after that they die for each other. I think that nobody is capable of doing such thing for someone you have less than a weeek of knowing. The haste of this play is what shocked me the most. I really don´t know what Shakespeare was trying to transmit through it. Maybe he was warning people so they could take decissions more calmly, or maybe he was trying to critizice the youth of that time. What I do know about “Romeo and Juliet” is that they were not really in love, and that fate didn’t play a big role in their lives. The main purpose of this paper is to explain why weren’t Romeo and Juliet in love. I believe that love is something very easy to feel, but once you feel it it turns complicated. What I know for sure is that nobody can fall in love just by seeing someone. It could be called love at first sight by many, but I don’t believe in that. That is called physical attraction. Love something that grows inside w
So, if they were not in love, what could possibly be the cause why they went through all of this? Maybe it was just rebelliousness. Immediately after they saw each other they were informed that they were from enemy families. But that didn’t stop them. Probably it made everything more interesting, they were playing with fire, they knew it and they liked it. That was not smart thinking. Also they could have been trying to unite both families together, but if that was the case, Romeo messed it up when he confronted Tybalt. Also the participation of Friar Lawrence and the Nurse was absurd. I believe they were old enough to know that all this was only a child’s game. How could they possibly support these two kids in taking such a dangerous decision? It sounds illogical to me. Moore, Roger and Charmaine Cordero. "Romeo and Juliet”. [online].
