Romeo And Juliet Impulsiveness

Romeo and Juliet is a beautiful story by William Shakespeare in which the reader observes the bold and rash character of Romeo. He falls in love at the first sight with his wife, Juliet. Their families have been feuding for generations; therefore, they make a plan to run away and live a life of joy. However, this plan falls through and many are killed throughout this dangerous journey including both lives of the lovers. Because he does not think before acting, Romeo is brought into dangerous and avoidable situations. His biggest flaw of being rash and rushing things affects himself and the people around him physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Through Juliet’s words and actions she continues to be far too impulsive throughout the tragedy. After her first kiss with Romeo during the masquerade, she convinces herself that she is instantaneously in love. When Romeo leaves, Juliet tells herself, “If he be married/ My grave is like to be my wedding bed” (1.5.148-149). When Juliet meets Romeo they exchange very few words, yet they end up kissing and

After simply being banished, Romeo seeks to take his life, without realizing that he is in a better situation than others (including his dead friend, Mercutio). Not understanding how his life will impact others, he makes the decision to die. Eventually, the Friar, an adult figure with a developed mind, steps in and uses reason, which Romeo lacks. Not only does Romeo act in such a manner, but Juliet also shares the same characteristic. After meeting Romeo at the Capulet’s party, knowing him for about 1 minute, Juliet kisses him, and they seek marriage. This is despite her saying later on that ”Although I joy in thee, / I have no joy of this contract tonight. / It is too rash, too unadvised, too sudden” (Shakespeare II.ii 116-118). As Juliet is still a teenager, however, her animal instincts get the best of her, and they get married the next day. Through this, it is shown that while teenagers may know how to deal with things rationally (like Juliet’s little blurb on how she shouldn’t marry), their undeveloped minds get the better of them, and they go with their natural flow.

Though Juliet is probably one of the worst fictional characters to look up to, she does have important and respectable traits. In Shakespeare’s famous novel and play, Romeo and Juliet, many of the characters undergo major development. The novel starts off as a comedy, with Romeo and Juliet getting married, but ends as a tragedy, with both main characters dying. The tragedy of the story often makes the characters show their true selves and ultimately face constant development. Though Juliet is often interpreted as a weak and ingenuous character, many of her actions prove her to be mature, determined, and independent.

According to Alan Durband, many versions of Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet all relate to Shakespeare's understanding of early life in Verona.

The Capulets and Montagues are feuding households His impulsivity caused a lot of people to die and experience emotional pain. Falling in love with Juliet was the event that started a chain reaction.

Romeo and Juliet is known as one of the most popular love stories ever written. However, the play is not about love, but about death.

Famous singer-songwriter, Sinéad O’Connor once said “When you’re young, you don’t really know quite what you’re aiming at. You’re very impulsive and acting on impulse, which is very important and valuable. But you’re kind of swimming in a blind sea. When you get older, you have more of a sense of direction”(BrainyQuote).

He was much too rash to fight Tybalt and kill him. Another example of when he is impulsive is when he decides to marry Juliet. He asks Friar Laurence, his spiritual advisor, if “thou consent to marry us today” (II.III. 65). He had only met Juliet that day and was just previously in love with another girl. This shows how quick he is to change his mind about loving someone. This is very impulsive and dangerous, seeing as she is supposed to be his enemy. He is not thinking about his actions, only his desire for her. He is also very impulsive when he kills Paris and himself when he learns of Juliet’s death. When Paris confronts Romeo, Romeo pleads with Paris to leave him alone or else he will have another sin on his shoulders, but Paris does not listen. He fights Paris and Paris is struck, calling out, “O I am slain” (V.III. 72). Romeo then goes to find Juliet’s

Romeo is impulsive because he doesn't thoroughly think about the outcomes of his actions. For example, on pages 102-103, Romeo says that he is in love with Capulet's daughter, although they have only known each other for a few hours. When he crashed the party, kissing Juliet without knowing her, that was an impulsive move. Romeo is dramatic because he makes a big deal out of something small. For example, when Rosaline didn't like him, he would hide in the woods and not talk to anyone. Romeo is reckless because, even thought crashing the party with Benvolio was planned, he didn't think about his safety first. After Romeo met Juliet, instead of going home, he went to Juliet's house and talked to her openly, without thinking about the fact that if one of the Capulet guards or family members found him he would and could be

Shakespeare makes the death of Romeo and Juliet inevitable due to their tragic flaw of rashness and impulsivity. However Romeo and Juliet are not solely entitled to be the reason for their death Act V. Balthasar is a major contributor to the death of Romeo and his suitor.

Shakespeare wants to portray the idea that Romeo and Juliet are responsible for their own death.

Impulsive behaviors are when people act without thinking about the consequences. These people make very hasty decisions, some of which result in hard consequences. In the play, Romeo and Juliet, there are many characters that resemble impulsive behaviors, including Tybalt, the “prince of cats” always looking for a fight, Mercutio, the comedic relief always cracking jokes, and Romeo, the innocent boy looking for love.

Impetuosity and impulsiveness cause the death of the two main characters in Romeo and Juliet. The two are so impulsive not because of passion and love or fate, they are like this due to the two not being in true love. Some examples of how they are impulsive and impetuous is how Juliet immediately agrees with the Friar's plan to put her to sleep to avoid the marriage with Paris and how Romeo kills Tybalt and Paris.

Juliet is the beautiful, daring side protagonist, who serves as the love interest of Romeo and takes advantage of the opportunities given. The story revolves around Juliet and Romeo’s struggle to be together; said in the prologue: “From forth the fatal loins of these two foes / A pair of star-crossed lovers [Romeo and Juliet] take their life / Whose misadventured piteous overthrows” (Prologue.5-8). Expectedly, Juliet’s beauty, confirmed by the nurse: “Thou wast the prettiest babe that e’er I nursed” (1.3.65), leads Romeo to fall madly in love with her. Breaching the Capulet’s walls, Romeo creeps up to Juliet’s window to catch a glimpse of her, achieving his goal and birthing the iconic love line: “It is the East, and Juliet is the sun” (2.2.2).
