Romeo and Juliet


Romeo and Juliet is a classic love story written in play form by William Shakespeare. In this play there's forbidden love, with Romeo and Juliet and in the end they kill them self’s for each other. Throughout the play Romeo and Juliet make choices to benefit their love, but it ends up effecting   there loved ones. In the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet’s selfish choices affect their friends and loved ones in many ways.

Friar Lawrence, the town’s friar went out of his way breaking rules to marry them. The rules to marry a person you need to be married on a Sunday, Romeo and Juliet were married on a Tuesday. And you also have to keep a poster thing up for 2 Sundays; they did even put up poster things. Lastly their has to be a father or mother, or even a signed note saying that they’re allowing their daughter to be married, no they did it privately with jolliest nurse. Friar Lawrence is going to be found and going to lose his title as friar, so he'll just be Lawrence. Friar Lawrence didn’t even have to marry Romeo and Juliet but he did anyway, at it was still out of his way, if he gets "fired" then what will he do? Nothing what can he do? But of course Romeo and Juliet don’t know about that outcome because they're too young. But they did feel real love, and they didn’t realize anything. But still they should think about others before acting, do some rational choices.

Paris, jolliest husband to be, dies because of the plan they put in place so they can be together forever. Fair Lawrence made a plan that Juliet would take a fake poison that'll make her out for 24 hours or so but Romeo didn’t receive the letter about the plan so he kills himself at jolliest grave, but at the grave he meets Paris. First of all Paris had no idea what was going on, he was an open book. But when he finds Romeo he ends up yelling at him to leave and saying mean stuff to him "stop thy toil, vile Montague" then they start to fight. "Lay me with Juliet" Paris says as his last words. Of course Romeo does it but Paris should’ve dies knowing about his "Love" Juliet and how she really wasn’t his love but Romeo’s. Paris was a simple young boy who basically died for his love who wasn’t really his love so he died for no reason. Romeo killed an innocent person to see Juliet’s "dead" body that might be love to some people but not to me.

A thus, Romeo and Juliet’s choices and actions were selfish, but I was for their love. They didn’t realize what pain and outcomes they were causing. Like most people say "love makes you blind". But its' also not their fault they felt the most real love then anyone living in their then between them. Sometimes the love that people share is so strong, they lose sight of the other people in their lives.
