Romeo’s Blunders

As a partner in a relationship, one has to make certain actions to

maintain it. If they become blinded from passion, some of these choices are not so

clear, and are passed by. The well known tale, The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet by

William Shakespeare, is one of the consequences of reckless love. A youth falls

deeply in love with a girl, only to be sworn apart by family, ending up dead together.

While the actions of their families was a large cause of it, the actions of the youth

himself, Romeo, was a main cause of the troubles. Romeo was the main issue,

because he was too focused on being in love, that he didn’t care how it went, he

ignored the help from the wise Friar Lawrence, and acted hastily, killing himself

before seeing that Juliet was actually alive.
