Romeo and Juliet Essay
Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet
When Romeo and Juliet are faced with forbidden love, drastic measures are yet to occur. William Shakespeare has written many good plays but one best known around the world is The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. The couple is faced with many choices, only deciding which choice to make affected the entire plot. In Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, the decisions made by Romeo and Juliet affect their outcome by deciding to go to the Capulet’s party, getting married, and Juliet deciding to drink the potion.

If Benvolio did not say this to Romeo, or try to get him to go to the party, he might not have decided to go, therefore not meeting Juliet. Without meeting her, the whole play would have been completely different.
Romeo and Juliet disobey their parents and secretly get married. In Act II, Romeo goes into the Capulet’s garden to talk to Juliet in her balcony.

If Romeo never said yes to marry Juliet the outcome of this tragedy would have changed.
Juliet decides to drink the potion that Friar Lawrence gives to her. In this scene she goes to Friar Lawrence to ask him for advice on marrying a...
