  • Essay / Dilemmas of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare

    Dilemmas of RomeoWhen people look closely at the story of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, they will notice that it is a tragedy with tons of moral traits. Shakespeare's writing is still very popular today and is still used because of its connection to today's world and the events of our daily lives. In Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare accurately depicts Romeo's dilemmas: he faces a specific dilemma of immaturity with three different ideas he faces as their feuding families, that he cannot be with Juliet and her immaturity that leads to suicide. One of the play's dilemmas concerns the two fighting families. How ethical is it to hate someone for the sake of a certain famous name? All of this belongs to a generation where human beings were sort of focusing their attention on religions, which teaches us not to hate. The reason I question this is because I think it's unexpected that Romeo and Juliet seem to be quite religious, given that the first person Romeo turned to for support was Friar Lawrence, as well only a few scenes from Romeo and Juliet which appear in/or throughout the church. Personally, I think this antagonism is pretty bad when talking about the Capulets and the Montagues because I constantly had the feeling that the households had been fighting and arguing for a long time that no one really knew why they hated each other. In the middle of the play, a great conflict breaks out between the two families when Romeo fights Tybalt. Romeo says: “This fight will decide who dies. » (Act III, scene 1, line 93). Here the reader will notice that Romeo is about to fight with Tybalt and ...... middle of paper ......t Verona, which basically means because Juliet is there. When Juliet wakes up and sees Romeo's corpse right next to her, she commits suicide as well. This suicide is what truly demonstrates the immaturity of Romeo and Juliet's passionate love. The certainty that Romeo and Juliet committed suicide is not tragic or mature. To conclude, Romeo was a very immature person throughout the play and I think he got married way too early and too quickly. They were both so immature and insecure that they committed suicide rather than run away. Throughout Romeo and Juliet, Romeo faced a dilemma of immaturity with three different ideas he faced such as the families arguing, the fact that he couldn't be with Juliet, and his obvious immaturity which led him to suicide. Overall, Romeo and Juliet were far too young to get married and therefore had to deal with the consequences..
