Romeo and Juliet both had genuinely thought their love was true and could conquer all that that the world and their families could throw at them. After bringing the end into account helped comprehend the fact that they would never have the opportunity to carry out what they had hoped. The two star-crossed lovers’ actions were not reasonable. Although Romeo and Juliet were not sensible in their wrongdoings, their parents were just as unethical.Despite finding out that Juliet was a Capulet, Romeo still tried to pursue her. The same can apply to Juliet. This following conversation with Juliet and her nurse will help put Juliet’s distraught into focus. Juliet: “Go ask his name. —If he be married, My grave is like to be my wedding-bed.” Nurse: “His name is Romeo, and a Montague, The only son of your great enemy.” Juliet: “My only love sprung from my only hate! Too early seen unknown and known too late! Prodigious birth of love it is to me that I must love a loathed enemy.” (Romeo And Juliet Act 1, scene V, lines 134–141) To summarize this, Juliet asks the Nurse to find out who Romeo is, so she does. Nurse then brings back the unfortunate information that Romeo is part of the Montague Household, sworn enemies of the Capulets. Juliet then confesses that she loves Romeo and the only man she has ever loved is a man she was meant to hate. She says she fell for him too early but once she found out who he was, she was too late. Romeo and Juliet both fell head over heels for each other only after meeting for the first time, which was only about 2 hours. Therefore, this is just one example of their illogical actions, they knew it would be a poor decision to make. Then again, they let their hearts get the best of the heads. An equally important case in point is when Romeo decides to go to the Friar and ask him to Marry them in secret. This choice was not justified at all. Both Romeo and Juliet are young and naïve, being only 13 and around 17 the two had no idea what they were getting themselves into. They were not reasonable, and rarely thought of the repercussions that could happen. They fell purely in love with looks and nothing more, during the balcony scene of act 2 scene 2 looks are the only thing that Romeo and Juliet address. They are both so blindly in love that they’re willing to get rid of their names, their friends, their families, their comforts, and their worldly possessions. Romeo- “By a name I know not how to tell thee who I am: My name, dear saint, is hateful to myself, because it is an enemy to thee. Had I it written, I would tear the word.” (Romeo and Juliet, Act II, Scene II, lines 57-60) In other words, Romeo is saying he now hates his name because it is not and will never be in favor of Juliet. Subsequently, Romeo and Juliet were so in love they took it to drastic measures. Juliet set up a plan with Friar Lawrence to take a potion to escape her arranged marriage with Count Paris and run away with Romeo. The potion would put Juliet into a death like sleep for 42 hours, and before she woke Romeo would be there and they would run away together. Juliet was so desperate to live a life without Romeo she took a potion that she had no idea what it would do to her. If it did not work, Juliet had a dagger ready to stab herself. After finding out from Balthasar, who did not know that Juliet had taken the potion, Romeo is hysterical. “Well, Juliet, I will lie with thee tonight. Let us see for means. O mischief, thou art swift to enter in the thoughts of desperate men!” (William Shakespeare, Act V, Scene I, lines 36-39) In these quotes Romeo is saying that he will lay with Juliet tonight, he is going to find a way to do so and desperate minds create desperate men which lead to desperate measures. Romeo then buys a quick killing poison from a nearby apothecary, to lie with Juliet forever. Romeo is filled with huge anguish when he sees Juliet in her deathbed that he takes the poison to be with her in the afterlife forever. Once Juliet wakes up from her sleep, she sees that Romeo is dead and, in her wretchedness, kisses him in hope of finding poison on his lip and dying with him. It does not work out the way she had wished, and, in her misery, she grabs Romeos dagger and stabs herself. Killing themselves was and could never be a choice. Both Romeo and Juliet were naïve in thinking their life could not go on without the other. All things considered, Romeo and Juliet’s actions were flawed and nonsensical. The two star-crossed lovers were not meant to be from the start. Their families were enemies and that made everything much harder. Dismissing that, Romeo fell in love with Juliet purely because of looks and not anything more. Both are too young and gullible to realize they were being simpleminded. They took their love to the next level by deciding to get married in secret and that caused many more problems once Capulet arranges the marriage between Count Paris and Juliet. Polygamy was illegal in that time and Friar Lawrence would have been going against the law if he allowed Juliet to marry Paris while being married to Romeo. To escape it, Juliet faked her death and Romeo took his own life in honor of Juliet and Juliet did the same for Romeo. Taking their own lives was the tragic end of the story, but neither one of them thought of how they could live their own lives or run away to a new one. Suicide should not have been an option.
