The Cause Of Conflict In Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet

Some may think that it is Friar´s fault, for making the plan to get Romeo and Juliet married. And it can also be said that it is Benvolio 's who helped Romeo meet Juliet by taking him to the party. However, this is not true because it is Romeo who follows through these plans or advises to make these plans due to his unwise decisions. Afterall, he asked Friar to marry them ¨I’ll tell thee as we pass, but this I pray: That thou consent to marry us today¨ (Shakespeare 2.3.63-64).

Juliet is devastated so she goes to Friar Lawrence for help. Friar comes up with a plan for Juliet to take a potion to make herself seem dead for two and forty hours, when Juliet awakes Romeo would be there to take her to Mantua. Juliet’s parents can believe that she is dead because “Each part, deprived of supple government,/ Shall, stiff and stark and cold, appear like death” (Shakespeare 5.1. 102-103). As part of Friar Lawrence’s plan, he sent Friar John to tell Romeo about the plan, but word got to Romeo about Juliet’s death before Friar John could tell Romeo about the plan. As it is made obvious, everyone thinks that Juliet is actually dead except for Friar Lawrence, Friar John, and Juliet.

They want to get married but they know that this will not be approved between their family feud. This is why they secretly ask Friar Laurence to marry them in secret.

The two will lay together in death. The pair was truly in love is that they’re sneaking around to see each other. From Romeo risking his life to see Juliet and Juliet willing to change who she has been known as.

For instance, Choice can be seen when Romeo decides to go to the Capulet party with the rest of the guys Romeo says, “... But he that hath the steerage of my course direct my suit./ On, lusty gentlemen” (1.4.112-113). This quotation shows, that Romeo has a bad feeling about going to the party, but he chooses to go anyways. Another choice made in the beginning of the play is the rushed marriage of the two lovers. For example, Juliet says: ...

But, they found out that their families are in a feud and nobody knows why. Then they get married secretly, but, Romeo gets exiled for killing Tybalt. Juliet asks Friar Lawrence for help because her parents arranged her a wedding with Paris and so she can go stay with Romeo. Friar Lawrence gives Juliet a potion that makes her seem dead, but she is in a deep sleep for 42 hours and tells her he will send a letter to Romeo to get her. The day of her wedding, she drinks the potion so they take her to her tomb since she seems dead.

The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, the children of two rival houses fall in love but were destined to die tragically from the beginning they met.

If they had never urged Romeo to go to the party, he most likely wouldn 't have gone to the party, and had never met Juliet, thus stopping the unfortunate events that were to happen next. Another example would be the event where Mercutio gets killed by Tybalt. Since Romeo’s best friend dies, he gets extremely angered, causing him to kill Tybalt. This event could have been easily avoided by Mercutio choosing his actions differently and wisely to avoid getting killed by Tybalt, or he could have calmed down instead of engaging in violence. Because Mercutio dies, Romeo gets out of control and ends up killing Tybalt, therefore getting him banished.
