In Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet there is a predetermined destiny set for both Romeo and Juliet. Shakespeare begins his play with a sonnet foreshadowing the ending.

Juliet is responsible the tragedy within the play, Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare. As a thirteen year-old, Juliet is overprotected by the Capulets which leads to her love with Romeo. However, her effort to not inform the Capulets about her love nor marriage due to the feud between the two families stimulated tremendous amounts of unnecessary conflicts. Neither Paris nor Lord Capulet know about the hidden marriage as they plan for the wedding on Thursday.

In the play, Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare, violence is a big key point. Quarrels between the Montague’s and the Capulet’s are led to many of the characters’ deaths.

The Prince embodies Shakespeare’s message and philosophy because he was never on the Capulet’s side or the Montague’s side; he always tried to make things as fair as possible.

A conflict is always started by an intruding force. It could be hate, love, jealousy or bad decisions.

The death of Romeo and Juliet, I believe was done by Romeo and Juliet themselves. I believe it was them for the following reasons, their rash actions, all of their secrets, and the family conflict. These things lead to the tragedy of their death, though the story is sometimes seen as a love story, today we will be talking about their death.

Friar Laurence did not physically go up and murder these characters but indirectly caused these deaths through leaving a suicidal alone and relying solely on the Church and himself rather than outside forces.

Tragedies cannot be written without a glimpse of the happy ending that might have been. In Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet, the ironic fact remains that it did not have to be a story of woe.

"A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself" (Joseph Campbell). What makes a true hero? Heroes are individuals who care about the well-being of others, and put others before themselves. Every day everyone encounters a hero, whether that is a parent, friend, neighbor, or sibling.   Heroic acts are not always saving a crowd of individuals or the world; sometimes a heroic act  can even be making  time for family.
