Everyone feels love at some point in their lives, whether it is directed toward a family member or a friend. Many people are constantly in and out of love, whereas others take their time to find the right person. Love is a wonderful thing, and if the relationship is successful, it will last forever.

Their deep love leads to the young lovers committing suicide, which is a risky decision. They refuse to accept their situation and consider alternatives to suicide. Due to the burden and the extremity of love, Romeo and Juliet act on impulse and make rash decisions without considering the consequences, resulting in self-destruction. To begin, Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet," tells the story of two star-crossed lovers who love in secret against their parents' feuds and take their own lives from fate, but Shakespeare emphasizes Romeo's negative impulsivity, which puts his life in danger for superficial love. In Shakespeare’s tragedy of “Romeo and Juliet,” when Romeo sneaks into Capulet's territory to search for Juliet after the party, Juliet warns him that “If they do see thee they will murder thee” (2.2.70), but Romeo reassures her that “I have night’s cloak to hide me from their eyes, / And but thou love me, let them find me here. / My life were better ended by their hate / Than death prorogued, wanting of thy love” (2.2.75-78). Shakespeare uses the Capulets' intentions to demonstrate Romeo's lack of impulse control from sudden …show more content…
There is a story about two teenagers who fall in love, but they face severe consequences as a result. Rafi Mohammed and Halima Mohammedi were accused of adultery and faced far harsher punishments from their community and families than detainment in a juvenile facility. Despite the community and everyone else's opposition to their love for one another, they decided to continue their relationship. "It's the heart," Rafi explained. "When you love somebody, you don't ask who she is or what she is. You just go for it." (Jack Healy, "The Prince of Young Love," New York Times, 2011. Web. 9 November 2015). They have decided to marry in a courthouse after keeping their relationship secret. Unfortunately, this brought back memories of a young couple being stoned to death in northern Afghanistan by many people, including their own relatives, for eloping. It didn't matter what other people thought of the young lovers after the government provided them with protection because they wanted to get married. Rafi stated, “I’m ready to lose my life. I just want her safe release.” (Jack Healy, "The Prince of Young Love," New York Times, 2011. Web. 9 November
They know that their parents will never understand their love and nevertheless they decide to get married and not let the feud come between
Would you let a loved one kill themselves? Well this is basically what Romeo, Juliet, and both their families let happen in the story, Romeo & Juliet written by playwright and poet, William Shakespeare; moreover, do you think this could have been prevented? I believe the deaths of both Romeo and Juliet alike could have easily been avoided. If Romeo was not as impulsive and irrational in his actions, both he and Juliet would still have their desired happy ending.
This old notion of love and marriage contrasts sharply with what is expected and normalized in America. Other siblings take less customary and more controversial paths: Chai’s sixteen-year-old brother dates and has a child with a Christian girl, and one of her brothers divorces his first
In the play, “Romeo and Juliet” by William Shakespeare, we witness the two lovers' commitment to their relationship which led to their suicides. Romeo and Juliet's death is blamed on Juliet's parents due to the actions that separated them. An opposing claim could instead place the blame on Friar Laurence because he married them too early and his plan for Juliet to fake her death caused their real deaths. Friar Laurence married the lovers a bit too early, causing them to panic when Juliet was being forced to marry Paris, and Friar gets them killed when he led a dangerous plan to avoid the marriage to Paris.
Romeo and Juliet Problems People wonder why suicide happens, but they never do anything to prevent it. They stand there and hope it was all a dream, just like the play The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. As many people know the story of Romeo and Juliet, but many people wonder who to blame for their deaths. The family, the kids themselves, or just other people that were in the play. William Shakespeare, the author of this play, made it to blame more than one person.
Throughout the play, Romeo shows signs of being depressed through his actions and his words. However, in Act 5, he gives off more clues that he is planning on committing suicide. Perhaps, if others picked up on these hints, Romeo’s suicide could’ve been prevented. One way it was evident that Romeo was going to commit suicide, is that in Act 5 scene 1, he says to Balthasar, “Well, Juliet, I will lie with thee tonight. Let's see for means.

Be careful in knowing that” (J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix). Correspondingly, in William Shakespeare’s tragedy, Romeo and Juliet, two children born into the fate of a long-lasting family feud chose to love one another. Romeo and Juliet placed their trust in those around them which ultimately drove them to their deaths. Romeo Montague insisted that Juliet Capulet was the one he was destined to be with after attending the Capulets’ party.
Does everything really happen for a reason, or is that just an old saying? Could a fight between families really have been the cause of two teenagers suicides? In the play Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare, two teenagers fall in love but cannot be together because of their families feud. So, the two hatch a plan to be together, but it ends in tragedy and the two of them end up committing suicide. The following elements should be fully held responsible for the deaths of the teenagers Romeo and Juliet: the Montague and Capulet feud and fate.
When Romeo secretly attends the party, he acts irresponsibly, putting himself into a dangerous situation with his enemies, the Capulets. Juliet notices how dangerous of a feat this is by asking the nurse for his name, when given the answer Juliet says “ 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” (1.5.138-142).
Children. Lovers. Suicides. These three words reflect the story of Romeo and Juliet. Two Children from opposing families fall hopelessly in love with one another.
Four hundred thousand deaths, six hundred thousand attempts, and two hundred thousand considerations in a single year. The seeming epidemic that is teen suicide plagues the minds of teachers, students, friends, neighbors, and parents. Despite this wide range of victims, teenage suicide most directly affects the parents of these children, who commonly feel an overwhelming sense of guilt due to their inability to help their children. However, to many it appears obvious that there are not many things parents can do to prevent suicide, for many reasons. Furthermore, William Shakespeare proves this with his tragedy “Romeo and Juliet” in which two teenagers take their lives.
Love carries an insurmountable energy that could diffuse through racial, sexual, and economic lines. Parents blocking marriage would only appear effective on the surface, or if the couple’s bond is not strong enough. Love, unlike other things, does not fade away by the passage of time. Therefore, it would be impractical to institute blockades on children’s marriage.
Many people have immature feuds between each other. They don’t like each other for no apparent reason, and don’t want to change. This is comparable to The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. Many people think they know the whole story, but never realized there was a deeper meaning. Who is responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet?
The theme of love is often associated with peace and kindness. However, in Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, the two lovers’ suicidal impulse shows love as a cause of self-destructive violence, as seen through their thoughts, words and actions. Firstly, Romeo and Juliet’s suicidal thoughts reveal the violence caused by their love. In other words, it is their intense passion for each other that leads to their contemplation of suicide. For instance, when Romeo is told of Juliet’s supposed death, he immediately thinks of killing himself and begins to plan his suicide, as demonstrated by the following quote: “Well, Juliet, I will lie with thee tonight.
People want to get married because they are ready to take the relationship to a higher level of responsibility and commitment. The satirical argument made throughout the video is that one’s freedom is being compromised and ties, especially with the family are ruined once marriage gets in the picture. The video satirically highlights how individuals will not want to marry because of the huge commitments and responsibilities involved. This is ironic because, when it is decided that the goal of a relationship is marriage, it shows that the couple is ready to commit and love each other unconditionally.
