I believe Romeo and Juliet should be remembered as being fools. First off I think that there love was not a real one seeing as though they got married after seeing each other about two times. Also it is said that Romeo only loves with his eyes so he didn't care about Juliet as a person but of her beauty. Lastly I think that it was dumb of Romeo to take his own life when he thought Juliets was gone. In Act V Scene 3 Romeo goes into the tomb that holds Juliets body and says, "Is crimson in thy lips and in the cheeks,". He sees Juliets body and it looks alive. Instead of killing himself right then and there he should of checked if she were still breathing, and then Friar Laurence could of told him about there plans, but instead he killed himself like a fool.

I believe that Juliets parents are the bad guys, I also think that it was Shakespears intentions to make them seem like they are the bad guys. They are forcing Juliet to marry Paris, I get that it was a different time period but if Romeo and Juliet are in love they should let them be happy. Capulet even says that if she does not marry Paris he wants nothing to do with her. In Act III scene 5 Capulet says, "Speak not, reply not, do not answer me!". He says this to Juliet and does not want to speak to her after she refuses to marry Paris.

Juliet is glad that Romeo isn't dead but rather banished. Of course she doesn't want her love to be gone but she knows that the Prince could of had him killed but banished home instead, so she in great full for that. However Romeo sees it in a different way. To him banishment is as good as being dead because he cannot be with his love. In Act III Scene 3 Romeo says, "There is not world without Verona walls". Then later says, "Calling death "banishment",". Romeo would rather die then be banished and Juliet would rather have Romeo banished then dead.

I do not think that one love is worth your life, at least to a point. I think that the love is worth having if both of you will die. But if only one of you dies I don't think the other should take there life. I know this is a weird statement but I believe it is true. If you two know that your love should cost both of you your lives then go for it. But if only one dies I think the other should fight through it because there are plenty of more people out there for you, and you shouldn't rob yourself of that. In Act II Scence 3 Friar Laurence says, "O, mickle is the powerful grace that lies In plants, herbs, stones, and their true qualities; For naught so vile that on the earth doth live But to the earth some special good doth live". He talks about the good and the bad, like this journal, love and death.

I think Romeo and Juliet's love is shallow. I think this because at this point in the play they have only known each other for a very short amount of time. Sure they have kissed but that is only because Romeo thought she was attractive. There whole relationships at this point is based on mutual agreement on each other being attractive, they don't even fully recognize each other's voice. In Act II Scene 2 Romeo says, "As is a winged messenger of Heaven". This refers to his fondness of Juliet's beauty.  

Mercutio does not take life as seriously as Romeo does. He is joking around while Romeo is very depressed about his love being gone. In this way Marcutio is Romeos foil. In act 1 scene 4 Mercutio says "Nay, gentle Romeo,we must have you dance." Romeo replies "Not I, believe me. You have dancing shoes With nimble soles; I have a soul of lead So stakes me to the ground I cannot move." This is an example of there contrast.

       I think Romeo is a romantic. He had fallen in love to a girl, Roseline, that he could never have. He does not think that anyone compares to her as a person and in beauty. Because of this he has not gotten over her and locks himself up in his room and cries in the forrest. For these reasons I think Romeo is a romantic
