1.Introduction
a. Lead: In the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet by: William
Shakespeare, Romeo faces many challenges throughout the book.
b. Title + Author: Romeo and Julliet
by: William Shakespeare, this book is about 2 feuding families and how 2 lovers
connect the family’s argument and dispute.
c. Thesis/Focus: Romeo’s weakness has
caused the tragedy of the book, because he didn’t choose the right path. If
Romeo wasn’t as reckless the deaths of many could have been prevented and Romeo
and Juliet could have been together without any mishaps.
2.Body
a. Romeo is very temperamental and is
driven by revenge. He does not think of the consequences before acting. This expresses
how Romeo’s recklessness contributes to the tragedy of the book. On Act 3 Scene
1 L126-135 Romeo acts reckless and doesn’t even think twice about his actions.
Conquered by revenge he steps into battle with Tybalt.
b. Act 5 Scene 3, Romeo acts reckless once again and doesn’t
think a bout his options. Instead he kills Paris and commits suicide when he
could have lived peacefully, and litte did he know Juliet actually was alive.
c. Also, it was very reckless of him to sneak up to
Juliet’s Balcony. The situations between the 2 families were already very
delicate, and him getting caught sneaking around could have made the situation
far worse, which could have been handled in a more mature way.
3. Conclusion
I can somewhat relate to Romeo, because there are times that
I have been really angry towards my family and friends which I regret later.
However I never go as far as Romeo and leave the option to be forgiven which in
this Romeo can’t.
I feel like that it is important to control ones anger,
and not make bad decisions especially when you’re pissed off. Sometimes you do
stuff you can’t take back and might even regret it for the rest of your life….
