5 Questions and answers

I do agree that love and insight is better than love at first sight. Love at first sight is overrated; it is a strong physical attraction. If you claim to love someone at first sight then you do not get the chance to know that person. Romeo and Juliet started out with a love that was strictly physical. Their love did begin to develop until later in the story, they made it complicated for themselves.When their love did begin to develop their sins had caught up with them and resulted in death. At the party Romeo was not thrown out but, surprisenly Lord Capulet did not mind him being there. If Romeo had not rushed things then I believe he would have won Lord Capulet's favor. Love can not be rushed and it does not develop in a day; love takes time. Also they did not have true love because their was so much fear in their relationship. Rome feared being caught and they continued to run away from their problems. "There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love."-1 John 4:18

The Montague and Capulet appellation and, the selfishness of everyone is responsible for all deaths that occured. Every battle was because of the "Montague" or "Capulet". There was enmity between the two families but, there had no idea why there was such hatred. It was all very childish. Also because, of everyones foolish it, resulted in multiple deaths. Lord Capulet was obstinate and his wife ditzy. If they had been more considerate of Juliet's feelings then she would have been alive. Romeo lacked guidence. His parents were are to blame because, Romeo would not have been so self-lost if they had communicated with him. The blame of all these deaths are on everyone because their was lack of communication. The characters assumed rather than knowing. Tybalt assumed that Romeo killed Juliet. In this play when people are foolish and make assumpitions it leads to pandemonium and consequently death. Instead of helping eachother the characters made it difficult for themselves. The Friar got himself into a predicament which could have resulted in his death but, he choose to run away. In this play the characters run from their problems and do not know how to handle them when they catch up with them so, they do what they know which, is fighting and killing.

No i would not have lied in Juliet's case. I do not think that she was comfortable enough to confide in anyone. What is a child to do when she feels no one understands her? Juliet probably thought that if would be useless to tell her family her true feelings because they would not accept them. Juliet figured that lying would result in happiness. I would not have lied if i was in her case because the worst the parents could say was no. I think that if she told someone in her family her feelings then she would have felt better. Also I believe she should have told her parents because if her love for his was authentic then she would not care what her parents thought. She made herself more miserable by holding all that tension inside.

It was foolsih for them to rush to marry. Their was a lot of tension between the families and the timing was not right. They also did not get a chance to fully know or to understand eachother.
Patience is rewarded and if they would have waited then maybe they ciyld have been a happy married couple. Also, they are to young to marry. Romeo is apparently self-lost. I do not understand how they thought they could take care of eachother when they did not know themselves. Their rushing of things created more tension. They are inconsiderate and more like thier parents than i want to be. Juliet is inconsiderate like her parents and Romeo is lost like his.

If I were one of the parents I would feel their deaths were completely my fault. I would feel like I did not do my job as a parent and I that guilt would haunt me daily. I would also feel that was selfish and that my selfishness resulted in the deaths of many. I think that amount of pain would strick me like lighting. It is had to take responsibility for something as of the death of your child and I think thatit would be hard living without them. I wouldnt be able to forgive myself.
