Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy that has been extremely appreciated worldwide throughout the years. While reading one of Shakespeare’s masterpieces, watching the movie, and reciting the prologue, I could not stop and wonder if they really talked like that in those times, or if it was only Shakespeare trying to show off. Even though the formal language that was used I enjoyed the play. Reflecting upon the movie and thinking what was the changing point that made all the terrible consequences of Romeo and Juliet’s death. Was it the hate these two families hold, or Tybalt’s death? After thinking for a while, I knew that the most important reason was the fixed up marriage that Lord Capulet made for Juliet and Paris. So now the question is, what could have been worse Juliet’s death or her marrying a man she did not love? Questioning what would I do if I were in Juliet’s shoes, I definitely would not have taken the same decisions as she did. It’s really naive to think that by acting dead all of the problems would be solved, and I guess it’s true love makes people do crazy things. So here is my ending from a more neutral point of view, and without a doubt more mature than Juliet’s only solution. Lord Capulet had already told Juliet that she would be dishonored if she did not marry her new fiance Paris. So, instead of doing all of this stunt, she should just have gone with Romeo and live far away from Verona. I guess it’s a huge sacrifice, they would not have the lifestyle they are used to, and they could not meet their family again. The question here is, what sacrifice would you make for love?
