25, March 2014 Robert Louis Stevenson is a Scottish writer born, November 13, 1850 and died December 3, 1894. He says, “Everybody sooner or later sits down to a banquet of consequences.” Consequences are often formed when people make hasty decisions and do not think there thoughts through. Such is the case in the play “Romeo and Juliet” when the two characters do not think of how decision will affect them in the future. In the play hasty decisions caused Romeo and Juliet's deaths. Hasty decisions were made going to the party, being married and drinking the potions. Romeo going to the party was a hasty decision and in turn he finds himself with consequences too large. A servant was wondering the streets of Verona with a scroll he could not read. In the scroll it was a list of people who were invited to Lord Capulet's party. Romeo offered to read it and found out that his true love was going but Benvolio tells him that if they go to the party Romeo will find other girls much prettier. Romeo comes back and tell Benvolio, “I'll go along, no such sight to be shown./But to rejoice in my splendor of my own” (Act 1, Scene 3, Lines …show more content…
So instead of asking the Friar who is a trusted friend what happened he goes and buys poison. The poison only works if put in food; Romeo says, “Farewell, buy food and get in flesh” (Act 5, Scene 1, Line 88). Romeo lays himself next to Juliet and dies from the poison but Juliet is only asleep. When Juliet awakes she stabs herself with Romeo's dagger only to see Romeo dead. The first watchman say, “Rome dead, and Juliet dead before” (Act 5, Scene 3, Line 203). In that instant moment a bond grows between the Capulet's and Montagues. The parents realize that blood was spilled because of there hatred for one another and because of not seeing future
