Eulogy for Romeo & Juliet
EuloEulogy

Citizens of fair Verona, today we gather here to remember the two star-crossed lovers, Romeo and Juliet who sacrificed their lives for each other. We are here to say goodbye to our two lovers, Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet. These two young teenagers were deeply in love with each other, but sadly died at a very young age. Although fate has already accomplished its deed, we can still remember the legacy Romeo and Juliet have left at such a tender age. We are here today to celebrate the life of Romeo. Romeo was a kind, handsome, intelligent, and sensitive boy. He always tried to make things right. He is not at all interested in violence. Romeo was a very impulsive person. He was impulsive when he wanted to get married to Juliet very quickly, some may even say too quickly. His only interest is love. When he first laid eyes on Juliet, he had already fallen in love with her. This was a bit of a problem because both families were not the best of friends. Romeo had changed immensely and became a whole new person over the last few weeks of his life.

We are also here to celebrate the life of Juliet. Juliet was a beautiful, young woman from the Capulet Family. She was born almost 14 short years ago into the house of Capulet. She has had her ups and downs with her families. Given the sacrifices of Juliet, we all hope that the hatred and violence between her house and the house of her lover, Romeo of the Montague family will end permanently. It is sad that she has been taken to heaven today. In the streets of Verona, let the families learn to keep the Peace. For look at what happened to dear Juliet. May you rest in peace, sweet Juliet.
To all of my friends that have gathered here today, I would like to say thank you in helping us remember the lives of the wonderful star-crossed lovers Romeo and Juliet. I pray that we can live as a single family, and that the houses of Montague and Capulet will live happily for the remainder of days.

    I come before you all, perhaps at fault, perhaps condemnable, but in mourning of this portentous matter, just as you, nonetheless. Such a lamentable day as this has never yet existed, and on no account will another as tragic befall Verona in such pernicious splendor. Juliet Capulet and Romeo Montague, brought to Death by blind ambiguity and an ill-starred love, deserve more than passing sorrow and enduring reconciliation amid these grieving families: they ought to be remembered and not forgotten.…

    Both the Capulet family and the Montague family are fools. They think all this fighting will achieve something? Well I hope Christ is looking upon them, for their sake. Now all this fighting has led to the death of a child from each of their families. Romeo and Juliet are dead because of this ludicrous feud, but I will pray for them none the less. I feel as though it is my fault, that I caused all of this, but they are still children of the Lord and it is my duty to look after all of them. I will pray for Romeo and I will pray for Juliet all night in front of the Lord. What if I had told someone about the marriage and the plan to fake Juliet's death? Maybe they would still be with us.…

    His spontaneous nature is seen in all his emotions. Romeo goes from obsessing over Rosaline and nothing in the world being able to replace her to being madly in love with Juliet in mere minutes because of his impulsive nature. A few minutes after seeing Juliet for the first time in his life, Romeo decides to marry her that very day. He does not want to wait at all and he would marry her right there if he could. His hastiness then leads him to Friar Lawrence to beg him to marry them. Throughout his conversation with Friar Lawrence, the Friar brings up many good points as to why Romeo and Juliet should wait to get married but Romeo does not care about what anyone else thinks and keeps telling the Friar that he wants to get married to Juliet as soon as possible, which we can see when he says “... but this I pray, That thou consent to marry us today.” (II, iii, 59-60). Romeo’s impulsiveness is evident throughout his relationship with Juliet and we can also see it in many other aspects of the…

    Romeo 's impulsiveness played a key role and is shown when he quickly fell out of love with Rosaline and into love with Juliet, having decided to marry her after knowing her for less than a day. Another case of impulse was due to misunderstanding and assumption, when he assumed that Juliet was dead. His only thought was to take his life, instead of finding out if she was still alive. Romeo was also vengeful and didn 't think though or control his feelings as in the example when Tybalt killed Mercutio and Romeo ran after Tybalt to pay back. This bad decision led to Romeo being banned from Verona and started the miscommunication between Romeo and Juliet, which eventually led to their deaths.…

    Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare is a tragedy about two young lovers, whose passionate love is ended by the fated death of both parties. The sad conclusion of their young love is also caused by many others besides the protagonists Romeo and Juliet; some shall be pardoned; while some shall be punished. Juliet’s beloved mother-figure- the Nurse, does not deserve the audience’s scorn. Friar John, the Franciscan monk who plays a part in the death of Romeo, should also, be forgiven. Friar Laurence and Capulet, on the other hand, have many faults that contribute to the end results, of which I will discuss further.…

    In many ways Romeo's attitude to life is childlike and idealistic. Like a child he seeks attention and creates drama in the most unnecessary of situations. He seeks to seem mature by discussing love and the effect it has had on him but his actions have the opposite effect by making him seem childish.…
