Relationship Between Romeo And Juliet
20 July, In the Year or our Lord, 1437
To my dearest Adriana, Since we previously spoke, multiple events have occurred. My sweet Romeo, and I were deeply in love like a burning flame of passion, so we decided to be joined in holy matrimony. We were married by Friar Laurence on 18 July, 1437, and we haven't dared to speak of it to our parents, for we know they'd never allow our love to remain. Romeo and I will most likely hide this from our rivaling families until death separates our bodies and joins our spirits eternally. On the day we wed, my dear kinsman Tybalt challenged my dear loving husband to a duel. Romeo, not wanting to hurt his fellow kinsman, refused to join in this bloody battle, but his dearest friend Mercutio provoked

    Wisely and slow, they stumble that run fast” (Shakespeare 2.3.99). This quote by Friar Lawrence in William Shakespeare’s play, Romeo and Juliet, perfectly sums up two different types of relationships. One of which is represented by Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet, who run fast into their love even though their families have a seemingly unending feud. They attempt to keep their relationship secret, which causes complications and ultimately ends in their death that barriers their families feud. A similar, but slower, relationship, which is the second type, is formed as a friendship between Lennie and George, in Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, who are ranch hands that end up working on a farm in the Salinas Valley. They spend the majority of their lives together, George, small and smart, and Lennie, bigger but less intelligent, until trouble with a man on the ranch named Curley and his wife leads to George killing Lennie. When the two texts are compared, George and Lennie have a stronger relationship, because they always care for each other, they have trust, and their relationship is based off of friendship, while on the other hand Romeo and Juliet’s relationship is developed off of regretted actions, infatuation, and empty words.…

It’s clear both of them rushed into it based on superficial reasons and stupidity ended it early.…
