Who Is Responsible For The Deaths Of Romeo And Juliet

Can love be gained quickly or is it something that builds up overtime? Is it possible between 5 and 10 minutes in seeing someone you can build a deep attraction to them or do you build that attraction by spending time with someone? In the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, Romeo claims to fall in love with Juliet within a few seconds of meeting her which spirals into the event of both their deaths. This tragedy could have been avoided with thought and time and that’s why there lives were lost. Some decisions from both Romeo and Juliet were too rash, sudden, and ill advised. Romeo's love for Juliet was too rash since he didn't even know her name before he was deep in "love", the marriage was ill advised since it was built of lust
Romeo was in "deep love" with Rosaline and he was heartbroken that she didn't love him back. He attended the Capulet's ball to meet her but instead he falls in love with Juliet. "Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight! For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night"(I, v, 50-51) words from Romeo show that he fell in love with her appearance and forgot all about Rosaline. That says a lot and means that Romeo uses Juliet as a painkiller for the heartbreak Rosaline caused him.

Their unadvised marriage only led them to have to hide and lie. Romeo was hiding in Mantua while Juliet lies to her family and eventually fakes her death. Juliet's sudden decision to go through with Friar Lawrence's plan to fake her death resulted in the death of Romeo and Juliet. If Juliet had decided to run away, marry Paris or anything else Romeo and Juliet could have survived but since she made the sudden decision to listen to the Friar and fake her death she didn't take the time to figure out some alternative solutions. This decision that Juliet made was too sudden
