Juliet's Monolouge

In the play Romeo and Juliet (It doesn't let me underline romeo and Juliet), by William Shakespeare, Juliet's individual choice(s) make everything change. I think that what is affecting Juliet is her individual choices because if she were to be another girl she would of just gone along with her parent's choice on marrying Paris, but since she doesn't want to marry him, that choice will change everything and lead her to where she is right now. "Nurse! What should she do here? My dismal scene I needs must act alone.Come,vial. What if this mixture do not work at all? Shall I be married then to-morrow morning? No,no: this shall forbid it: lie thou there." In this quote, it shows that her individual choice is to not marry Paris so to make that happen she is going to take a vial to make her fall asleep for 2 days so that she can meet up with Romeo and together flee from the village.Yet is she were another girl she would of just not tried to reject the marriage with Paris and would just forcefully be with someone she wouldn't love and leave all the love she had with Romeo to be good with her parents. Juliet's decisions are basically making her end up in another situation with her parents.

Juliet's Monolouge

      In the play Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare, Juliet's quick decisions that lead to problems have the biggest impact in Act 4. In the play, Juliet marries Romeo, someone who she had just met the day before and doesn't even know anything about him except that he is a Monteque and is very devoted to her. This is an example of her personal flaws that she makes quick decisions. Another example of her making quick decisions is not even thinking about what would her family think if they found out that she is married to the person that killed her cousin and is part of the Moteque Family. Also her family forces her to marry Paris, but she doesn't want to so she tries going to Frair, a friend of Romeo and asks him if he could help her with her problem, so Frair gives her a vial that will make her look like she killed herself. In Act 4 Scene 3 Juliet says,"How if, when I am laid in the tomb, I wake before the time that Romeo come to redeem me?..." Juliet is thinking that Romeo will not get to her in time before they bury her when she says " wake before the time that Romeo come to redeem me." Juliet's quick decisions lead to problem with her and family.

Romeo and Juliet

The play is way more different from he art work because the art work is calm and the play is more aggressive and fiery so these two things are way to different things
