RRE due 3//21/13


Shakespeare had some great pieces of writing including poetry like sonnets, like one of his most famous sonnet number 138. Another famous book/ play I have known since kindergarten or pre-k Romeo and Juliet written in the year 1593 (about) and published in 1597.
I have always wondered what Romeo and Juliet besides a story about “star crossed lovers”. Basically it’s about (so far) Romeo and Juliet are both looking for love at a party until they find each other. Then they realize their families are in a fight so they secretly get married. After that Mercutio and Tybalt get into a fight then Romeo tries to break it up getting Mercutio injured. Then he gets mad at Tybalt and eventually kills him. Later the king finds out and banishes him from Verona. He is devastated and so is Juliet because she lost 3 people. Mercutio and Tybalt dead, and Romeo banned. I personally think Romeo was trying to be a hero but he got his temper up and made a wrong situation.
Romeo was thinking that since he got married to the girl of his dreams he felt superior and invincible, so that he could do anything. That was proved wrong by trying to be a hero and then getting someone killed then killing someone else and then getting banished. Truthfully I know how he felt at those moments. When your confidence is out of the roof and you can’t help but think you are “the boss man/women (in other cases). I also think that overall that was a bad decision for Romeo to make that move though.
At that moment Romeo’s mind and heart were definitely racing to make the choice he made. Also it probably was that he was mad about Mercutio. Lastly Romeo should have been thinking before those events, and he could have realized the consequences awaiting him.
