Romeo is one of our two protagonists in the play. At times, he directly acknowledges the power that “fate” has over him. During other points in the play, Romeo demonstrates an inability to control his emotions and this means he acts rashly. we can argue that because he is an impulsive character, Shakespeare is showing us that another power, like fate, directs his life + decisions.
- Protagonists: they are the centre of attention of the book
- inability to control his emotions: Cant process his emotions
- acts rashly: He acts without thinking
- impulsive: Acts without thinking
- When Romeo asks the wind to carry his sails when he is about o take the pill before the party
- “then death prorogued of thy love”
- I am no pilot, yet wert thou as far as that vast shore wash’d with the farthest sea, I should adventure for such merchandise.
- When Romeo kills Tybalt – “And all those twenty could but kill one life. I beg for justice, which thou, prince, must give; Romeo slew Tybalt, Romeo must not live.”
- Drinking the poison – “Here’s to my love! (drinks the poison) O true apothecary, Thy drugs are quick. Thus with a kiss, I die.”
such a good piece of work you have done here if only you had done this earlier you could have saved both romeo and juliet’s lives ?
