Their deadly love

There are 32,622 young adults that commit suicides every year, these young adults or teens think that killing themselves is the only way to solve their problems, when they haven’t thought things through, much like Romeo and Juliet. This paper will be about how things are fickle or preventable, if someone would have changed something or wouldn’t have done one thing, because even the smallest thing could have saved Romeo and Juliet, things could have been different. In the play The tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, the main characters are Romeo and Juliet. This play is about how their deaths are preventable. The play is set around Romeo and Juliet and how they fall in love, and that their love leads them to their deaths. After a series of unfortunate events that lead to their deaths, not only their choice affects the play but other characters choices and their own fate.
This paragraph is about some of Romeo's and Juliet's choices that lead to their own deaths. If they would have thought things through the play wouldn't have ended the way it did. For example, if Romeo would have listed to himself and didn’t go to the party, the play wouldn't carry on like it did, he had like a sixth sense about something bad starting to happen at that party, "And my mind misgives some consequnce yet hanging in the stars shall bitterly begin this fearful date...And expire the term of a dispised life."
Another example would be that Romeo's and Juliet's families where enemies, if they would completely realized and understood that, the play wouldn't have end in death. Juliet partly realized this and said, "My only love sprung from my only hate." Romeo also said, “My life is my foe's debt." Romeo’s and Juliet’s impetuous decisions affected the play a great deal; Juliet said this by telling Romeo, “Too rash, too unadvised, too sudden… it’s too like lightening that ceases to exist ere you can say it lightens.” Making better disions would have allowed Romeo and Juliet not to die the way they did, but other people choices still affects their life and this play.
Romeo and Juliet are not the only ones who do things that cause their own down fall. Other characters also contributed to the events that cause the play to end in the suicide-deaths. If Friar Lawrence didn’t marry Romeo and Juliet, things wouldn’t have gone down like they did. The only reason the Friar married them both was because he thought he could fix the feud between the two families with Romeo’s and Juliet’s love, to show this Friar Lawrence says “In one respect I’ll they assistant be; For this alliance may so happy prove to turn your households’ rancor to pure love.” Another person that effects the play is Tybalt, if Tybalt grew up and takes responsibility then he isn’t looking for Romeo and doesn’t get killed , but Tybalt holds it in vain and says “ I will withdraw but this intrusion now seeing sweet shall turn to bitterest gale." And Tybalt still blames Romeo, for his own embarrassment at Lord Capulet's party and says again "Boy this shall not excuse the injuries thou hast done me; therefore turn and draw.", after Romeo tries to make up and say sorry to Tybalt. My last example is if Lord Capulet would have married off Juliet off to Paris earlier, Juliet would have more of a chance she wouldn’t have meet Romeo, and things would have been different. These characters also are responsible for the play's ending the way it does. However there is one more element that the plays a part: fate. The prologue tells us these are "star-crossed" lovers and Juliet’s begs fortune to be fickled, unfortunately fate is too fickle and changes for the worse.
There are three dispoining signs that fate isn’t on Romeo's and Juliet's side, one is when Friar John couldn’t deliver the letter to Romeo saying that Juliet’s death is staged. The reason Friar John couldn’t deliver the letter, was because health officials of Verona wouldn’t let him Friar John leave Verona because they thought he was carrying a deadly desises. Friar John tells this to Friar Lawrence," I could not send it. Here it is again." The second example is when Balthasar see's Juliet "lied low" but Balthasar doesn’t know Juliet is faking her death for 42 hours to run away with Romeo, "Then she is well and nothing can be ill. Her body sleeps in Capels' Monumenty and her immortal part with the angels lives. I saw her laid low in her Kindrd's vault." the last example is: timing. If Romeo would have listened to Balthasar and waited till fore there notice, he wouldn’t have bought the poison and later drank it so quickly! Or even if he was a couple minutes or seconds late he would have more of a chance not killing himself. Or when he noticed that Juliet looked alive with her lips and cheeks"(quote)" But nothing worked, Romeo drank the poison seconds before Juliet woke up.
In this paper we talked about how the suicides of Romeo and Juliet was fickle and it their fate and their own and others action to cause it all, and that it all was fickle or preventable. If Romeo listed to his gut and didn’t go to the party then he wouldn’t have meet Juliet and Friar Lawrence wouldn’t have married them both and Romeo wouldn’t have bought the poison to kill himself moments before Juliet wakes to then kill herself. One can tell that suicides can be prevented and that if someone did something, this all wouldn’t have happened. Not doing or doing something in ones life is all the matter. Prevent at least one of those 32,622 teens that commits suicide every year.

With Cupid's arrow. She hath Dian's wit,

Nor bide th' encounter of assailing eyes,
Nor ope her lap to saint-seducing gold.
O, she is rich in beauty; only poor
That, when she dies, with dies her store.
Act 1,Scene 1, lines 180-197”
