Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare is known to be a tragedy but in-depth research differentiates the causes. Some might object and define it as the consequence of destructive adolescent love; however Romeo's role in that story is taken too lightly. Romeo has therefore been defined throughout the book as a very hasty character whose actions are dictated by his emotions or a bad situation he is trapped in proven by Tybalt's death at Romeo's hands. Therefore, to fully understand Romeo's role in the story, if we consider that every action he takes is the result of pure impulsiveness, the fact that everything he does results in a death or an unnecessary event and that if he really took time to think before acting therefore, there would have been no problems. It can therefore be well said that Romeo's insistent and impulsive actions are responsible for the tragedy of the book. This will be demonstrated by numerous quotes and passages of acts II, III, and V. Romeo's decisions are rash and inconsistent. Driven by desire, Romeo is once again in love, deceived by the charm of a beautiful face and is willing to take any risk to see the love of his life. After meeting Juliet, daughter of the powerful Capulet, at a ball he shouldn't even have attended, he chooses, after their separation, to return to her because he feels incomplete. Just choosing to jump over the Capulets' wall was a bad decision in itself. If he had been captured by a Capulet or the guards he would surely have been killed and would have taken all these risks for nothing. His impulsiveness leads him to make an important decision without first thinking about the consequences his actions could cause. «I'll take you at your word. / Call me, my love, and I will be baptized again. / Hen... half the paper... it's tragically. Essentially, Romeo's biggest flaw in the book was his impulsiveness and his habit of being very pushy. The tragedy of the book was therefore the end result of consequent impulsive actions performed by a specific character: Romeo. The possibility of tragedy was established with Romeo's participation in the Capulet masquerade, prompting Juliet to agree to marry him and finally get married. The likelihood of their deaths was increased by Romeo's killing of Tybalt and his exile. Ultimately, tragedy took shape when Romeo committed suicide followed by Juliet. At no point was he cautious in making his decisions or thought about the consequences of his actions. These actions caused a lot of unnecessary drama and led to all the characters' downfall. So, as the Prince explained so well at the end of the book “There never was a sadder story / Than this of Juliet and her Romeo”.”.
