Moments Romeo acts impulsively

One Time Romeo acts impulsively- After Romeo meets Juliet he rushes at night time to see her . Sneaking round the walls , risking death if the Capulet guards see him. When Juliet comes out and says his name would be the only problem Romeo proudly declared he will change his name for her.

“I take thee at thy word.
Call me but love, and I’ll be new baptized.
Henceforth I never will be Romeo”

after this Romeo rushes to Friar Lawrence and asked him to marry them. The prince tells Romeo he is acting impulsively but he still goes ahead.

Second time Romeo acts impulsively- When Romeo is misinformed that Juliet has died he rushes to the apothecary and demands poison. Romeo then rushes to the place where Juliet is lying. when Romeo sees Juliet he believes she is dead.

“Why art thou yet so fair?”

Without thinking or proper consideration Romeo acts impulsively and drinks the poison killing himself.

Juliet

three moments in the play when Juliet has little or no control is –

in the play Juliets father forces her to marry the count, Paris.he says to her “for by my soul, I’ll never acknowledge thee .. ” if she refuses to marry the man he is directing to her to.

these words from capulet to Juliet to give us insight into the limited control women had in the 16 century England had. here, he is saying that unless she participates in the arranged marriage, he swears on his soul to disown her.

in Elizabeth England a women without a male figure to make decisions for her and look after her was put in a venerable spot. Juliet faces exile from her family therefore her life as she knows it, if she does not obey her father. we know that Juliet docent have the skills to operate in the male dominated society because of her lack of action or ability to take action therefor understand why she decides to obey her fathers instructions offering us limited freedom of women in this time.s9sxi899888i8
