Romeo and Juliet questionssss!

Why does Juliet kill herself when she could be free?

A: Juliet kills herseld when she could be free because she loves Romeo. She doesnt want anything else in the world but her one true love. She didnt want to be with Paris, and in fact she would have rather killed herself than marry him. Juliet knew that without Romeo her life would be nothing. She would have to marry Paris or kill herself which she ended up doing in the end. Without Romeo in her life, her life was worthless so killing herself would actually set her free because she would be with Romeo in heaven and she was free from her family as well as Paris.

Was it right for Romeo and Juliet to run off and get married? Or was it foolish? Or both? Explain your response.

A: No it was not right for Romeo and Juliet to run off and get married because they barely knew each other. They had met like a day before and their love for each other was not that strong. They thought they loved each other but really i dont think they knew what the true meaning of loving someone is because they were only 13 years old. How does someone that young know that they want to get married better yet know that they love another person and want to be with that person forever. I thought it was very foolish indeed and the marriage shouldn't have happened in the first place. I thought that Friar Lawrence was stupid in marrying the two of them, especially since he knew that there was more of a chance in consequences occurring for Romeo and Juliet's actions. So overall the whole idea of running off and getting married was very foolish.

Do you think that The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet is really a tragedy? Explain
your response.

A: I do not thing that the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet was really a tragedy because they took their own lives. It would have been different if they were killed by other people but i dont feel sorry for either one of them for killing themselves. It was their decision and thats the way they wanted it. It is hard to feel bad for someone who would rather kill themselves because their life isnt going as perfect as they want it to go. Romeo and Juliet were stupid to kill each other, because they were 13 years old. It wasnt just them being young and in love but its the fact that they killed themselves so i believe that since they did this that it wasnt really a tragedy.
