Romeo and JulietShakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" is considered one of the most tragic stories ever told and the most frequently asked question is 'What, exactly, caused their deaths?' This question was answered by a respected and educated literary critic to the adolescent mind of an annoyed teenager. The sources to be used are from professional critics, but the opinion tends to be more that of an annoyed teenager. Even if not exactly annoyed, actually exasperated, one might say. Romeo and Juliet commit suicide due to their young age. Romeo's impulsiveness and desperation to love mixed with Juliet's innocence and easily influenced personality prove to be a deadly match. Romeo and Juliet's lack of love experience due to their age ultimately led to their deaths. Romeo shows himself to be reckless with his obsession with the idea of ​​love. Romeo Montague had just reached the age of manhood when he met Rosaline. 'She is too beautiful, too wise, wisely too just'/ 'to deserve bliss by making me despair.'/ 'She swore to love, and in that vow'/ 'I live dead to tell the tale now' - (Act 1, Scene 1 L. 215-218). She goes on about her beauty and how shameful it is that someone as beautiful as her remains a virgin her whole life. Ironically, he meets Juliet a few hours later and describes her thus: "Has my heart loved until now?" Renounce this, sight!'/ 'For I never saw true beauty till this night' - (Act 1, scene 5 L. 49-50). He is so in need of love that his affection can be replaced in a matter of hours by a girl who is cute to look at. Furthermore, it is obvious through his words that Romeo is a fickle type, he bases his love on someone's appearance. His superficiality can be seen through his age by his lack of knowledge and lack... half of paper... if he had one, he could have lived with Juliet. Even though Juliet is not as zealous in love as Romeo is, his effect on her expresses a different side of herself that even she did not know. Romeo's influence on her takes a completely different direction than the one she grew up in. «O Romeo, Romeo! Why are you Romeo? Deny your father and refuse your name.'/ 'or, if you will not, swear to me my love, and I will no longer be a Capulet' – (Act 2, Scene 2 L. 33-36). Juliet grows up in a very patriarchal society and that means her father is the head of the house. What he says, go. When Capulet, Juliet's father, learns of her refusal to marry Paris, he retorts: "What, she won't have any?" Don't you thank us?'/ 'Aren't you proud? Does she not consider herself blessed?'/ 'Unworthy as she is of what we have accomplished'/ 'A gentleman so worthy of being his bride?' – (Act 3, scene 5 L.142-145).
