What problems did Juliet have in the story Romeo and Juliet?

Answer 1

Juliet's character flaw was that she was always easily persuaded. If she wanted to please someone she would always agree to what they asked her to do. Her mother didn't pay much attention to her but when she asked Juliet to get married to Paris she agreed very quickly. Also when Romeo asked her to marry him, she said she would give some thought but also quickly made up her mind to agree without once thinking about what would happen after the wedding. Lastly, Juliet was persuaded quickly when the Friar told her to drink the potion to fall in deep sleep believing that Romeo would get the letter fast enough and come get her.

Answer 2

Romeo is an extremely impulsive individual and makes decisions without considering the consequences. His mistakes bring about several complications that eventually lead to his untimely death and that of Juliet.

Answer 3

The theory oRomeo's tragic flaw is his impetuosity, his rashness of action before thinking thoroughly. You would want to look for examples of this behavior. Examples include:

• Falling in "love" with Juliet within minutes of meeting her, even after finding out that she was a Capulet.
• Forgetting about Rosaline within minutes of meeting Juliet, though he had been depressed for weeks due to his unrequited love.
• Leaving his friends after the Capulet ball and climbing back into the Capulet compound, where he would be killed if discovered.
• Swearing his love for Juliet during the balcony scene, and asking her to marry him.
• Lying to the friar to get him to marry the couple by implying that he had sex with Juliet the night before. The friar then felt obligated to "erase" that sin by marrying them after the fact (as well as to end the feud).
• Holding Mercutio back before Benvolio had the chance to do the same with Tybalt, allowing Tybalt to stab Mercutio "under [Romeo's] arm."
• Killing Tybalt in anger despite knowing the consequences, which should have been execution.
• Threatening to kill himself with a dagger after the friar informs him that he is banished, not sentenced to death.
• Buying poison from the apothecary, bullying him into accepting the money though the sale of poison was illegal and punishable by death.
• Killing Paris without even knowing who he was. Paris had come to the Capulet tomb to innocently place flowers for his 'dead' fiance. He thought that Romeo was there to defile the crypt.
• Killing himself though he should have realized that Juliet was alive. After two days, Juliet shouold not have still had rosy lips and supple flesh. Romeo notices this, but cannot figure out that she must be alive. He rashly poisons himself though she awakened within minutes.
