Romeo and Juliet

The character that I chose to follow throughout the play was Romeo. This is one character that definitely changed a lot throughout the play. In the beginning he was still grieving over losing Roseline. He was a very emotional person and really needed love. He was very self centered and basically felt like he was the only one that mattered in the world

He would always make quick decisions that didn't turn out to be good ones in the long run. For example when Tybalt and Mercutio were sword fighting, when Mercutio was stabbed, he made the quick decision to start fighting Tybalt, which would eventually lead to him being banished. Whenever he was around Juliet though, he was different, he was calm and relaxed. It probably seemed to his family that he was a traitor because he barely thought about the death of Mercutio, and thought more about Juliet.

The day before Juliet had to marry County Paris, she decided to take a sleeping potion, to fake her death, and then run away with Romeo. But as soon as Romeo sees the love of his life Juliet lying dead. He immediately turns back to his old self and starts making quick decisions. He decides that he wouldn't be able to live without Juliet and kills himself right then and there. Again his quick decisions turned out to not be helpful in the long run, because as soon as Juliet wakes up and sees romeo dead, she actually kills her self.
