ROMAYO AND JULIET REFLECTION

1. “Love and insight is better than love at first sight.” Do you agree or disagree? Why?
I totally agree with this quote. How can you love someone if you dont even know who they are? You automaticallly think your love with them at first sight, meaning that its basically a physical connection, and thats not what love is all about. Insight, meaning you acutally know who your loved one is, and you guys are practically best friends. To me thats love and i just dont know how a relationship could even work out if you didnt know them, meaning insight is way better than love at first sight.

2.Was it right for Romeo and Juliet to kill themselves because of their love for each other? Why or why not
I think that both of them killing themselves was the dumbest thing I ever read. They barely even knew eachtoher, and they were head over heels for each other. they got married the day after they met. Thats just crazy. And then when romeo gets banished they both think that its the end of the world, and they dont know what to do. I didnt mind it so much that Juliet poisoned herself, because she was jsut doing it so her life wouldnt get messed up. But romeo blew eveything out of proportion when he decided to kill himself when he thought that Juliet was dead. They both comitted suicide, because they just wanted to be toghether. I wouldn't even do that. I would live my life first.

3.Would you have lied to your whole family if you were in Juliet’s position? Why or why not?
If I was Juliet I wouldnt have lied. Honostly if my family cant like accept me or who I supposedly love i would just leave. Its there problem not mine. So i think that even though Romeo was a Montague, if Juliet just would have told her parents than maybe they wouldnt have forced her to marry Paris, which then resulted in the death of everyone.

4.Why does Juliet kill herself when she could be free?
I dont know why Juliet did this, she is so stupid. Like who doesnt think to just run off with Romeo ? He's already banished, and if she went with him they would both avoid the wrath of there families. Also she would have been able to avoid marrying Paris. Romeo and Juliet could have lived there lives happily, no disturbances, had SEXY KIDS :) but no Juliets a dumb ass and tried to solve evrything by pretending to kill herself.

5. How would you feel if you were one of the parents in one of these families after all this happened
If i was the parent of romeo or Juliet. I would feel so horrible. I would definetly end the feud, then. I mean they both just lost there kid because they were afraid to tell there parents that they were in love. Basically its the parents fault because the kids knew if they told they're parents theywouldnt accept there marriage, and then htey wouldnt know what to do with themselves. if this happened I peersonally would feel like it was my fault that my kids decided to do this. But that wont happen, because if one of my kids is happy, Im gooing to be happy. ! :)
