Critique my Romeo and Juliet essay?
I know it isn't very good, but i need help with fixing it up a bit and making it sound better. In the tragic story of Romeo and Juliet, written by William Shakespeare, the two lovers, Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet of Verona, Italy, are sentenced to their death by the decisions they make. The lovers are separated by their feuding families, causing them to make many rash and impulsive decisions; their actions are very sudden and given little thought. This in turn ends their love, and their lives. "These violent delights have violent ends, and in their triumph die; like fire and powder which as they kiss consume" (Act II Scene VI). In this tragic story, Romeo makes many rash decisions. First impulsive decision is to go to a dinner held by the Capulets, the enemy family, knowing his current love, Rosaline, will be there. At the party, Romeo sees Juliet for the first time, immediately forgetting Rosaline. “O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright! It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night Like a rich jewel in an Ethiope's ear; Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear!†(Act I Scene V). Romeo thinks Juliet holds all the beauty of the world, and nothing can compare to her. The second decision is to visit Juliet from the garden under her balcony. He knows the risks, and if he were to get caught he would be killed by the guards. The same night, he proposed marriage to Juliet, who would send her nurse to Romeo the next day, the day of their sudden marriage. The day of the marriage, Romeo got in a battle with Juliet’s cousin, Tybalt. The brawl began with a letter to the Montague household concerning Romeo’s presence at the party the night before. Romeo’s friend Mercutio first took on a battle with the enemy, ending in his own death. Romeo’s impulses resulted in him seeking revenge from his wife’s cousin, beginning another duel, and ending with the death of Tybalt. Romeo ran to the Friar with the punishment of being banished from Verona forever for killing Tybalt. Romeo is sent to Mantua, where he is told his wife has died. He races back to Verona for proof, “O my love, my wife! Death, that hath suck'd the honey of thy breath Hath had no power yet upon thy beauty†Act V Scene III). Romeo kills himself when he sees a dead Juliet in her family’s tomb. Juliet’s decisions also contribute to the tragic deaths of the lovers. After some persuasion, Juliet agrees to marry the boy she has only known for a few hours. She is to send her nurse to Romeo the next day. Her next decision that truly contributes to the tragedy is agreeing to marry a man named Paris to please her parents. Earlier that day, Friar gave her a potion that only the two know will put her into a deep sleep, to all others she will appear dead. The wedding is scheduled one day earlier than planned, causing her to take the potion earlier. The Friar has less time to contact Romeo, and Romeo is informed that Juliet is dead, without knowing she only took a sleeping potion. The Friar would have Romeo ready for Juliet when she awoke from her temporary death, letting them be reunited without losing the love of their families, but Romeo never got the message. Juliet kills herself after seeing her husband dead on the floor of the tomb. Romeo and Juliet die due to the rash decisions they made throughout their story. Their decisions are very impulsive and rash. The death of these star-crossed lovers brings the feuding families together for once. They both have grievances for the loss of their beloved children, but put the past behind them and try to get along. Each family vows to make a statue of the other’s child, in honor of their deceased children.
