Proof is when the lovers are too overcome by emotion for each other that they jump to conclusions to fast, and romeo misses the letter when he is bansihed letting him know shes pretended to die in order to see him alone. Romeo sees her body without knowledge of the message and takes his own life just as juliet is waking up, therefore sealing their fates. blah blah blah....if you really need help look up romeo and juliet on spark notes or google romeo and juliet essays. There should be a bunch but dont plagerize, just rephrase the main points and stuff.

easiest question ever for that book, i read it last year, but the impulsiveness and haste of romeo and juliet led to there demise, because a bunch of shit happened and romeo thought juliet was dead cause she took a sleeping potion from some dude, so romeo ended up killing himself and juliet killed herself because she saw romeo was dead.

The story of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare has many morals in it. One of the biggest morals is moderation; taking things at a steady pace is better than running things quickly. There are many occurrences of this such as Romeo and Juliet getting married about 12 hours after they meet. Everything is run though very fast in this story. The three characters who enforce moderation the most would be Benvolio, Friar Lawrence, and Juliet.
Juliet didn’t want to rush into anything until she met Romeo. She was told that Paris wanted to marry her. She said “I’ll look to like, if looking liking move” meaning she will see if she likes him. There she was stating that she didn’t want to just go and marry him not even knowing who he is. Juliet wasn’t overall the most enforcing of the moderation moral, but she had some occasions. She quickly agreed to marry Romeo and rushed into that. She also rushed into Friar Lawrence’s plan to reunite Romeo and Juliet after Romeo was banished for killing Tybalt.
Friar Lawrence enforced the moderation theme well, but not so well when he came up with the plan to reunite Romeo and Juliet. He said “These violent delights have violent ends” meaning that how Romeo and Juliet got together so fast, that something terrible and dire would happen. Turns out something terrible does happen. He was never very confident in marrying them because everything went so fast. But he denied this moral later in the story when he came up with the plan to reunite Romeo with Juliet. He never made certain that the letter would get to Romeo. Also Balthasar saw Juliet and thought she was dead, so he told Romeo. Romeo not knowing she was just under a potion went and killed himself without waiting for an explanation. Therefore Friar Lawrence enforced this moral in some cases.
The biggest enforcer of this moral is defiantly Benvolio. He was the one who always had the “I don’t think this is such a good idea” attitude. One great example of this is when he tried to break up the fight between Mercutio and Tybalt. Benvolio avoids any quarrel by saying “We walk here in the public haunt of men. Either withdraw unto some private place, or reason coldly of your grievances, or else depart”. He is basically saying that if there is some quarrel, to solve it in a calm manner. Benvolio doesn’t have any incidents were he didn’t enforce the moderation rule.
We see many other occurrences of moderation throughout the story, but the most significant characters showing this would be Benvolio, Juliet, and Friar Lawrence. They all had incidents that greatly affected the story and its plot. Juliet and not wanting to marry Paris right away, Friar Lawrence and warning Romeo and Juliet that terrible things can happen to them because they rushed into their relationship so fast, and Benvolio and always “having a bad feeling” about things. This gives every reader a good moral and that they should consider moderating things in their own lives.
