Romeo & Juliet Questions

Would you have lied to your whole family if you were in Juliet’s position? Why or why not?
I don’t know if I would lie to my family for the one I love. I think family is the most important thing in my life but if I was in a position like Juliet was, I might have done what she did. Her family didn’t care about her feelings and who she loved, they wanted her to be in a wealthy family and all they cared about was how others would think about her. If I was forced to marry someone I didn’t love then I might have lied to my family and try to be with the one I really love. But in the end, I think my family would forgive me for lying and know I did everything for the best.


Do you think Juliet should have faked her death? Why or why not?
I don’t think Juliet should have faked her death, two other people died because of her actions. I think she should have done something else to run away from her marriage than faking her death. Romeo never got the message that she was still alive, so he killed himself. Paris got in a fight with Romeo and Romeo killed Paris all over the death of Juliet. I don’t know what she should have done but faking her death was not the smartest thing.


Was it right for Romeo and Juliet to kill themselves because of their love for each other? Why or why not?
I don’t think it was right for Romeo and Juliet to kill themselves. I think they were too young to take their lives for the ones they think they love. I think it was all a bit too dramatic because they had just met each other a week or so ago. I think if the would have waited longer and actually were together than I don’t think they would be together forever and always be in love. I think it was really foolish for Juliet to pretend her death and stupid for Romeo to kill himself for Juliet.
