Catastrophes that Plagued Characters in Romeo and Juliet         Many characters in William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet invite the catastrophes they experience. These characters are Mercutio, Romeo, and Friar Laurence. Mercutio because he never thinks before he acts. He has a very big mouth and will say anything to create a joke. Romeo because of this fight with Tybalt. If this fight never occurred then the outcome of the story could have been better for Romeo …showed first 75 words of 543 total…

…showed last 75 words of 543 total…the letter in time.                  In conclusion the person that I believe invited the worst catastrophe was Romeo. This is because when Romeo killed Tybalt everything in his life crumbled. He was exiled and could never see Juliet ever again. Mercutio should have kept his mouth shut when a serious conversation like the grudge between the two families was being discussed. Friar Laurence should have provided a better alternative plan to Juliet instead of the poison.
