It has been proposed, regarding the play Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare, that Romeo behaves rashly while Juliet demonstrates superior judgment. Perhaps Romeo is more confident and quicker to make decisions, and Juliet takes her time to think through problems. Both Romeo and Juliet make good decisions and exercise good judgment, but they also make mistakes by acting hastily without thinking. Juliette behaves in a careful and thoughtful manner at different stages of the play. An example of this is when Lady Capulet talks to him about marrying Paris. She declines the offer: “It’s an honor I don’t dream of” (I.iii.71). She doesn't think she's ready to get married yet and hasn't even thought about it. She leaves the option open and tells her mother that she will "seem to love" (I.iii.103), meaning that she will try to love him but will only go as far as his mother wants it. Juliette isn't sure she wants to marry Paris, but she will consider the possibility as she gets to know him. In other parts of the play, Juliette is quite reckless and acts rashly and very quickly. An example of this is when she wakes up in the tomb and finds that Romeo is dead. She refuses to listen to Brother Lawrence's pleas, to leave the tomb and accompany him to a convent. Instead, she tells him, “Go, leave here, for I will not go” (V.iii.165). She tries to poison herself but there is no poison left. When she hears the watch coming, she grabs Romeo's dagger and fatally stabs herself. Juliette is so distraught that she loses her ability to think rationally and attempts to poison herself. Instead of listening to the brother, in desperation, she kills herself with the dagger. Romeo is cautious and considerate in certain parts of the play. An example of this is when he tries to convince his friends not to go to the Capulet ball: "it's not a good idea to go" (I.iv.51). Another example is when Juliet confesses her desire to marry him; he is going to speak to Brother Laurent. He explains the difficult situation to the brother and asks for his help. Romeo acts with foresight in both cases. When he tells his friends not to go to the Capulet ball, he anticipates the consequences. He is also cautious about his love for Juliette but when he needs help, he is not afraid to ask..
