It has been proposed, regarding William Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet, that Romeo behaves recklessly while Juliet displays superior judgment. Perhaps Romeo is more confident and quick to make decisions, and Juliet takes time to think through problems. Both Romeo and Juliet make some good decisions and demonstrate good judgment but, they also make some mistakes by acting hastily without thinking. Juliet behaves attentively and thoughtfully in the different phases of the show. An example of this is when Lady Capulet talks to her about marrying Paris. He declines the offer: “It is an honor of which I do not dream” (I.iii.71). She doesn't think she's ready to get married yet and hasn't even thought about it. He leaves the option open and tells his mother that he will "seem to like it" (I.iii.103), meaning that he will try to like it but will only go as far as his mother wants. Juliet 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 Juliet is quite reckless and acts recklessly and very quickly. An example of this is when he wakes up in the tomb and finds that Romeo is dead. He refuses to listen to Friar Laurence's pleas to leave the tomb and come with him to the convent. Instead she tells him "Go, get out of here, for I will not go away" (V.iii.165). He tries to poison himself but there is no more poison. When he hears the clock coming, he grabs Romeo's dagger and stabs himself to death. Juliet is so distraught that she loses the ability to think rationally and tries to poison herself. Instead of listening to the friar, in desperation, she kills herself with the dagger. Romeo is careful and thoughtful in some parts of the play. An example of this is when he tries to convince his friends not to go to the Capulets' ball: "it is not a spirit to go" (I.iv.51). Another example is when Juliet confesses her desire to marry him; he goes to talk to Friar Laurence. He explains the difficult situation to the friar and asks for his help. Romeo acts with foresight on both occasions. When he tells his friends not to go to the Capulet ball, he thinks about the consequences. He is also cautious about his love for Juliet, but when he needs help he is not afraid to ask for it.
