In the William Shakespeare play Romeo and Juliet, passion and desire leads characters to make decisions that are very hard and unnecessary. Romeo desired love and so he had a passion to find it. Tybalt had a passion of hate for Romeo and led to many events between them and finally passion and desire eventually led the demise and end if Romeo and Juliet.
Romeo desired love and was driven to find it. In the beginning of the play he wanted an "loved" Rosaline, and since she was unfortunately a nun and was swore to never marry and have sex, it caused Romeo a lot pain for a time because he wanted Rosaline but he knew he wasn't gonna get anywhere. He would always whine about how much he wanted and needed her and he was led to the party where he met Juliet because of Rosaline. Which brings me into a 2nd point where he found Juliet at the party. He thought he loved Rosaline but when h saw Juliet he instantly fell in love again and desired her and he continued to want her because the feeling was mutual. And finally desire led Romeo to die for Juliet. He thought she was dead and he thought or knew he couldn't live without her so he ended his own life with poison for her.
Finally Tybalt was led by a passion of hate for Romeo. The incident at the party brings out the point where he shows how much he hates him. While everyone else is enjoying the dance, Tybalt was kind if obsessing over him. He wanted him out and wouldn't enjoy the party other wise and the only reason why he held back was because the father told him to calm down and try to ignore him. Also when Marcutio had met with Tybalt, and had there little meeting after he saw Romeo coming he ignored Marcutio and even when Romeo tried to make peace he mocked him and even beat him up and this also led to the death of Marcutio.
And finally, passion and desire led to the demise and end of Romeo and Juliet. One, Romeo dearly cared about Marcutio and when he was killed his anger clouded his judgement and he killed Tybalt which caused his banishment. And to add on in the play Romeo killed Paris also because he was provoking him and that's a double murder. And finally they both died because of the strong love and desire for each other. Romeo thought he couldn't live without Juliet and so he poisoned himself an when Juliet woke up from her sleep she killed herself because she couldnt live and desired Romeo so much. Ending the story of Romeo and Juliet.
In conclusion, Passion and Desire had a big part in the play. It made characters make bad and drastic decisions. Romeo desired love, Tybalt was led by hate and a passion and desire ended the story of Romeo and Juliet. I think that Shakespeare was really trying to say desire and love are strong feelings and can affect decisions drastically and those emotions shouldn't be played with.
