of course revenge is justified. there are definately limits on how far revenge can go though. like romeo killing thibault was a little uncalled for. if your brother or sister put mustard on the handle of the milk or something like that then you can have some revenge by doing something along those lines but nothing major. Romeo did the stupidest thing possible. he just got married and found someone he loved and then gets bannished from the town. stupid stupid stupid. he should have just kicked him around a little instead of killing him. i would have ruffed him up a little and not killed him or told thibault that he is now his family and not to fight in the begining. there are situations that arise now that makes you want to get revenge but you have to make the decision between going to far or not. everyone has wanted to get revenge on someone else at some time. like when i got to go to the bathroom on the couch my sister put mustard on the lemonade pitcher and when i came back my mom asked me to get her some lemonade. of course it got on my hand. so later that night i put some poppers under the toilet seat. i thought that was a good revenge thing, it didnt go to far and was still pretty good.
Revenge is justified in certain situations. If you are in a serious situation then, it may be justifiable, but never to the extent of killing someone because then you stoop to the same level, or lower than the person that you are revenging towards.
Romeo did not do the right thing, and the result of it was his exile and Tybalts death. I know that Mercutio was Romeo's best friend but if you are going to get revenge on somebody you never want to stoop to their level, because that makes you just as low as them. Romeo, however, acted out of haste and was so angry that he didnt even think about what he was doing, or think about what the payoff of his offense would be in the long run.
If I were in Romeo's situation, I would have been angry, but I dont think I would have gone and killed Tybalt. I would have realized that if I killed Tybalt, that my punishment would be death or exile. I think that if I were Romeo I would have found some other way to vent my anger or thought of something that surpasses my disgust for Tybault. Today, I think that any person, I am not an exception, will jump to get revenge at the drop of a hat. I think that people thirst for revenge and its temporary gratification.
I have wanted to get revenge before on several occasions, but the one that sticks out most is when a 'friend' took my work as hers and accepted all credit for it. I think the main reason that I wanted to get revenge was that I wanted to take the credit for what was mine and I was frustrated at the cynical nature of her ploy.
I agree with gatorbasketball on the fact that minor things deserve revenge in a minor way and that romeo should have just kicked Tybalt instead of killing him
In the last part of the movie that we watched when Tybalt kills Mercutio, which results in Romeo killing Tybalt there was a lot of controversy. I completly believe that Romeo did the correct thing, in killing Tybalt. If my foe killed my best friend I think that I would go and kill him. Romeo had all the right to stab him. And for the people who say killig isnt the anser, they are not correct in this situation. As a result from Romeo killing Tybalt, he is sent out of Verona to be exiled. Since Romeo did, kill a man his punishment is to be killed. It makes perfect logical sence, you know, kill a man and be killed. The point to my point was that Romeo did the right thind in killing Tybalt and i think he will find someway to get out of exile and escape.

The end of the previous film where Tybalt kills Marcucio I think that Romeo gets his revenge by going and finding Tybalt and killing him, but he later regrets it... But, I Believe that justice and revenge was take place, I do not believe that they should have banished him from the town, It was an eye for an eye type of thing, I think it was right for Romeo to kill him, I would be pretty pissed if someone had just killed my friends and had gotten away with it. The Capulets should have decided that it was an eye for an eye and they should have just left it as that. (Zach Thibault)
I agree with gatorbasketball and Ayesha about revenge, that it could be justified sometimes, especially in situations in which you feel hurt, or in situations that you feel like someone had broken your heart. When I say revenge, I don't think it means just killing someone. Talking back could also be considered as a revenge. I think that you have to be like a saint to not take revenge to some situations, like if your dog ate your homework or something. I think that most people take revenge because they want the person who did harm to them to feel bad, and sad.
I don't think what Romeo did was right. Instead of killing Tybalt, Romeo could have just went to the prince with Mercutio's dead body and tell him what the capulets have done. This way, he would have been safe, and his goal of revenge would have been accomplished: The prince would have punished Tybalt. Now, even if Juliet's parents would have let him marry her, they couldn't because he killed their sibling's son. Now, he has to leave the great walls of Verona, and his newly married wife, Juliet.
If I were him, like I said, I would've just went to the prince with Tybalt's body and tell him that Tybalt did that, and then Tybalt would be punished.
Many people take revenge on others today, most of the time for silly reasons, including me. For example, one time my sister messed up my bed, that I had just made a few minutes ago. I got really angry, made my bed again, and messed up her bed. So sometimes, even for silly reasons, its really hard to control yourself from taking revenge, like what happened between Romeo and Tybalt.

Ok first of all, I'm taking all morals ou of my post. So, revenge is DEFINATELY just in extraordinary situations. JD said something about mustard and milk and revenge is right there. I think that is ridiculous, revenge isn't justified in minor situations. if it is a miniscule thing that happened, there is no point in revenge, the tiny thing doesn't matter. I definately thing that Romeo did the right thing in killing tybalt. JD and Ayesha said that he should have just messed with him a little and he wwent overboard because it was a minor situation. Tybalt KILLED someone, how is that minor in any way? an eye for an eye. Now, as aresult Romeo gets banished from the city which I think is dumb. He killed a man in order to avange the death of someone else. He killed a murderer, one could say that Tybalt was a threat to the city and Romeo was actually saving many lives by taking just one. One person died from both families, that is punishment enough. Maria said that Romeo should have not gotten into the mess and just tell on Tybalt so Tybalt would get punished. THis may be the ideal thing to do and something you may or may not regret later but at a time where someone dear to you was killed, at that time, the right thing to do is avenge his death and kill Tybalt. In this situation I would have also killed Tybalt. He kiled someone that was dear to me, I couldn't stand seeing him alive and happy, while Mercutio is dead. Of ourse like probably every one else I have wanted to get revenge before. It was something really dumb too, like MOST situatinos involving revenge. One time, at the NAtional latin forum, a girl named Heather beat my on a test. So, I wanted to annihilate her the next year. IN this case revenge is good because it made me study a lot harder, get smarter, and win. Thank you revenge!
revenge is justified as long as you are not breaking the law. People need to show restraint because revenge will perpetuate itself. No Romeo didn't do the right thing because the killing has to stop at some point. Now that Romeo has found the love of his life he is exiled from the town. If my best friend was killed, I would be a great witness for the prosecution and do everything that I could to make sure that the person responsible was punished according to the law. If I put myself in Romeo's place I would like to think that I would value life more than killing someone just because I was mad. I would rather resolve my differences through words rather than using violence. Revenge happens often over very stupid things. For instance when kids pick on one another. Someone putting ice down mt shirt instantly makes me want to retaliate. (it's called payback:)
I don't think that revenge is ever justified, becuase in the end, like Romeo, someone is always feeling guilty, upset, or ends up getting hurt worse than in the first place. I do not think that Romeo did the right thing, two wrongs, don't make a right. In this case, he made things worse by killing Tybalt after Tybalt killed Mercutio. For example, somtimes when emily and i fight, she will "hit" (make slapping noises) her self and then tell on me and say that i hit her, i would get "revenge" by doind the same back.

1. Is revenge ever justified? When? Why?
I believe that revenge is justified, as Gabriel said, in just extraordinary situations. So, let's say, if someone stole my pencil, I wouldn't steal theres. That's a stupid situation that should be ignored. Now, in Romeo's case, revenge was, in my opinion, a necessity. I know that if someone killed my friend, I'd want them dead. I'd make sure of it. Heck, I'd do it myself if I had to. Many people don't like this 'eye for an eye' attitude, but I do. It's perfectly logical. Whatever you do to someone, you must always be prepared that the same be done to you. Situations when revenge is justifiable are, as I said before, when someone is killed. Also, if someone is severely maimed or injured. Now, don't get me wrong. It is only justifiable when the other person purposely did wrong to someone else. I know if someone killed a loved one of mine, even if it was by accident, I'd still want them dead, but that's a flaw in my character. I don't forgive easilly. But, then again, there are certain situations where forgiveness is pretty much impossible, like Romeo and Tybalt's.
2. Did Romeo do the right thing? What happens as a result?
In my opinion, Romeo did what any human would do. Whether it is right or wrong, I am unsure. I can't say it's right, because murder is the most henious act any human can perform. But I can't say it's wrong, because Tybalt deserved to die for what he did. He got what was coming to him.
3. What would you do in his situation?
In this situation, I'd do exactly the same thing Romeo did. To Ayesha, would you honestly have time to stop and think about the consequences of your actions if you just witnessed the death of your friend? A pointless, terrible death? I, for one, would be blinded with rage, as I'm sure most people would. So, is it realistic to say that you would stop and think about what you were going to do?
4. What about in situation you encounter today? Have you ever wanted to get revenge? Why? Describe the situation(s)?
I can't say I've ever been in a situation that required revenge. I've been insulted by people, of course, and sometimes I feel like insulting them right back. But in situations like this, I stop and think if it's really worth it. Why continue this vicious cycle of insults? So most of the time I shrug it off, or take it as a joke. But sometimes I throw an insult right back in their face, which isn't necessarly the best thing to do, but I don't regret anything I've ever done. It's pointless to live with regret. You just have to move on think of your mistakes as something to learn from, which is what Romeo probably would have done if it weren't for his untimely death. :/
Revenge is justified but only to some extent in certain situations like gatorbasketball said, you can’t take revenge as far as killing someone. I think that Romeo could have gotten his revenge on Tybalt in a different way but I understand how Romeo could have felt after Tybalt had just killed Mercutio. So my opinions on Romeo doing the right thing are mixed, I think he needed to avenge Mercutio but he should have done it in a different way. Or at least a way that didn’t get him banished from the town where his love lives. If I was in this situation I would probably have gotten my revenge but in a less violent way that wouldn’t have gotten everyone so angry. I have wanted to get revenge many times. Like whenever my little brother blames me for something and I get in trouble and I always want to get revenge on him but if I ever do I know that I will just get into more trouble so I end up letting it go.
Revenge is never justifiable. "Love the sinner, hate the sin." - Mahatma Gandhi. One must learn to forgive and/or ignore. What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. Romeo lost a dear friend. Few can withstand such pain. However, history has shown us that people have had to suffer more, and could do more with nonviolent means than they could with violent ones. (Struggle for Indian Independence + Nonviolent resistance) Romeo merely exacerbated the conflict between the Montague’s and the Capulet’s. There was a lot of bad blood between the factions, and the deaths of Mercutio and Tibalt merely served to strain Romeo and Juliet's relationship. I would not have killed Tibalt. Such situations deserve no negative responses. Justice would be done within the hearts of the sinners. “He who commits injustice is made ever more wretched than he who suffers it.” – Plato. They would see the wrongs of their ways, as would the townspeople. The Capulet’s would be to blame. I have often been verbally abused in the past. I refrained from seeking vengeance, and decided to inform my superiors in order to resolve the conflict. Strained relationships must be severed or mended. Unfortunately, they must often be mended. A bad alliance is worse than a foe. However, one must break off such a relationship through silence not sword. Be good and good shall come of it. “Good actions give strength to ourselves and inspire good actions in others.” – Plato.
-Noel Ejaz
I think revenge can be justified, but to a certain extent. Like Ellyn said, two wrongs don’t make a right, so by Romeo killing Tybalt, it doesn’t bring anything good from it, so its defiantly not sweet revenge. I don’t think Romeo did the right thing. I think Romeo should have told Tybalt what he did and report the act or anything other than killing him. However, I believe in karma, so by Tybalt killing Merctuio, his act was going to come back at him in some way. If I was in his situation, I’m not quite sure what I would do, but I wouldn’t kill Tybalt, maybe only just hurt him either emotionally or physically. In a situation today, I probably wouldn’t kill anyone, unless it was a close friend or a family member that got killed and I was at risk of getting killed too. I would be sure to get the bad guy into jail though. I only get revenge if I feel it is necessary. Like if someone did something truly hurtful and cruel, I would do something that would show them how mean they are. “Treat others how you would like to be treated”….
I think that revenge is justified, but shouldn't be to an extreme standpoint. If someone killed your brother, then of course you are going to want to see him punished. you may not go as far as killing him yourself, but you might, say, send him to jail for eternity. I think that situations like this is all right. Even when Romeo killed Tybalt, I can understand why, but it was wrong.
Romeo made a very careless decision in killing Tybalt. I think it was wrong to make such a quick decision. It wasn't the right thing to do, even if that man had just killed Romeo's best friend. He knew that if he was in such a fight, he would be exiled or killed. That is exactly what happened. He was exiled from Verona for killing Tybalt. I think that would be better than death, but it didn't seem so for Romeo at first. I think I would probably do nearly the same. I mean, someone just killed my best friend. I'm going to go and teach that guy a lesson. I might not actually kill him. I might just handicap him for life. I wouldn't just sit there and mourn. I would have to get it out, for better or worse. Everybody, including myself, has or will experience revenge. One instance is just a simple game of tag. Someone tags you and then you want to tag them back. It is a constant game of revenge, on a very low degree of course.
Revenge is never justified because it doesn’t do anything. It doesn’t solve anything and it just causes more problems than there is already. If Romeo didn’t kill Mercutio, action could be taken against him and he would have served justice for killing Tybalt. Instead two people are dead, no justice was served, and now Romeo is blamed for it all.
Romeo did not do the right thing, and because of his anger and spontaneity, he killed a man that didn’t even mean to kill Tybalt. If I was in his situation, I sure would be mad at Mercutio, but I wouldn’t go after him because that doesn’t solve anything by killing another person, I would take my case to the king and explain what happened.
Of course everyone wants to take revenge on someone in their life because they feel like that person deserves it because of what they did to you. But it never solves anything so it’s never a good thing to take revenge on someone.

I agree with Ayesha and gatorbasketball. You should pretty much never go to the extent of killing someone for revenge. I believe that it isn't necessary. Anything under it is mostly okay, though.
I also agree with Zach on the "eye for an eye" thinking. There was two deaths, one from each side. It is even. Nothing else should occur.
I think that revenge is justified. Even more so in this kind of circumstance because when one house kills a member of another house the other house should be, allowed even, to kill a member of the house who did the killing. It would only be fair, especially if you look at it from the view of "an eye for an eye".
Though Romeo did get his payback and leveled out the playing field a bit, it wasn't the smartest thing to do. Mostly because the Prince had already given them a warning about starting fights between the two houses. And had also told them there would be punishment. As a result Romeo is thrown out of Verona and in to exile. He was told to never return pretty much.
Well since I have no clue what it would feel like to be in that situation I'm unsure as to how I would react. However if the person that died was really close to me, like a sister. I would probably want to kill the person who had done it. Though, same as Romeo, as soon as the person had died I would be very sad because I hadn't acctually thought they would die. In my head at least.
'Have I ever wanted revenge?' the answer to that question is a definite yes.In the kind of situations in my everyday life I search for revenge, even a little thing to make me and that person as even as possible. I mostly want to get revenge if someone makes fun of me by saying something really mean that they laugh at. And they are the only one that finds it funny. At that point I'll probably say something mean to get back at them. Though I'm not a fan of being mean to people, but if they are mean enough to me I will be mean right on back to them. Those are the normal situations in which I want to get revenge.
I do not agree with Ayesha;s comment stating"romeo did not do the right thing, and the result of it was his exile and Tybalts death." Ok picture your with your BEST FRIEND and he/she suddonly gets killed by the person you hate the most, along with your friend. Are you going to sit there and say "shoot my best friend just got killed by my enemy, ohh well what ever" or would you say im gonna so and seek revenge by taking his life. Not im not into revenge to say, but its a movie so anything can happen. Any way I dont agree with what Ayesha said. Romeo did do the right thing, no matter what the conciquinces were.
I do not think revenge is ever really justified but it is hard not to get revenge in the situation Romeo was in. I don’t really agree with gatorbasketball in the since that Romeos action was worse than Thibolts. They both did stupid things and even though Romeo didn’t make the best decision, I feel that it was still less of a crime than Thibolts. I am not sure what I would do in that situation but I do agree with gatorbasketball and ayesha =] that I would have just kicked the guy. Romeo should have done the same thing but there are times when you get so angry you can’t control your actions. Like when me and my brother fight he might punch me to hard and I will punch him back twice as hard. So I can understand how Romeo did that but the out come was still bad.
Revenge is justified in a few situations but not all. If you are in a tough situation then revenge is justified, but only if you think that you are doing it for a good cause\reason. I do not think that Romeo did not do the right thing by killing Tybalt. I do not think that Romeo should have killed Tybault but only jostled with him to the extent were Tybault felt bad for what he did. As a result for Romeo killing Tybault be is banished from his home town and that is not worth getting banished for. If I was put in a situation like this I would have hit the guy a few times then left but not kill him like Romeo.
I have been in a situation like this when in a lax game a guy did an illegal hit and the ref did not call it. I got so mad that i started to do a lot of illegal hits on him like he did to me.
I definitely agree with Ayesha about how revenge is justified. It was a good example that gotorbasketball (jd?)had when talking about the milk.
I think Romeo did do the right thing. I mean we all saw how tybalt was about to kill him and if Romeo didn't do that then he would have been dead. Don't you think Juliet would rather Tybalt be dead then Romeo. Yes he did get banished I agree it was stupid for that reason, but still at least he is alive. Gabriel couldn't have said it more perfectly an eye for an eye.
In his situation I probably would have done the same thing. I know we all are like "oh my god i could never kill someone or get revenge". Well i think that is completely false. We never have known what it is like to see a friend get killed by someone. If you saw that how could you not get angry and go after them. I highly doubt that anyone can say they no for a fact they would never ever get revenge. The really the only people who can say they wouldn't is if they have ever seen a friend get killed in front of them.
yes i have wanted to get revenge before. My so called friends were just totally being mean to me and decided they didn't want to hang out with me.I mean come on if your friends we're being hurtful how would you not want to get revenge. Well I didn't end up doing anything but the feeling was there.
oh and to Gabriel
Heather hahaha great times you still are better then her
i think that revenge can be justified for some reasons but i think that revenge is not a good thing becasue it makes you just as bad as the other person and yeah you might think it will make you feel better but i think that in the long run it just causes more problems.i think it was a bad idea for romeo to kill tybault especially because they are from the rival families and the families already disagree and this just made things worse and made more fights break out. it also didnt benefit him because he was exhiled and he is not happy about that.if i was in his position i dont think that i would have killed tybault. i would have probobly been angry with him but i would get over it and i wouldnt kill him because it would make me jsut as bad as him and wouldnt benefit anyone. in ym life there have been many times where i have wanted to get revenge and sometimes i did but now that i am getting older i do it much less because i know that it the long run it will not help me and will just end up making me feel bad.
No revenge is never justified. Why would you bring yourself down to that person�s level? If it�s a simple thing... say if someone hit me, im going to hit them back. But Romeo killing Thibault was unnecessary and completely avoidable.
If i were in Romeos situation im not sure exactly what i would do, but i would never kill someone for revenge. Even if they killed my friend, I wouldn�t want to bring my self down to their level.
I�ve never actually been in a situation where extreme revenge was necessary, but if someone says something ill say something back. But that is just joking around, i wouldn't actually remark back. All it wouldn�t do anything for the good of myself.
umm first of all romeo was sticking up for his bro who got stabbed. he was so pissed that he killed tybalt the dude who killed his friend. he got major revenge on tybalt because he ended up killing him. in that case revenge is justified because it was necessary. when someone kills your friend ur not gunna just tell on him your going to want to kill him...or at least romeo did. oviously i dont agree with his punishment because nothing happened to the capualists. wow maddie u wouldnt want to kill someone if they killed me. you guys who say all that are crazy if someone kills ur closest friend ur gunna be pretty mad!
Maybe you would be mad if someone killed your best friend and I don't think that people today wouldn't do that,unless they are weird. But maybe it was different back then. Revenge is never justified; just because someone kills your best friend doesn't mean you should kill them. Why waste another person's life to achieve nothing, it’s a waste of time. Romeo is bad; he shouldn't have killed Tybalat, because he is now banished from the town. If I was romeo's situation, I would just bereally sad and be really mad at tybalt and try and get him banished or executed. It’s much better because I don't get exiled and I don't waste my energy. If I was in a kind of situation like that today I could just go to the cops to have him arrested and tried or I could kill him my self and spend the rest of my life in jail, hard choice isn't it. Of course I have wanted to get revenge sometime in my life, I'm sure everyone has. I wanted revenge, because I wanted what to me was justice to be done upon the person. And I can't really think of any times I wanted revenge. I thought if he did that to me I should do it back to him to make it even. Romeo is like Epimetheus, brother of Prometheus, he doesn't think of the consequences to "what would happen if I kill some rich and powerful son of the rival family".
I disagree with Gabriel because Tybalt isn't a murderer, well he is because he is a person who murders someone, but he’s an accidental murderer, because he didn't mean to kill Mercutio and It was actually Romeo's fault that mercutio got stabbed because he held his arms so he couldn't defend to attack from Tybalt,so if it Romeo’s fault Mercution died, then Romeo should kill himself, oh by the way you are horrible at Myth.
People who think otherwise are wrong.
And I disagree with Christina Maria Salazar Lopeznieto Druyenke or however you spell it, whatever, so anyways are you saying that You want to kill the person yourself so you go to jail for life, its not like monopoly where you can just buy your way out, think about it you stay in there for the rest of your life or at least a very long time you would get so bored, or you can let the justice system kill the person with no side effects and by that I mean jail and by jail I mean...
And there definitely is time to think about your actions. My first reaction to the guy who kills my best friend is probably DIE!!!, then I would go and think after a couple seconds, wait! Do I really want to throw my life away for someone who is already dead to kill someone who will be dead shortly you said it yourself
"I've been insulted by people, of course, and sometimes I feel like insulting them right back. But in situations like this, I stop and think if it's really worth it. Why continue this vicious cycle of insults?" maybe it is on a grander scale but you had time to think of the consequences in that situation, and that split second is enough for you to change your impulse reaction.
I think revenge is justified, because Romeo just do what Tybalt did to Romeo's friend.And I think Romeo do the right thing, because it is a sword fight, and it is fair.If I'm in this situation,I will ask Tybalt to go to somewhere where nobody can't see us and have a fair fight.When I was in VN. My class hated a teacher.So in his period, we never raised our hand to answer his question, even when we knew hot to answer his questions.

I would have to agree with J.D. and Ayesha, that revenge is definitely justifiable, but to a certain extent. For example there are certain times when you might get revenge on somebody by playing a prank on them. And that is understandable. But, sometimes revenge can go to far to the point of death, and when this happens revenge is not justified. When someone seeks revenge by killing another person, they are going to far. That's why, I believe Romeo did the wrong thing by killing Tybalt. Sure, Tybalt killed Mercutio (a best friend of Romeo's), but you don't go out and then hunt down Tybalt. He should have done something minor, when seeking revenge. Plus, he didn't think about the consequences. Like J.D. mentioned Romeo was married, and by killing Tybalt he became exiled. What an idiot! For me, I always want to get revenge on the soccer field. For example, St. Francis beat our soccer team tonight 1-0. Our team was pretty down, but we knew we could get revenge when they come to play us on our home field. Then, we'll show them who is the better team. We'll come out hard, play our game, and hopefully come out with a victory.
Revenge can be justified to certain extent, although that extent should never go as far as to killing someone for revenge. I think Romeo did not do the right thing. He should have left Tybalts fate up to the Prince, he probably would had been executed anyways. But instead of that Romeo kills Tybalt and is banished from the town.If I was in this situation I would have hopefully let the Prince deal with it,although I probably would be so angry that I would try to take revenge on Tybalt. Many times, especially if my brother had done something to me, I would want to get revenge.
I think that revenge is justified. I dont think that romeo should have killed THiblt, he should have hurt him, but since he killed him he got banished. So revenge can only go so far. I do not think that romeo did the right thing. THe capulets and the montagues should learn to put each other in the other persons shoes, so they can come to a compromise. In this situation i would probably not kill the person. even though he just murdered my best friend. I would just get someone else to do it! I wouldnt be able to. If someone does something horrible to me i want to get revenge. If someone tells me secret, i might tell theres. THe main reason i would have every wanted to get revenge is if that person stoll something from me, or embarresed me. I agree with what gatorbasketball said. (who is that)
Yes, i believe that revenge is definately justified. If someone hurt you bad enough and you feel that you need to take action on it, then you can and to you it would be justified. If I were in Romeo's situation i probably would have ended up doing the same thing but i would have died cause im not such a great fencer. But yes i bieleve he did the right thing in killing Tybalt because if you kill someone then you diserve to die and who better to kill you then the best friend of the person you killed. As a result of him doing this thougyh he is exciled from the city and now everyone hates him. Also he cannot be with Juliet.I have wanted to get revenge. For instance in a baseball game. The pitcher hit me while i was batting and so when i pitched and he hit i hit him back. Its simple things like that that i believe are justified. I did it because whatever you do to me i will do to you bad harder.
I think that revenge is definitely justifiable under the right circumstances. If somebody has done you wrong, and you can get back at them without suffering to harsh a consequences, then it is perfectly all right to go after them. I think that Romeo did the wrong thing because he was not able to take the consequences for his action. Being with Juliet was more important to him than killing Tybalt so therefore he should not have done it. In this situation, I would go along with my friend and killed Tybalt. I would not sit there and be a little baby and take on my exile. I have definitely wanted to get revenge on my little brother when he framed me. So when mom wasn't looking, I just started wailing on him, only to land myself in more trouble.
i dont belive revenge is ever the best course of action it almost always ends badly. i for one cannot recall anytime revenge has brought peace justice or anything else someone may want.revenge always backfires in the persons face and they lose even more than before because of there un-thinking actions.
I don't believe that revenge is justified, because you alomost always will end up regretting what you did as an act of selfishness and just not thinking before acting. i don't think Romeo did the right thing because after killing tybalt he regrets it because he is banished from the town. i would be furious, i dont know if i would go to the extreme as to kill tybalt but i would probably rough him up some. absolutley i've wanted to get revenge, who hasn't???? especially when i was younger because i had not gained the maturity level and self-control.
Just for the record....
TEBOW WILL WIN THE HEISMAN!
1. i think that it would dependupon the situation if revenge was justibiable. The sence of revenge gives youthis sort of... dark gloomy feeling that evil will occur to someone or something because of their wrong doing. personally, batman pops into my head whenever i hear or think about revenge. so as i was saying, revenge can be justified depending upon a certain degree or revenge and it also depends on what the person did that will recieve this ill willed package of madness.in some cases i will agree that revenge is something to be hated, mainly because it is something that can be used to harshly. if someone triped you in the middle of the street in New York and a taxi cab missed your head by five inches, then you got up and shot the guy that tripped you in the face.... that would be somewhat of a over reacting responce. but if you got up and started to yell at him and all of that, i would be on the side of the guy that was tripped. that is unless he PURPOSFULY tripped him hoping he would get killed, then i would think that you could call throwing in a couple of haymakers being necissarrily agressive. so just to repeat myself again so you start to think im a broken record player, i think that revenge can be justified but, it can also be used to a point to where you just kill the entire concept of revenge.
2. by killing Thibault? umm... no that was not the righ tthing to do. killing him right after he married some one that he loves dearly, that he had searched for his entire life, then he kills someone and is (as gatorman said) bannished from the town! i find that to be something so cluless of intelligency. you might find that today if you stuck Denny and I as the head chairman and CEO of a large disposal of biohazzardous chemical company. we would accidentally blow up the entire fricken world. so leaving our accidentally belligerant ways, i do think that Romeo was a complete retard for doing that... just senceless.
3. first off i would like to take note that i (myself) have the slightest bit of common sence it takes to realize that killing somebody is wrong. but if i was in his situation of just killing some dude(thibault), i would just go with it and not deny it. i would say that i did it, and iam willing to take the consiquinces for my ignorant actions.
4.i would love to get revenge on many people.(nothing like Romeo) but i would like to go yell at the Germans who thought that you could put a stock GTI clutch of R32 GTI.(retarded thing they did. it chatters and cracks every 5k miles). another thing is i would like to get revenge on those little kids that have no lives except for there little xbox live account and the inly game they have is halo. so they play it all day. you join the game and before you can even move your joystick on the controoler, your snipped. then you here this little 8 year old kid chuckling in the background of your mic.i hate that. id like to just blow them to peices(in the game) one time. i like to because well it just pisses me off and thats how i roll.
yes in somecases. like if someone killed someone close to you in cold blood. you would have the full right to get revenge for that. if you think of it in a way though revenge isn't a good thing it is a but it is still considered okay because every human takes revenge. it is a natural thing.
yes ,any one would do that. he was just doing what was already going to happen when the prince finds out. but the consiquences were not worth it. he was exiled from the town and would not be able to see juliet.
i would show his body to the prince so i wouldn't be exiled
today i figured out that my cousin messed up my halo 3 disc by turning the xbox 360 on its side. i would want revenge for that as well. i would mess up his disc so he couln't play it, i consider it an eye for an eye. i was playing halo and all of a sudden the game froze. i open the game and i saw that there was a big ring of a scratch on the bottom of the disc. i was very angry
